NOTE●When you transfer ownership of the vehicle to some other
person, we urge you to alert the new owner that it is
equipped with the SRS and refer that owner to the applica-
ble section in this owner’s manual.

WARNING
!●We recommend any maintenance performed on or

could result in inadvertent deployment of the air
bags, or could render the SRS inoperative; either
situation could result in serious injury.●Do not modify your steering wheel, seat belt retrac-
tor or any other SRS components. For example,
replacement of the steering wheel, or modifications
to the front bumper or body structure can adversely
affect SRS performance and lead to possible injury.●If your vehicle has received any damage, we recom-
mend you to have the SRS inspected to ensure it is in
proper working order.●Do not modify your front seats, centre pillar and
centre console.
It can adversely affect SRS performance and lead to
possible injury.
Also, if you have found any tear or open seam in the
seat fabric at the portion near the side air bag, we
recommend you to have the seat inspected.●If you have found any scratch, crack or damage to
the portion of the front and rear pillars and roof side
rail, you should have the SRS inspected by a MIT-
SUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.

Waxing
E00901000339
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 sunlight. You should wax
after the surfaces have cooled.
Polishing
E00901100011
The vehicle should only be polished if the paintwork has
become stained or lost its lustre. Matt-finish parts and plastic
bumpers must not be polished, polishing these parts will stain
them or damage their finish.Damaged paint
E00901200012
Small cracks and scratches in the paint coat should be touched
up as soon as possible with MITSUBISHI touch-up paint to
prevent corrosion.
Check body areas facing the road or the tyres carefully for
damage to the paint coat caused by flying stones, etc. The paint
code number for your vehicle can be found on the vehicle
information code plate in the engine compartment.Cleaning plastic parts
E00901300417
Use a sponge or chamois leather.
If a car wax adheres on a grey or black rough surface of the
bumper, moulding or lamps, the surface becomes white. In
such a case, wipe it off using lukewarm water and soft cloth or
chamois leather.
CAUTION
!●Waxes containing high abrasive compounds should
not be used. Such waxes remove rust and stain effec-
tively from the paintwork but they are harmful to
the lustre of the painted surface.
Further, they are harmful to glossy surfaces such as
grille, garnish, mouldings, etc.●Do not use petrol or paint thinners to remove road
tar or other contamination to the vehicle surface.●Do not apply wax on the areas having black mat
coating as it can cause uneven discolouration,
patches, blurs, etc. If stained with wax, immediately
wipe off with a piece of soft cloth and warm water.●On vehicles with the sunroof, be careful when wax-
ing the area around the sunroof opening, not to put
any wax on the weatherstrip (black rubber). If
stained with wax, the weatherstrip cannot maintain
a weatherproof seal with the sunroof.
CAUTION
!●Do not use a scrubbing brush or other hard tools as
they may damage the plastic part surface.●Do not use wax containing compound (polishing
powder) which may damage the plastic part surface.
