1. Park the vehicle in the shade whenever possible. Parking in the hot sun makes the vehicle interior extremely hot which then requires more time to cool. If it is neces-sary to park in the sun, open the windows for the first few minutes of air condition- ing to expel the hot air.2. Afterwards, keep the windows closed when the air conditioning is in use. The entry of outside air through open windowswill reduce cooling efficiency.
3. When running the air conditioning, make sure the air intake, which is located infront of the windshield, is free of obstruc- tions such as leaves. Leaves collected in the air-intake chamber may reduce airflow and plug the water drains.
If the air conditioning seems less effective than usual, the cause might be a refrigerant leak. Have the system inspected by your authorizedMitsubishi Motors dealer
or a repair facility
of your choice.
NOTE
 While the mode selection is set “ ” posi- tion, the air conditioning
compressor will run
automatically. The out
side air position will
also be selected automatically.
 If the mode selection is set “ ” position, you cannot turn the air conditioning off orselect the recirculati
on position. This pre-
vents the windows from fogging up.  To defog quickly, direct the air flow from the side vents toward the door windows.  When defrosting, do not set the temperature to the maximum cool position. This will blow cool air on the window glass and fog it up.

The air conditioning should be operated for at least five minutes each week, even in cold weather. This includes the quick defrostingmode. Operating the
air condition system
weekly maintains lubrication of the compres- sor internal parts to keep the air conditioningin the best operating condition.

The air conditioning system is equipped withan air filter to re
move pollen
and dust.
The air filter’s ability to collect pollen and dirt is reduced as it be
comes dirty, so replace
it periodically. For the maintenance interval,refer to the “WARRANTY AND MAINTE- NANCE MANUAL”.

Turn the pole (A) counterclockwise. Screw the pole (A) clockwise into the base (B) until it is securely retained.
CAUTION The air conditioning system in your vehicle must be charged with the refrigerant HFC-134a and the lubricant ZXL 200PG.Use of any other refrigerant or lubricant will cause severe damage a
nd may require replac-
ing your vehicle’s en
tire air conditioning
system. The release of refrigerant into the atmo- sphere is not recommended.The new refrigerant HFC-134a in your vehi- cle is designed not to harm the earth’s ozone layer. However, it may contribute slightly toglobal warming. It is recommended that the old refrigerant be saved and recycled for future use.

NOTE
 Operation in certain conditions such as driv- ing on a dusty road and frequent use of the air conditioning ca
n lead to reduction of ser-
vice life of the filter. When you feel that the air flow is lower than normal or when the windshield or windows st
art to fog up easily,
replace the air filter. Contact your Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a
repair facility of your
choice for assistance.

Your vehicle’s radio receives both AM and FM stations. The quality of your reception is affected bydistance, obstacles, an
d signal interference.
This radio complies with Part 15 of Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules (for vehicles sold in U.S.A.). Operation issubject to the following conditions:  The device may not cause harmful inter- ference.  This device must ac
cept any interference
recieved, including interference that may cause undesirable operation.
FM signals do not follow the earth surface nor are they reflected by the upper atmo- sphere. For this reason,
FM broadcasts cannot
be received over long distances. AM signalsfollow the earth’s surface and are reflected by the upper atmosphere. For this reason, AM broadcasts can be received over longer dis-tances. Because of the limited
range of FM signals
and the way FM waves transmit, you may experience 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, unde
r bridges etc., is that
FM signals, unlike AM
signals, are reflected
by 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 the reflected signal. This
time difference may
cause some reception di
sturbance or flutter.
This problem occurs primarily in urban areas.
• When driving into a structure that has a low ceiling

If one listens to a weak station and is in the vicinity of another st
rong station, both sta-
tions might be received simultaneously. Stereo reception re
quires a high quality
broadcast signal. This means that types ofdisturbances mentioned previously become more marked and the reception range is somewhat diminished during stereo recep-tion.
FM reception is affected by the electrical sys- tems of vehicles in the vicinity, especially those without an electr
onic noise suppression
device. The disturbance is even greater if thestation is weak or poorly tuned. FM reception is not as sensitive to electrical disturbances as AM. AM
reception is sensi-
tive to electrical dist
urbances such as power
lines, lightning and ot
her types of similar
electrical phenomena.

If your vehicle breaks down on the road, move to the shoulder and turn on the hazard warning flashers. If there is no shoulder, orthe shoulder is not safe, drive in the right lane slowly with the haza
rd lights flashing until
you come to a safe stopping place. Keep theflashers 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 pedal will 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 vehicle
and move it to a safe
area.

If the operation mode
cannot be changed to
OFF, perform the following procedure. 1. Move the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position, and then change the operation mode to OF
F. (For vehicles
with CVT)2. One of the other causes could be low bat- tery voltage. If this occurs, the keyless entry system and the F.A.S.T.-key opera-tion will also not operate. Contact an authorized Mitsubish
i Motors dealer.

If the engine cannot be started because the battery is weak or de
ad, you can start it with
the battery from anothe
r vehicle using jumper
cables.
1. Take off any metal jewelry such as watch bands or bracelets th
at might create 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.

