If the vehicle breaks downE00800101179
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 5-42.
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 feelsheavy when turning it.
Emergency starting
E00800504318
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 below. Incorrect procedures could result in a fire or explosion or dam-
age to the vehicles.CAUTIONl Do not attempt to start the engine by pulling
or pushing the vehicle.
It could damage your vehicle.
l Always wear protective eye goggles when
working near the battery.
l Keep the battery out of the reach of children.
1.
Get the vehicles close enough so the
jumper cables can reach, but be sure the vehicles aren’t touching each other.
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. Set the parking brake firmly on each ve-
hicle. Put an A/T in “P” (PARK) or an
M/T in “N” (Neutral). Turn off the igni-
tion 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.
3. Turn off all lamps, heater and other elec-
trical loads.
4. Make sure battery electrolyte is at the
proper level.
Refer to “Battery” on page 10-09.
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 or if it is not filled to the proper level.
5. Connect one end of one jumper cable to
the positive (+) terminal of the dis-charged battery (A or B), and the other
end to the positive (+) terminal of the booster battery (C).

CAUTIONlIf you tow the vehicles with the driving
wheels on the ground (Type B) as illustrated,
make sure that the towing speed and dis-
tance given below are never exceeded, caus-
ing damage to the transmission.
Petrol-powered vehicles
Towing speed: 50 km/h (31 mph)
Towing distance: 50 km (31 miles)
Diesel-powered vehicles
Towing speed: 30 km/h (19 mph)
Towing distance: 80 km (50 miles)
For the towing speed and the towing dis- tance, follow the local driving laws and reg- ulations.
Towing with front wheels off
the ground (Type B)
Place the selector lever in the “N” (NEU-TRAL) position.
Release the parking brake.
CAUTIONl Never tow an
A/T vehicle with the front
wheels up (and the rear wheels on the
ground) (Type B) when the A/T fluid level is low. This may cause serious and expensive damage to the transmission.Towing with rear wheels off the
ground (Type C)
Place the selector lever in the “N” (NEU- TRAL) position. Turn the ignition key to the
“ACC” position and secure the steering wheel in a straight-ahead position with a ropeor tiedown strap. Never place the ignition
switch in the “LOCK” position when towing.
Emergency towing
If towing service is not available in an emer-gency, your vehicle may be temporarily tow-ed by a rope secured to the towing hook.If your vehicle is to be towed by another ve-
hicle or if your vehicle tows another vehicle, pay careful attention to the following points:
If your vehicle is to be towed by
another vehicle
1. The front towing hooks (A) and rear
towing hooks (B) are located as shown
in the illustrations. Secure the tow rope
to the towing hook.
Rear
NOTEl Using a wire rope or metal chain can result
in damage to the vehicle body. It is best to use a non-metallic rope. If you use a wire
rope or metal chain, wrap it with cloth at any
point where it touches the vehicle body.
l Take care that the tow rope is kept as hori-
zontal as possible. An angled tow rope can
damage the vehicle body.

3.Check the brake fluid level in the reser-
voir.
The brake fluid level must be between the “MAX” and “MIN” marks on the
reservoir.
The fluid level falls slightly with wear of the
brake pads, but this does not indicate any ab-
normality.
If the brake fluid level falls markedly in a short length of time, it indicates leaks from
the brake system.
If this occurs, we recommend you to have the vehicle checked.
Fluid type
Use brake fluid conforming to DOT3 or
DOT4 from a sealed container. The brake fluid is hygroscopic. Too much moisture in
the brake fluid will adversely affect the brake
system, reducing the brake performance.
CAUTIONl Take care in handling brake fluid as it is
harmful to the eyes, may irritate your skin and also damage painted surfaces.CAUTIONl Use only the specified brake fluid.
Do not mix or add different brands of brake fluid to prevent chemical reactions.
Do not let any petroleum-based fluid touch, mix with, or get into the brake fluid.
This will damage the seals.
l Keep the reservoir tank cap closed to pre-
vent the brake fluid from deteriorating ex- cept maintenance.
l Clean the filler cap before removing and
close the cap securely after maintenance.Power steering fluid
E01001102459
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 top up the fluid, if necessary.
Fluid type
Use “ MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE
PSF (Power Steering Fluid)”.
Battery
E01001201772
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.
