It is normal for an engi
ne to use oil. You may
need to add oil between the recommended oilchange intervals. Before starting the engine, check the engine oil level. Refill if necessary. To check the oil level, remove the dipstick, wipe it off, and gently reinsert it all the way. Slowly pull the dipstick straight out andcheck the oil level by checking the upper sur- face of the dipstick. Th
e oil level must not go
above the line on the dipstick. If the level does not reach the line which shows the smallest amount of oil required, remove the oil filler cap on the engine valve cover, and fill to within the “Good” range.

NOTE
If it is difficult to verify the oil level, wipe off the dipstick and reinsert it. Wait a moment and then recheck the oil level bychecking the upper surface of the dipstick.
CAUTION Overfilling will cause oil aeration and loss of oil pressure, which could damage the engine.WA R N I N G Used engine oil is poisonous, and can dam- age your skin. Prolonged and repeated contact may cause serious skin disorders, including dermatitis and cancer. Do not letused oil touch your skin and wash thor- oughly after working with it. Keep used oil out of the reach of children.NOTE
Engine oil consumption
is greatly influenced
by payload, engine speed, etc.Good

Engine oil and oil filter 9-6 Vehicle care and maintenance

Mitsubishi Motors recommends using only engine oils with the ILSAC certification sym- bol on the front of the container. If you cannot find oils with the ILSAC certi- fication symbol, use an API classification SN or higher oil with the following label.
This mark appears on the top of the oil con- tainer and tells you two important things about the oil. Use engine oil with the proper thickness for the outdoor temperatures where you will bedriving.
Mitsubishi Motors Ge
nuine 0W-20 Synthetic
Engine Oil is recommended for optimum fuel economy and cold weather starting.If Mitsubishi Motors Genuine 0W-20 Syn- thetic Engine Oil is
not available, 5W-20
grade oils displaying the ILSAC certificationcan be used. However, Mitsubishi Motors Genuine 0W-20 Synthetic Engine Oil should be used at the next oil change to maintainoptimum fuel economy and cold weatherstarting. The oil filter should be
replaced at the time or
mileage specified in the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”. Only use high quality replacement filters onthis vehicle. The manufacturer’s specifica- tions for Genuine Mitsubishi oil filters
The engine oil will deteriorate rapidly if the vehicle is subjected to severe conditions (for example, repeated operation on rough roads, in mountainous regions, on roads with many uphill and downhill gradients, or over shortdistances). Consequently, the oil will require earlier replacement in accordance with the schedule in the “WARRANTY AND MAIN-TENANCE MANUAL”.

Tires 9-18 Vehicle care and maintenance

Cold inflation pressure must not go above the maximum values molded into the tire side- wall. After driving several miles, your tire inflation pressure may increase 2 to 6 psi (14to 41 kPa) from the cold inflation pressure. Do not let air out of the tires to get back to the specified cold pressure, or your tires will betoo low. Check your tires each time you refuel. If one tire looks lower than the others, check thepressure for all of them.You should also take the following safety pre- cautions: Keep your tires inflated to the recom- mended pressures. (See the tire and load-ing information placard attached to the driver’s door sill.) Stay within the recommended load limits. Make sure that the weight of any load in your vehicle is evenly distributed. Drive at safe speeds. After filling your tires to the correct pres- sure, check them for damage and air leaks. Be sure to reinstall the caps on thevalve stems.
N00939600241 N00939700141
The following maintenance steps are recom- mended:
Check tire pressures regularly. Have regular maintenance done on the wheel balance and front and rear suspen- sion alignment. Rotate your tires regularly as described in the “Tire rotation” section on page 9-19.
N00939800184
Tread wear indicators are built into the origi- nal equipment tires on your vehicle to helpyou know when your tires should be replaced. Many states have laws requiring that you replace your tires at this point.These indicators are molded into the bottom of the tread grooves and will appear when the tire tread is worn down to 1/16 inch (1.6mm).
Replacing tires and wheels
CAUTION Avoid using different
size tires from the one
listed and the combined use of different types of tires, as this can affect driving safety.Refer to “Tires and wheels” on page 11-5. On all-wheel drive vehicles, always use tires of the same size, same type, and same brand, and which have no wear differences. Using tires that differ in size, type, brand or thedegree of wear, will increase the differential oil temperature, resulting in possible damage to the driving system. Further, the drive trainwill be subjected to excessive loading, possi- bly leading to oil leakage, component sei- zure, or other serious problems. Only Mitsubishi Motors Authorized wheels should be used, because your vehicle isequipped with a tire pressure monitoring sys- tem. Use of another type of wheel risks air leaksand sensor damage, as it will not be possible to install the tire pressure sensor properly.

Replacement of light bulbs

N00942900310
Before replacing the bulb, be sure the light is off. Do not touch the glass part of the newbulb with your bare fingers; the oil from your skin will stay on the glass and dim or destroy the bulb when it gets hot.
N00943000132
The bulb should only be replaced with a newbulb with the same rating and type. The typeand rating are listed on the base of the bulb.
N00950301903
If the replacement fuse blows again after a short time, have the electrical system checked by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair faci
lity of your choice to
find and correct the cause.
Replacement of light bulbs
CAUTION Bulbs are extremely hot immediately after being turned off. When replacing the bulb, wait for it to coolsufficiently before touching it. You could otherwise be burned.NOTE
If you are unsure of how to carry out the work as required, it is recommended that these procedures be carried out by an autho-rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice. Be careful not to scratch the vehicle body when removing a light and lens.CAUTION
When it rains, or when the vehicle has been washed, the inside of the lens sometimes becomes temporarily foggy. This is the same phenomenon as when window glass mists up on a humid day, and does not indicate a func-tional problem. When the light is switched on, the heat will remove the fog. However, if water gathersinside the light, please have it checked by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
