This manual provides explanations, etc. concerning
procedures for the inspection, maintenance, repair
and servicing of the subject model. Unless otherwise
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 des-
ignations is covered in this manual under "VEHICLE
IDENTIFICATION."
.
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
The "ON-VEHICLE SERVICE" section has proce-
dures for performing inspections and adjustments of
particularly important components. These proce-
dures are done with regard to maintenance and ser-
vicing, but other inspections (looseness, play,
cracking, damage, etc.) must also be performed.
.
SERVICE PROCEDURES
The service steps are arranged in numerical order.
Attention to be paid in performing vehicle service are
described in detail in SERVICE POINTS.
DEFINITION OF TERMS
.
STANDARD VALUE
Indicates the value used as the standard for judging
whether or not a part or adjustment is correct.
.
LIMIT
Shows the maximum or minimum value for judging
whether or not a part or adjustment is acceptable.
.
REFERENCE VALUE
Indicates 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).
.
DANGER, WARNING, AND CAUTION
DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION call special
attention to a necessary action or to an action that
must be avoided. The differences among DANGER,

If a DANGER is not followed, the result is severe
bodily harm or even death.
If a WARNING is not followed, the result could be
bodily injury.
If a CAUTION is not followed, the result could be
damage to the vehicle, vehicle components or
service equipment.
TIGHTENING TORQUE INDICATION
The tightening torque indicates a median and its tol-
erance by a unit of N
m (in-lb.) or Nm (ft.-lb.). For
fasteners with no assigned torque value, refer to
P.00-32.
SPECIAL TOOL NOTE
Only MMC special tool part numbers are called out in
the repair sections of this manual. Please refer to the
special tool cross-reference chart located at the
beginning of each group, for the special tool number
that is available in your market.

TOWING AND HOISTINGM1001000800380
TOWING THE VEHICLE BY A TOW TRUCK
.
This vehicle cannot be towed by a tow truck using
sling-type equipment (TYPE A) as illustrated; otherwise it
will damage the bumper and front end. If this vehicle is
towed, use wheel lift or flat bed equipment.
If the transmission is malfunctioning or damaged,
transport the vehicle with the driving wheels on a car-
riage (TYPE C, D or E) as illustrated.
If you tow the vehicles with an A/T with the driving
wheels on the ground (TYPE B) as illustrated, make
sure that the towing speed and distance given below
are never exceeded, causing damage to the transmis-
sion.
Towing speed: 50km/h
Towing distance: 30km
For the towing speed and the towing distance, follow
the local driving laws and regulations.
.
TOWING WITH FRONT WHEELS OFF THE
GROUND (TYPE C)
The vehicle may be towed on its rear wheels for extended dis-
tances provided the parking brake is released and gearshift
lever is in the "Neutral" position (M/T) or the selector lever is in
the "N" (NEUTRAL) position (A/T). It is recommended that vehi-
cles be towed using the front pickup whenever possible.
[For vehicles equipped with the traction control system
(TCL)]
If the vehicle is towed with the ignition key in the "ON"
position and only the front wheels or only the rear
wheels raised of the ground, a malfunction may occur
in the device
.

TOWING AND HOISTING
GENERAL00-27
TOWING WITH REAR WHEELS OFF THE
GROUND (TYPE B)
Place the gearshift lever in the "Neutral" position (M/T) or the
selector lever in the "N" (NEUTRAL) position (A/T). Turn the
ignition key to the "ACC" position and secure the steering
wheel in a straight-ahead position with a rope or tie-down strap.
Never place the ignition key in the "LOCK" position when tow-
ing.
Never tow an A/T vehicle with the rear wheels up (and
the front wheels on the ground) when the automatic
transmission fluid level is low. this may cause serious
and expensive damage to the transmission.
Do not use the steering column lock to secure the front
wheels for towing.
Make sure the transaxle is in Neutral if vehicle will have
drive wheels on the ground.
If these requirements 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 avail-
able, the vehicle may be lifted and towed from the front, pro-
vided the parking brake is released. If not released, the rear
wheels should be placed on a tow dolly.
.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The following precautions should be taken when towing the
vehicle:
1. DO NOT LIFT OR TOW THE VEHICLE BY ATTACHING
TO OR WRAPPING AROUND THE BUMPER.
2. Any loose, protruding, or damaged parts such as hoods,
doors, fenders, trim, etc. should be secured or removed
prior to moving the vehicle.

Engine Oil Filter Selection
This vehicle is equipped with a full-flow, throw-away oil filter.
The same type of filter is recommended as a replacement filter
for this vehicle. It is possible, particularly in cold weather, that
this vehicle may develop high oil pressure for a short duration.
Make sure that any replacement filter used on this vehicle is a
high-quality filter. The filter must withstand a pressure of 1,800
kPa (261 psi) [manufacturer's specifications] to avoid filter and
ultimately engine damage. The Genuine Mitsubishi high-quality
filter and is strongly recommended for use on this vehicle.
Any replacement oil filter should be installed in accordance with
the oil filter manufacturer's installation instructions.
.
Oil Filter Replacement
Use care as oil could be hot.
1. Drain the engine oil by removing the oil drain plug.
2. Use an oil filter wrench to remove the engine oil filter.
3. Clean the filter bracket side mounting surface and ensure
the old O-ring has been removed.
4. Apply a small amount of engine oil to the O-ring of the new
oil filter.
5. Where the oil filter O-ring touches the oil pan flange, tighten
the oil filter to the specified torque using the
commercially-available tool.
Tightening torque:
: Approximately 3/4 turn [14
2 Nm]
6. Add new engine oil through the oil filler.
