This light comes on in the event of a malfunc- tion in the charging system or when the igni-tion switch is turned to the “ON” position (engine off) or the operation mode is put in ON. When the engine
is started, the light
should go out. Check to make sure that the light has gone out before driving.
N00520700170
This light comes on when the engine oil pres-sure is below normal. If the light stays on while driving, stop the
engine as soon as pos-
sible. Do not run the e
ngine until the cause of
the low oil pressure is corrected.
N00575700011
This light comes on in red if the coolant tem- perature becomes excessively high.
N00520901342
This light comes on when any door is open ornot completely closed. When the vehicle is moving at more than 5 mph (8 km/h) and any door is open or ajar, atone will sound 4 times to inform the driver that any door is not properly shut.
NOTE
Do not disconnect the ba
ttery cable when the
engine malfunction i
ndicator (“SERVICE
ENGINE SOON” or “Che
ck engine light”) is
on. The engine electronic
control module stores
critical OBD information (especially exhaustemission data), which ma
y be lost if the bat-
tery cable is disconne
cted while the engine
malfunction indicator is
on. This will make it
difficult to diagnose th
e cause of future prob-
lems.
Charging system warning light
CAUTION If the warning light stays on while the engine is running, park your ve
hicle in a safe place
as soon as possible and
contact an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer
or a repair facility
of your choice to have the system checked.
Oil pressure warning light
CAUTION If this light comes on when the engine oil level is not low, have
your vehicle checked at
an authorized Mitsubish
i Motors dealer or a
repair facility of your choice. This warning light does not show the amount of oil in the crankcase. This can only be determined by checking the oil level with the dipstick with the engine turned off.
High coolant temperature warning light - red
CAUTION If the light comes on
during vehicle opera-
tion, it indicates that
the engine is possibly
overheating. Continued driving could makethe engine fail. Immedi
ately stop the vehicle
in a safe place and ta
ke appropriate action.
(Refer to “Engine overh
eating” on page 8-4.)
NOTE
The high coolant temp
erature warning light
may illuminate when
the vehicle has been
driven at high speeds or on hilly roads. This illuminating does not ne
cessarily indicate a
problem. It should stop if you keep the engine running for a wh
ile or continue driv-
ing the vehicle.

Replace your tires before they are heavily worn out.On vehicles equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system, there
is a risk of damage
to the tire inflation pressure sensors when thetire is replaced on the
rim. Tire replacement
should, only be perform
ed by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer. Have someone watch while you turn all the exterior lights on and off. Also check the turn signal indicators and hi
gh-beam indicators on
the instrument panel. Check the ground under the vehicle after parking overnight, for
fuel, water, oil, or
other leaks. Make sure
all the fluid levels are
correct. Also, if you
can smell fuel, you need
to find out why imme
diately and have it
fixed.

Even this vehicle’s sa
fety equipment, and
your safest driving, ca
nnot guarantee that you
can avoid an accident or injury. However, if
you give extra attention to the following areas, you can better protect yourself andyour passengers: Drive defensively. Be aware of traffic, road and weather c
onditions. Leave plenty
of stopping distance
between your vehicle
and the vehicle ahead. Before changing lanes, check your mir- rors, your blind spots, and use your turn-signal light. While driving, watch the behavior of other drivers, bicycl
ists, and pedestrians.
Always obey applicab
le laws and regula-
tions. Be a polite and alert driver. Alwaysleave room for unexpected events, such as sudden braking. If you plan to drive in another country, obey their vehicle re
gistration laws and
make sure you will be able to get the right fuel.
N00629400474
Check the battery. At the same time, check the terminals and wiring. Duringextremely cold weather, the battery will not be as strong. Also, the battery power level may drop beca
use more power is
used for cold starting and driving.
Before driving the vehicle, check to see if the engine runs at the proper speed and ifthe headlights are as bright as normally. Charge or replace the battery if necessary. During extreme cold weather, it is possi-ble that a very low battery could freeze. Warm the engine sufficiently. After start- ing the engine, allow a short warm-up time to distribute oil to all cylinders. Then drive your vehicle slowly. Stay at low speeds at first so that the man- ual transaxle oil or the automatic transaxle fluid has time to spread to all the lubrica-tion points. Manual transaxle can be harder to shift in cold weather conditions. This is normaland shifting will get easier as the transaxle warms up. Check the engine antifreeze. If there is not enough coolant because of a leak or from engine overheating, add Mitsubishi Motors Genuine Super LongLife Coolant Premium or equivalent.

