 If the moving wipers become blocked part- way through a sweep by ice or other deposits on the glass, the wipers may temporarily stop operating to prevent the motor from over- heating. In this case, park the vehicle in asafe place, turn the ignition switch to the “OFF” position or put the operation mode in OFF, and then remove the ice or other depos-its. Because the wipers will start operating again after the wiper motor cools down, check thatthe wipers operate before using them.  Avoid using the washer for more than 20 sec- onds at a time. Do not operate the washer when the washer fluid reservoir is empty or the pump may fail.  During cold weather, add a recommended washer solution that will not freeze in thewasher fluid reservoir. Otherwise the washer may not work or may be damaged.  Replace the wiper blades when they are worn. Use the proper size replacement blades. For further information, please con-tact your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.

 Before changing lanes, check your mir- rors and use your turn-signal light.  While driving, watch the behavior of other drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians. Always obey applicable laws and regula- tions. Be a polite and alert driver. Always leave room for unexpected events, such assudden braking.  If you plan to drive in another country, obey their vehicle registration laws andmake sure you will be able to get the rightfuel.
N00629400461
 Check the battery. At the same time, check the terminals and wiring. During extremely cold weather, the battery will not be as strong. Also, the battery powerlevel may drop because more power is used for cold starting and driving. Before driving the vehicle, check to see ifthe engine runs at the proper speed and if the 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 transaxle, transfer case and rear axle oil have time to spread to all the lubricationpoints.  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. Please read this section in conjunction with the “Engine coolant” on page 9-7.
N00629500491
All the parts of the brake system are criticalto safety. Have the vehicle serviced by anauthorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice at regular inter- vals according to the “WARRANTY ANDMAINTENANCE MANUAL”. Check the brake system while driving at a low speed immediately after starting, espe- cially when the brakes are wet, to confirm they work normally.A film of water can be formed on the brake discs and prevent normal braking after driv- ing in heavy rain or through large puddles, orafter the vehicle is wash
ed. If this occurs, dry
the brakes out by driving slowly while lightly depressing the brake pedal.
Driving during cold weather
WA R N I N G The battery gives off explosive hydrogen gas. Any spark or flame can cause the bat- tery to explode, which could cause serious injury or death. Always wear protective clothes and a facemask when working with your battery, or let a skilled mechanic do it.
WA R N I N G Never open the radiator cap when the radiator is hot. You could be seriously burned.

On snowy roads, ice can form on the braking system, making the brakes less effective.While driving in such
conditions, pay close
attention to preceding and following vehicles and to the condition of
the road surface. From
time to time, lightly depress the brake pedal and check how effective the brakes are. It is important to take advantage of the engine braking by downshifting while driving on steep downhill roads in order to prevent the brakes from overheating.
N00629600304
When parking on a hill, set the parking brake,and turn the front wheels toward the curb on adownhill, or away from the curb on an uphill. If necessary, apply chocks to wheels.
Place the gearshift lever into the “R” (Reverse) position when parking on a down- hill slope, into the 1st position when parkingon an uphill slope. Be sure that the parking brake is firmly set when parked and that the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) position. When parking on a hill, it is important to setthe parking brake before moving the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position. This pre- vents loading the parking brake against thetransaxle. When this happens, it is difficult to move the selector lever out of the “P” (PARK) position. Never leave the engi
ne running while you
take a short sleep or rest. Also, never leave the engine running in a closed or poorly ven- tilated place.
Your front bumper can be damaged if you scrape it over curbs or parking stop blocks.Be careful when traveling up or down steep slopes where your bumper can scrape the road. More effort could be required to turn the steering wheel. Refer to “Electric power steering system (EPS)” on page 5-69.

