My daughter has a '00 Mirage. She got new tires and a new battery today. Tech had a hard time starting it after new battery installed. Said it was because the computer "forgot" settings and that Mitsus are known for this. I've had the cables off each year to clean the terminals and this never happened before. Could it be that the battery was disconnected for a longer period that this occurred? I've had batteries out of my wife's Camry and my Eldo for longer periods with nothing more than the radio and clock losing settings. Is this something peculiar to Mitsus as the tech stated? TIA DFB
