Adequate care of your vehicle at regular
intervals serves to preserve the value and
appearance as long as possible.
Some maintenance items can be carried
out by the owner (do it yourself), while oth-
ers should be carried out by an autho-
rized MITSUBISHI dealer (periodic
inspection and maintenance). This sec-
tion describes only those items which can
be carried out by the owner. In the event a
malfunction or other problem is discov-
ered, have it corrected by an authorized
MITSUBISHI dealer. This section con-
tains information on inspection mainte-
nance procedures that you can do yourself,
if you wish to do so. Follow the instruc-
tions and cautions for each of the various
procedures.
WARNING
(1) When checking or servicing the
inside of the engine compart-
ment, make sure the engine is
switched off and has had a
chance to cool down.
(2) If it is necessary to do work in
the engine compartment with the
engine running, be especially
careful that your clothing, hair,
etc., does not become caught by
the fan, drive belts, or other
moving parts.
(3) Do not smoke, cause sparks or
allow open flames around fuel or
battery. The fumes are flam-
mable.
(4) Be extremely cautious when
working around the battery. It
contains poisonous and corro-
sive sulphuric acid.
(5) Do not get under your vehicle
with just the body jack support-
ing it. Always use automotive
jack stands.
(6) Improper handling of compo-
nents and materials used in the
vehicle can endanger your per-
sonal safety.
Consult an authorized
MITSUBISHI dealer for neces-
sary information.

EM03A-Ja
The engine oil used has a significant effect
on the engine’s performance, service life
and startability. Be sure to use oil of the
recommended quality and appropriate vis-
cosity.
All engines consume a certain amount of
oil during normal operation (See note
below). Therefore, it is important to check
the oil at regular intervals or before start-
ing a long journey.