N00836300187
If your vehicle breaks down on the road, move to the shoulder and turn on the hazardwarning flashers. If there is no shoulder, or the shoulder is not safe, drive in the right lane slowly, with the hazard lights flashing, untilyou come to a safe stopping place. Keep the flashers 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 pedalwill 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 vehicl
e and move it to a safe
zone.
N00836401824
If the engine cannot be started because the battery is weak or dead, you can start it withthe battery from another vehicle using jumper cables. 1. Take off any metal jewelry such as watch bands or bracelets that might make an accidental electrical contact.2. Position the vehicles close enough together so that the jumper cables can reach, but be sure the vehicles aren’ttouching each other.
3. You could be injured if the vehicles move. Set the parking brake firmly oneach vehicle. Put an automatic transaxle or CVT in “P” (PARK) or a manual trans- axle in “N” (Neutral).4. Turn the ignition switch to the “OFF”position or put the operation mode in OFF. 5. Make sure your battery electrolyte is at the proper level.(Refer to “Battery” on page 9-11.)
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 When using jumper cables to start a vehi- cle, follow the procedures and be very cau- tious.CAUTION Do not try to start your vehicle by pushing or towing. Vehicles with automatic transaxles cannot be started this way. Also, there is more risk of an accident when a vehicle isbeing pushed or towed.
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.WA R N I N G Perform step 4 on both vehicles before- hand. Make sure that the cables or your clothes cannot be ca
ught by the fan or
drive belt. Personal injury could result.NOTE
 Turn off all lights, heater, and other electrical loads. This will avoid sparks and help save both batteries.

Engine overheating 8-4 For emergencies
8
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 display
will 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. Ifthe fan is not turning, stop the engine immediately 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 comingfrom 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. 8. If the engine coolant reserve tank needscoolant, you will probably also need to add coolant to the radiator. Do not loosen or remove the radiator cap until the enginehas cooled down.
 Electrolyte (battery acid) is made of corro- sive diluted sulfuric acid. If electrolyte comes 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.
As your vehicle has anti-lock brakes Engine overheating
WA R N I N G
WA R N I N G To avoid personal injury, keep hands, hair, jewelry and clothes away from the cooling fan. The cooling fan can start atany time.
WA R N I N G Before raising the engine hood, check to see if there is steam or spray coming from under the hood. Steam or spray coming from an overheated engine could seriously scald you.Do not open the hood until there is no steam or spray.

N00836901832
Before changing a tire, first stop your vehicle in a safe, flat location. 1. Park the vehicle on level and stable ground. 2. Set the parking brake firmly.3. On vehicles equipped with manual trans- axle, stop the engine and move the gear- shift lever to the “R” (Reverse) position.On vehicles equipped with continuously variable transmission (CVT), move the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position,and stop the engine. 4. Turn on the hazard flashers and set up a warning triangle, flashing signal light,etc., at an adequate distance from the vehicle, and have all your passengers leave the vehicle.
5. To prevent the vehicle from rolling when it is raised on the jack, place chocks or blocks (A) in front of and behind the tire that is diagonally opposite from the tire(B) you are changing.
6. Get the jack, bar and wheel nut wrench ready. (Refer to “Jack and tools” on page 8-5.)
N00849600331
The compact spare tire is stowed beneath the luggage floor board of the luggage compart- ment. It is designed to save space in the lug- gage compartment. Its lighter weight makes iteasier to use if a flat tire occurs.
How to change a tire
WA R N I N G The jack should not be used for any pur- pose other than to change a tire. Never get under the vehicle or put any portion of your body under the vehicle while it is supported by the jack.
WA R N I N G Be sure to apply chocks or blocks to the correct tire when jacking up the vehicle. Ifthe vehicle moves while jacked up, the jack could slip out of position, leading to an accident.NOTE
 The chocks shown in the illustration do not come with your vehicle. It is recommended that you purchase chocks or blocks and keepthem in the vehicle for use if needed.  If chocks or blocks are not available, use stones or any other objects that are large enough to hold the wheel in position.
Spare tire information Compact spare tire
WA R N I N G Tires, including spare tire, degrade over time with age even when they are not being used. It is recommended that tires over 6 years generally be replaced even ifdamage is not obvious.CAUTION While the compact spare tire is stowed, the inflation pressure should be checked at least once a month to assure that it remains at the recommended inflation pressure. See the tireand loading information placard attached to the driver’s door sill. Refer to “Tire and loading information placard” on page 11-2.

