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.

The battery is weaker in cold temperatures. This has to do with its chemical and physical properties and is why a very cold battery, especially one with a low charge, will have ahard time starting your vehicle. It is recommended that you have your battery and charging system checked by an autho-rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair
facility of your choice before the start of cold weather. If necessary, have it charged. This will provide more reliable starting, and longer battery life. To disconnect the battery cable, stop the engine. Disconnect the negative (-) terminalfirst, then the positive (+) terminal. To recon-nect the battery, first connect the positive (+) terminal and then the negative (-) terminal, before starting the vehicle.
WA R N I N G If the battery is dead, be sure to check the battery electrolyte level before connecting booster cables. After checking the battery electrolyte level, make sure the caps are fitted securely. If any of the caps has a loose fit, replace the battery.
During cold weather
Disconnection and connection
NOTE
 Open the terminal cover (A) before discon- necting or connecting the positive (+) termi- nal of the battery.  Loosen the nut (B) and then disconnect the battery cable from the positive (+) terminal.
WA R N I N G Never disconnect the battery while the engine is running, or you could damage the vehicle’s electrical parts. Never short-circuit the battery. This could cause it to overheat and be damaged. Keep sparks, cigarettes, and flames away from the battery because the battery could explode. Electrolyte (battery acid) is made of corro- sive diluted sulfuric
acid. If it spills on
nearby parts, it can crack, stain, or dis-color them. And if it gets on your skin or in your eyes, it can cause burns or blind- ness. Please observe the following han-dling instructions:• If electrolyte gets on plastic parts orother nearby parts, wi
pe it off with a soft
cloth or chamois soaked in a solution of water and neutral detergent then imme-diately rinse the affected parts with plenty of water.• If electrolyte gets on your hands orclothes, rinse thoroughly with water. If electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush themwith water immediately and get immedi- ate medical attention.
 Open doors and windows in any closed space where you may be charging or working with the battery. Always wear protective clothing and gog- gles when working with the battery, or have a skilled automobile technician do it.
