If your vehicle breaks down on the road, move to the shoulder and turn on the hazard warning flashers. If there is no shoulder, orthe shoulder is not safe, drive in the right lane slowly with the hazard
lights flashing, until
you come to a safe stopping place. Keep theflashers 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 pedal will 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 vehicle
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 the operation mode to OFF. 2. One of the other causes could be low bat-tery voltage. If this occurs, the keyless entry system, keyless operation function, and steering wheel lock
will also not oper-
ate. Contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.

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 watch bands or bracelets th
at might create an
accidental electrical contact. 2. Position the vehicles close enoughtogether so that the jumper cables can reach, 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 emi
tted 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 accident resulting 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.

8. Connect one end of the other jumper cable
to the negative (-) terminal of the booster battery (B), a
nd then connect the
other end to the designated ground location of the vehicl
e with the discharged
battery (A) at the point farthest from thebattery.
NOTE
 Turn off all lights, heat
er, and other electrical
loads. This will avoid sparks and help saveboth batteries.WA R N I N G If the electrolyte flui
d is not visible, or
looks frozen, DO NOT ATTEMPT JUMP STARTING!!The battery might split open or explode if the temperature is below the freezing point or if it is not filled to the properlevel.
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 ca
use serious personal
injury.
NOTE
 Open the terminal co
ver before connecting
the jumper cable to the positive terminal ofthe battery.(Refer to “Battery” on page 9-14.)  Use the proper cables suitable for the battery size. Otherwise heat damage
to the cables could
result.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, caus
ing personal injury.

9. Start the engine in the vehicle providing the 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.
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 system warning 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.

When the engine is ove
rheating, the warning
will be displayed in the instrument cluster as follows.  The information screen in the multi infor- mation display will be interrupted and the engine coolant temp
erature warning dis-
play will appear. Al
so “ ” will blink.
(Color liquid crystal display type)  The high coolant temperature warning lamp will illuminate
. (Mono-color liquid
crystal display type)
If these warnings are displayed: 1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place. Turn on the hazard warning flashers.2. With the engine st
ill running, carefully
raise the engine hood to vent the engine compartment.3. Check that the cooling fan is running. If the 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.
 When connecting the jumper cable, do not connect the positive (+) cable to the nega-tive (-) terminal. Sparks can make the bat-tery explode.

destroy the emission-c
ontrol effectiveness of
the converter. Normally, the catalyti
c converter does not
require maintenance. However, it is important to 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 of the type of recommended in the “Fuelselection”.
 Do not drive with an extremely low fuel level. Running out of gas could damagethe catalytic converter.  Do not try to start the engine by pushing or towing the vehicle. If the battery isweak or run down, use jumper cables to properly start the engine.  Do not idle the engine with any spark plug wires disconnected or removed, such as when performing
diagnosti
c tests.
 Do not idle the engine
for a long time if it
is idling roughly or otherwise obviously malfunctioning. To prevent the catalytic converter from being damaged from unburned gas, do not race the engine when turning off the igni-tion switch.  Stop driving the vehicle if you think the performance is noticeably low, or theengine has a malfunction such as with the ignition, etc. If you are not able to stop driving immediately,
slow down and drive
for only a short time. Have your vehicle checked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of yourchoice as soon
as possible.
 In unusual situations involving major engine problems, a burning odor mayindicate severe a
nd abnormal catalytic
converter overheating. If this occurs, stop in a safe place, shut
the engine off and let
the vehicle cool. Once the engine is cool, immediately take your vehicle to an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or arepair facility of your
choice for service.

Use the engine hood release lever (located under the instrument panel near the driver’s door) to unlock the engine hood. Pull the lever toward you to release the engine hood latch.
CAUTION Damage to the catalyti
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 your vehicle 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 areas where combustible materials such as dry grass 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.
