Battery

The electrolyte level must be between the
specified limit on the outside of the battery.
Replenish with distilled water as necessary.
The inside of the battery is divided into sev-
eral compartments; remove the cap from each
compartment and fill to the upper mark. Do
not top up beyond the upper mark because
spillage during driving could cause damage.
Check the electrolyte level at least once every
four weeks, depending on the operating con-
ditions.
If the battery is not used, it will discharge by
itself with time. Check it once every four
weeks and charge with low current as neces-
sary.
The capacity of the battery is reduced at low
temperatures. This is an inevitable result of
its chemical and physical properties. This is
why a very cold battery, particularly one that
is not fully charged, will only deliver a frac-
tion of the starter current which is normally
available.
It is recommended that you have the battery
checked by an authorised MITSUBISHI
MOTORS dealer before the start of cold
weather and, if necessary, have it charged.
This does not only ensure reliable starting,
but a battery which is kept fully charged also
has a longer life.
To disconnect the battery cable, stop the
engine, first disconnect the negative (
− ) ter-
minal and then the positive (+) terminal.
When connecting the battery, first connect the
positive (+) terminal and then the negative
(
− ) terminal.
 Explosive gas
The battery emits highly explosive hydro-
gen gas. Ventilate when charging the bat-
tery in an enclosed space.
 Keep away from children
Keep it out of reach of children.

Disconnection and connection
NOTE
 Open the terminal cover (A) before discon-
necting or connecting the positive (+) termi-
nal of the battery.
 Loosen the nut (B), and then disconnect the
battery cable from the positive (+) terminal.
WARNING
 Keep sparks, cigarettes, and flames away
from the battery because the battery could
explode.