Release the parking brake. Place the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral) position (manual transaxle) or the selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position(CVT).
N00837200675
If your vehicle becomes stuck in snow, sand,or mud, it can often be
moved by a rocking
motion. Rock your vehicle back and forth to free it.Do not rev the engine or spin the wheels. Constant efforts to free a stuck vehicle can cause overheating and transaxle failure. Letthe engine idle for a few minutes to cool the transaxle before trying again. If your vehicle is still stuck after several rock-ing attempts, call for help.
 When driving on a road covered with snow or ice, use snow tires. Tire chains cannot be used on your vehicle. Theremay be state or local regulations about using snow tires. Always check the regu- lations in your local area before usingthem. Refer to “Snow tires” on page 9-20 and “Tire chains” on page 9-21.  Drive slowly. Do not make sudden starts or stops, sharp turns, or slam on thebrakes.  Allow extra distance between your vehi- cle and the vehicle in front of you, andavoid sudden braking.  If a skid occurs when the accelerator pedal is depressed, take your foot off thepedal. Steer gently in the direction of the skid.  Your vehicle is equipped with an anti- lock braking system (ABS). Hold the brake pedal down firmly and keep it depressed. Do not pump the brake pedalwhich will result in reduced braking per- formance.  After parking on snowy or icy road, it may be difficult to move your vehicle due to freeze-up of the brake. Depress the accelerator pedal little by little to movethe vehicle after confirming safety of the vehicle.
Towing a front-wheel drive vehicle with front wheels off the ground (Type C) Operation under adverse driving conditions If your vehicle becomes stuck in sand, mud or snow
WA R N I N G When trying to rock your vehicle out of a stuck position, make sure that there are no people nearby. The rocking motion can make your vehicle suddenly lurch forward or backward, and injure any bystanders.
On wet roads
CAUTION Avoid flooded roads. Water is often deeper than it looks, and you could be seriously hurt by driving into flood water. When driving in rain, on water-covered roads, or through a car wash, water could getinto the brake discs and make them fail tem- porarily. In such cases, lightly press the brake pedal to see if they are working prop-erly. If they are not, press the pedal lightly several times while driving to dry the brake pads or linings, then check them again. When driving in rain, a layer of water may form between the tires and the road surface(hydroplaning). This loosens your tires’ grip on the road, making it difficult to steer or brake properly. When driving on a wet road:• Drive your vehicle at a safe speed.• Do not drive on worn tires.• Always keep the tires at the correct infla- tion pressures.

The brake fluid and the clutch fluid share the reservoir tank.
The fluid level must be between the “MAX” and “MIN” marks on the reservoir. The fluid level falls slightly with wear of the brake pads, but this does not indicate any abnormality. The fluid in the master cylinder should be checked when doing other work under theengine hood. The brake system should also be checked for leaks at the same time. If the fluid level falls markedly in a shortlength of time, it indicates leaks from the brake system. If this occurs, have the vehicle checked by anauthorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.

Your vehicle is equipped with an emission-control system that meets all the requirements of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
and Environment Canada. The emission-con- trol system is made of:  a positive crankcase ventilation system  an evaporative emission-control system  an exhaust emission-control system
To be sure the emission-control system works properly, have your vehicle inspected and maintained by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of yourchoice. This should be done at the time ormileage specified in the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”. These, and all the other “general” mainte-nance services listed in this manual, need to be performed to keep your vehicle running properly and reliably.You should also have an inspection and ser- vice any time you suspect a malfunction.
N00940900228
Spark plugs must fire properly for good engine performance and emission-control.Do not reuse them by cleaning or regapping. Change them at the mileage listed in the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCEMANUAL”.
Wiper blades
NOTE
 Do not run the wipers on dry glass for a long time. This wears out the rubber and can scratch the glass.
During cold weather Emission-control system maintenance
NOTE
 To meet government regulations and pro- mote cleaner air, your vehicle is equipped with an onboard diagnostic system (OBD). The engine electronic control module that controls OBD functions stores various data(especially about the exhaust emissions). This data will be erased if the battery cable is disconnected, which could make a rapiddiagnosis difficult. Do not disconnect the battery cable when the engine malfunction indicator (“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” or“Check engine light”) is ON.
Spark plugs
NOTE
 Use the spark plugs listed under “Engine specifications” on page 11-4 or plugs that are exactly the same. Other plugs could causeengine damage, performance problems or radio noise.
