ERA-GLONASS*E00804800050
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.WARNINGl 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.
l 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.
l 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.
l In the following cases, directly arrange an
emergency vehicle or road service with a
cellular phone, etc.
• When the system does not operate by
failing because of collision, etc.WARNING• When the vehicle is in a place where ra-
dio waves cannot be transmitted and
received. (for example, indoor, a base- ment parking area, mountainous area,
inside a tunnel, etc.)
• When the line to the emergency call
centre is occupied and the call cannot
be connected to the emergency call cen- tre.NOTEl This system reports to the emergency call
centre, but does not directly arrange anemergency vehicle or pass to the road serv-
ice.
l This system helps to maken an emergency
call for a traffic accident or sudden illness,
but does not have a function to protect the occupants.Flow of the emergency call

normally.
1. After setting the ignition switch or the
operation mode to “ON”, the red lamp
(A) and the green lamp (B) illuminate
for approximately 10 seconds. When ap- proximately 10 seconds have elapsed af-
ter the lamps extinguish, the system is in the standby state.
WARNINGl If the red lamp and/or the green lamp do
not illuminate after setting the ignition switch or the operation mode to “ON”,
there is a possible failure in the system. Have the system inspected by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point immediately.
l If the red lamp remains illuminated or il-
luminates again after approximately 20 seconds has elapsed after setting the igni-
tion switch or the operation mode to “ON”, there is a possible failure in the
system or the battery for exclusive use of the ERA-GLONASS may be exhausted.The battery life is approximately 3 years.
Have the system inspected or the battery
replaced by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point immediately.

gle of the collision, the system may not op-erate.
[Manual Report]
When you open the cover (C) and press
the SOS switch (D).
WARNINGl Before pressing the SOS switch, stop the
vehicle in a safe place. If you operate it while driving, your attention to the sur- rounding circumstances becomes insuffi-
cient, enough to cause an unexpected acci- dent.CAUTIONl Do not open the cover except when you
press the SOS switch. You may press theSOS switch by mistake. In addition, if the
cover is opened while driving, the cover can cause injury in case of an emergency.NOTEl Do not press the SOS switch except in case

3 times.NOTEl If the buzzer does not sound, repeat the
process from Step 1.
6. Approximately 60 seconds later, the
green lamp blinks. If you press the SOS switch within 20 seconds, the mode
changes to the test mode.
NOTEl When the red lamp blinks instead of the
green lamp, move the vehicle in a safe place, with good visibility, where radio waves can
be transmitted and received, then repeat the process from Step 1.
7. Within approximately 20 seconds after
the mode has changed to the test mode,
press the SOS switch for one of the fol- lowing periods to select the desired test

port test to the emergency call centre is
started.
NOTEl If the red lamp illuminates for approximately
60 seconds, the vehicle is in a place where radio waves cannot be transmitted and re-ceived. Therefore you cannot report to the emergency call centre.
2. When the green lamp extinguishes, the
test mode is completed.
Test of the ERA-GLONASS
system equipment of the vehicle
1. After the buzzer sounds once, press the
SOS switch.
[Lamp Check]
When the buzzer sounds once and both the red and green lamp illuminate alter-nately, they are working normally.
2. When the lamps are normal, press the
SOS switch. When the lamps do not illu-
minate normally, wait for approximately
20 seconds.

they are working normally.
4. When the microphone is normal, press
the SOS switch. When it does not oper-
ate normally, wait for approximately 20
seconds.
5. If all check results are normal, the green
lamp illuminates (for approximately 5
seconds) and the buzzer sounds once.
WARNINGl If any of the check results are not normal,
the red lamp illuminates (for approxi- mately 5 seconds) and the buzzer sounds 3times. In this case, there is a possible fail-
ure in the system. Have the system inspec- ted by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point immediately.
6. When the green lamp extinguishes, the
test mode is completed.

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.WARNINGl To start the engine using jumper cables
connected from another vehicle, perform the correct procedures according to theinstruction below. Incorrect procedures
could result in a fire or explosion or dam- age to the vehicles.
l Keep sparks, cigarettes and flames away
from the battery because the battery may produce an explosion.CAUTIONl Do not attempt to start the engine by pulling
or pushing the vehicle.
It could damage your vehicle.
l Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-
volt battery.
If the other system isn’t 12-volt, shorting can
damage both vehicles.
l Use the proper cables suitable for the battery
size to prevent overheating of the cables.
l Check the jumper cables for damage and
corrosion before use.CAUTIONl 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.
2. Turn off all lamps, heater and other elec-
trical loads.
3. Set the parking brake firmly on each ve-
hicle. Put an automatic transmission in “P” (PARK) or a manual transmission in
“N” (Neutral). Stop the engine.
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.
4. Make sure battery electrolyte is at the
proper level.
Refer to “Battery” on page 10-10.
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 orif it is not filled to the proper level.
l 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
to the positive (+) terminal of the
booster battery (B).
Connect one end of the other jumper ca-
ble
to the negative ( −) terminal of the
booster battery (B), and the other end
to the engine block of the vehicle with
the discharged battery at the point far- thest from the battery.
