Have a competent mechanic inspect the com- plete exhaust system and nearby body areas for broken, damaged, deteriorated, or mispo- sitioned parts if you notice 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 lubrication, oil changes,or required service. Any open seams or loose connections could let dangerous exhaust fumes seep into the luggage compartment andpassenger 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 hood lock release mechanism and hoodsafety catch should be checked, cleaned, and oiled when needed for easy movement and to stop rust and wear. Use Multipurpose GreaseNLGI Grade 2 sparingly for all sliding parts of the hood latch and release lever. Work the grease into the hood lock mechanism until allthe movable surfaces are covered.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 heatingand ventilation systems will not be impaired. To prevent freezing of the weatherstripping on the doors, engine hood, etc., they should be 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 getstranded. A small hand-brush for sweeping snow off the vehicle and a plastic scraper for the windshield, side and rear window are alsouseful.

The fusible links will melt
to prevent a fire if
a large current attempts to flow through cer-tain electrical systems. In case of a melted fusible link, see your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or arepair facility of your choice for inspection and replacement. For the fusible links, please refer to “Fuseload capacities” on page 9-30.
Check for any of the following conditions:
Hood lock release mechanism and safety catch For cold and snowy weather Ventilation slots Weatherstripping
Additional equipment (For regions where snow is encoun- tered) Fusible links
WA R N I N G Fusible links must not be replaced by any other device. Failing to fit the correct fus- ible link may result in fire in the vehicle,property destruction and serious or fatal injuries at any time.

This information is provided in compliance with the requirements of the National High-way Traffic Safety Administration, Depart- ment of Transportation. It provides the purchasers and/or prospective purchaserswith information on reporting safety defects. DOT quality grades - All passenger vehicle tires must conform to Federal Safety Require-ments in addition to these grades. The spe- cific grade rating in each grade category is shown on the side wall of the tires on yourvehicle. The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test course. For example, a tiregraded 150 would wear one and one-half (11/2) times as well on the government course
as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of
their use, however, and may depart signifi- cantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices and differ- ences in road characteristics and climate. The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B and C. Those grades representthe tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement asmeasured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poortraction performance. The temperature grades are A (the highest), B and C, representing the tire’s resistance to thegeneration of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel.Sustained high temperature can cause the
material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corre- sponds to a level of performance which allpassenger car tires must meet under the Fed- eral Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels ofperformance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.
