Check all the tires for heavy tread wear or uneven wear patterns.
Look for stones, nails,
glass, or other objects
stuck in the tread. Look
for any tread cuts or sidewall cracks. Check the wheel nuts for tightness, and the tires (including spare tire) for proper pressure.Replace your tires before they are heavily worn out. As your vehicle is equi
pped with a tire pres-
sure monitoring system, there is a risk of damage to the tire inflation pressure sensorswhen the tire is replaced on the rim. Tire replacement should, onl
y be performed by an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. Have someone watch while you turn all the exterior lights on and off. Also check the turnsignal indicators and hi
gh-beam indicators on
the instrument panel. Check the ground under the vehicle after parking overnight, for
fuel, water, oil, or
other leaks. Make sure
all the fluid levels are
correct. Also, if you
can smell fuel, you need
to find out why imme
diately and have it
fixed.

Even this vehicle’s safety equipment, andyour safest driving, cannot guarantee that youcan avoid an accident or injury. However, if you give extra attention to the following areas, you can better protect yourself and your passengers:  Drive defensively. Be aware of traffic, road and weather c
onditions. Leave plenty
of stopping distance
between your vehicle
and the vehicle ahead.  Before changing lanes, check your mir- rors, your blind spots, and use your turn- signal light.  While driving, watch the behavior of other drivers, bicycl
ists, and pedestrians.
 Always obey applicab
le laws and regula-
tions. Be a polite and alert driver. Alwaysleave room for unexpected events, such as sudden braking.  If you plan to drive in another country, obey their vehicle re
gistration laws and
make sure you will be able to get the right fuel.
N00629400474
 Check the battery. At the same time, check the terminals and wiring. During extremely cold weather, the battery willnot be as strong. Al
so, the battery power
level may drop because more power is used for cold starting and driving.Before driving the vehicle, check to see if the engine runs at the proper speed and if the 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-uptime to distribute oil to all cylinders. Then drive your vehicle slowly.  Stay at low speeds at first so that the man- ual transaxle oil or the automatic transaxle fluid has time to spread to all the lubrica- tion points.

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 seriousinjury or death. Always wear protecti
ve clothes and a face
mask when working wi
th your battery, or
let a skilled mechanic do it.

Vehicle normal load on the tire: load on an individual tire that is determined by distributing to each axle its share of the curb weight,accessory weight, and normal occupant weight and dividing by two.Maximum loaded vehicle weight: the sum of - (a) Curb weight;(b) Accessory weight; (c) Vehicle capacity weight; and (d) Production options weight.Curb weight: the weight of a motor vehicle with standard equipment including the maxi-mum capacity of fuel, oil, and coolant.
Accessory weight: the combined weight (in excess of those stan- dard items which may be replaced) of automatic transmis-sion, power steering, power brakes, power windows, power seats, radio, and heater, to theextent that these items are avail- able as factory- installed equip- ment (whether installed or not).Vehicle capacity weight: the rated cargo and luggage load plus 150 lbs (68 kg)
* times the vehicle’s
designated seating capacity.Production options weight: thecombined weight of thoseinstalled regular production options weighing over 5 lbs (2.3 kg) in excess of those standarditems which they
replace, not pre-
viously considered in curb weight or accessory weight, includingheavy duty brakes, ride levelers,roof rack, heavy duty battery, and special trim.
Normal occupant weight: 150 lbs (68 kg)

N00836300233
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 haza
rd 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.
N00860700117
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 OF
F. (For vehicles
with continuously variable transmission(CVT)) 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 Mitsubish
i Motors dealer.
N00836401837
If the engine cannot be started because the battery 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.
If the vehicle breaks down If the engine stops/fails When the engine fails at the intersection
If the operation mode can- not be changed to OFF (vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key) Jump-starting the engine
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.
It must have a 12-
volt battery. If the other system isn’t 12-volt,both systems can be damaged.

3. You could be injured if the vehicles move. Set the parking brake firmly on each vehi-cle. Put an automatic transaxle or CVT in “P” (PARK) or a manual transaxle in “N” (Neutral).4. Turn the ignition switch to the “OFF” position or put the operation mode in OFF. 5. Make sure your batt
ery electrolyte is at
the proper level. (Refer to “Battery” on page 9-11.) 6. 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).
7. 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 the battery. 8. 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. 9. After the engine is
started, disconnect the
cables in the reverse order from the wayyou connected them.
NOTE
 Turn off all lights, heat
er, and other electrical
loads. This will avoid sparks and help save both 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 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 fansand drive belts. Entanglement with the fans or belts can ca
use serious personal
injury.NOTE
 Open the terminal cover before connecting the jumper cable to the positive terminal ofthe battery. (Refer to “Battery:
Disconnection and con-
nection” on page 9-11.)  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 theconnection is directly made to the negative (-) terminal of the battery, the flammable gases from inside the battery might catchfire and explode, caus
ing 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.