WA R N I N G To reduce the risk of igniting flammable gas that may be emi
tted from the battery,
carefully read this section before jump-starting the vehicle. Do not try to start you
r vehicle by pushing
or towing. This can cause an accident resulting in serious
injury or death and
can damage the vehicle.NOTE
 Do not use jumper cables if they have dam- age or corrosion.CAUTION Check the other vehicle.

3. You could be injured if the vehicles move. Set the parking brake firmly on each vehi-cle. Put an automatic transaxle or CVT in “P” (PARK) or a manual transaxle in “N” (Neutral).4. Turn the ignition switch to the “OFF” position or put the operation mode in OFF. 5. Make sure your batt
ery electrolyte is at
the proper level. (Refer to “Battery” on page 9-11.) 6. Connect one end of one jumper cable to the positive (+) terminal of the dis- charged battery (A),
and then connect the
other end to the positive (+) terminal of the booster battery (B).
7. Connect one end of the other jumper cable
to the negative (-) terminal of the booster battery (B), a
nd then connect the
other end to the designated ground location of the vehicl
e with the discharged
battery (A) at the point farthest from the battery. 8. Start the engine in the vehicle providing the boost. Let the engine idle a few min- utes, then start the engine in the vehiclewith the discharged battery. 9. After the engine is
started, disconnect the
cables in the reverse order from the wayyou connected them.
NOTE
 Turn off all lights, heat
er, and other electrical
loads. This will avoid sparks and help save both batteries.WA R N I N G If the electrolyte flui
d is not visible, or
looks frozen, DO NOT ATTEMPT JUMP STARTING!! The battery might split open or explode ifthe temperature is below the freezing point or if it is not filled to the proper level.
WA R N I N G Make sure that the jumper cables and your clothing are clear of the cooling fansand drive belts. Entanglement with the fans or belts can ca
use serious personal
injury.NOTE
 Open the terminal cover before connecting the jumper cable to the positive terminal ofthe battery. (Refer to “Battery:
Disconnection and con-
nection” on page 9-11.)  Use the proper cables suitable for the battery size.Otherwise heat damage
to the cables could
result.
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 correct designated location (as shown in the illustration) properly. If theconnection is directly made to the negative (-) terminal of the battery, the flammable gases from inside the battery might catchfire and explode, caus
ing personal injury.
When connecting the jumper cable, do not connect the positive (+) cable to the nega- tive (-) terminal. Sparks can make the bat- tery explode.

If you drive your vehicl
e with a low battery
charge after the engine has been started byusing jumper cables, th
e 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.
N00836501418
If the high coolant temperature warning lightilluminates while the e
ngine is running, the
engine may be overhea
ting. 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 fan 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 onuntil the high coolant
temperature warn-
ing light goes off. After the high coolant temperature warning light has gone off,you can start driving again. If the high coolant temperature warning light stays on, turn off the engine. 6. When you do not see any more steam or spray, open the hood. Look for obviousleaks, such as a split radiator hose. Be careful as components will be hot. Any leak source must be repaired.
Charging the battery by using an external battery charger
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, cigarette
s, and flames away
from the battery because the battery couldexplode. Keep your work area well vented when charging or using
the battery in an
enclosed space. Remove all the caps before charging the battery. Electrolyte (battery acid) is made of corro- sive diluted sulfuric acid. If electrolyte comes in contact with your hands, eyes,clothes, or the pain
ted surface of your
vehicle, thoroughly
flush with water. If
electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush themimmediately and thor
oughly with water,
and get prompt medical attention. Always wear protective clothing and gog- gles when working near the battery. Keep the battery out of the reach of chil- dren.
As your vehicle has anti-lock brakes Engine overheating
WA R N I N G To avoid personal injury, keep hands, hair, jewelry and clothes aw
ay from the cooling
fan. The cooling fan ca
n start at any time.
WA R N I N GBefore raising the en
gine hood, check to
see if there is steam or spray coming fromunder the hood. Steam or spray coming from an overheated en
gine could seriously
scald you.Do not open the hood until there is no steam or spray.

7. If there is no obvious leak source, check the coolant level in th
e engine coolant res-
ervoir. If there is none, or if it is too low, slowly add coolant. 8. If the engine coolant reservoir needs cool-ant, you will probably also need to add coolant to the radiator. Do not loosen or remove the radiator cap until the enginehas cooled down. 9. Start the engine, and slowly add coolant, up to the bottom of the filler neck. Useplain water if you have to (and replace it with the right coolant as soon as possible).
10. Replace the radiator
cap and tighten it
fully. Check the coolant temperature warning light. You can start driving again when the high coolant temperature warn-ing light does not come on.
11. Have the system inspected by your autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer or a repair
facility of your choice.

The tools are stored beneath the floor boardof the cargo area. The jack is stored under the driver’s seat.
Move the driver’s seat fully forward to access the jack from the rear seat area.(Refer to “Front seats” on page 4-3.)
WA R N I N G Removing the radiat
or cap could scald
you with escaping hot water or steam. When checking the radiator level, cover the cap with a cloth before trying toremove it. Turn it slowly counterclock- wise, without pressing down, to the first notch. The pressure in the system will thenbe let out. When the pressure is COM- PLETELY LET OUT, press down and keep turning the cap counterclockwiseuntil it comes off.
