The windshield and rear
window washer fluid
reservoir is in the engine compartment.
Check the washer fluid
level at regular inter-
vals and add washer fluid to reservoir if nec-essary. Open the reservoir cap and check the fluid level with the dipstick. When freezing weather is anticipated, flush out the water in the reservoir by operating thepump. Fill the reservoir with windshield anti- freeze (not radiator
antifreeze), and operate
the system for a few se
conds to flush out the
residual water.
N00938701271
Check the fluid level in the reservoir.The fluid level must be between the “MAX” and “MIN” marks on the reservoir.
The fluid level falls slightly with wear of the brake pads, but this
does not indicate any
abnormality. If the fluid level falls se
aled tight in a short
length of time, it indi
cates leaks from the
brake system. If this occurs, have the vehicle checked by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or arepair facility of your choice. Use the recommended brake fluid conform- ing to DOT 3 or DOT
4. The reservoir cap
must be tightly sealed to keep dirt and water out.

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”.
N00942501124
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.
N00942600102
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.

If painted surfaces have
been severely dam-
aged and lost their original luster and color tone, polish the surface
lightly with a fine
polishing compound. Avoid limiting your polishing to the damage
d surface only; polish
a somewhat wider area, moving the polishingcloth in one direction.
After polishing, flush
the compound from the surface and apply a coat of wax to regain a beautiful luster.
N00946201099
Small cracks and scratches in the paint coat should be touched up as
soon as possible with
touch-up paint to prevent corrosion.Check body areas facing the road or the tires carefully for damage to the paint caused by flying stones, etc. The
paint code number for
your vehicle can be found on the vehicle information code plate located on the front passenger door sill.
N00946301221
Use a sponge or chamois to clean these parts.If the vehicle wax sticks to a gray or black rough surface of the bumper, molding or lights, the surface may appear white in color.In this case, wipe it
off using lukewarm water
and a soft cloth or chamois.
N00946400052
To prevent spots and corrosion of chrome parts, wash with water, dry thoroughly, and apply a nonabrasive automotive wax. If the chrome is severely da
maged or pitted, use a
commercially available chrome polish.

1. Remove dirt using a wet sponge.2. Use a mild detergent on any dirt that can- not be removed ea
sily with water.
Rinse off the detergent after washing thewheel. 3. Dry the wheel thoroughly using a chamois leather or a soft cloth.
 Do not use gasoline, benzine, kerosene or paint thinners to remove
road tar or other dirt
from the vehicle surface. Do not put wax on the areas having black matte coating because
it can cause uneven
discoloration, patches,
blurs, etc. If these get
wax on them, wipe the wax off right away with a soft clot
h and warm water.
On vehicles with sunr
oof, be careful not to
apply any wax on the weatherstrip (blackrubber) when waxing the area around the sunroof opening. If stained with wax,
the weatherstrip cannot
maintain a weatherproof seal with the sun- roof.
Polishing
CAUTION
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
may damage the plas-
tic surface.
 Do not let plastic parts
get soiled with gaso-
line, oil, brake fluids
, engine oils, greases,
paint thinner, and sulfuric acid (battery elec-trolyte), as such substa
nces will cause stains,
cracks, or discoloration. If any of these get on a plastic part, wipethem up with a soft cloth or chamois and a mild solution of soap and water. Then rinse them immediately with water.

should be wiped away
with a cloth dipped in
warm, neutral deter-
gent solution. Wipe away the solution with a sponge dipped in fresh water.
N00947000071
Never spray or splash
water on the electrical
accessories in the engine compartment. Thisputs the engine at risk of being damaged. Do not bring the circum
ferential parts, the
plastic parts and so on
into contact with sulfu-
ric acid (battery electrolyte) which may crack, stain or discolor them. If they are in contact, wipe off with soft cloth,chamois or the like and an aqueous solution of neutral detergent th
en immediately rinse
the affected parts with plenty of water.
CAUTION Do not use a brush or other hard implement on the wheels. Do not use any cleaner that contains an abra- sive substance or is ac
idic or alkaline. Doing
so could cause the co
ating 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.
