If the vehicle breaks downE00800101166
If the vehicle breaks down on the road, move it to the shoulder and use the hazard warning
flashers and/or the warning triangle etc.
Refer to “Hazard warning flasher switch” on page 5-37.
If the engine stops/fails
Vehicle operation and control are affected if
the engine stops.
Before moving the vehicle to a safe area, be aware of the following:
l The brake booster becomes inoperative
and the pedal effort will increase. Press
down the brake pedal harder than usual.
l Since the power steering pump is no lon-
ger operative, the steering wheel feels
heavy when turning it.
Emergency starting
E00800502112
If the engine cannot be started because thebattery is weak or dead, the battery from an-other vehicle can be used with jumper cables to start the engine.
WARNINGl To start the engine using jumper cables
connected from another vehicle, perform
the correct procedures according to the instruction manual. Incorrect procedures could result in a fire or explosion or dam-
age to the vehicles.
1. Get the vehicles close enough so the
jumper cables can reach, but be sure the vehicles aren’t touching each other.If they are, it could cause a ground con-
nection you don’t want. The vehicle will not start, and the bad grounding could
damage the electrical systems.
CAUTIONl Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-
volt battery.
If the other system isn’t 12-volt, shorting can damage both vehicles.
2. You could be injured if the vehicles
move. Set the parking brake firmly on
each vehicle. Put an automatic transmis-
sion in “P” (PARK) or a manual trans- mission in “N” (Neutral). Turn off the
ignition switch.
WARNINGl Turn off the ignition on both vehicles be-
forehand.
Make sure that the cables or your clothes cannot be caught by the fan or drive belt.
Personal injury could result.NOTEl Turn off all lamps, heater and other electri-
cal loads. This will avoid sparks and help
save both batteries.
3. Make sure battery electrolyte is at the
proper level.
Refer to “Battery” on page 10-10.
WARNINGl If electrolyte fluid is not visible, or ap-
pears to be frozen, Do Not Attempt Jump
Starting!
A battery might rupture or explode if the temperature is below the freezing point orif it is not filled to the proper level.
4. Connect one end of one jumper cable to
the positive (+) terminal of the dis-charged battery (A), and the other end to
the positive (+) terminal of the booster
battery (B).

WARNINGlTake care in handling brake fluid as it is
harmful to the eyes and may also cause
damage to painted surfaces. Wipe up any spills immediately.Power steering fluid
E01001101407
To check the fluid level
Check the fluid level in the reservoir whilethe engine is idling.
Check to make certain that the power steering
fluid level is always between the “MAX” and
“MIN” level markings on the fluid reservoir
and refill the fluid if necessary.
Fluid type
Use “ MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE
PSF (Power Steering Fluid)”.
Battery
E01001203369
The condition of the battery is very important
for quick starting of the engine and proper functioning of the vehicle’s electrical system.
Regular inspection and care are especially
important in cold weather.
NOTEl On vehicles equipped with 2 batteries, when
the batteries are replaced, the 2 batteries
should be replaced at the same time.
If only a battery is replaced, it will cause shortening the batteries life.Checking battery electrolyte
level
The electrolyte level must be between the specified limit on the outside of the battery.
Replenish with distilled water as necessary.
The inside of the battery is divided into sev- eral compartments; remove the cap from each
compartment and fill to the upper mark. Do not top up beyond the upper mark because
spillage during driving could cause damage.
Check the electrolyte level at least once every
4 weeks, depending on the operating condi- tions.
If the battery is not used, it will discharge by
itself with time. Check it once every 4 weeks and charge with low current as necessary.
