NOTE
l If
genuine leather
is wet with water or is wash-
ed in water, wipe off water as quickly as pos-
sible with a dry, soft cloth. If left damp, mil-
dew may grow.
l The genuine leather surface may be damaged
if a nylon brush or synthetic fibre is rubbed
hard against it.
l Organic solvents such as benzine, kerosene,
alcohol and petrol, acid or alkaline solvents
may discolour the genuine leather surface.
Be sure to use neutral detergents.
l Remove dirty patches or oil substances quick-
ly as they can stain genuine leather.
l The genuine leather surface may harden and
shrink if it is exposed to direct sun for long
hours. When your vehicle is parked, place it
in the shade as much as possible.
l When the temperature of the vehicle interior
rises in summer, vinyl products left on the
genuine leather seat may deteriorate and
stick to the seat. Cleaning the exterior of your
vehicle E00900700195
If the
following
is left on your vehicle, it may
cause corrosion, discolouration and stains, wash
the vehicle as soon as possible.
l Seawater, road deicing products.
l Soot and dust, iron powder from factories,
chemical substance (acids, alkalis, coal-tar,
etc.).
l Droppings from birds, carcasses of insects,
tree sap, etc.
Washing E00900901875
Chemicals contained in the dirt and dust picked up
from the road

surface can damage the paint coat
and body of your vehicle if left in prolonged contact.
Frequent washing and waxing is the best way to pro-
tect your vehicle from this damage. This will also
be effective in protecting it from environmental el-
ements such as rain, snow, salt air, etc.
Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight. Park the
vehicle in the shade and spray it with water to re-
move 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 necessary. Rinse
thoroughly and wipe dry with a soft cloth. After
washing the vehicle, carefully clean the joints and
flanges of the doors, bonnet, etc., where dirt is like-
ly to remain. CAUTION
l
When washing the
under side of your ve-
hicle or wheel, be careful not to injure
your hands.
l If your vehicle has rain sensor wipers,
place the wiper switch lever in the “OFF”
position to deactivate the rain sensor be-
fore washing the vehicle. Otherwise, the
wipers will operate in the presence of wa-
ter spray on the windscreen and may get
damaged as a result.
l Refrain from excessively using a car wash
as its brushes may scratch the paint sur-
face, causing it to lose its gloss.
Scratches will be especially visible on
darker coloured vehicles.
l Never spray or splash water on the electri-
cal components in the engine compart-
ment, as this may adversely affect engine
starting.
Exercise caution also when washing the
underbody; be careful not to spray water
into the engine compartment.
l Some types of hot water washing equip-
ment apply high pressure and heat to the
vehicle. They may cause heat distortion
and damage to the vehicle resin parts and
may result in flooding of the vehicle inte-
rior. Therefore;
• Maintain a distance of approx. 50 cmor more between the vehicle body and
the washing nozzle.
• When washing around the door glass, hold the nozzle at a distance of more
than 50 cm and at right angles to the
glass surface. Vehicle care

CAUTION
l
Do not use a scrubbing brush or other
hard tools as they may damage the plastic
part surface.
l Do not use wax containing compound (pol-
ishing powder) which may damage the
plastic part surface.
l Do not bring the plastic parts into contact
with petrol, light oil, brake fluids, engine
oils, greases, paint thinners, and sulphu-
ric acid (battery electrolyte) which may
crack, stain or discolour the plastic parts.
If they touch the plastic parts, wipe them
off with soft cloth, chamois or the like
and an aqueous solution of neutral deter-
gent then immediately rinse the affected
parts with water.
Chrome parts E00901400115
In order to prevent spots and corrosion of chrome
parts, wash with

water, dry thoroughly, and apply a
special protective coating. This should be done
more frequently in winter.
Aluminium wheels* E00901500321
1. Remove dirt using a sponge while sprinkling
water on the wheel.
2. Use