7. Install the wheel nuts with their tapered ends facing inward, then tighten by handuntil the wheel is no longer loose. 8. Lower the vehicle slowly until the tire touches the ground, by rotating the wheel nut wrench counterclockwise.
9. Tighten the nuts in the order shown in the illustration until each
nut has been tight-
ened to the torque listed here. 65 to 80 ft-lb (88 to 108 N•m)
10. Lower the jack all the way and remove it.
11. Check the tire inflation pressure. The rec-
ommended tire pressure for your vehicleis listed on the tire
and loading informa-
tion placard attached to the driver’s door sill as shown in the illustration. Refer to“Tire inflation pressures” on page 9-15.
CAUTION Never apply oil to either the wheel bolts or the nuts or they will tighten too much.
Steel wheel Aluminum wheel
CAUTION Never use your foot or a pipe extension to apply added force to the wheel nut wrench when tightening the wh
eel nuts. If you do so,
you can over-tighten the wheel nuts and damage the wheel, wheel nuts and hub bolts.
CAUTION Driving with an imprope
rly inflated tire can
cause an accident. If
you have no choice but
to drive with an under-inflated tire, keep your speed down and av
oid sudden steering
or braking, if possible. Inflate the tire to thecorrect pressure as soon as possible. Refer to “Tire inflation pressures” on page 9-15. After changing the tire
and driving the vehi-
cle about 620 miles (1,000 km), retighten the wheel nuts to make sure that they have notcome loose.

Mitsubishi Motors recommends using only engine oils with the ILSAC certification sym- bol on the front of the container. If you cannot find oils
with the ILSAC certi-
fication symbol, use an API classification SN or higher oil with the following label.
This mark appears on the top of the oil con- tainer and tells you two important thingsabout the oil. Use engine oil with the proper thickness for the outdoor temperatures where you will bedriving.
CAUTION Overfilling will cause oil aeration and loss of oil pressure, which coul
d damage the engine.
WA R N I N GUsed engine oil is po
isonous, and can dam-
age your skin. Prolonged and repeatedcontact may cause serious skin disorders, including dermatitis and cancer. Do not let used oil touch your sk
in and wash thor-
oughly after working with it. Keep used oil out of
the reach of children.
NOTE
Engine oil consumption
is greatly influenced
by payload, engine speed, etc.

The engine oil wi
ll deteriorate rapidly if the
vehicle is subj
ected to severe conditions (for
example, repeated operation on rough roads,in mountainous regions, on roads with many uphill and downhill gradients, or over short distances). Consequently
, the oil will require
earlier replacement in accordance with the schedule in the “WARRANTY AND MAIN- TENANCE MANUAL”.NOTE
ILSAC certification symbol
1- The upper part indicates the quality of
the oil.
2- The center part i
ndicates the SAE grade

Engine Oil is recommended for optimum fueleconomy and cold weather starting. If Mitsubishi Motors Genuine 0W-20 Syn- thetic Engine Oil is not available, 5W-20grade oils displaying th
e ILSAC certification
can be used. However, Mitsubishi Motors Genuine 0W-20Synthetic Engine Oil s
hould be used at the
next oil change to maintain optimum fuel economy and cold weather starting. The oil filter should be replaced at the time or mileage specified in the “WARRANTY ANDMAINTENANCE MANUAL”. Only use high quality
replacement filters on
this vehicle. The manufacturer’s specifica-tions for Genuine Mitsubishi oil filters
require that the filter can withstand a pressure of 256 psi (1.8 MPa). A Genuine Mitsubishioil filter is the best replacement filter. Follow the installation instructions printed on the filter.

The engine coolant reservoir (A) lets youquickly see when you need to add coolant.When the engine is cold
, the level of the cool-
ant in the reservoir should be between the “F”usually stays full so there is no reason to remove the radiator cap (B) except when you check the coolant freeze point or replace theantifreeze coolant.
Mitsubishi Motors Genuine Coolant provides excellent protection
against corrosion and
rust formation on all me
tals, including alumi-
num, and prevents clogs in some parts of theengine. If you need to add coolant often, or if the level in the reservoir does not drop when theengine cools, the c
ooling system should be
pressure-tested for leaks. Take your vehicle to an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or arepair facility of your
choice for testing.
