installed properly into the vehicle, even if
it is the same type. Be sure to have a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point replace the battery.
l
Do not try to start your vehicle by push-
ing or towing.
Especially for Twin Clutch SST vehicles,
since their structure is different from ve-
hicles with a manual transmission, the
engine will not start using this method.
