detergent or non-abrasive 
 cleaner to clean the 
blades and glass areas.Replace the blades if th 
ey 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 mo 
tor may be damaged.

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.

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”.

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.
