Cargo loads Cargo load precautions
WA R N I N G To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, the combined weights of the driver, passengers and cargo and must never exceed the vehicle capacity weight. Exceeding the vehicle capacity weight will adversely affect vehicle performance, including handling and braking, and maycause an accident. Do not load cargo or luggage higher than the top of the seatback. Be sure that your cargo or luggage cannot move when your vehicle is in motion.Having either the rear view blocked, or your cargo being thrown inside the cabin if you suddenly have to brake can cause aserious accident or injury or death. Put cargo or luggage in the cargo area of your vehicle. Try to spread the weight evenly.
Trailer towing
WA R N I N G Do not use this vehicle for trailer towing. It may not be possible to maintain controlor adequate braking.

FM signals do not follow the earth surface nor are they reflected by the upper atmo- sphere. For this reason, FM broadcasts cannotbe received over long distances. AM signals follow the earth’s surface and are reflected by the upper atmosphere. For this reason, AMbroadcasts can be received over longer dis- tances. Because of the limited
range of FM signals
and the way FM waves transmit, you mayexperience weak or fading FM reception. When the broadcast is blocked by mountains or similar obstructions, reception can be dis-turbed.
The reason why one can hear FM but not AM in parking garages, under bridges etc., is that FM signals, unlike AM signals, are reflectedby solid objects such as buildings, etc. Because FM signals are easily reflected by buildings, this can also cause reception dis-turbances. The direct signal from the broadcast station reaches the antenna slightly before thereflected signal. This time difference maycause some reception disturbance or flutter. This problem occurs primarily in urban areas.
If one listens to a weak station and is in the vicinity of another strong station, both sta- tions might be received simultaneously. Stereo reception requires a high quality broadcast signal. This means that types of disturbances mentioned previously become more marked and the reception range issomewhat diminished during stereo recep- tion. FM reception is affected by the electrical sys- tems of vehicles in the vicinity, especially those without an electronic noise suppression

If your vehicle breaks down on the road, move to the shoulder and turn on the hazardwarning flashers. If there is no shoulder, or the shoulder is not safe, drive in the right lane slowly, with the hazard lights flashing, untilyou come to a safe stopping place. Keep the flashers flashing. If the engine stops, there will be no power assist to the steering and brakes, making these difficult to use. The brake booster will not work, so the brakes will not grip well. The brake pedalwill be harder to press than usual. Since there is no power steering assist, the steering wheel will be hard to turn.
Get help from your passengers, bystanders, etc. to push the vehicl
e and move it to a safe
zone.

If the engine cannot be started because the battery is weak or dead, you can start it withthe battery from another vehicle using jumper cables.
1. Take off any metal jewelry such as watch bands or bracelets that might make an accidental electrical contact. 2. Position the vehicles close enoughtogether so that the jumper cables can reach, but be sure the vehicles aren’t touching each other. 3. You could be injured if the vehicles move. Set the parking brake firmly on each vehi- cle. Put an automatic transaxle, Twin Clutch SST or CVT in “P” (PARK) or amanual transaxle in “N” (Neutral). Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” posi- tion.

Jump-starting the engine
WA R N I N G Follow the procedure described in this sec- tion when using the jump cable to start the engine. Failure to follow these instructions can cause serious injury or death.CAUTION Do not try to start your vehicle by pushing or towing. Vehicles with Twin Clutch SST can- not be started this way. Pushing or towing avehicle that has a manual transaxle may overheat and damage the catalytic converter. Also, there is more ri
sk of an accident when
a vehicle is being pushed or towed.NOTE
Although the battery in your vehicle is located in the trunk (refer to page 9-11), use the joint terminal in the engine compartment to jump start the engine.
CAUTION Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12- volt battery. If the other system isn’t 12-volt, both systems can be damaged.WA R N I N G Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” position on both vehicles. Make sure that the cables or your clothes cannot be caught by the fan or drive belt. Personalinjury could result. NOTE
Turn off all lights, heater, and other electrical loads. This will avoid sparks and help saveboth batteries.

Use the proper cables suitable for the battery size. Otherwise heat damage to the cables could result. Check the jumper cables for damage and cor- rosion before use.WA R N I N G Be sure to follow the proper order when connecting the batteries, of:
.
Make sure that the connection is made to the engine properly. If the connection isdirectly made to the negative side of the battery, the flammable gases from inside the battery might catch fire and explode,causing personal injury. When connecting the jumper cable, do not connect the positive (+) cable to the nega- tive (-) terminal. Otherwise sparks can make the battery explode.CAUTION Make sure that the jumper cable will not be caught in the cooling fans or other movingparts in the engine compartment.NOTE
WA R N I N G Be sure to have an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer charge the battery. Do not charge the battery yourself. Flammable gases may leak from the bat-tery and explode. Electrolyte (battery acid) is corrosive diluted sulfuric acid. If electrolyte comes in contact with your hands, eyes, clothes, or the painted surface of your vehicle,thoroughly flush with water. If electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush them immediately and thoroughly with water, and getprompt medical attention. Always wear protective clothing and gog- gles when working near the battery. Keep the battery out of the reach of chil- dren. Never remove the battery label, upper cover, exhaust tube, or pipe. Flammable gases may leak and explode.

If you drive your vehicle with a low battery charge, after the engine has been started byusing jumper cables, the engine may misfire. This can cause the anti-lock braking system warning light to blink on and off. This is onlydue to the low battery voltage. It is not a problem with the brake system. If this hap- pens, fully charge the battery and ensure thecharging system is operating properly.
N00836500033
When the engine is overheating, the informa-tion screen in the multi-information display will be interrupted and the engine coolant temperature warning display will appear. Also “ ” will blink. If this happens:
1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place. Turn on the hazard warning flashers. 2. With the engine still running, carefully raise the engine hood to vent the enginecompartment. 3. Check that the cooling fans is running. If the fan is not turning, stop the engineimmediately and contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facil- ity of your choice for assistance. 4. If you see steam or spray coming from under the hood, turn off the engine.5. If you do not see steam or spray coming from under the hood, leave the engine on until the bar graph for the engine coolanttemperature warning display on the multi- information display goes down. When it is in the middle of the normal zone, youcan start driving again. If the bar graph stays in the red zone, turn off the engine.
6. When you do not see any more steam or spray, open the hood. Look for obvious leaks, such as a split radiator hose. Be careful as components will be hot. Anyleak source must be repaired. 7. If there is no obvious leak source, check the coolant level in the reserve tank. Ifthere is none, or if it is too low, slowly add coolant. 8. If the reserve tank needs coolant, you willprobably also need to add coolant to the radiator. Do not loosen or remove the radiator cap until the engine has cooleddown.
This vehicle is equipped with a mainte- nance-free battery located in the trunk. To assure proper battery installation and venting of flammable gases, the battery must be serviced and/or replaced by anauthorized Mitsubishi dealer only.
As your vehicle has anti-lock brakes Engine overheating
