 Always obey applicab
le laws and regula-
tions. Be a polite and alert driver. Alwaysleave room for unexpected events, such as sudden braking.  If you plan to drive in another country, obey their vehicle re
gistration laws and
make sure you will be able to get the right fuel.

 Check the battery. At the same time, check the terminals and wiring. During extremely cold weather, the battery will not be as strong. Also, the battery powerlevel may drop beca
use more power is
used for cold starting and driving. Before driving the vehicle, check to see ifthe engine runs at the proper speed and if the headlights are as
bright as normally.
Charge or replace the battery if necessary.During extreme cold weather, it is possi- ble that a very low battery could freeze.
 Warm the engine sufficiently. After start- ing the engine, allow a short warm-uptime to distribute oil to all cylinders. Then drive your vehicle slowly. Stay at low speeds at first so that thetransaxle, transfer case and rear axle oil have time to spread to all lubrication points. Check the engine antifreeze. If there is not enough coolant because of a leak or from engine
overheating, add Mit-
subishi Motors Genuine Super Long Life Coolant Premium or equivalent.Please read this section in conjunction with the “Engine coolant” on page 9-8.

All the parts of the brake system are critical to safety. Have the vehicle serviced by anauthorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice at regular inter-
vals according to the “WARRANTY ANDMAINTENANCE MANUAL”.
Check the brake system while driving at a low speed immediately
after starting, espe-
cially when the brakes are wet, to confirmthey work normally. A film of water can be formed on the brake discs and prevent normal braking after driv-ing in heavy rain or through large puddles, or after the vehicle is washed. If this occurs, dry the brakes out by drivi
ng slowly while lightly
depressing the brake pedal. On snowy roads, ice can form on the braking system, making the brakes less effective. While driving in such
conditions, pay close
attention to surrounding vehicles and to the condition of the road surface. From time to time, lightly depress the brake pedal andcheck how effective the brakes are. It is important to take advantage of the engine braking by downshifting while driving on steep downhill roads in order to prevent the brakes from overheating.
Driving during cold weather
WA R N I N G The battery gives o
ff explosive hydrogen
gas. Any spark or flame can cause the bat- tery to explode, which could cause serious injury or death.Always wear protecti
ve clothes and a face
mask when working with your battery, or let a skilled mechanic do it.
WA R N I N G Never open the radiator cap when the radiator is hot. You could be seriously burned.

1. Park the vehicle in the shade whenever possible. Parking in the hot sun makes thevehicle interior extremely hot which then requires more time to
cool. If it is neces-
sary to park in the sun, open the windowsfor the first few minutes of air condition- ing to expel the hot air. 2. Afterwards, keep the windows closedwhen the air conditioner is in use. The entry of outside air through open windows will reduce cooling efficiency.3. When running the air conditioner, make sure the air intake, which is located in front of the windshield, is free of obstruc-tions such as leaves. Leaves collected in the air-intake chamber may reduce air flow and plug the water drains.
If the air conditioner seems less effective than usual, the cause might
be a refrigerant leak.
Have the system inspected by your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facilityof your choice.
The air conditioner shoul
d be operated for at
least five minutes each week, even in cold weather. This includes the quick defrostingmode. Operating the
air condition system
weekly maintains lubrication of the compres- sor internal parts to keep the air conditionerin the best operating condition.
N00733801190
The air conditioning system is equipped with an air filter to re
move pollen
and dust.
The air filter’s ability to collect pollen anddirt is reduced as it be
comes dirty, so replace
it periodically. For the maintenance interval, refer to the “WARRANTY AND MAINTE-NANCE MANUAL”.
 To defog quickly, direct the air flow from the side vents toward the door windows.  When defrosting, do not set the temperature to the maximum cool position. This will blow cool air on the
window glass and fog it
up.
Important air conditioning operating tips
NOTE
Air conditioning system refrig- erant and lubricant recommen-dations
CAUTION The air conditioning system in your vehicle must be charged with the refrigerant HFC-134a and the lubricant SUN-PAG56. Use of any other refrigerant or lubricant will cause severe damage a
nd may require replac-
ing your vehicle’s en
tire air conditioning
system. The release of refrigerant into the atmo-sphere is not recommended. The new refrigerant HFC-134a in your vehi- cle is designed not to harm the earth’s ozonelayer. However, it may contribute slightly to global warming. It is recommended that the old refrigerant besaved and recycled for future use.

