MAINTENANCE 321 BATTERY The condition of the battery is very important for quick starting and to keep the vehicle's electrical system working properly. Check the battery regularly. If battery performance is suspect, have the battery and charging system tested by an authorized Mitsubishi dealer. NOTE (1) After replacing the battery, the electronic control system data for the automatic transaxle, etc., will be erased. As a result, shifting may be rough. Shifting will become smoother after several changes in speed. (2) Memory data for settings made by the user may be erased when the battery is replaced. If this happens, establish the settings again using the relevant procedures. Checking battery electrolyte level Use the following procedure to check the battery electrolyte level. Open the lid on the battery cover (if so equipped). NOTE: Be sure to close the battery cover after checking the battery fluid level and after replacing the battery. 9
