To reduce the possibili
ty of catalytic con-
verter damage:  Use UNLEADED GASOLINE ONLY of the type of recommended in the “Fuel selection”. Do not drive with an extremely low fuel level. Running out of gas could damage the catalytic converter. Do not try to start the engine by pushing or towing the vehicle. If the battery is weak or run down, use jumper cables toproperly start the engine.
 Do not idle the engine with any spark plug wires disconnected or removed, such aswhen performing
diagnosti
c tests.
 Do not idle the engine
for a long time if it
is idling roughly or otherwise obviouslymalfunctioning.  To prevent the catalytic converter from being damaged from unburned gas, do notrace the engine when turning off the igni- tion switch.  Stop driving the vehicle if you think the performance is noticeably low, or the engine has a malfunction such as with theignition, etc. If you are not able to stop driving immediately,
slow down and drive
for only a short time. Have your vehiclechecked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice as soon
as possible.
 In unusual situations involving major engine problems, a burning odor may indicate severe and abnormal catalyticconverter overheating.
If this occurs, stop
in a safe place, shut the engine off and let the vehicle cool. Once
the engine is cool,
immediately take your
vehicle to a dealer
or a repair facility of your choice for ser- vice.

CAUTION Damage to the catalyti
c converter can result
if your vehicle is not
kept in proper operating
condition. If the engine
malfunctions or mis-
fires, or if your vehi
cle performance suffers,
have it serviced promptly. Running your vehicle when it is
overheated may result in
damage to the converter and vehicle.WA R N I N G Do not park or run your vehicle in areas where combustible materials such as dry grass or leaves can come
in contact with a
hot exhaust, since a fire could occur. Do not put undercoat paint on the cata- lytic converter.

Release the lever and
lift the engine hood.
Support the engine hood with the hood prop. Insert the hood prop securely in the opening under the hood marked with an arrow.
Unlatch the prop from the engine hood and put it back in its retainer. Slowly lower the engine hood about 8 inches (20 cm), then let it drop from its own weight.
NOTE
 To prevent damage to the engine hood and wipers, make sure the
wipers are at resting
position when you open the engine hood.
CAUTION Always insert the support prop into the hole specially made for it. Propping the enginehood at any other place
could cause the prop
to slip out and lead
to an accident.
The hood prop can fall out if the hood is lifted by a strong wind.
To close
CAUTION Be careful not to trap your hands or fingers when closing the engine hood.
 Make sure the engine hood is firmly closed before driving.If you drive without the engine hood com-pletely closed, it c
ould open up while driv-
ing.NOTE
 If this does not clos
e the engine hood prop-
erly, drop it again from a slightly higher position.  Do not push down strongly on the engine hood. Depending on how strongly or whereyou push down, you could create a dent in the vehicle body.  If you drive with the e
ngine hood left open, a
warning display is displayed on the informa- tion screen in the multi-information display.CAUTION

The best way to keep carbon monoxide gas from entering inside your
vehicle is to have
the engine exhaust syst
em properly serviced.
Have a competent mechanic inspect the com- plete exhaust system
and nearby body areas
for broken, damaged, deteriorated, or mispo- sitioned parts if you no
tice any of the follow-
ing:  A change in the sound of the exhaust sys- tem  The smell of exhaust fumes inside the vehicle The underside or rear of the vehicle is damaged
Also check the exhaust system each time the vehicle is raised for l
ubrication, oil changes,
or required service. A
ny open seams or loose
connections could le
t dangerous exhaust
fumes seep into the
luggage and passenger
compartments.
 Check for holes or exhaust gas leaks caused by corrosion or damage. Check the joints and connections for looseness or exhaust gas leaks.  Check the rubber hangers and brackets for damage.

The timing belt should be replaced with a new one at the mileage listed in the “WAR- RANTY AND MAINTENANCE MAN-UAL”.

The hood lock release mechanism and hood safety catch should be
checked, cleaned, and
oiled when needed for easy movement and toprevent rust and wear. Use Multipurpose Grease NLGI Grade 2 sp
aringly for all sliding
parts of the hood latc
h and release lever.
Work the grease into the hood lock mecha- nism until all the mo
vable surfaces are cov-
ered.
Also, put a light coat
of the same grease on
the safety catch wherever moving parts touch.

The ventilation slots in
front of the wind-
shield should be brushed clear after a heavy snowfall so that the operation of the heating and ventilation
systems will not be impaired.
To prevent freezing of the weatherstripping on the doors, engine hood, etc., they shouldbe treated with silicone grease. It is a good idea to carry a shovel or a short- handled spade in the vehicle during the win-ter so that you can clear away snow if you get stranded.
