MAINTENANCE
EM01A-Hh
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
others should be carried out by an author-
ized MITSUBISHI dealer (periodic inspec-
tion and maintenance). This section de-
scribes only those items which can be car-
ried out by the owner. In the event a
malfunction or other problem is disco-
vered, have it corrected by an authorized
MITSUBISHI dealer. This section contains
information on inspection maintenance
procedures that you can do yourself, if you
wish to do so. Follow the instructions and
cautions for each of the various proce-
dures.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 espe-
cially 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 cor-
rosive 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
personal safety.
Consult an authorized MITSU-
BISHI dealer for necessary infor-
mation.
Engine oilEM03A-Dh
The engine oil used has a significant effect
on the engine’s performance, service life
and startability. Only use oil of the recom-
mended quality and appropriate viscosity.
All engines consume a certain amount of
oil during normal operation (See note be-
low). It is important, therefore to check the
oil at regular intervals or before starting a
long journey.
