Trailer towing
Driving safety 6-15

Hold the bottom of the steering wheel with one hand. Then, to move the trailer to the left, just move that hand to the left. To move thetrailer to the right, move your hand to the right. Always back up sl
owly and, if possible,
have someone guide you. When you’re turning with a trailer, make wider than normal turns to help prevent the trailer from striking shoulders, curbs, roadsigns, trees or other objects. Avoid jerky or sudde
n maneuvers. Signal
well in advance. Towing a trailer puts a
dditional burden on the
engine and transaxle,
which may cause over-
heating. Following ar
e some suggestions to
reduce overheating: When towing at high al
titudes, engine coolant
and automatic transaxle oil will overheat at a lower temperature than at normal altitudes.If you turn your engine off immediately after towing at high altitude
on steep uphill grades,
your vehicle may show
signs similar to over-
heating. To avoid this
, let the engine run
while parked (preferably on level ground) with the automatic transaxle in the “P”(PARK) position for a few minutes before turning the engine off.  If the engine coolant temperature indica- tor flashes on the in
formation screen in
the multi-information display or the engine power drops suddenly, refer to “Engine overheating” on page 8-4.
 If the warning display or warning display illuminates, re
fer to “Warning dis-
play” on page 5-62, 5-70.
Reduce speed and downshift before you start down a long or steep downgrade. If you don’t downshift, over using the brakes can cause reduced brake efficiency. You can tow in “D” (DRIVE) position. You may want to shift the selector lever to the 3rd or a lower position, under heavy loads or hillyconditions. Always place chocks or blocks under both the vehicle and trailer wheels when parking. Be sure that the parking brake is firmly set and that the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK)position. Avoid parki
ng on a hill with a
trailer, but if it cannot be avoided, do so only after performing the following: 1. Apply the brakes and keep them applied. 2. Have someone plac
e chocks or blocks
under both the vehicle
and trailer wheels.
Backing up Making turns
CAUTION Making sharp turns while towing a trailer could cause the
trailer to come in contact
with the vehicle. Your
vehicle could be dam-
aged. Avoid making sharp turns while tow- ing a trailer.

N00836301230
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 hazard
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.
N00836401778
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 enough together so that the jumper cables canreach, but be sure the vehicles aren’t touching each other. 3. Set the parking brake firmly on your vehi- cle and move the selector lever into the“P” (PARK) position. 4. Set the parking brake firmly on the other vehicle. Put the automatic transaxle in “P”(PARK) or the manual transaxle in “N” (Neutral). 5. Turn the ignition switch (the engineswitch) on each vehicle to the “LOCK” or “OFF” position.

Jump-starting the engine
WA R N I N G To reduce the risk of igniting flammable gas that may be emitted 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.
It must have a 12-
volt battery. If the other system isn’t 12-volt,both systems can be damaged.NOTE
 Turn off all lights, heat
er, and othe
r electrical
loads. This will avoid sparks and help saveboth batteries.

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.
N00836501375
When the engine is overheating, the warningwill be displayed in th
e instrument cluster as
follows.  The information screen in the multi infor- mation display will be interrupted and the engine coolant temp
erature warning dis-
play will appear. Also “ ” will blink. (Color liquid crystal display type)  The high coolant temperature warning lamp will illuminate.
(Mono-color liquid
crystal display type)
If these warnings are displayed:
1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place. Turn on the hazard warning flashers.2. With the engine st
ill running, carefully
raise the engine hood to vent the engine compartment.3. Check that the cooling fan is running. If the fan is not turn
ing, stop the engine
immediately and cont
act 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.
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

5. If you do not see stea
m or spray coming
from under the hood, leave the engine onuntil the high coolant temperature warn- ing goes off. After the high coolant tem- perature warning has gone off, you canstart driving again. If the high coolant temperature warning 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.7. If there is no obvious leak source, check the coolant level in the engine coolant reserve tank. If there is
none, or if it is too
low, slowly add coolant.
8. If the engine coolant reserve tank needs coolant, you will probably also need toadd coolant to the radiator. Do not loosen or remove the radiator cap until the engine has cooled down. 9. Start the engine, a
nd slowly add coolant,
up to the bottom of the filler neck. Use plain water if you have to (and replace itwith the right coolant as soon as possible).
10. Replace the radiator cap and tighten it
fully. Check the engine coolant tempera-ture display on the mu
lti information dis-
play (Color liquid crystal display type) or the high coolant temperature warninglight (Mono-color liqui
d crystal display
type). You can start driving again when the high coolant temperature warningdoes not come on.
11. Have the system in
spected by your autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repairfacility of your choice.

WA R N I N G Before raising the en
gine hood, check to
see if there is steam or spray coming from under the hood. Steam or spray comingfrom an overheated en
gine could seriously
scald you. Do not open the hood until there is nosteam or spray.
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, coverthe cap with a cloth before trying to remove it. Turn it slowly counterclock- wise, without pressing down, to the firstnotch. The pressure in the system will then be let out. When the pressure is COM- PLETELY LET OUT, press down andkeep turning the cap counterclockwise until it comes off.
