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.

10. After the engine is
started, disconnect the
cables in the reverse order from the wayyou connected them.
WA R N I N GIf the electrolyte flui
d is not visible, or
looks frozen, DO NOT ATTEMPT JUMPSTARTING!!The battery might split open or explode ifthe temperature is below the freezingpoint or if it is not filled to the properlevel.
WA R N I N GMake sure that the jumper cables andyour clothing are clear of the cooling fansand drive belts. Entanglement with thefans or belts can ca
use serious personal
injury.NOTE
Open the terminal cover before connectingthe jumper cable to the positive terminal ofthe battery.(Refer to “Battery” on page 9-13.)Use the proper cables suitable for the batterysize.Otherwise heat damage
to the cables could
result.
WA R N I N GBe sure to follow the proper order whenconnecting the batteries, of:
Make sure that the connection is madeto the correct designated location (asshown in the illustration) properly. If theconnection is directly made to the negative(-) terminal of the battery, the flammablegases from inside the battery might catchfire and explode, caus

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
erature warning dis-
play will appear. Also “ ” will blink.(Color liquid crystal display type)lamp will illuminate.
(Mono-color liquid
crystal display type)
If these warnings are displayed:
1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place. Turn onthe hazard warning flashers.2. With the engine st
ill running, carefully
raise the engine hood to vent the enginecompartment.3. Check that the cooling fan is running. Ifthe fan is not turn
ing, stop the engine
immediately and cont
act an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facil-ity of your choice for assistance.4. If you see steam or spray coming fromunder the hood, turn off the engine.5. If you do not see steam or spray comingfrom under the hood, leave the engine onuntil the high coolant
temperature warn-
ing goes off. After the high coolant tem-perature warning has gone off, you canstart driving again. If the high coolanttemperature warning stays on, turn off theengine.
Charging the battery by using an external battery charger
WA R N I N GAlways remove the

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.

WA R N I N GBefore raising the en
gine hood, check to
see if there is steam or spray coming fromunder the hood. Steam or spray comingfrom an overheated en
gine could seriously
scald you.Do not open the hood until there is nosteam or spray.
WA R N I N GRemoving the radiat
or cap could scald
you with escaping hot water or steam.When checking the radiator level, coverthe cap with a cloth before trying toremove it. Turn it slowly counterclock-wise, without pressing down, to the firstnotch. The pressure in the system will thenbe let out. When the pressure is COM-PLETELY LET OUT, press down andkeep turning the cap counterclockwiseuntil it comes off.

The compact spare tire is stowed below theluggage compartment fl
oor. It is designed to
save space in the luggage compartment. Itslighter weight makes it easier to use if a flattire occurs.
WA R N I N GBe sure to apply choc
ks or blocks to the
correct tire when jacking up the vehicle. Ifthe vehicle moves while jacked up, thejack could slip out of
position, leading to
an accident.NOTE
The chocks shown in the illustration do notcome with your vehicl
e. It is recommended
that you purchase chocks or blocks and keepthem in the vehicle for use if needed.If chocks or blocks
are not available, use
stones or any other obj
ects that are large
enough to hold the wheel in position.
Spare tire information Compact spare tire
WA R N I N GTires, including spar
e tire, degrade over
time with age even when they are notbeing used. It is recommended that tiresover 6 years generally
be replaced even if
damage is not obvious.CAUTIONWhile the compact spare tire is stowed, theinflation pressure shoul
d be checked at least
once a month to assure that it remains at therecommended inflation pressure. See the tireand loading informati
on placard attached to
the driver’s door sill. Refer to “Tire and load-ing information placard” on page 11-3.
Driving with an imprope
rly inflated tire can
cause an accident. If
you have no choice but
to drive with an under-inflated tire, keepyour speed down and avoid sudden steeringor braking, if possible. Inflate the tire to thecorrect pressure as s
oon as possible. Refer to
“Tire inflation pressures” on page 9-19.The compact spare tire should be used onlytemporarily. While the compact spare tire isbeing used, the tire pr
essure monitoring sys-
tem will not function pr
operly. Have the tire
replaced or repaired at an authorized Mit-subishi Motors dealer or
a repair facility of
your choice as soon as possible.Do not go over 50 mph (80 km/h) when driv-ing with the compact spare tire.Avoid sudden starting and braking whendriving with the compact spare tire.Do not drive through automatic car washesand over obstacles that
could possibly dam-
age the underside of your vehicle. Becausethe compact spare tire is smaller than theoriginal tire, there is less clearance betweenthe ground and your vehicle.Because the compact spare tire is designedonly for your vehicle, do not use it on anyother vehicle.Do not put the compact spare tire on a differ-ent wheel, and do not put standard tires,snow tires, wheel covers
or trim rings on the
compact spare wheel. Otherwise, you coulddamage these parts or other parts on yourvehicle.CAUTION
