it to the shoulder and turn on the hazard
warning flashers and set up a warning trian- gle, flashing lamp, etc.
Refer to “Hazard warning flasher switch” on page 5-56.
If the engine stops/fails
Vehicle operation and control are affected if the engine stops.
Before moving the vehicle to a safe area, be
aware of the following:
z The brake booster becomes inoperative
and the pedal effort will increase. Press
down the brake pedal harder than usual.
z Since the power steering system is no
longer operative, the steering wheel feels heavy when turning it.
If the operation mode
cannot be changed to OFF (vehicles equipped with the
keyless operation system)
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. (For vehicles with CVT)
2. One of the other causes could be low
battery voltage. If this occurs, the key-
less entry system, keyless operation function and steering lock will also notoperate.
Contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point.Emergency starting
If the engine cannot be started because the battery is weak or dead, the battery from an-other vehicle can be used with jumper cables
to start the engine.
:ARN,NGz To start the engine by using jumper cables
from another vehicle, perform the correct
procedures according to the instruction
below. Incorrect procedures could result in a fire or explosion or damage to the ve-
hicles.CAUT,ONz Do not attempt to start the engine by pulling
or pushing the vehicle.
It could damage your vehicle.
z Always wear protective eye goggles when
working near the battery.
z Keep the battery out of the reach of children.
1.
Get the vehicles close enough so the
jumper cables can reach, but be sure the vehicles aren

:ARN,NGzPerform step 4 on both vehicles before-
hand.
Make sure that the cables or your clothes
cannot be caught by the fan or drive belt.
Personal injury could result.
5. Make sure battery electrolyte is at the
proper level.
Refer to “Battery” on page 10-08.
:ARN,NGz If electrolyte fluid is not visible, or ap-
pears to be frozen, Do Not Attempt Jump Starting!
A battery might rupture or explode if the temperature is below the freezing point or
if it is not filled to the proper level.
6. Connect one end of one jumper cable to
the positive (+) terminal of the dis-charged battery (A), and the other end tothe positive (+) terminal of the booster
battery (B).

7. Connect one end of the other jumper ca-
ble to the negative (-) terminal of the
booster battery, and the other end to the engine block of the vehicle with the dis-
charged battery at the point farthest from the battery.
:ARN,NGz Make sure you observe the following or-
der when connecting the cables:
z Make sure you make connection to the
correct designated location (as shown in
the illustration). If the connection is made directly to the negative (-) side of the bat-
tery, flammable gases generated from the battery might catch fire and explode.
z When connecting the jumper cables, do
not allow the positive (+) cable and nega- tive (-) terminal to make contact. Other-wise sparks might cause explosion of the
battery.
CAUT,ONz Take care not to get the jumper cable caught
in the cooling fan or other rotating part in
the engine compartment.
z Use the proper cables suitable for the battery
size to prevent overheating of the cables.
z Check the jumper cables for damage and
corrosion before use.
8. Start the engine in the vehicle which has
the booster battery, let the engine idle a
few minutes, then start the engine in the vehicle with the discharged battery.
