N00836300190
If your vehicle breaks down on the road, move to the shoulder and turn on the hazardwarning flashers. If there is no shoulder, or the shoulder is not safe, drive in the right lane slowly, with the hazard lights flashing, untilyou come to a safe stopping place. Keep the flashers flashing. If the engine stops, there will be no power assist to the steering and brakes, making these difficult to use.  The brake booster will not work, so the brakes will not grip well. The brake pedalwill be harder to press than usual.  Since there is no power steering assist, the steering wheel will be hard to turn.
Get help from your passengers, bystanders, etc. to push the vehicl
e and move it to a safe
zone.
N00836400670
If the engine cannot be started because the battery is weak or dead, you can start it withthe battery from another vehicle using jumper cables.
1. Take off any metal jewelry such as watch bands or bracelets that might make an accidental electrical contact. 2. Position the vehicles close enoughtogether so that the jumper cables can reach, but be sure the vehicles aren’t touching each other. 3. You could be injured if the vehicles move. Set the parking brake firmly on each vehi- cle. Put an automatic transaxle, Twin Clutch SST or CVT in “P” (PARK) or amanual transaxle in “N” (Neutral). Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” posi- tion.

Jump-starting the engine
WA R N I N G Follow the procedure described in this sec- tion when using the jump cable to start the engine. Failure to follow these instructions can cause serious injury or death.CAUTION Do not try to start your vehicle by pushing or towing. Vehicles with Twin Clutch SST can- not be started this way. Pushing or towing avehicle that has a manual transaxle may overheat and damage the catalytic converter. Also, there is more ri
sk of an accident when
a vehicle is being pushed or towed.NOTE
 Although the battery in your vehicle is located in the trunk (refer to page 9-11), use the joint terminal in the engine compartment to jump start the engine.
CAUTION Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12- volt battery. If the other system isn’t 12-volt, both systems can be damaged.WA R N I N G Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” position on both vehicles. Make sure that the cables or your clothes cannot be caught by the fan or drive belt. Personalinjury could result. NOTE
 Turn off all lights, heater, and other electrical loads. This will avoid sparks and help saveboth batteries.

Engine overheating 8-4 For emergencies

If you drive your vehicle with a low battery charge, after the engine has been started byusing jumper cables, the engine may misfire. This can cause the anti-lock braking system warning light to blink on and off. This is onlydue to the low battery voltage. It is not a problem with the brake system. If this hap- pens, fully charge the battery and ensure thecharging system is operating properly.
N00836500033
When the engine is overheating, the informa-tion screen in the multi-information display will be interrupted and the engine coolant temperature warning display will appear. Also “ ” will blink. If this happens:
1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place. Turn on the hazard warning flashers. 2. With the engine still running, carefully raise the engine hood to vent the enginecompartment. 3. Check that the cooling fans is running. If the fan is not turning, stop the engineimmediately and contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facil- ity of your choice for assistance. 4. If you see steam or spray coming from under the hood, turn off the engine.5. If you do not see steam or spray coming from under the hood, leave the engine on until the bar graph for the engine coolanttemperature warning display on the multi- information display goes down. When it is in the middle of the normal zone, youcan start driving again. If the bar graph stays in the red zone, turn off the engine.
6. When you do not see any more steam or spray, open the hood. Look for obvious leaks, such as a split radiator hose. Be careful as components will be hot. Anyleak source must be repaired. 7. If there is no obvious leak source, check the coolant level in the reserve tank. Ifthere is none, or if it is too low, slowly add coolant. 8. If the reserve tank needs coolant, you willprobably also need to add coolant to the radiator. Do not loosen or remove the radiator cap until the engine has cooleddown.
 This vehicle is equipped with a mainte- nance-free battery located in the trunk. To assure proper battery installation and venting of flammable gases, the battery must be serviced and/or replaced by anauthorized Mitsubishi dealer only.
As your vehicle has anti-lock brakes Engine overheating
WA R N I N G
WA R N I N G To avoid personal injury, keep hands, hair, jewelry and clothes away from the cooling fans. The cooling fans can start at any time.
WA R N I N G Before raising the engine hood, check to see if there is steam or spray coming from under the hood. Steam or spray coming from an overheated engine could seriously scald you.Do not open the hood until there is no steam or spray.

