!Be sure to follow the proper order when connecting
the batteries, of: →→→Make sure that the connection is made to the cor-
rect designated location (as shown in the illustra-
tion) properly. If the connection is directly made to
the negative (-) terminal of the battery, the flamma-
ble 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 negative (-) terminal.
Sparks can make the battery explode.
WA R N I N G
!Always remove the battery from your vehicle when
the battery is charged by an external battery
charger.Keep sparks, cigarettes, and flames away from the
battery because the battery could explode.Keep your work area well vented when charging or

As your vehicle has anti-lock brakesIf you drive your vehicle with a low battery charge after the
engine has been started by using jumper cables, the engine may
misfire. This can cause the anti-lock braking system warning
light to blink on and off. This is only due to the low battery
voltage. It is not a problem with the brake system. If this hap-
pens, fully charge the battery and ensure the charging system is
operating properly.
Engine overheating
N00836500365
If the high coolant temperature warning light illuminates dur-
ing the engine is running, the engine may be overheating. If
this happens:
1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place. Turn on the hazard warn-
ing flashers.
2. With the engine still running, carefully raise the engine
hood to vent the engine compartment.
3. Check that the cooling fan is running. If the fan is not
turning, stop the engine immediately and contact an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of
your choice for assistance.
4. If you see steam or spray coming from under the hood,
turn off the engine.

7 Battery
N00939100943
The condition of the battery is very important for quick starting
and to keep the vehicle’s electrical system working properly.
Check the battery regularly.Checking battery electrolyte level
N00901500072
The electrolyte level must be between the limits shown on the
outside of the battery. Fill it with distilled water as needed. The
inside of the battery is divided into several compartments. Take
the cap off of each compartment and fill to the mark.
Do not fill above the top line because a spill during driving
could cause damage.
During cold weather
N00901600060
The 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 or a
repair facility of your choice before the start of cold weather. If
necessary, have it charged. This will provide more reliable
starting, and longer battery life.
WA R N I N G
!If the battery goes flat, be sure to check the battery
electrolyte level before connecting booster cables.After checking the battery electrolyte level, make
sure the caps are fitted securely.If any of the caps has a loose fit, replace the battery.

from the positive (+) terminal.
WA R N I N G
!Never disconnect the battery while the engine is run-
ning, or you could damage the vehicle’s electrical
parts.Never short-circuit the battery. This could cause it
to overheat and be damaged.Keep sparks, cigarettes, and flames away from the
battery because the battery could explode.Electrolyte (battery acid) is made of corrosive
diluted sulfuric acid. If it spills on nearby parts, it
can crack, stain, or discolor them. And if it gets on
your skin or in your eyes, it can cause burns or
blindness. Please observe the following handling
instructions:
• If electrolyte gets on plastic parts or other nearby
parts, wipe it off with a soft cloth or chamois
soaked in a solution of water and neutral detergent
then immediately rinse the affected parts with
plenty of water.
• If electrolyte gets on your hands or clothes, rinse
thoroughly with water. If electrolyte gets in your
eyes, flush them with water immediately and get
immediate medical attention.
Open doors and windows in any closed space where
you may be charging or working with the battery.Always wear protective clothing and goggles when
working with the battery, or have a skilled automo-
bile technician do it.If you are quick-charging your battery, first discon-
nect the battery cables.
