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

8. Connect one end of the other jumper cable
to the negative (-) terminal of thebooster battery (B), a
nd then connect the
other end to the designated groundlocation of the vehicl
e with the discharged
battery (A) at the point farthest from thebattery.9. Start the engine in the vehicle providingthe boost. Let the engine idle a few min-utes, then start the engine in the vehiclewith the discharged battery.
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
ing personal injury.
When connecting the jumper cable, do notconnect the positive (+) cable to the nega-tive (-) terminal. Sparks can make the bat-tery explode.

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.

Normally, the catalyti
c converter does not
require maintenance. However, it is importantto keep the engine properly tuned for the con-verter to continue to work properly.To reduce the possibili
ty of catalytic con-
verter damage:Use UNLEADED GASOLINE ONLY ofthe type of recommended in the “Fuelselection”.Do not drive with an extremely low fuellevel. Running out of gas could damagethe catalytic converter.
Do not try to start the engine by pushingor towing the vehicle. If the battery isweak or run down, use jumper cables toproperly start the engine.Do not idle the engine with any spark plugwires disconnected or removed, such aswhen performing
diagnosti
c tests.
Do not idle the engine
for a long time if it
is idling roughly or otherwise obviouslymalfunctioning.To prevent the catalytic converter frombeing damaged from unburned gas, do notrace the engine when turning off the igni-tion switch.Stop driving the vehicle if you think theperformance is noticeably low, or theengine has a malfunction such as with theignition, etc. If you are not able to stopdriving immediately,
slow down and drive
for only a short time. Have your vehiclechecked at an authorized MitsubishiMotors dealer or a repair facility of yourchoice as soon
as possible.
In unusual situations involving majorengine problems, a burning odor mayindicate severe and abnormal catalyticconverter 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 a
repair facility of your choice for service.

c converter can result
if your vehicle is not
kept in proper operating
condition. If the engine
malfunctions or mis-
fires, or if your vehi
cle 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 areaswhere combustible materials such as drygrass 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.
