you give extra attention to the followingareas, 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, blind spots, a
nd use your turn-signal
light.While driving, watch the behavior ofother 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 assudden 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 rightfuel.

Check the battery. At the same time,check the terminals and wiring. Duringextremely cold weather, the battery willnot be as strong. Also, the battery powerlevel may drop beca
use more power is
used for cold starting and driving.
Before driving the vehicle, check to see ifthe 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-uptime to distribute oil to all cylinders. Thendrive your vehicle slowly.Stay at low speeds at first so that thetransaxle, transfer case and rear axle oilhave time to spread to all lubricationpoints.Check the engine antifreeze.If there is not enough coolant because of aleak or from engine
overheating, add Mit-
subishi Motors Genuine Super Long LifeCoolant Premium or equivalent.Please read this section in conjunctionwith the “Engine coolant” on page 9-8.

All the parts of the brake system are criticalto safety. Have the
vehicle serviced by an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or arepair facility of your
choice at regular inter-
vals according to the “WARRANTY ANDMAINTENANCE MANUAL”.Check the brake system while driving at alow speed immediately
after starting, espe-
cially when the brakes are wet, to confirmthey work normally.A film of water can be formed on the brakediscs and prevent normal braking after driv-ing in heavy rain or through large puddles, orafter the vehicle is washed. If this occurs, drythe brakes out by drivi
ng slowly while lightly
depressing the brake pedal.
Driving during cold weather
WA R N I N GThe battery gives off explosive hydrogengas. Any spark or flame can cause the bat-tery to explode, which could cause seriousinjury or death.Always wear protecti
ve clothes and a face
mask when working with your battery, orlet a skilled mechanic do it.
WA R N I N GNever open the radiator cap when theradiator is hot. You could be seriouslyburned.

Trailer towing
Driving safety 6-15
6
You’ll need more passing distance up aheadwhen you’re towing a trailer. And, becauseyou’re a good deal longer, you’ll need to gomuch farther beyond the passed vehiclebefore you can return to your lane.Hold the bottom of the steering wheel withone 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 theright. Always back up sl
owly and, if possible,
have someone guide you.When you’re turning with a trailer, makewider than normal turns to help prevent thetrailer from striking shoulders, curbs, roadsigns, trees or other objects.
Avoid jerky or sudden maneuvers. Signalwell in advance.Towing a trailer puts additional burden on theengine 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 alower temperature than at normal altitudes.If you turn your engine off immediately aftertowing 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”turning the engine off.
If the engine coolant temperature indica-tor flashes on the information screen inthe multi-information display or theengine power drops suddenly, refer to“Engine overheati
ng” on page 8-4.
If the warning display or warningdisplay illuminates, re
fer to “Warning dis-
play” on page 5-70, 5-78.
Reduce speed and downshift before you startdown a long or steep downgrade. If you don’tdownshift, over using the brakes can causereduced brake efficiency.You can tow in “D” (DRIVE) position. Youmay want to shift the selector lever to the 3rdor a lower position, under heavy loads or hillyconditions.Always place chocks or blocks under both thevehicle and trailer wheels when parking. Besure that the parking brake is firmly set andthat 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 onlyafter performing the following:
Passing Backing up Making turns
CAUTIONMaking sharp turns while towing a trailercould 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 hazardwarning flashers. If there is no shoulder, orthe shoulder is not safe, drive in the right laneslowly with the hazard
lights flashing, until
you come to a safe stopping place. Keep theflashers flashing.If the engine stops, there will be no powerassist to the steering and brakes, making thesedifficult to use.The brake booster will not work, so thebrakes will not grip well. The brake pedalwill be harder to press than usual.Since there is no power steering assist, thesteering 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 thebattery 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 watchbands or bracelets th
at might create an
accidental electrical contact.2. Position the vehi
cles close enough
together so that the jumper cables canreach, but be sure the vehicles aren’ttouching 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 othervehicle. Put the automatic transaxle in “P”5. Turn the ignition switch (the engineswitch) on each vehicle to the “LOCK” or“OFF” position.6. Make sure your battery electrolyte is atthe proper level. (Refer to “Battery” onpage 9-13.)
If the vehicle breaks down If the engine stops/fails When the engine fails at the intersection
Jump-starting the engine
WA R N I N GTo reduce the risk of igniting flammablegas 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 accidentresulting 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 systemwarning light to blink on
and off. This is only
due to the low battery voltage. It is not aproblem with the brake system. If this hap-pens, fully charge the battery and ensure thecharging 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 theengine coolant temp
erature warning dis-
play will appear. Also “ ” will blink.(Color liquid crystal display type)lamp will illuminate.

