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 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.

When the engine has overheated, the infor-
mation screen in the multi-information dis-
play will be interrupted and the engine
coolant temperature warning display will
appear. The screen will then change to the
engine coolant temperature display screen
and “ ” will flash. 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 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 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 graph
stays 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. Any
leak source must be repaired.
7. If there is no obvious leak source, check
the coolant level in the reserve tank. If
there is none, or if it is too low, slowly add
coolant.
8. If the reserve tank needs coolant, you will
probably also need to add coolant to the
radiator. Do not loosen or remove the
radiator cap until the engine has cooled
down.
 Remove all the caps before charging the
battery.
 Electrolyte (battery acid) is corrosive
diluted sulphuric acid. If electrolyte comes
in contact with your hands, eyes, clothes,
or the painted surface of your vehicle,
thoroughly flush with water. If electrolyte
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.

brakes
WARNING
Engine overheating
WARNING
 To avoid personal injury, keep hands, hair,
jewelry and clothes away from the cooling
fan. The cooling fan can start at any time.
WARNING
 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.
