1. Park the vehicle in the shade wheneverpossible. Parking in the hot sun makes thevehicle interior extremely hot which thenrequires 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. Theentry of outside air through open windowswill reduce cooling efficiency.
3. When running the air conditioner, makesure the air intake, which is located infront of the windshield,
is free of obstruc-
tions such as leaves. Leaves collected inthe air-intake chamber may reduce airflow and plug the water drains.
If the air conditioner seems less effective thanusual, the cause might be a refrigerant leak.Have the system inspected by your authorizedMitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facilityof your choice.

For quick defrosting NOTE
While the “ ” indicator light is on, the airconditioning compressor
will run automati-
cally. The outside air
position will also be
selected and the blower
speed will be set at
the maximum automatically.
If the “ ” indicator light is on, you cannotturn the air conditioner
off or select the recir-
culation position. This prevents the windowsfrom fogging up.To defog quickly, direct the air flow from theside vents toward the door windows.When defrosting, do not set the temperatureto the maximum cool position. This willblow cool air on the
window glass and fog it
up.

FM signals do not follow the earth surfacenor are they reflected by the upper atmo-sphere. For this reason,
FM broadcasts cannot
be received over long distances. AM signalsfollow the earth’s surface and are reflected bythe upper atmosphere. For this reason, AMbroadcasts can be received over longer dis-tances.Because of the limited
range of FM signals
and the way FM waves transmit, you mayexperience weak or
fading FM reception.
When the broadcast is
blocked by mountains
or similar obstructions,
reception can be dis-
turbed.
The reason why one can hear FM but not AMin parking garages, unde
r bridges etc., is that
FM signals, unlike AM
signals, are reflected
by solid objects such
as buildings, etc.
Because FM signals are easily reflected bybuildings, this can also
cause reception dis-
turbances.The direct signal from
the broadcast station
reaches the antenna slightly before thereflected signal. This time difference maycause some reception di
sturbance or flutter.
This problem occurs primarily in urban areas.
If one listens to a weak station and is in thevicinity of another st
rong station, both sta-
tions might be received simultaneously.Stereo reception re
quires a high quality
broadcast signal. This means that types ofdisturbances mentioned previously becomemore marked and the reception range issomewhat diminished during stereo recep-tion.

FM reception is affected by the electrical sys-tems of vehicles in the vicinity, especiallythose without an electr
onic noise suppression
device. The disturbance is even greater if thestation is weak or poorly tuned.FM reception is not as sensitive to electricaldisturbances as AM. AM
reception is sensi-
tive to electrical dist
urbances such as power
lines, lightning and ot
her types of similar
electrical phenomena.Causes of disturbances BK0249100US.book 16 ページ ２０１７年５月１０日　水曜日　午前８時４９分

If your vehicle breaks down on the road,move to the shoulder and turn on the hazardwarning flashers. If there is no shoulder, orthe shoulder is not safe, drive in the right laneslowly with the hazard
lights flashing, until
you come to a safe stopping place. Keep theflashers flashing.If the engine stops, there will be no powerassist to the steering and brakes, making thesedifficult to use.The brake booster will not work, so thebrakes will not grip well. The brake pedalwill be harder to press than usual.Since there is no power steering assist, thesteering wheel will be hard to turn.
Get help from your passengers, bystanders,etc. to push the vehicle
and move it to a safe
area.

If the engine cannot be started because thebattery is weak or de
ad, you can start it with
the battery from anothe
r vehicle using jumper
cables.1. Take off any metal jewelry such as watchbands or bracelets th
at might create an
accidental electrical contact.2. Position the vehi
cles close enough
together so that the jumper cables canreach, but be sure the vehicles aren’ttouching each other.
3. Set the parking brake firmly on your vehi-cle and move the selector lever into the“P” (PARK) position.4. Set the parking brake firmly on the othervehicle. Put the automatic transaxle in “P”5. Turn the ignition switch (the engineswitch) on each vehicle to the “LOCK” or“OFF” position.6. Make sure your battery electrolyte is atthe proper level. (Refer to “Battery” onpage 9-13.)

Jump-starting the engine
WA R N I N GTo reduce the risk of igniting flammablegas that may be emitted from the battery,carefully read this section before jump-starting the vehicle.Do not try to start you
r vehicle by pushing
or towing. This can cause an accidentresulting in serious
injury or death and
can damage the vehicle.NOTE
Do not use jumper cables if they have dam-age or corrosion.
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.NOTE
Turn off all lights, heat
er, and othe
r electrical
loads. This will avoid sparks and help saveboth batteries.

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 systemwarning light to blink on
and off. This is only
due to the low battery voltage. It is not aproblem with the brake system. If this hap-pens, fully charge the battery and ensure thecharging system is operating properly.
N00836501375
When the engine is overheating, the warningwill be displayed in th
e instrument cluster as
follows.The information screen in the multi infor-mation display will be interrupted and theengine coolant temp

6. When you do not see any more steam orspray, open the hood. Look for obviousleaks, such as a split radiator hose. Becareful as components will be hot. Anyleak source must be repaired.7. If there is no obvious leak source, checkthe coolant level in the engine coolantreserve tank. If there is
none, or if it is too
low, slowly add coolant.8. If the engine coolant reserve tank needscoolant, you will probably also need toadd coolant to the radiator. Do not loosenor remove the radiator cap until the enginehas cooled down.
9. Start the engine, a
nd slowly add coolant,
up to the bottom of the filler neck. Useplain water if you have to (and replace itwith the right coolant as soon as possible).
10. Replace the radiator cap and tighten it
fully. Check the engine coolant tempera-ture display on the mu
lti information dis-
play (Color liquid crystal display type) orthe high coolant temperature warninglight (Mono-color liqui
d crystal display
type). You can start driving again whenthe high coolant temperature warningdoes not come on.
11. Have the system inspected by your autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer or a repair
facility of your choice.
