Service precautionsE01000100706
Adequate  care  of  your  vehicle  at  regular  intervals
serves to preserve the value and appearance as long
as possible.
Maintenance items as described in this owner’s man-
ual can be performed by the owner.
We recommend you to have the periodic inspection
and  maintenance  performed  by  a  MITSUBISHI
MOTORS  Authorized Service Point or another spe-
cialist.
In  the  event  a  malfunction  or  other  problem  is  dis-
covered,  we  recommend  you  to  have  it  checked
and  repaired.  This  section  contains  information  on
inspection maintenance procedures that you can do
yourself.  Follow  the  instructions  and  cautions  for
each of the various procedures.WARNINGl When  checking  or  servicing  the  inside  of
the  engine  compartment,  make  sure  the
engine  is  switched  off  and  has  had  a
chance to cool down.
l 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  fans,
drive belts, or other moving parts.
l For  vehicle  with  air  conditioning,  the  fan
may turn on automatically even if the en-
gine  is  not  running;  turn  the  ignition  key
to  “LOCK”  position  and  remove  the  key
to ensure safety while you work in the en-
gine compartment.WARNINGl Do not smoke, cause sparks or allow open
flames  around  fuel  or  battery.  The  fumes
are flammable.
l Be  extremely  cautious  when  working
around  the  battery.  It  contains  poisonous
and corrosive sulphuric acid.
l Do  not  get  under  your  vehicle  with  just
the  body  jack  supporting  it.  Always  use
automotive jack stands.
l Improper  handling  of  components  and
materials  used  in  the  vehicle  can  endan-
ger  your  personal  safety.  We  recommend
you to consult a specialist for necessary in-
formation.Catalytic converter E01000200925
For ordinary use, there are no particular precautions.
The  exhaust  gas  scavenging  devices  used  with  the
catalytic converter are extremely efficient for the re-
duction of noxious gases. The catalytic converter is
installed in the exhaust system.
It is important to keep the engine properly tuned to
ensure proper catalyst operation and prevent possi-
ble catalyst damage.CAUTIONl Damage to the catalytic converter can re-
sult  if  your  vehicle  is  not  kept  in  proper
operating condition. In the event of an en-
gine  malfunction  particularly  involving
engine  misfire  or  other  apparent  loss  of
performance,  have  your  vehicle  serviced
promptly.
Continued  operation  of  your  vehicle  with
a  severe  overheated  condition  may  result
in  possible  damage  to  the  converter  and
vehicle.WARNINGl As with any vehicle, do not park or oper-
ate  this  vehicle  in  areas  where  combusti-
ble  materials  such  as  dry  grass  or  leaves
can  come  in  contact  with  a  hot  exhaust
since a fire could occur.
l Paint should not be applied to the catalyt-
ic converter.
