NOTE
 Do not use the wipers when the windshield is dry. This could scratch the glass and wear the wiper blades prematurely.  Before using the wipers in cold weather, check to be sure that the wiper blades are not frozen to the windshield or rear window. Using the wipers while the blades are frozencould cause the wiper motor to burn out.  If the moving wipers become blocked part- way through a sweep by ice or other deposits on the glass, the wipers may temporarily stop operating to prevent the motor from over-heating. In this case, park the vehicle in a safe place, turn the i
gnition switch to the
“OFF” position or put the operation mode inOFF, and then remove the ice or other depos- its. Because the wipers will start operating againafter the wiper motor cools down, check that the wipers operate before using them.  Avoid using the washer for more than 20 sec- onds at a time. Do not operate the washer when the washer fluid reservoir is empty orthe pump may fail.  During cold weather, add a recommended washer solution that will not freeze in the washer fluid reservoir. Otherwise the washer may not work or may be damaged.  Replace the wiper blades when they are worn. Use the proper size replacement blades. For further information, please con- tact your authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer.

Canadian radio-frequency laws require trans- mitter signals to “time-out” (or quit) after several seconds of transmission - which may not be long enough for HomeLink
® to pick
up the signal during programming. Similar tothis Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are designed to “time-out” in the same man- ner.The indicator LED on the hand-held transmit- ter will go off when the device times out indi- cating that it has finished transmitting.If you live in Canada
or you are having diffi-
culties programming a gate operator or garage door opener by using the “Program-ming” procedures, replace “Programming a new HomeLink
®” step 3 with the following:
3. Press and release - every 2 seconds (“cycle”) your hand-held transmitter until the HomeLink
® indicator light changes from
slowly flashing orange to either rapidly flash-ing green (rolling code) or continuously lit green (fixed code). Now you may release the hand-held transmitter button.Proceed with “Programming a new Home- Link
®” step 4 to complete.
N00584900022
The HomeLink
® has the capability of receiv-
ing garage door status from compatible garage door opener systems. Check your garage door opener manual for the available feature and HomeLink
® compatibility. Also
for a listing of compatible systems contact HomeLink
® at: www.homelink.com
1. Within 5 seconds after successfully pro- gramming the garage door opener (refer to “Programming a new HomeLink
®”
section), both garage door operation indi- cators (A) will flash rapidly green indicat- ing that the garage door feedback hasbeen enabled. If the indicators do not flash, perform steps 2 and 3 while pressing the Home- Link
® button up to the first 10 times after
successful programming. 2. Press and release the programmed Home- Link
® button to activate the door. You
now have 1 minute in which to complete step 3.

 Always obey applicable laws and regula- tions. Be a polite and alert driver. Always leave room for unexpected events, such as sudden braking. If you plan to drive in another country, obey their vehicle registration laws and make sure you will be able to get the rightfuel.
N00629400445
 Check the battery. At the same time, check the terminals and wiring. Duringextremely cold weather, the battery will not be as strong. Also, the battery power level may drop because more power isused for cold starting and driving. Before driving the vehicle, check to see if the engine runs at the proper speed and ifthe headlights are as bright as normally. Charge or replace the battery if necessary. During extreme cold weather, it is possi-ble that a very low battery could freeze.
 Warm the engine sufficiently. After start- ing the engine, allow a short warm-up time to distribute oil to all cylinders. Then drive your vehicle slowly.Stay at low speeds at first so that the transaxle, transfer case and rear axle oil have time to spread to all lubricationpoints.  Check the engine antifreeze. If there is not enough coolant because of aleak or from engine overheating, addMitsubishi Motors Genuine Super Long Life Coolant Premium or equivalent. Please read this section in conjunctionwith the “Engine coolant” on page 9-7.

All the parts of the brake system are criticalto safety. Have the vehicle serviced by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice at regular inter-vals according to the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”.
Check the brake system while driving at a low speed immediately after starting, espe-cially when the brakes are wet, to confirm they work normally. A film of water can be formed on the brakediscs and prevent normal braking after driv- ing in heavy rain or through large puddles, or after the vehicle is wash
ed. If this occurs, dry
the brakes out by driving slowly while lightlydepressing the brake pedal. On snowy roads, ice can form on the braking system, making the brakes less effective. While driving in such conditions, pay close attention to surrounding vehicles and to thecondition of the road surface. From time to time, lightly depress the brake pedal and check how effective the brakes are. It is important to take advantage of the engine braking by downshifting while driving onsteep downhill roads in order to prevent the brakes from overheating.
Driving during cold weather
WA R N I N G The battery gives off explosive hydrogen gas. Any spark or flame can cause the bat-tery to explode, which could cause serious injury or death. Always wear protective clothes and a facemask when working with your battery, or let a skilled mechanic do it.
WA R N I N G Never open the radiator cap when the radiator is hot. You could be seriously burned.
