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 AM in parking garages, under bridges etc., is thatFM 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 stationreaches the antenna slightly before the reflected signal. This time difference may cause some reception disturbance or flutter.This problem occurs primarily in urban areas.
If one listens to a weak station and is in the vicinity of another strong station, both sta- tions might be received simultaneously.
Stereo reception requires a high quality broadcast signal. This means that types ofdisturbances mentioned previously become more marked and the reception range is somewhat diminished during stereo recep-tion.

FM reception is affected by the electrical sys- tems of vehicles in the vicinity, especially those without an electronic noise suppressiondevice. The disturbance is even greater if the station is weak or poorly tuned. FM reception is not as sensitive to electricaldisturbances as AM. AM reception is sensi- tive to electrical disturbances such as power lines, lightning and other types of similarelectrical phenomena.Causes of disturbances

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

If the operation mode cannot be changed to OFF, perform the following procedure. 1. Move the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position, and then change theoperation mode to OFF. 2. One of the other causes could be low bat- tery voltage. If this occurs, the keylessentry system and the F.A.S.T.-key opera- tion will also not operate. Contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or arepair facility of your choice.

If the engine cannot be started because thebattery is weak or dead, you can start it with the battery from another vehicle using jumper cables.
1. Take off any metal jewelry such as watch bands or bracelets that might create anaccidental electrical contact. 2. Position the vehicles close enough together so that the jumper cables canreach, but be sure the vehicles aren’t touching each other. 3. Set the parking brake firmly on your vehi- cle and move the selector lever into the “P” (PARK) position.

WA R N I N G To reduce the risk of igniting flammable gas that may be emitted from the battery, carefully read this section before jump- starting the vehicle. Do not try to start your vehicle by pushing or towing. This can cause an accident resulting in serious injury or death andcan 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.

4. Set the parking brake firmly on the other vehicle. Put the automatic transaxle in “P” (PARK) or the manual transaxle in “N” (Neutral).5. Turn the ignition switch (the engine switch) on each vehicle to the “LOCK” or “OFF” position. 6. Make sure your battery electrolyte is at the proper level. (Refer to “Battery” on page 9-10.) 7. Connect one end of one jumper cable to the positive (+) terminal of the dis- charged battery (A), and then connect the other end to the positive (+) terminal of the booster battery (B).
8. Connect one end of the other jumper cable
to the negative (-) terminal of the booster battery (B), and then connect the other end to the designated ground location of the vehicle with the discharged battery (A) at the point farthest from thebattery. 9. Start the engine in the vehicle providing the boost. Let the engine idle a few min- utes, then start the engine in the vehicle with the discharged battery.
10. After the engine is started, disconnect the
cables in the reverse order from the way you connected them.
NOTE
Turn off all lights, heater, and other electrical loads. This will avoid sparks and help save both batteries.WA R N I N G If the electrolyte fluid is not visible, or looks frozen, DO NOT ATTEMPT JUMP STARTING!! The battery might split open or explode ifthe temperature is below the freezing point or if it is not filled to the proper level.
WA R N I N G Make sure that the jumper cables and your clothing are clear of the cooling fans and drive belts. Entanglement with the fans or belts can cause serious personalinjury.NOTE
Open the terminal cover before connecting the jumper cable to the positive terminal ofthe battery. (Refer to “Battery” on page 9-10.) Use the proper cables suitable for the battery size. Otherwise heat damage to the cables couldresult.
WA R N I N G Be sure to follow the proper order when connecting the batteries, of:
Make sure that the connection is made to the correct designated location (as shown in the illustration) properly. If the connection is directly made to the negative(-) terminal of the battery, the flammable gases from inside the battery might catch fire and explode, causing personal injury. When connecting the jumper cable, do not connect the positive (+) cable to the nega-tive (-) terminal. Sparks can make the bat- tery explode.

If you drive your vehicle with a low battery charge after the engine has been started by using jumper cables, the 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 a problem with the brake system. If this hap-pens, fully charge the battery and ensure thecharging system is operating properly.
N00836501421
When the engine is overheating, the informa-tion screen in the multi-information display will be interrupted and the engine coolant temperature warning display will appear. Also “ ” will blink. If these warnings are displayed: 1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place. Turn on the hazard warning flashers.2. With the engine still running, carefully raise the engine hood to vent the engine compartment.
3. Check that the cooling fan is running. If the fan is not turning, stop the engine immediately and contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facil-ity of your choice for assistance. 4. If you see steam or spray coming from under the hood, turn off the engine. 5. If you do not see steam or spray comingfrom under the hood, leave the engine on until the high coolant temperature warn- ing goes off. After the high coolant tem-perature warning has gone off, you can start driving again. If the high coolant temperature warning stays on, turn off theengine.
Charging the battery by using an external battery charger
WA R N I N G Always remove the battery from your vehicle when the battery is charged by anexternal battery charger. Keep sparks, cigarettes, and flames away from the battery because the battery could explode. Keep your work area well vented when charging or using the battery in an enclosed space. Remove all the caps before charging the battery. Electrolyte (battery acid) is made of corro- sive diluted sulfuric acid. If electrolytecomes in contact with your hands, eyes, clothes, or the painted surface of your vehicle, thoroughly flush with water. Ifelectrolyte gets in your eyes, flush them immediately and thoroughly with water, and get prompt medical attention. Always wear protective clothing and gog- gles when working near the battery. Keep the battery out of the reach of chil- dren.
As your vehicle has anti-lock brakes Engine overheating
WA R N I N G To avoid personal injury, keep hands, hair, jewelry and clothes away from the coolingfan. The cooling fan can start at any time.WA R N I N G Before raising the engine hood, check to see if there is steam or spray coming from under the hood. Steam or spray coming from an overheated engine could seriously scald you.Do not open the hood until there is no steam or spray.

6. When you do not see any more steam or spray, open the hood. Look for obvious leaks, such as a split radiator hose. Be careful as components will be hot. Anyleak source must be repaired. 7. If there is no obvious leak source, check the 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 loosen or remove the radiator cap until the engine has cooled down. 9. Start the engine, and slowly add coolant, up to the bottom of the filler neck. Useplain water if you have to (and replace it with 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 multi-information dis- play. You can start driving again when thehigh coolant temperature warning does not come on.
11. Have the system inspected by your autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.

The tools and jack are stored under the lug- gage floor board of the luggage compartment.
1. Lift up the luggage floor board. Refer to “Luggage floor board” on page 5-221. 2. Retract the jack and remove it from its installation fitting (A).
WA R N I N G Removing the radiator cap could scald you with escaping hot water or steam.When checking the radiator level, cover the cap with a cloth before trying to remove it. Turn it slowly counterclock-wise, without pressing down, to the first notch. The pressure in the system will then be let out. When the pressure is COM-PLETELY LET OUT, press down and keep turning the cap counterclockwise until it comes off.
