Cleaning the outside of your
vehicle
EK28A-Ah
If the following is left on your vehicle, it may
cause corrosion, discolouration and stains,
wash the vehicle as soon as possible.
•Seawater, anti-freeze for road use.
•Soot and dust, iron powder from facto-
ries, chemical substance (acids, alkalis,
coal-tar, etc.).
•Droppings from birds, carcasses of
insects, tree sap, etc.
Washing
EK22ABZa
Chemicals contained in the dirt and dust
picked up from the road surface can dam-
age the paint coat and body of your vehicle
if left in prolonged contact.
Frequent washing and waxing is the best
way to protect your vehicle from this dam-
age. This will also be effective in protect-
ing it from environmental elements such as
rain, snow, salt air, etc.
Do not wash the vehicle in direct sun-
light. Park the vehicle in the shade and
spray it with water to remove dust. Next,
using an ample amount of clean water and
a car washing brush or sponge, wash the
vehicle from top to bottom.
Use a mild car washing soap if neces-
sary. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a
soft cloth. After washing the vehicle, care-
fully clean the joints and flanges of the
doors, bonnet, etc., where dirt is likely to
remain.
CAUTION
(1) When washing the under side of
your vehicle or wheel, wear a
pair of rubber gloves.
CAUTION
(2) Refrain from using a car wash as
its brushes may scratch the
paint surface, causing it to lose
its gloss.
Scratches will be especially vis-
ible on darker coloured vehicles.
(3) Never spray or splash water on
the electrical components in the
engine compartment, as this
may adversely affect engine
starting.
Exercise caution also when
washing the underbody; be care-
ful not to spray water into the
engine compartment.
(4) Some types of hot water wash-
ing equipment apply high pres-
sure and heat to the vehicle.
They may cause heat distor-
tion and damage to the vehicle
resin parts and may result in
flooding of the vehicle interior.
Therefore, observe the following.
•Maintain a good distance of
approx. 40 cm or more between
the vehicle body and the wash-
ing nozzle.
•When washing around the door
glass, hold the nozzle at a dis-
tance of more than 50 cm and at
right angles to the glass surface.

CAUTION
(5) Using an automatic car wash,
pay attention to the following
items, referring to the opera-
tion manual or consulting a car
wash operator. If the follow-
ings are not followed, it could
result in damage to your vehicle.
•The outside mirrors are
retracted.
•The rear wiper arm assembly is
taped or removed.
•If your vehicle is equipped with
a rear deflector or roof rails,
consult a car wash operator
before using the car wash.During cold weather
The salt and other chemicals spread on the
roads in some areas in winter can have a
harmful effect on the vehicle body. You
should therefore wash the vehicle as often
as possible in accordance with our
care-instructions. It is recommended to
have a preservative applied and the under-
floor protection checked at an authorized
MITSUBISHI dealer before and after the
cold weather season.
After washing your vehicle, wipe off all
waterdrops from the rubber parts around
the doors to prevent the doors from freez-
ing.
NOTE
To prevent freezing of the weatherstrip-
ping on the doors, bonnet, etc., they should
be treated with silicone spray.
Waxing
EK33A-N
Waxing the vehicle will help prevent the
adherence of dust and road chemicals to
the paintwork. Apply a wax solution after
washing the vehicle, or at least once every
three months to assist displacing of water.
Do not wax your vehicle in direct sun-
light. You should wax after the surfaces
have cooled.
CAUTION
(1) Waxes containing high abra-
sive compounds should not be
used. Such waxes remove rust
and stain effectively from the
paintwork but they are harmful
to the lustre of the painted sur-
face.
Further, they are harmful to
glossy surfaces such as grille,
garnish, mouldings, etc.
(2) Do not use petrol or paint thin-
ners to remove road tar or other
contamination to the painted
surface.
(3) Do not apply wax on the areas
having black mat coating as it
can cause uneven discoloura-
tion, patches, blurs, etc. If
stained with wax, immediately
wipe off with a piece of soft cloth
and warm water.
(4) On vehicles with the sunroof, be
careful when waxing the area
around the sunroof opening, not
to put any wax on the weather-
strip (black rubber). If stained
with wax, the weatherstrip can-
not maintain a weatherproof seal
with the sunroof.