If your vehicle becomes stuck in snow, sand, or mud, it can often be moved by a rocking motion. Rock your vehicle back and forth tofree it. Do not rev the engine or spin the wheels. Constant efforts to free a stuck vehicle cancause overheating and transaxle failure. Let the engine idle for a few minutes to cool the transaxle before trying again.If your vehicle is still stuck after several rock- ing attempts, call for a commercial tow truck service.
CAUTION Do not attempt to be towed by another vehi- cle with a rope.NOTE
 Your vehicle cannot tow any other vehicle.
Towing the vehicle by a tow truck
CAUTION This vehicle must not be towed by a tow truck using sling lift type equipment (Type A) as illustrated. Using a sling lift will dam-age the bumper and front end.
Towing with front wheels off the ground. Towing with rear wheels off the ground.
 Do not tow all-wheel dr
ive vehicles with the
front or rear wheels on the ground (Type B or Type C) as illustrated. This could result in the driving system damage or vehicle may jump at the carriage.If you tow all-wheel drive vehicles, use Type D or Type E equipment.

To reduce the possibility of catalytic con- verter damage:  Use UNLEADED GASOLINE ONLY of the type of recommended in “Fuel selec- tion”.  Do not drive with an extremely low fuel level. Running out of gas could damage the catalytic converter.  Do not try to start the engine by pushing or towing the vehicle. If the battery is weak or run down, use jumper cables to properly start the engine.
 Do not idle the engine with any spark plug wires disconnected or removed, such as when performing diagnostic tests.  Do not idle the engine for a long time if it is idling roughly or otherwise obviously malfunctioning.  To prevent the catalytic converter from being damaged from unburned gas, do not race the engine when turning off the igni- tion switch.  Stop driving the vehicle if you think the performance is noticeably low, or the engine has a malfunction. If you are not able to stop driving immediately, slowdown and drive for only a short time. Have an inspection made by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facil-ity of your choice as soon as possible.  In unusual situations involving major engine problems, a burning odor mayindicate severe and abnormal catalytic converter overheating. If this occurs, stop in a safe place, shut the engine off and letthe vehicle cool. Once the engine is cool, immediately take your vehicle to an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or arepair facility of your choice for service.
N00937500510
Use the engine hood release lever (locatedunder the instrument panel near the driver’sdoor) to unlock the engine hood.
CAUTION Damage to the catalytic converter can result if your vehicle is not kept in proper operating condition. If the engine malfunctions or mis- fires, or if your vehicle performance suffers, have it serviced promptly. Running yourvehicle when it is overheated may result in damage to the converter and vehicle.WA R N I N G Do not park or run your vehicle in areas where combustible materials such as dry grass or leaves can come in contact with a hot exhaust, since a fire could occur. Do not put undercoat paint on the cata- lytic converter.
Engine hood
CAUTION To avoid the risk of being burned, do not touch the air outlets (A) and air scoop (B) on the engine hood when the engine compart- ment is hot (when the engine is running orimmediately after the vehicle has been driven).

It is important to familiarize yourself with the following terms:  Cold tire pressure: • The measured pressure after the vehiclehas been parked for at least three hours, or • The measured pressure when the vehicleis driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) after having been parked for three hours.
 Maximum inflation pressure: the maxi- mum permissible cold tire inflation pres- sure for this tire.
Disconnection and connection
WA R N I N G Never disconnect the battery while the engine is running, or you could damage the vehicle’s electrical parts.  Never short-circuit the battery. This could cause it to overheat and be damaged.  Keep sparks, cigarettes, and flames away from the battery because the battery could explode.  Electrolyte (battery acid) is made of corro- sive diluted sulfuric acid. If it spills onnearby parts, it can crack, stain, or dis- color them. And if gets on your skin or in your eyes, it can cause burns or blindness. Please observe the following handling instructions:
• If electrolyte gets on plastic parts or other nearby parts, wipe it off with a soft cloth or chamois soaked 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.
 Always wear protective clothing and gog- gles when working with the battery, or have a skilled automobile technician do it.  This vehicle is equipped with a mainte- nance-free battery located in the trunk. To assure proper battery installation andventing of flammable gases, the battery must be serviced and/or replaced by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer only. In order to prevent a short circuit, be sure to disconnect the negative (-) terminalfirst, and reconnect it last.  Battery terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling. WA R N I N G
Tires
WA R N I N G Driving with tires that are worn, damaged or improperly inflated is dangerous. These type tire conditions will adversely affect vehicle performance.These type tire conditions can also cause a tread separation or blowout which may result in an accident causing seriousinjury or death. Tires, including spare tire, degrade over time with age even when they are not being used. It is recommended that tires over 6 years generally be replaced even ifdamage is not obvious.
