1. Gently wipe off with gauze or other soft
cloth soaked with a 5 % aqueous solu-tion of neutral detergent.
2. Dip cloth in fresh water and wring it out
well. Using this cloth, wipe off the deter-
gent thoroughly.
3. Apply leather protecting agent to the
genuine leather surface.
NOTEl If genuine leather is wet with water or is
washed in water, wipe off water as quickly
as possible with a dry, soft cloth. If left damp, mildew may grow.
l The genuine leather surface may be dam-
aged 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
quickly as they can stain genuine leather.NOTEl 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 E00900700010
If the following is left on your vehicle, it maycause corrosion, discolouration and stains, wash the vehicle as soon as possible.
l Seawater, anti-freeze for road use.
l Soot and dust, iron powder from facto-
ries, chemical substance (acids, alkalis,
coal-tar, etc.).
l Droppings from birds, carcasses of in-
sects, tree sap, etc.
Washing
E00900902016
Chemicals contained in the dirt and dust
picked up from the road surface can damagethe paint coat and body of your vehicle if left
in prolonged contact.
Frequent washing and waxing is the best way
to protect your vehicle from this damage.
This will also be effective in protecting it from environmental elements 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 remove dust. Next, using an ample amount of clean water and a car wash- ing 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, bon-
net, etc., where dirt is likely to remain.CAUTIONl When washing the under side of your vehi-
cle or wheel, be careful not to injure your
hands.
l Refrain from using a car wash as its brushes
may scratch the paint surface, causing it to
lose its gloss.
Scratches will be especially visible on darker
coloured vehicles.
l Never spray or splash water on the electrical
components in the engine compartment, as
this may adversely affect engine starting.
Exercise caution also when washing the un- derbody; be careful not to spray water intothe engine compartment.

Service precautionsE01000100706
Adequate care of your vehicle at regular in- tervals serves to preserve the value and ap-
pearance as long as possible.
Maintenance items as described in this own- er’s manual can be performed by the owner.We recommend you to have the periodic in-
spection and maintenance performed by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point or another specialist.
In the event a malfunction or other problem is discovered, we recommend you to have it
checked and repaired. This section contains information on inspection maintenance pro- cedures that you can do yourself. Follow the
instructions and cautions for each of the vari- ous 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.WARNINGl 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.
l Do not smoke, cause sparks or allow open
flames around fuel or battery. The fumesare 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 endanger
your personal safety. We recommend you to consult a specialist for necessary infor-
mation.Catalytic converter
E01000200925
For ordinary use, there are no particular pre-cautions.
The exhaust gas scavenging devices used
with the catalytic converter are extremely ef- ficient for the reduction of noxious gases.
The catalytic converter is installed in the ex- haust system.
It is important to keep the engine properly
tuned to ensure proper catalyst operation andprevent possible catalyst damage.CAUTIONl Damage to the catalytic converter can result
if your vehicle is not kept in proper operat-ing condition. In the event of an engine mal-
function particularly involving engine mis-
fire 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 vehi-cle.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.
The catalytic converter itself gets hot quickly,
and may be damaged if overheated. The fol- lowing points should be noted in order to pre-vent the ignition of unburned fuel within the
catalytic converter.

Battery
E01001203369
The condition of the battery is very important
for quick starting of the engine and proper functioning of the vehicle’s electrical system.
Regular inspection and care are especially
important in cold weather.
NOTEl On vehicles equipped with 2 batteries, when
the batteries are replaced, the 2 batteries
should be replaced at the same time.
If only a battery is replaced, it will cause shortening the batteries life.Checking battery electrolyte
level
The electrolyte level must be between the specified limit on the outside of the battery.
Replenish with distilled water as necessary.
The inside of the battery is divided into sev- eral compartments; remove the cap from each
compartment and fill to the upper mark. Do not top up beyond the upper mark because
spillage during driving could cause damage.
Check the electrolyte level at least once every
4 weeks, depending on the operating condi- tions.
If the battery is not used, it will discharge by
itself with time. Check it once every 4 weeks and charge with low current as necessary.
