If the vehicle breaks downE00800101108
If the vehicle breaks down on the road, move 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 5-55.
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:
l The brake booster becomes inoperative
and the pedal effort will increase. Press down the brake pedal harder than usual.
l Since the power steering system is no
longer operative, the steering wheel feels
heavy when turning it.
Emergency starting
E00800504161
If the engine cannot be started because thebattery is weak or dead, the battery from an-other vehicle can be used with jumper cables to start the engine.
WARNINGl To start the engine using jumper cables
connected to another vehicle, perform the
correct procedures according to the in- struction below. Incorrect procedures could result in a fire or explosion or dam-
age to the vehicles.CAUTIONl Do not attempt to start the engine by pulling
or pushing the vehicle.
It could damage your vehicle.
l Always wear protective eye goggles when
working near the battery.
l 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’t touching each other.
CAUTIONl Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-
volt battery.
If the other system isn’t 12-volt, shorting can
damage both vehicles.
2. Turn off all lamps, heater and other elec-
trical loads.
3. Set the parking brake firmly on each ve-
hicle. Put an A/T, CVT in “P” (PARK)
or a M/T in “N” (Neutral).
4. Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK”
position or put the operation mode in OFF.WARNINGl Perform 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 10-09.
WARNINGl 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 orif 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 to
the positive (+) terminal of the booster
battery (B).

If the vehicle breaks down

WARNINGlIf there is none, make sure that the engine
has cooled down before removing the ra-
diator cap (D), because hot steam or boil- ing water otherwise will gush from the filler port and may scald you.
6. Fill the reserve tank with coolant as nee-
ded. (Refer to the “Maintenance” sec- tion.)
CAUTIONl 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.7. 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.Tool and jack

14.Place the compressor (L) with its air
pressure gauge (M) on top.
Pull out the compressor’s power cord
(N), insert the plug on the cord into the accessory socket or cigarette lighter
socket (O), and then turn the ignition switch to “ACC” position or put the op-
eration mode in ACC. Refer to “Ciga-
rette lighter” on page 7-73 and “Acces-
sory socket” on page 7-74.
Turn ON the compressor switch (P) and
inflate the tyre to the specified pressure. (Refer to “Tyre inflation pressures” on
page 10-13.)CAUTIONl The supplied compressor is designed only
for inflation of passenger vehicle tyres.
l The compressor is designed to run on a vehi-
cle’s 12 V power supply. Do not connect itto any other power source.
l The compressor is not waterproof. If you use
it in rain, make sure water does not get on it.
l Any sand or dust sucked into the compressor
could make the compressor break down. Do not place the compressor directly on anysandy or dusty surface when using it.
l Do not disassemble or modify the compres-
sor. Also, do not subject the air pressure
gauge to shock. It could malfunction.
15. Check and adjust the tyre pressure with
reference to the air pressure gauge on the
compressor. If you overinflate the tyre, release air by loosening the hose’s end
fitting.
If there is a gap between the tyre and
wheel because the tyre has moved in-
ward from the wheel rim, press the pe- riphery of the tyre towards the wheel to
close the gap before running the com- pressor. (With no gaps, the tyre pressure
will rise.)
CAUTIONl Be careful not to get your fingers trapped be-
tween the tyre and wheel as the tyre inflates.CAUTIONl The surface of the compressor will get hot
while the compressor is running. Do not
keep the compressor running continuously for more than 10 minutes. After using the compressor, wait for the compressor to cool
before using it again.
l If the compressor becomes sluggish or hot
while operating, it is overheating. Immedi- ately place the switch in the OFF positionand let the compressor cool down for at least30 minutes.NOTEl If the tyre pressure does not rise to the speci-
fied level within 10 minutes, the tyre may be
so severely damaged that the tyre sealant
cannot be used to effect an emergency re- pair. Please contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point or an-
other specialist in this event.
16. Turn OFF the compressor switch, then
pull the power cord plug out of the sock- et.

rear wheels on the ground (Type B or Type C) as illustrated. This could result in drivingsystem damage or the vehicle may jump at
the carriage.
If you tow 4WD vehicles, use Type D or E
equipment.
l On 2WD vehicles, if the transmission is mal-
functioning or damaged, transport the vehi- cle with the driving wheels on a carriage (Type C, D or E) as illustrated.

To check and refill engine oil
Petrol-powered vehicles
1600 modelsMAX.MIN.1800, 2000 modelsMAX.MIN.Diesel-powered vehicles
The engine oil used has a significant effect on the engine’s performance, service life and
startability. Be sure to use oil of the recom- mended quality and appropriate viscosity.
All engines consume a certain amount of oil during normal operation. Therefore, it is im-portant to check the oil level at regular inter-
valk thes or before starting a long trip.
1. Park the car on a horizontal surface.
2. Switch off the engine.
3. Wait a few minutes.
4. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a
clean cloth.
5. Reinsert the dipstick as far as it goes.
6. Remove the dipstick and read the oil lev- el, which should always be within therange indicated.
7. If the oil level is below the specified
limit, remove the cap located on the cyl- inder head cover and add enough oil to
raise the level to within the specified
range. Do not overfill to avoid engine damage. Be sure to use the specified en-
gine oil and do not mix various types of
oil.
8. After adding oil, close the cap securely.
9. Confirm the oil level by repeating step 4
to 6.CAUTIONl In diesel-powered vehicles, when burning
away and removing soot accumulated in the
DPF, fuel can mix with the engine oil and an increase in the engine oil level may occur. This does not indicate an abnormality.
However, if the engine oil level is at or over the “X” mark (B) on the engine oil dipstick
(A), change the engine oil.

NOTElThe engine oil will deteriorate rapidly if the
vehicle is subjected to severe conditions, re-
quiring earlier oil replacement.
Please refer to the maintenance schedule.
l For information on how to dispose of used
engine oil, refer to page 2-06.Recommended engine oil vis-
cosity
Petrol-powered vehicles
l Select engine oil of the proper SAE vis-
cosity number according to the atmos- pheric temperature.
SAE 0W-20, 0W-30, 5W-30, and 5W-40 engine oils can only be used if they meet
ACEA A3/B3, A3/B4 or A5/B5 and API SM (or higher) specifications.
l Use engine oil conforming to the follow-
ing classification: • API classification: “For service SM”
or higher
• ILSAC certificated oil
• ACEA classification:
“For service A1/B1, A3/B3, A3/B4, or A5/B5”
NOTEl Use of additives is not recommended since
they may reduce the effectiveness of addi-
tives already included in the engine oil. It may result in failure of the mechanical as-
sembly.
Diesel-powered vehicles
