ERA-GLONASS*
ERA-GLONASS is a system designed to re-
duce the severity of accidents. The location
and vehicle information is transmitted from the system to the emergency call centre in
case of an accident or sudden illness, and the
emergency call centre arranges for despatch
of emergency vehicles as required.:ARN,NGz In the country or area where there is no
available emergency call centre of theERA-GLONASS, or where the radio waveof the emergency call cannot be transmit-
ted or received normally, the system does not operate. In this case, directly arrange
an emergency vehicle or road service with
a cellular phone, etc.
z If an emergency occurs and you notice a
fuel smell or bad smell, do not stay inside the vehicle and escape to a safe place im-
mediately.
z While waiting for the rescue after the
emergency call, take action to prevent sec- ondary accidents such as a rear end colli-
sion with the following vehicle, and escape to a safe place.
z In the following cases, directly arrange an
emergency vehicle or road service with a
cellular phone, etc.

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 A/T)
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 Authorized 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 using jumper cables
connected from another vehicle, perform
the correct procedures according to the instruction below. Incorrect procedures
could result in a fire or explosion or dam-
age to the vehicles.
z Keep sparks, cigarettes and flames away
from the battery because the battery may produce an explosion.CAUT,ONz Do not attempt to start the engine by pulling
or pushing the vehicle.
It could damage your vehicle.
z Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-
volt battery.
If the other system isn’t 12-volt, shorting can damage both vehicles.
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.
z Always wear protective eye goggles when
working near the battery.
z Keep the battery out of the reach of children.
1.

: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.
z Electrolyte is corrosive diluted sulphuric
acid.
If electrolyte (battery acid) comes into
contact with your hands, eyes, clothes and the painted surface of your vehicle, it
should be thoroughly flushed with water.
If electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush them with water immediately and thoroughly,
and get prompt medical attention.5. Connect one end of one jumper cable
to the positive (+) terminal of the dis-
charged battery (A), and the other end

:ARN,NGz Be careful not to get your hands or clothes
caught in the cooling fan.4. Check the coolant level in the reserve
tank (B).
5. Add coolant to the radiator and/or re-
serve tank if necessary (refer to the
“Maintenance” section).
:ARN,NGz Make sure that the engine has cooled
down before removing the radiator cap
(C), because hot steam or boiling water otherwise will gush from the filler port
and may scald you.CAUT,ONz Do not add coolant while the engine is hot.
Suddenly adding cold coolant could damage the engine. Wait for the engine to cool down,
then add coolant a little at a time.6. Examine the radiator hoses for coolant
leakage and the drive belt for looseness
or damage.
If there is anything wrong with the cool-
ing system or drive belt, we recommend
you to have it checked and repaired.Bleeding the fuel system
The fuel system should be bled to remove air
as described below if the fuel supply is ex- hausted during travel.
Pump the hand pump (A) at the top of the fuel filter until the hand pump becomes stiff.
Then try again to start the engine.
If the engine does not start, repeat the process
