If the engine stops/fails
Vehicle operation and control are affected if the en-
gine 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 E00800501900
If the engine cannot be started because the battery
is weak or dead, the battery from another 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.
1. Get the vehicles close enough so the jumper
cables can reach, but be sure the vehicles
aren’t touching each other.
If they are, it could cause a ground connec-
tion you don’t want. The vehicle will not
start, and the bad grounding could damage
the electrical systems.
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. You could be injured if the vehicles move.
Set the parking brake firmly on each vehicle.
Put an automatic transmission in “P”
(PARK) or a manual transmission and an au-
tomated manual transmission in “N” (Neu-
tral). With an automated manual transmis-
sion vehicle, confirm that “N” is shown by
the allshift indicator display. Turn off the ig-
nition switch.WARNINGl Turn off the ignition on both vehicles be-
forehand. Make sure that the cables or
your clothes cannot be caught by the fan
or drive belt. Personal injury could result.
NOTE
l Turn off all lamps, heater and other electrical
loads. This will avoid sparks and help save
both batteries.
3. Make sure battery electrolyte is at the proper
level. Refer to “Battery” on page 8-10.
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
or if it is not filled to the proper level.

50 mph ” label from the bottle, that must be
displayed on the instrument panel within the
driver’s field of view.12. Insert the plug on the compressor’s power
cord (O) into the accessory socket (P), then
turn the ignition switch to the “ACC” or
“ON” position.
13. Turn ON the compressor switch (Q) and in-
flate the tyre to the specified pressure. Check
and adjust the tyre pressure with reference to
the air pressure gauge (R) on the compressor
(I). If you overinflate the tyre, release air by
pressing the pressure release switch (S) on
the compressor or by loosening the hose’s
end fitting. (Refer to “Tyre inflation pres-
sures” on page 8-12.)
CAUTIONl Do not keep the compressor running con-
tinuously for more than 6 minutes. Doing
so could result in a malfunction.
If the tyre pressure does not rise adequately,
remove the compressor from the tyre and care-
fully drive the vehicle 10 metres forwards or
backwards to distribute the tyre sealant
amount in the tyre’s interior, then try inflat-
ing the tyre again.
If there is a gap between the tyre and wheel
because the tyre has moved inward from the
wheel rim, press the periphery of the tyre to-
wards the wheel to close the gap before run-
ning the compressor. (With no gaps, the tyre
pressure will rise.)
CAUTIONl Be careful not to get your fingers trapped
between the tyre and wheel as the tyre in-
flates.
14. Turn OFF the compressor switch, then pull
the power cord plug out of the accessory sock-
et.
NOTE l The supplied compressor is designed only
for inflation of passenger vehicle tyres.

l A tyre in which puncture sealant has been
used should ideally be replaced with a new
one. If you wish to have such a tyre properly
repaired for reuse, please contact a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point or another specialist. Note that a proper
repair is impossible following an emergency
repair if the puncture hole cannot be located.
l Wipe away any sealant that gets on the
wheel. Provided the valve is replaced with a
new one, the wheel can be reused.
l The manufacturer is unable to guarantee that
all tyre punctures can be repaired with the
tyre repair kit, in particular cuts or perfora-
tions with a diameter of more than 4 mm or
away from the tyre’s tread. The manufacturer
is not liable for damage sustained through im-
proper use of the tyre repair kit.
l The manufacturer is not liable for damage sus-
tained through re-use of any tyre in which
tyre sealant has been used.

