If The Vehicle Breaks Down; If The Operation Mode Cannot Be Changed To Off (Vehicles Equipped With The F.a.s.t.-Key); Jump-Starting The Engine - Mitsubishi MOTORS Outlander Sport 2019 Owner's Manual

If the vehicle breaks down

If the vehicle breaks down
If your vehicle breaks down on the road,
move to the shoulder and turn on the hazard
warning flashers. If there is no shoulder, or
the shoulder is not safe, drive in the right lane
slowly, with the hazard lights flashing, until
you come to a safe stopping place. Keep the
flashers flashing.
If the engine stops/fails
8
If the engine stops, there will be no power
assist to the steering and brakes, making these
difficult to use.
 The brake booster will not work, so the
brakes will not grip well. The brake pedal
will be harder to press than usual.
 Since there is no power steering assist, the
steering wheel will be hard to turn.
When the engine fails at the
intersection
Get help from your passengers, bystanders,
etc. to push the vehicle and move it to a safe
zone.
8-2 For emergencies
If the operation mode can-
not be changed to OFF
N00836300187
(vehicles equipped with the
F.A.S.T.-key)
If the operation mode cannot be changed to
OFF, perform the following procedure.
1. Move the selector lever to the "P"
(PARK) position, and then change the
operation mode to OFF.
2. One of the other causes could be low bat-
tery voltage. If this occurs, the keyless
entry system and the F.A.S.T.-key opera-
tion will also not operate. Contact an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.

Jump-starting the engine

If the engine cannot be started because the
battery is weak or dead, you can start it with
the battery from another vehicle using jumper
cables.
WARNING
 When using jumper cables to start a vehi-
cle, follow the procedures and be very cau-
tious.
CAUTION
 Do not try to start your vehicle by pushing or
towing. Vehicles with automatic transaxles
cannot be started this way. Also, there is
more risk of an accident when a vehicle is
being pushed or towed.

1. Take off any metal jewelry such as watch
bands or bracelets that might make an
accidental electrical contact.
2. Position the vehicles close enough
together so that the jumper cables can
reach, but be sure the vehicles aren't
touching each other.
CAUTION
 Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-
volt battery. If the other system isn't 12-volt,
both systems can be damaged.
3. You could be injured if the vehicles move.

cle. Put an automatic transaxle or CVT in

4. Turn the ignition switch to the "OFF"
position or put the operation mode in
OFF.
