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 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. 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 engine coolant
reserve tank. If there is none, or if it is too
low, slowly add coolant.
8. If the engine coolant 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.
9. Start the engine, and slowly add coolant,
up to the bottom of the filler neck. Use
plain water if you have to (and replace it
with the right coolant as soon as possible).

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.
WARNING
Removing the radiator cap could scald
you with escaping hot water or steam.
When checking the radiator level, cover
the cap with a cloth before trying to
remove it. Turn it slowly counterclock-
wise, without pressing down, to the first
notch. The pressure in the system will then
be let out. When the pressure is COM-
PLETELY LET OUT, press down and
keep turning the cap counterclockwise
until it comes off.