1. Park the vehicle on level and stable ground.
2. Set the parking brake firmly.
3. On vehicles with manual transmission, turn
the ignition key to the “LOCK” position,
move the gearshift lever to the “R” (Reverse)
position.
On vehicles with automated manual transmis-
sion, move the allshift lever to the “R” (Re-
verse) position, turn the ignition key to the
“LOCK” position.
With an automated manual transmission ve-
hicle, confirm that there is a “A” or “1” in
the allshift indicator display.
4. Turn on the hazard warning flashers and set
up a warning triangle, flashing signal lamp,
etc., at an adequate distance from the vehi-
cle, and have all your passengers leave the ve-
hicle.
5. To prevent the vehicle from rolling when it
is raised on the jack, place chocks or blocks
(A) at the tyre that is diagonally opposite
from the tyre (B) you are changing.WARNINGl Be sure to apply chocks or blocks to the
correct tyre when jacking up the vehicle.
If the vehicle moves while jacked up, the
jack could slip out of position, leading to
an accident.
NOTE
l The chocks shown in the illustration do not
come with your vehicle. It is recommended
that you keep one in the vehicle for use if nee-
ded.
l If chocks are not available, use stones or any
other objects that are large enough to hold
the wheel in position.
6. Place the jack under one of the jacking
points (C) shown in the illustration. Use the
jacking point closest to the tyre you wish to
change.
WARNINGl Set the jack only at the positions shown
here. If the jack is set at a wrong position,
it could dent your vehicle or the jack
might fall over and cause personal injury.
l Do not use the jack on a tilted or soft sur-
face.
Otherwise, the jack might slip and cause
personal injury. Always use the jack on a
flat, hard surface.
Before setting the jack, make sure there
are no sand or pebbles under the jack base.
7. Holding the jack in position by hand, turn
the handle until the flange portion (D) fits in
the groove (E) at the top of the jack.
8. Slowly turn the jack handle until the tyre is
raised slightly off the ground surface.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine WARNINGlStop jacking up the vehicle as soon as the
tyre is raised off the ground. It is danger-
ous to raise the vehicle any higher.
l Do not get under your vehicle while using
the jack.
l Do not bump the raised vehicle or leave it
sitting on the jack for a long time. Both
are very dangerous.
l Do not use a jack except the one that
came with your vehicle.
l The jack should not be used for any pur-
pose other than to change a tyre.
l No one should be in your vehicle when us-
ing the jack.
l Do not start or run the engine while your
vehicle is on the jack.
l Do not turn the raised wheel. The tyres
still on the ground could turn and make
your vehicle fall off the jack.Spare wheel* E00801101394
Check the air pressure of the spare tyre frequently
and make sure it is ready for emergency use at any
time.

Maintaining the spare wheel at the highest speci-
fied air pressure will ensure that it can always be
used under any conditions (city/high-speed driving,
varying load weight, etc.).
The spare wheel is stored beneath the luggage floor
board of the luggage compartment.
Compact spare wheel
The compact spare tyre is designed to save space in
the luggage compartment and its lighter weight
makes it easier to use if a flat tyre occurs.CAUTIONl The pressure should be periodically
checked and maintained at the specified
pressure while the tyre is stowed.
Driving with an insufficient tyre pressure
can lead to an accident. If you have no
choice but to drive with an insufficient
tyre pressure, keep your speed down and
inflate the tyre to the correct pressure as
soon as possible. (Refer to “Tyre inflation
pressures” on page 8-12.)
l The compact spare wheel is for tempora-
ry use only and should be removed as
soon as the original wheel can be re-
paired or replaced.
l The vehicle must not be driven at speeds
in excess of 80 km/h (50 mph) while using
the compact spare wheel.CAUTIONl The compact spare tyre is not as good as
a standard tyre in controllability and sta-
bility. When the compact spare tyre is
used, avoid quick starts, sudden braking
and sharp steering.
l Avoid driving through automatic vehicle
washers and over obstacles that could pos-
sibly damage the vehicle’s undercarriage.
Because the compact spare wheel is small-
er than the original wheel, the ground
clearance is slightly reduced.
l The compact spare wheel is specifically de-
signed for your vehicle and it should not
be used on any other vehicle.
l Do not use tyre chains with your compact
spare wheel. Because of the smaller tyre
size, a tyre chain will not fit properly.
This could cause damage to the wheel
and result in loss of the chain.
If a front tyre becomes flat when using
tyre chains, first replace a rear wheel
with the compact spare wheel and then
use the removed rear wheel to replace the
flat front wheel so that you can continue
to use the chains.
