cleaner to clean the
blades and glass areas.Replace the blades if th

N00940800328
Your vehicle is equi
pped with an emission-
control system that me
ets all the requirements
of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Environment Cana
da. The emission-con-
trol system is made of:  a positive crankcase ventilation system  an evaporative emission-control system  an exhaust emission-control system
To be sure the emissi
on-control system works
properly, have your ve
hicle inspected and
maintained by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice. This should be done at the time ormileage specified in the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”. These, and all the other “general” mainte-nance services listed in this manual, need to be performed to keep
your vehicle running
properly and reliably. You should also have
an inspection and ser-
vice any time you suspect a malfunction.
N00940900231
Spark plugs must fire properly to ensure proper engine perfo
rmance and emission-
control.Do not reuse spark plugs by cleaning or regapping. Spark plugs sh
ould be replaced at
the mileage specified in the “WARRANTYAND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”.
N00941000040
Check the hose surfaces for any heat and mechanical damage, ha
rd and brittle rubber,
cracking, tears, cuts and abrasions. Pay spe-cial attention to the hos
es closest to high heat
sources such as the exhaust manifold. Check all the hose connections, such as clamps andcouplings, to make sure they are secure and that there are no leaks. If you see any wear or damage, replace the hoses immediately.
NOTE
 Do not run the wipers on dry glass for a long time. This wears out
the rubber and can
scratch the glass.
During cold weather Emission-control system maintenance
NOTE
 To meet government
regulations and pro-
mote cleaner air, your
vehicle is equipped
with an onboard diagnostic system (OBD).The engine electroni
c control module that
controls OBD functions
stores various data
(especially about th
e exhaust emissions).
This data will be erased if the battery cable is disconnected, which c
ould make a rapid
diagnosis difficult.
Do not disconnect the
battery cable when the engine malfunction indicator (“SERVIC
E ENGINE SOON” or
“Check engine light”) is ON.
Spark plugs
NOTE
 Use the recommended or
equivalent spark
plugs listed under “Engine specifications” onpage 11-6. Use of other plugs could cause engine damage, loss of
performance or radio
noise.

Damaged paint Cleaning plastic parts
CAUTION Do not use a scrubbing brush or other rough scrubber as these may
damage the plastic
surface.
 Do not use wax containing compounds (pol- ishing powder) which ma
y damage the plas-
tic surface. Do not let plastic parts get soiled with gaso- line, oil, brake fluids
, engine oils, greases,
paint thinner, and sulfur
ic acid (battery elec-
trolyte), as such substa
nces will cause stains,
cracks, or discoloration.If any of these get on a plastic part, wipe them up with a soft cloth or chamois and a mild solution of soap and water. Then rinsethem immediately with water.
Chrome parts Aluminum wheels (if so equipped)
CAUTION
CAUTION Do not use a brush or
other hard implement
on the wheels. Do not use any cleaner th
at contains an abra-
sive substance or is ac
idic or alkaline. Doing
so could cause the coating on the wheels to peel or become disc
olored or stained.
Do not directly apply
hot water using a steam
cleaner or by any other means. Contact with seawater or road salt used for de-icing can cause corr
osion. Rinse off such
substances as soon as possible.
