c;SCOPE OF MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND
DEFINITION OF TERMS
SERVICING EXPLANATIONSSTANDARD VALUE
bThis manual provides explanations, etc. concerning
procedures for the inspection, maintenance, repair
and servicing of the subject model. Unless other-
wise specified, each service procedure covers all
models. Procedures covering specific models are
identified by the model codes, or similar designation
(engine type, transaxle type, etc.). A description of
these designations is covered in this unit under
“VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION”.
SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES“Service Adjustment Procedures” are procedures
for performing inspections and adjustments of
particularly important locations with regard to the
construction and for maintenance and servicing, but
other inspections (for looseness, play, cracking,
damage, etc.) must also be performed.
SERVICE PROCEDURESThe service steps are arranged in numerical order
and attentions to be paid in performing vehicle
service are described in detail in SERVICE POINTS.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Troubleshootings are classified into master trouble-
shooting and group troubleshooting and located as
follows:
The master troubleshooting is prepared when the
trouble symptom relates to two or more groups and
given in MASTER TROUBLESHOOTING.
The group troubleshooting guide is prepared for
causes of problems related to that individual groupIndicates the value used as the standard for judging
the quality of a part or assembly on inspection or the
value to which the part or assembly is corrected and
adjusted. It is given by tolerance.
LIMITShows the standard for judging the quality of a part
or assembly on inspection and means the maximum
or minimum value within which the part or assembly
must be kept functionally or in strength. It is a value
established outside the range of standard value.
REFERENCE VALUEIndicates the adjustment value prior to starting the
work (presented in order to facilitate assembly and
adjustment procedures, and so they can be com-
pleted in a shorter time).
CAUTIONIndicates the presentation of information particularly
vital to the worker during the performance of
maintenance’ and servicing procedures in order to
avoid the possibility of injury to the worker; or
damage to component
.parts, or a reduction of
component or vehicle function or performance, etc.
INDICATION OF TIGHTENING TORQUEThe tightening torque shown in this manual is a
basic value with a tolerance of
+lO% except the
following cases when the upper and lower limits of
tightening torque are given.
(1) The tolerance for the basic value is within
+ I no/-
only; a troubleshooting guide is prepared for eachI iv,“.appropriate group.(2) Special bolts or the like are in use.
(3) Special tighteningmethods are used.
MODEL INDICATIONS
The following abbreviations are used in this manual for classification of model types.M/T:Indicates the manual transaxle, or models equipped with the manual transaxle.
A/T:Indicates the automatic transaxle, or models equipped with the automatic transaxle.
MPI: Indicates the multi-point injection, or engines equipped with the multi-point injection.
Turbo: Indicates an engine with turbocharger, or a model equipped with such an engine.
Non-Turbo: Indicates an engine without turbocharger, or a model equipped with such an engine.
FWD: Indicates the front wheel drive vehicles.
AWD; Indicates the all wheel drive vehicles.
ABS:Indicates the anti-lock braking system or models equipped with the anti-lock braking system.
ECS: Indicates the electronic control suspension or models equipped with the electronic control
suspension.
4WS:Indicates the 4-wheel steering system or models .equipped with the 4-wheel steering system.

THEFT PROTECTION.MOOCIACIn order to protect against theft, a Vehicle Identification
Number
(VIN) is stamped in, or attached as a label to, the
following major parts of the engine and transaxle, as well as
main outer panels:
Engine cylinder block, Transaxle housing, Fender, Door, Quar-
ter panel, Hood, Liftgate, Bumpers
In addition, a theft-protection label is attached
to‘ replacement
parts for the body outer panel main components, and the same
data are stamped into replacement parts for the engine and the
transaxle.
Cautions regarding panel repairs
1. When repainting original parts, do so after first mask-
ing the theft-protection label, and, after painting, be
sure to peel off the masking tape.
2. The theft-protection label for replacement parts is
covered by masking tape, so such parts can be paintedas is. The masking tape should be removed after
painting is finished.
3.The theft-protection label should not be removed fromoriginal parts or replacement parts.

Caution
\‘i
d
This vehicle cannot be towed by a wrecker using sling-typeequipment to prevent the bumper from deformation.
If this vehicle is towed, use wheel lift or flat bed equip-
ment.The vehicle may be towed on its rear wheels for extended
distances provided the parking brake is released. It is recom-
mended that vehicles be towed using the front pickup
whenever possible.
REAR TOWING PICKUP
Caution
This vehicle cannot be towed by a wrecker using sling-typeequipment to prevent the bumper from deformation.
If this vehicle is towed, use wheel lift or flat bed equip-
\
ment.‘L*3Manual transaxle vehicles may be towed on the front wheels,
provided the transaxle is in neutral and the drive-line has not
been damaged. The steering wheel must be clamped in the
straight-ahead position with a steering wheel clamping device
designed for towing service use.
CautionDo not use steering column lock to secure front wheel
position for towing.
Automatic transaxle vehicle may be towed on the front wheels
at speeds not to exceed 50 km/h (30 mph) for a distances not to
exceed 30 km (18 miles).
CautionIf these limits cannot be met, the front wheels must be
placed on a tow dolly.
TOWING WHEN KEYS ARE NOT AVAILABLE
When a locked vehicle must be towed and keys are not
available, the vehicle may be lifted and towed from the front,
provided the parking brake is released. If not released, the rear
wheels should be placed on a tow dolly.

-35 Nm (22
- 25 ft.lbs.).
(6) Clean both gasket surfaces of transaxle case and oil pan.
(7) Install oil pan with new gasket and tighten oil pan bolts to
10 - 12 Nm (7.5 - 8.5 ft.lbs.).
(8) Pour 4.5 liters (4.8 qts.) of specified ATF into case through
dipstick hole. [Total quantity of ATF required is approx. 7.5
liters (7.9 qts.). Actually however, approx. 4.5 liters (4.8 qts.)
of fluid can be replaced because rest of fluid remains in
torque converter.]
Specified fluid: Dia ATF SP or MITSUBISHI PLUS ATF or
equivalent(9) Start engine and allow to idle for at least two minutes.
Then, with parking brake on, move selector lever momen-
tarily to each position, ending in “N” Neutral position.
(lO)Add sufficient ATF to bring fluid level to lower mark.
Recheck fluid level after transaxle is at normal operating
temperature. Fluid level should be between upper and
lower marks of “HOT” range. Insert dipstick fully to prevent
dirt from entering transaxle.
