Ty p e 1
CAUTION Driving for a long time with the engine mal- function indicator on may cause more dam-age to the emission control system. This could also affect fuel economy and drivabil- ity. If this indicator does not come on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” posi- tion or the operation mode is put in ON, have the system checked at an authorizedMitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
 If the engine malfunction indicator comes on while the engine is running, avoid driving at high speeds. During vehicle operation with the indicator on, the vehicle may not accelerate when youdepress the accelerator pedal. When the vehicle is stationary with the indi- cator on, you must depress the brake pedalmore firmly than usual since the engine idling speed is higher than usual and a vehi- cle with a CVT has a stronger tendency tocreep forward.NOTE
 Do not disconnect the battery cable when the engine malfunction indicator (“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” or “Check engine light”) ison. The engine electronic control module stores critical OBD information (especially exhaustemission data), which may be lost if the bat- tery cable is disconnected while the engine malfunction indicator is on. This will make itdifficult to diagnose the cause of future prob- lems.

CAUTION If a vehicle is driven without releasing the parking brake, the brakes will overheat,resulting in ineffective braking and possible brake failure. If this warning is displayed, release the park- ing brake.
CAUTION If this warning stays on and does not go out while driving, there is a danger of ineffective braking. If this happens, park the vehicle in a safe place, and contact an authorizedMitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice. If the brake warning display, brake warning light, and the Anti-lock braking system warning light are illuminated at the sametime, the braking force distribution function will not operate, so the vehicle may be desta- bilized during sudden braking. Avoid suddenbraking and high-speed driving. Park the vehicle in a safe place, and contact an autho- rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repairfacility of your choice. The vehicle should be brought to a halt in the following manner when brake performance is deteriorated.• Confirm that the vehicle slows down when you press down on the brake pedal harderthan usual. In some cases, the brake pedal may go all the way to the floor.
• Should the brakes fail, use engine brakingto reduce your speed and slowly apply the parking brake. Depress the brake pedal to illuminate the stop lights to alert the vehicles behind you.

If 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 systemwarning 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.
N00836500352
When the engine is overheating, the informa- tion screen in the multi-information displaywill be interrupted and the engine coolant temperature warning display will appear. Also “ ” blink. 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 engine compartment.3. Check that the cooling fan is running. If the fan is not turning, stop the engine immediately and contact an authorizedMitsubishi 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 on until the bar graph for the engine coolant temperature warning display on the multi-information display goes down. When it is in the middle of the normal zone, you can start driving again. If the bar graphstays in the red zone, turn off the engine. 6. When you do not see any more steam or spray, open the hood. Look for obvious leaks, such as a split radiator hose. Be careful as components will be hot. Anyleak source must be repaired. 7. If there is no obvious leak source, check the coolant level in the engine coolantreserve tank. If there is none, or if it is too low, slowly add coolant.
 Remove all the caps before charging the battery. Electrolyte (battery acid) is made of corro- sive diluted sulfuric acid. If electrolytecomes in contact with your hands, eyes, clothes, or the painted surface of your vehicle, thoroughly flush with water. Ifelectrolyte gets in your eyes, flush them immediately and thoroughly 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.

The condition of the battery is very important for quick starting and to keep the vehicle’s electrical system working properly. Check thebattery regularly. If battery performance is suspect, have the battery and charging system tested by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or arepair facility of your choice.
N00901600031
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 a hard time starting your vehicle.It is recommended that you have your battery and charging system checked by an autho- rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repairfacility of your choice before the start of cold weather. If necessary, have it charged. This will guarantee more reliable starting, and lon-ger battery life.
N00901701101
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.
Fluid type

CAUTION Do not let any petroleum-based fluid touch, mix with, or get into the brake fluid. This will damage the seals. Be careful when handling brake fluid. It can damage painted surfaces. Use only the listed brake fluid. Different brands of brake fluid have different addi-tives, and these can cause a chemical reac- tion. Do not mix brands of brake fluid. Keep the reservoir tank cap closed to keep the brake fluid from evaporating.
Battery
NOTE
 After replacing the battery, the electronic control system data for the automatic trans- axle, etc., will be erased. As a result, shifting may be rough. Shifting will become smoother after severalchanges in speed.
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 the battery cable from the positive (+) terminal.WA R N I N G Never disconnect the battery while the engine is running, or you could damage the vehicle’s electrical parts. Never short-circuit the battery.

 Maximum pressure:the maximum permis- sible cold tire inflation pressure for thistire.  Recommended inflation pressure: the inflation pressure for optimum tire perfor-mance.  Intended outboard sidewall: • The sidewall that contains a whitewall,bears white lettering or bears manufac- turer, brand, and/or model name molding that is higher or deeper than the samemolding on the other sidewall of the tire, or
 Electrolyte (battery acid) is made of corro- sive diluted sulfuric
acid. If it spills on
nearby parts, it can crack, stain, or dis- color them. And if it gets on your skin or in your eyes, it can cause burns or blind-ness. Please observe the following han- dling instructions:• If electrolyte gets on plastic parts orother nearby parts, wipe it off with a soft cloth or chamois soaked in a solution ofwater and neutral detergent then imme- diately rinse the affected parts with plenty 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 windows 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, or have a skilled automobile technician do it. If you are quick-charging your battery, first disconnect th
e battery cables.
In order to prevent a short-circuit, be sure to disconnect the negative (-) terminal first, and reconnect it last. Battery posts, terminals and related acces- sories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.WA R N I N G
NOTE
 Check each battery terminal for corrosion. You can stop more corrosion by washing with a solution of baking soda and water. Grease the posts and clamps after cleaning or tightening them.  Check to see that the battery is securely installed and cannot be moved. Also checkeach terminal for tightness.  If you will not be driving your vehicle for a long period of time, remove the battery and store it in a place where the battery fluid will not freeze.
