 Before driving and after traveling a short dis- tance, always check the load to make sure it is securely fastened to the roof carrier. Stop the vehicle periodically and check that the load remains secure. If the load is notsecure, it could fall from the vehicle and damage your vehicle, another vehicle or cre- ate a road hazard.NOTE
 To prevent wind noise or reduction in gas mileage, remove the roof carrier when not in use.  Before using an automatic car wash, check with the attendant to determine if the roof carrier should be removed.  Be sure that adequate clearance is main- tained for raising the sunroof when installinga roof carrier.

The oil filter should be replaced at the time or mileage specified in the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”.Only use high quality replacement filters on this vehicle. The manufacturer’s specifica- tions for Genuine Mitsubishi oil filtersrequire that the filter can withstand a pressure
of 256 psi (1.8 MPa). A Genuine Mitsubishi oil filter is the best replacement filter. Follow the installation
instructions printed on
the filter.

The coolant reserve tank (A) lets you quicklysee when you need to add coolant. When the engine is cold, the level in the reserve tank should be between the “FULL” and “LOW”marks. The radiator usually stays full so there is no reason to remove
the radiator cap (B)
except when you check the coolant freeze point or replace the antifreeze coolant.
Vehicles with turbocharger
NOTE
 Select engine oil of the proper SAE viscosity number according to the atmospheric tem-perature.  SAE 0W-30 and 0W-40 engine oil are rec- ommended to use to improve engine start- ability on a very cold weather condition.

To even out the wear on your tires and makethem last longer, Mitsubishi Motors Corpora- tion recommends that you rotate your tires at the mileage listed in the “WARRANTY ANDMAINTENANCE MANUAL”. However, the timing for tire rotation may vary according to your vehicle condition,road surface conditions, and your own per- sonal driving habits. Any time you notice unusual wear, rotate your tires as soon as pos-sible. When rotating tires, check for uneven wear, damage, and wheel alignment. Abnormal wear is usually caused by a wrong tire pres-sure, wheels that are not aligned properly, wheels that are out-of-balance, or severe braking.Check with an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice to find out the reason for uneven tread wear.
The first tire rotation is the most important one. It will allow all your tires to wear evenly.
NOTE
 Tire wear indicators can have different marks and locations depending on the tire manufac- turer.
Tire rotation
CAUTION A compact spare tire can be installed tempo- rarily in place of a tire that has been removedduring the tire rotation. However, it must not be included in the regular tire rotation sequence.Tires that do not have
arrows showing rotation
direction Front Tires that have arrows showing rotation direction Front
CAUTION If the tires have arrows (A) indicating the correct direction of rotation, swap the front and rear tires on the left-hand side of the vehicle and the front and rear tires on the right-hand side of the vehicle separately.Keep each tire on its original side of the vehicle. When installing the tires, make sure the arrows point in the
direction in which the
wheels will turn when the vehicle moves for- ward. Any tire whose arrow points in the wrong direction will not perform to its fullpotential.CAUTION Avoid the combined use of different types of tires. Using different types of tires can affectvehicle performance and safety.

Check the wiper blades occasionally. Cleanthem regularly to remove deposits of salt androad film. Use a sponge or cloth and a mild detergent or non-abrasive cleaner to clean the blades and glass areas.Replace the blades if they continue to streak or smear. If the blades are frozen to the windshield or rear window, do not operate the wipers until the ice has melted and the blades are freed,otherwise the wiper motor may be damaged.
N00940800201
Your vehicle is equipped with an emission-control system that meets all the requirements of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
and Environment Canada. The emission-con- trol system is made of:  a positive crankcase ventilation system  an evaporative emission-control system  an exhaust emission-control system
The maintenance services listed in the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL” must be performed at the times or mileages listed to keep the emission-con-trol system working properly. These, and allthe other “general” maintenance services listed in this manual, need to be performed to keep your vehicle running properly and reli-ably. You may need more frequent maintenance if you drive your vehicle in harsh conditions such as dusty areas or
do a lot of start-and-
stop driving. To be sure the emission-control system works properly, have your vehicle inspected and maintained by an authorized MitsubishiMotors dealer or a repair facility of your choice following the schedule in the “WAR- RANTY AND MAINTENANCE MAN-UAL”. You should also have an inspection and ser- vice any time you suspect a malfunction.

NOTE
 To meet government regulations and pro- mote cleaner air, your vehicle is equipped with an onboard diagnostic system (OBD). The engine electronic control module that controls OBD functions stores various data(especially about the exhaust emissions). This data will be erased if the battery cable is disconnected, which could make a rapiddiagnosis difficult. Do not disconnect the battery cable when the engine malfunction indicator (“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” or“Check engine light”) is on.
Spark plugs
NOTE
 Use the spark plugs listed under “Engine specifications” on page 11-5 or plugs that are exactly the same. Other plugs could causeengine damage, performance problems or radio noise.

How to calculate your gasoline mileage
You can calculate your miles-per-gallon or kilometers-per-litre by using the following process: 1. Fill your vehicle’s fuel tank and record the odometer mile-
age.
2. Drive your vehicle as you normally do.
3. Refill the fuel tank. Record the odometer mileage again,
as well as the gallons/litres of fuel used.
4. Subtract the first mileage number from the second number
to know how many miles/kilometers were driven. Dividethe number of miles/kilometers driven by the number of gallons/litres of fuel used. This is your approximate miles- per-gallon or kilometers-per-litre.
