Disconnection and connection
E01011001223
To disconnect the battery cable, stop the en-
gine, first disconnect the negative (-) terminal
and then the positive (+) terminal. When con-
necting the battery, first connect the positive
(+) terminal and then the negative (-) termi-
nal.
NOTEl Open the terminal cover (A) before discon-
necting or connecting the positive (+) termi-
nal of the battery.
l Loosen the nut (B), and then disconnect the
battery cable from the positive (+) terminal.NOTEWARNINGl Keep sparks, cigarettes, and flames away
from the battery because the battery could explode.
l The battery electrolyte is extremely caus-
tic. Do not allow it to come in contact with your eyes, skin, clothing, or the painted
surfaces of the vehicle.
Spilt electrolyte should be flushed imme-
diately with ample amounts of water.
Irritation to eyes or skin from contact with electrolyte requires immediate medi-
cal attention.
l Ventilate when charging or using the bat-
tery in an enclosed space.CAUTIONl Keep it out of reach of children.CAUTIONlNever disconnect the battery with the igni-
tion switch or the operation mode in ON.
Doing so could damage electric components.
l Never short-circuit the battery. This could
cause it to overheat and be damaged.
l If the battery is to be quick-charged, first
disconnect the battery cables.
l In order to prevent a short circuit, be sure to
disconnect the negative (-) terminal first.
l Always wear protective eye goggles when
working near the battery.
l Do not bring the nearby parts, the plastic
parts and so on into contact with sulphuric acid (battery electrolyte) which may crack,
stain or discolour them.
If they are in contact, wipe off with soft cloth, chamois or the like and an aqueous
solution of neutral detergent then immedi- ately rinse the affected parts with plenty of
water.NOTEl Keep the terminals clean. After the battery is
connected, apply terminal protection grease.
To clean the terminals, use lukewarm water.
l Check to see if the battery is securely instal-
led and cannot be moved during travel. Also check each terminal for tightness.

Weatherstripping
To prevent freezing of the weatherstrippingon the doors, bonnet, etc., they should be treated with silicone grease.
Additional equipment
It is a good idea to carry a shovel or a short-
handled spade in the vehicle during the win- ter so that you can clear away snow if you get stranded. A small hand-brush for sweeping
snow off the vehicle and a plastic scraper for the windscreen and rear window are also use-ful.
Fusible links
E01002900564
The fusible links will melt to prevent a fire if
a large current attempts to flow through cer- tain electrical systems.
In case of a melted fusible link, we recom- mend you to have your vehicle inspected.
For the fusible links, please refer to “Fuse
load capacity” on page 10-22.
WARNINGl Fusible links must not be replaced by any
other device. Failing to fit the correct fusi-
ble link may result in fire in the vehicle,
property destruction and serious or fatal injuries at any time.Fuses

Fuse block location
To prevent damage to the electrical systemdue to shortcircuiting or overloading, each in-
dividual circuit is provided with a fuse.
There are fuse blocks in the passenger com-
partment and in the engine compartment.
Passenger compartment (LHD
vehicles)
The fuse blocks in the passenger compart- ment are located behind the fuse lid in front
of the driver’s seat at the position shown in the illustration.

or specifications.
l The table above shows the main equip-
ment corresponding to each fuse.
The fuse box does not contain spare 7.5 A ,
25 A or 30 A fuses. If one of these fuses burns out, substitute with the following fuse.7.5 A: 10 A spare fuse
25 A: 20 A spare fuse
30 A: 30 A audio system amp fuse
When using a substitute fuse, replace with a
fuse of the correct capacity as soon as possi- ble.

1. Before replacing a fuse, always turn off
the electrical circuit concerned and turn
the ignition switch to the “LOCK” posi-
tion or put the operation mode in OFF.
2. Remove the fuse puller (A) from the in-
side of the fuse box in the engine com-
partment.
3. Referring to the fuse load capacity table,
check the fuse pertaining to the problem.
B- Fuse is OK
C- Blown fuse
NOTEl If any system does not function but the fuse
corresponding to that system is normal, theremay be a fault in the system elsewhere. We recommend you to have your vehiclechecked.
4. Use the fuse puller to insert a new fuse
with the same capacity. Make sure you
insert the fuse into the same location in
the fuse block.
CAUTIONl If the newly inserted fuse blows again after a
short time, we recommend you to have the electrical system checked to find the causeand rectify it.
l Never use a fuse with a larger capacity than
specified or a substitute (such as a cable or
foil). Doing so could cause the circuit wires
to overheat and create a fire.Replacement of lamp bulbs
E01003101922
Before replacing a bulb, ensure the lamp isoff. Do not touch the glass part of the new
bulb with your bare fingers; the skin oil left
on the glass will evaporate when the bulb gets hot and the vapour will condense on the
reflector and dim the surface.
Replacement of lamp bulbs
10-26OGAE17E2Maintenance10

CAUTIONlBulbs are extremely hot immediately after
being turned off.
When replacing a bulb, wait for it to cool
sufficiently before touching it. You could otherwise be burnt.
l Do not install commercially available LED-
type bulbs.
Commercially available LED-type bulbs
could adversely affect the operation of the vehicle, such as by preventing the lamps andother vehicle equipment from operating
properly.NOTEl If you are unsure of how to carry out the
work as required, we recommend you to consult a specialist.
l Be careful not to scratch the vehicle body
when removing a lamp or lens.
l When it rains or when the vehicle has been
washed, the inside of the lens sometimes be-
comes foggy. This is the same phenomenon as when window glass mists up on a humid
day, and does not indicate a functional prob- lem.
When the lamp is switched on, the heat will
remove the fog. However, if water gathers inside the lamp, we recommend you to havethe lamp checked.Bulb capacity
E01003200290
When replacing a bulb, use a new bulb with
the same wattage and colour.

Codes in parentheses indicate bulb
types.
WARNINGl Always consult a specialist when repair-
ing or replacing the bulbs of high intensi- ty discharge headlamps.
This is because the power circuit, bulbs
and electrodes generate a high voltage that could cause an electric shock.NOTEl An LED, not a bulb, is used in the side turn-
signal lamp (on outside rear-view mirror).
Contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point when there is a need for
repair or replacement.
