Charge warning lamp - red
ED54A-Y
This lamp illuminates when the ignition switch is
turned“ON ”, and goes off after the engine has
started.
CAUTION
If it illuminates while the engine is running,
there is a problem in the charging system. In
this case, immediately park your vehicle in a
safe place and contact your nearest autho-
rized MITSUBISHI dealer.
[ Except for 2500 models ]
Abnormality in the charging system.
[ 2500 models ]
Broken alternator belt or abnormality in the
charging system. A broken alternator belt
causes poor braking efficiency. Depress the
brake pedal harder than usual to park the
vehicle in a safe place.
A/T (automatic transmission) fluid tempera-
ture warning lamp - red
(vehicles with automatic transmission)
ED73AAK
The A/T fluid temperature warning lamp comes on
when the A/T fluid temperature becomes abnor-
mally high. Normally the warning lamp comes on
when the engine switch is placed in the “ON ”posi-
tion, and it goes out when the engine is started.
When the lamp comes on, reduce the engine speed
and move the vehicle to a safe area.
Then, set the selector lever to “P”(PARK) posi-
tion and idle the engine until the warning lamp goes
off. When the warning lamp goes off, the vehicle can
run as before. If the warning lamp does not go off,
please have your vehicle inspected at an autho-
rized MITSUBISHI dealer.

RearIf your vehicle is to be towed, pay care-
ful attention to the following points:
(1) For vehicles with an automatic trans-
mission, check the automatic transmis-
sion fluid level. (Refer to“Automatic
transmission fluid”on page 9-4)
If the fluid level is low, transport the
vehicle with all wheels off the ground.
CAUTION
If the vehicle is out of automatic
transmission fluid, the transmis-
sion could be damaged.
(2) Move the gear shift lever (manual
transmission) or the selector lever
(automatic transmission) to the
“Neutral”or“N”(NEUTRAL).(3) Move the transfer shift lever to“2H”
position.
CAUTION
If the vehicle is towed with the trans-
fer shift lever in“4H”or“4L”posi-
tion (part time 4WD models)“4H”,
“4HLc”or“4LLc”position (super
select 4WD II models) the drive
mechanism may be dameged.
(4) Be sure the towing speed is within the
legal limit. In addition, if the vehicle is
equipped with an automatic transmis-
sion, make sure that the towing speed
and distance given below are never
exceeded.
Towing speed: 50 km/h (31 mph)
Towing distance: 50 km (31 miles)
(5) If the transmission is malfunctioning or
damaged, or if the vehicle is equipped
with an automatic transmission and
must be towed farther than 50km (31
miles), tow the vehicle by a tow truck.
(6) Turn the ignition switch to the“ACC”or
“ON”position to unlock the steering
wheel.
CAUTION
(1) As the engine is not running, the
brake booster and power steer-
ing pump do not operate. This
means higher brake depres-
sion force and higher steering
effort are required. Therefore,
vehicle operation is more diffi-
cult than usual.
(2) Do not leave the key in the
“LOCK”position. If the key is
removed while driving, the steer-
ing will be locked causing loss
of control.

2. You could be injured if the vehicles
move. Set the parking brake firmly on
each vehicle. Put an automatic trans-
mission in“P”(PARK) or a manual
transmission in“N”(Neutral). Turn off the
ignition switch.
WARNING
Turn off the ignition on both vehicles
beforehand. Take care to make sure
that the cables or your clothes do not
get caught by the fan or drive belt.
Personal injury could result.
NOTE
Turn off all lamps, heater and other elec-
trical loads. This will avoid sparks and help
save both batteries.3. Make sure that the battery electrolyte is
at the proper level.
Refer to“Battery”on page 9-6.
WARNING
If the electrolyte fluid is not visible, or
appears to be frozen, Do Not Attempt
Jump Starting!
A battery might rupture or explode if
the temperature is below the freez-
ing point or if it is not filled to the
proper level.

4. Connect one end of one jumper cable to
the positive (+) terminal of the dis-
charged battery, and the other end to
the positive (+) terminal of the booster
battery.
5. Connect one end of the other jumper
cable to the negative (-) terminal of the
booster battery, and the other end to the
engine block of the vehicle with the dis-
charged battery at the point farthest from
the battery.
NOTE
Remove the cover before connecting the
jumper cable to the positive terminal of the
battery.

(1) Select engine oil of the proper SAE vis-
cosity number according to the atmo-
spheric temperature.
(2) Use engine oil conforming to the fol-
lowing classification:
•ACEA classification:
“For service B1, B2, B3 or B4”
•API classification:
“For service CD”or higher
NOTE
Use of additives is not recommended since
they may reduce the effectiveness of addi-
tives already included in the engine oil. It
may result in failure of the mechanical
assembly.

Automatic transmission fluid*
EM05AEVa
The proper amount of automatic transmis-
sion fluid is essential to the life and opera-
tion of the automatic transmission. Either
insufficient fluid or excessive fluid could
cause transmission trouble. The transmis-
sion fluid filler port cap is equipped with a
dipstick. Use the following procedure to
check the fluid level.
1. Check the fluid level after the vehicle
has been driven enough to warm up the
transmission fluid.
2. Park the vehicle on a flat, level sur-
face and apply the parking brake.
3. With the engine idling and the brake
pedal fully depressed, move the trans-
mission selector lever through all the
positions from the“P”(PARK) to“D”
(DRIVE), stopping momentarily at each
position.4. Move the selector lever to the“N”
(NEUTRAL) or“P”(PARK) position.
5. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a
clean lint-free cloth.
6. Reinsert the dipstick as far as it goes.
7. Remove dipstick and read the oil level.
The fluid level should always be
between the two marks on the dip-
stick.
8. Use only the following transmission fluid
to ensure optimum transmission
performance:
“DIA QUEEN ATF SP III”.
WARNING
Do not spill the fluid onto a hot
exhaust manifold during topping up
or inspection, or a fire may occur.