NOTE
 Operation in certain conditions such as driv- ing on a dusty road and frequent use of the air conditioner ca
n lead to reduction of ser-
vice life of the filter. When you feel that theair flow is lower than normal or when the windshield or windows st
art to fog up easily,
replace the air filter.Contact your Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a

If you drive your vehicl
e with a low battery
charge after the engine has been started byusing jumper cables, th
e engine may misfire.
This can cause the anti-lock braking system warning light to blink on
and off. This is only
due to the low battery voltage. It is not a problem with the brake system. If this hap- pens, fully charge the battery and ensure the charging system is operating properly.

The condition of the batte
ry is very important
for quick starting and to keep the vehicle’selectrical system working properly. Check the battery regularly. If battery performance
is suspect, have the
battery and charging
system tested by an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility
of your choice.
The electrolyte level
must be between the
limits shown on the outside
of the battery. Fill
it with distilled water
as needed. The inside of
the battery is divided into several compart- ments. Take the cap off of each compartmentand fill to the mark. Do not fill above the t
op line because a spill
during driving could cause damage. The battery is weaker in cold temperatures. This has to do with its chemical and physicalproperties and is why a very cold battery, especially one with a lo
w charge, will have a
hard time starting your vehicle.It is recommended that you have your battery and charging system checked by an autho- rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair
facility of your choice
before the start of cold
weather. If necessary, have it charged. Thiswill provide more reliab
le starting, and longer
battery life. To disconnect the battery cable, stop the engine. Disconne
ct the negative (-) terminal
first, then the positive
(+) terminal. To recon-
nect the battery, first
connect the positive (+)
terminal and then the negative (-) terminal,before starting the vehicle.
CAUTION Do not let any petrol
eum-based fluid touch,
mix with, or get into the brake fluid. Thiswill damage the seals. Be careful when handling brake fluid. It can damage painted surfaces. Use only the listed brake fluid. Different brands of brake fluid have different addi-tives, and these can cause a chemical reac- tion. Do not mix brands of brake fluid. Keep the reservoir ta
nk cap closed to keep
the brake fluid from evaporating.

It is important to familiarize yourself with the following terms:  Cold tire pressure: • The measured pressure after the vehicle has been parked for
at least three hours,
or• The measured pressure when the vehicle is driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) after having been parked for three hours.
 Maximum pressure: the maximum per- missible cold tire inflation pressure for this tire.
WA R N I N G Never disconnect the battery while the engine is running, or you could damagethe vehicle’s electrical parts. Never short-circuit the battery. This could cause it to overheat and be damaged. Keep sparks, cigarette
s, and flames away
from the battery because the battery couldexplode. Electrolyte (battery acid) is made of corro- sive diluted sulfuric acid. If it spills on nearby parts, it can crack, stain, or dis- color them. And if it gets on your skin orin your eyes, it can cause burns or blind- ness. Please observe the following han- dling instructions:• If electrolyte gets on plastic parts orother nearby parts, wipe it off with a softcloth or chamois soak
ed in a solution of
water and neutral detergent then imme- diately rinse the affected parts withplenty of water.• If electrolyte gets on your hands orclothes, rinse thoroughly with water. If electrolyte gets in
your eyes, flush them
with water immediately and get immedi-ate medical attention.
 Open doors and wind
ows in any closed
space where you may be charging or working with the battery. Always wear protective clothing and gog- gles when working with the battery, or have a skilled automobi
le technician do it.
If you are quick-charging your battery, first disconnect the battery cables. In order to prevent a short-circuit, be sure to disconnect the negative (-) terminal first, and reconnect it last. If the electrolyte level
is very low, have the
battery checked at an
authorized Mitsubi-
shi Motors dealer or
a repair facility of
your choice. Battery posts, termin
als and related acces-
sories contain lead
and lead compounds.
Wash hands after handling.NOTE
 Check each battery terminal for corrosion. You can prevent further corrosion by wash-ing with a solution of
baking soda and water.
Grease the posts and cl
amps after cleaning or
tightening them.  Ensure the battery is securely installed and cannot be moved. Also
check each terminal
for tightness.  If you will not be driv
ing your vehicle for a
long period of time, re
move the battery and
store it in a place where the battery fluid will not freeze. The batter
y only should be stored
with a full charge.  Before cleaning the ba
ttery, tighten all the
filler port caps to keep
dirt and moisture out.
