Engine Overheating - Mitsubishi LANCER Owner's Manual

As your vehicle has anti-lock brakes
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.

Engine overheating

When the engine has overheated, the information screen in the
multi-information display 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 warn-
ing 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 facility of
your choice for assistance.
WARNING
!
To avoid personal injury, keep hands, hair, jewelry
and clothes away from the cooling fan. The cooling
fan can start at any time.
4. If you see steam or spray coming from under the hood,
turn off the engine.