Normally, the catalyti
c converter does not
require maintenance. However, it is importantto keep the engine properly tuned for the con-verter to continue to work properly.To reduce the possibili
ty of catalytic con-
verter damage:Use UNLEADED GASOLINE ONLY ofthe type of recommended in the “Fuelselection”.Do not drive with an extremely low fuellevel. Running out of gas could damagethe catalytic converter.
Do not try to start the engine by pushingor towing the vehicle. If the battery isweak or run down, use jumper cables toproperly start the engine.Do not idle the engine with any spark plugwires disconnected or removed, such aswhen performing
diagnosti
c tests.
Do not idle the engine
for a long time if it
is idling roughly or otherwise obviouslymalfunctioning.To prevent the catalytic converter frombeing damaged from unburned gas, do notrace the engine when turning off the igni-tion switch.Stop driving the vehicle if you think theperformance is noticeably low, or theengine has a malfunction such as with theignition, etc. If you are not able to stopdriving immediately,
slow down and drive
for only a short time. Have your vehiclechecked at an authorized MitsubishiMotors dealer or a repair facility of yourchoice as soon
as possible.
In unusual situations involving majorengine problems, a burning odor mayindicate severe and abnormal catalyticconverter overheating.
If this occurs, stop
in a safe place, shut the engine off and letthe vehicle cool. Once
the engine is cool,
immediately take
your vehicle to an
authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a
repair facility of your choice for service.

Use the engine hood release lever (locatedunder the instrument panel near the driver’sdoor) to unlock the engine hood.Pull the lever toward you to release theengine hood latch.
CAUTIONDamage to the catalyti
c converter can result
if your vehicle is not
kept in proper operating
condition. If the engine
malfunctions or mis-
fires, or if your vehi
cle performance suffers,
have it serviced promptly. Running yourvehicle when it is
overheated may result in
damage to the converter and vehicle.WA R N I N GDo not park or run your vehicle in areaswhere combustible materials such as drygrass or leaves can come
in contact with a
hot exhaust, since a fire could occur.Do not put undercoat paint on the cata-lytic converter.

Do not fill above the t
op line because a spill
during driving could cause damage.The battery is weaker in cold temperatures.This has to do with its chemical and physicalproperties and is why a very cold battery,especially one with a low charge, will have ahard time starting your vehicle.It is recommended that you have your batteryand charging system checked by an autho-rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repairfacility of your choice before the start of coldweather. If necessary, have it charged. Thiswill provide more relia
ble starting, and longer
battery life.To disconnect the battery cable, stop theengine. Disconnect the
negative (-) terminal
first, then the positive (+) terminal. To recon-nect the battery, first
connect the positive (+)
terminal and then the negative (-) terminal,before starting the vehicle.During cold weather Disconnection and connection
NOTE
Open the terminal cover (A) before discon-necting or connecting
the positive (+) termi-
nal of the battery.
Loosen the nut (B) and then disconnect thebattery cable from the positive (+) terminal.WA R N I N GNever disconnect the battery while theengine is running, or you could damagethe vehicle’s electrical parts.Never short-circuit the battery. This couldcause it to overheat and be damaged.Keep sparks, cigarettes, and flames awayfrom the battery because the battery couldexplode.Electrolyte (battery acid) is made of corro-sive diluted sulfuric acid. If it spills onnearby parts, it can crack, stain, or dis-color them. And if it gets on your skin orin your eyes, it can cause burns or blind-ness. Please observe the following han-dling instructions:NOTE
• If electrolyte gets on plastic parts orother nearby parts, wipe it off with a softcloth or chamois soak
ed in a solution of
water and neutral detergent then imme-diately rinse the affected parts withplenty of water.• If electrolyte gets on your hands orclothes, rinse thoroughly with water. Ifelectrolyte gets in
your eyes, flush them
with water immediately and get immedi-ate medical attention.
Open doors and wind
ows in any closed
space where you may be charging orworking with the battery.Always wear protective clothing and gog-gles when working with the battery, orhave a skilled automobile technician do it.If you are quick-ch
arging your battery,
first disconnect the battery cables.In order to prevent a
short-circuit, be sure
to disconnect the negative (-) terminalfirst, and reconnect it last.If the electrolyte level
is very low, have the
battery checked at an
authorized Mitsubi-
shi Motors dealer or
a repair facility of
your choice.Battery posts, terminals and related acces-sories contain lead
and lead compounds.
