The vehicle battery is installed in the trunk behind a panel.
The condition of the battery is very important for quick starting
and to keep the vehicle’s electrical system working properly.
Be sure to have an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer check
the battery.
During cold weatherThe battery is weaker in cold temperatures. This has to do with
its chemical and physical properties and is why a very cold bat-
tery, especially one with a low charge, will have a hard time
starting your vehicle.
It is recommended that you have your battery and charging sys-
tem checked by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer before
the start of cold weather. If necessary, have it replaced.Disconnection and connectionTo disconnect the battery cable, stop the engine. Disconnect the
negative (-) terminal first, then the positive (+) terminal. To
reconnect the battery, first connect the positive (+) terminal and
then the negative (-) terminal, before starting the vehicle.

leak and explode.
WA R N I N G

ning, or you could damage the vehicle’s electrical
parts.

to overheat and be damaged.
Keep sparks, cigarettes, and flames away from the