neutral detergent on any dirt that cannot
be removed easily with water.
Rinse off the neutral detergent after washing
the wheel.
3. Dry the vehicle thoroughly using a chamois leather or a soft cloth. CAUTION
l
Do not use
a brush or other hard imple-
ment on the wheels.
Doing so could scratch the wheels.
l Do not use any cleaner that contains an
abrasive substance or is acidic or alka-
line. Doing so could cause the coating on
the wheels to peel or become discoloured
or stained.
l Do not directly apply hot water using a
steam cleaner or by any other means.
l Contact with seawater and road deicer
can cause corrosion. Rinse off such sub-
stances as soon as possible.
Window glass E00901600032
The window glass can normally be cleaned using
only a sponge and water.
Glass cleaner can

be used to remove oil, grease,
dead insects, etc. After washing the glass, wipe dry
with a clean, dry, soft cloth. Never use the same
cloth to wipe the window glass as would be used to
wipe the paintwork; wax from the painted surfaces
could adhere to the glass and reduce its transparen-
cy and visibility.
NOTE
l To clean the inside of the backdoor window,
always use a soft cloth and wipe the window
glass along the demister heater element so as
not to cause damage. Wiper blades
E00901700059
Use a soft cloth and glass cleaner to remove grease,
dead insects, etc.,

from the wiper blades. Replace
the wiper blades when they no longer wipe proper-
ly. (Refer to page 8-17.)
Cleaning the sunroof* E00901800180
Clean the inside of the sunroof with a soft cloth.
Hard deposits should

be wiped away with a cloth
dipped in warm, neutral detergent solution. Wipe
away the solution with a sponge dipped in fresh wa-
ter.
NOTE
l The surface treatment on the inside of the
glass may be removed if hard cloth or organ-
ic solvent (benzine, kerosene, thinner, etc.) is
used.
Engine compartment E00902100311
Clean the engine compartment at the beginning and
end of winter.

Pay particular attention to flanges,
crevices and peripheral parts where dust containing
road chemicals and other corrosive materials might
collect.
If salt and other chemicals are used on the roads in
your area, clean the engine compartment at least ev-
ery three months.
Never spray or splash water on the electrical com-
ponents in the engine compartment, as this may
cause damage.
Do not bring the nearby parts, the plastic parts and
so on into contact with sulphuric acid (battery elec-
trolyte) which may crack, stain or discolour them. Vehicle care

Wheel condition
E010018004781- Location of the tread wear indicator
2- Tread wear indicator
Check the
tyres for cuts, cracks and other damage.
Replace the tyres if there are deep cuts or cracks.
Also check each tyre for pieces of metal or pebbles.
The use of worn tyres can be very dangerous be-
cause of the greater chance of skidding or hydro-
planing. The tread depth of the tyres must exceed
1.6 mm in order for the tyres to meet the minimum
requirement for use.
Tread wear indicators will appear on the surface of
the tyre as the tyre wears, thereby indicating that
the tyre no longer meets the minimum requirement
for use. When these wear indicators appear, the
tyres must be replaced with new ones.
When replacement of any of the tyres is necessary,
replace all of them. CAUTION
l
Always use tyres
of the same size, same
type, and same brand, and which have no
wear differences.
Using tyres of different size, type, brands
or degree of wear, will increase the differ-
ential oil temperature, resulting in possi-
ble damage to the driving system. Fur-
ther, the drive train will be subjected to
excessive loading, possibly leading to oil
leakage, component seizure, or other seri-
ous faults.
Replacing tyres and wheels E01007200429 CAUTION
l
Avoid using different
size tyres from the
one listed and the combined use of differ-
ent types of tyres, as this can affect driv-
ing safety. Refer to “Tyres and wheels”
on page 9-12.
l Even if a wheel has the same rim size and
offset as the specified type of wheel, its
shape may prevent it from being fitted cor-
rectly. We recommend you to consult a
specialist before using wheels that you
have.
Wheel balance
On vehicles equipped

with 17x7 1/2J size alumini-
um wheels (round rim type), if you need to balance
a wheel, put the balance weight (A) on the speci-
fied position which is spoke side from the notch
(B) on the inner surface of the wheel. There is a possibility that the balance weight is in-
terfered the
related

brake part if it is put any place
other than the specified position.
For details, we recommend you to consult a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point. Tyre rotation
E01001901203
Tyre wear varies with vehicle conditions, road sur-
face conditions and

individual driver’s driving hab-
its. To equalize the wear and help extend tyre life,
it is recommended to rotate the tyres immediately
after discovery of abnormal wear, or whenever the
wear difference between the front and rear tyres is
recognizable. Maintenance
8-14

OBKE12E1

When rotating tyres, check for uneven wear and
damage. Abnormal wear
is usually caused by incor-
rect tyre pressure, improper wheel alignment, out
of balance wheel, or severe braking. We recom-
mend you to have it checked to determine the
cause of irregular tread wear.

*- If the spare tyre wheel differs from the stand-
ard tyre
wheel,

do not perform tyre rotation us-
ing a spare wheel. CAUTION
l
If the tyres
have arrows (A) indicating
the correct direction of rotation, swap the
front and rear wheels on the left hand
side of the vehicle and the front and rear
wheels on the right hand side of the vehi-
cle separately. Keep each tyre on its origi-
nal side of the vehicle. When fitting the
tyres, make sure the arrows point in the
direction in which the wheels will turn
when the vehicle moves forward. Any
tyre whose arrow points in the wrong di-
rection will not perform to its full poten-
tial.
Front CAUTION
l
Avoid the
combined
use of different types
of tyres.
Using different types of tyres can affect ve-
hicle performance and safety. Snow tyres
E01002000523
The use of

snow tyres is recommended for driving
on snow and ice. To preserve driving stability,
mount snow tyres of the same size and tread pat-
tern on all 4 wheels.
Snow tyres worn more than 50% are no longer suit-
able for use as snow tyres.
Snow tyres which do not meet specifications must
not be used. CAUTION
l
Observe permissible
maximum
speed for
your snow tyres and the legal speed limit.
NOTE l The
laws and

regulations concerning snow
tyres (driving speed, required use, type, etc.)
vary. Find out and follow the laws and regu-
lations in the area you intend to drive.
l If flange nuts are used on your vehicle,
change to tapered nuts when steel wheels are
used.
Tyre chains E01002101794
On 4WD vehicles in which the driving power is dis-
tributed preferentially to

the rear wheels, ensure
that the tyre chains are fitted on the rear in accord-
ance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Use only tyre chains which are designed for use
with the tyres mounted on the vehicle: use of the in-
correct size or type of chain could result in damage
to the vehicle body.
Before fitting tyre chains, we recommend you to
consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point. The max. chain height is as follows. Maintenance

and
remove
the tyre chains as soon as possible on
snow free roads. CAUTION
l
As your vehicle is equipped with anti-lock
brake system
(ABS),

in order to ensure
that the anti-lock brake system (ABS)
will operate correctly in situations where
tyre chains have been fitted, drive in
“4H”, “4HLc” or “4LLc”.
l Practice fitting the chains before you
need them.
Don’t expect help from other people in
the cold.
l Choose a clear straight stretch of road
where you can pull over and still be seen
while you are fitting the chains.
l Do not fit chains before you need them.
This will wear out your tyres and the
road surface.
l After driving around 100-300 metres,
stop and retighten the chains. CAUTION
l
Drive carefully and
do not exceed
50 km/h (30 mph). Remember, fitting
chains is not going to stop accidents from
happening.
l When tyre chains are installed, take care
that they do not damage the disc wheel or
body.
l An aluminium wheel can be damaged by
a tyre chain while driving. When fitting a
tyre chain on an aluminium wheel, take
care that any part of the chain and fitting
cannot be brought into contact with the
wheel.
l When installing or removing the tyre
chains, take care that hands and other
parts of your body are not injured by the
sharp edges of the vehicle body.
NOTE l The
laws and

regulations concerning the use
of tyre chains vary. Always follow local laws
and regulations.
In most countries, it is prohibited by law to
use tyre chains on roads without snow. Parking brake break-in
E01008300010
Break-in the parking

brake linings whenever the
brake performance of the parking brake is insuffi-
cient or whenever the parking brake linings and/or
discs are replaced, in order to assure the best brake
performance.
