1. To clean, lightly wipe the leather with a
soft cloth soaked in a mild soap and wa-
ter solution.
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 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.
l 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

If the following is left on your vehicle, it may cause corrosion, discolouration and stains, wash the vehicle as soon as possible.
l Seawater, road deicing products.
l Soot and dust, iron powder from facto-
ries, chemical substance (acids, alkalis, coaltar, etc.).
l Droppings from birds, carcasses of in-
sects, tree sap, etc.Washing
E00900903794
Chemicals contained in the dirt and dustpicked 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 and other sections 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 If your vehicle has rain sensor wipers, place
the wiper switch lever in the “OFF” position to deactivate the rain sensor before washing
the vehicle. Otherwise, the wipers will oper- ate in the presence of water spray on the
windscreen and may get damaged as a result.
l Refrain from excessively 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. Do- ing so could have an adverse effect on the
engine startability.
Exercise caution also when washing the un-
derbody; be careful not to spray water into the engine compartment.
l Some types of hot water washing equipment
apply high pressure and heat to the vehicle. They may cause heat distortion and damage
to the vehicle resin parts and may result in flooding of the vehicle interior. Therefore;

Service precautionsE01000102595
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 a 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 theinstructions and cautions for each of the vari-
ous procedures.WARNINGl When checking or servicing the inside of
the engine compartment, make sure theengine is switched off and has had achance 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 cool-ing fan, drive belts, or other moving parts.
l After performing the maintenance, make
sure that no tools or cloths are left behind in the engine compartment. If they are left
behind, a fire or damage to the vehicle
may occur.WARNINGl The cooling fan can turn on automatically
even if the engine is not running. Turn the
ignition switch to “LOCK” position or put
the operation mode in OFF to be safe while you work in the engine compart-ment.
l Do not smoke, cause sparks or allow open
flames around fuel or battery. The fumes are 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.
Service precautions
10-02OKTE17E1Maintenance10

Check to make certain that the power steering
fluid level is always between the “MAX” and
“MIN” level markings on the fluid reservoir and top up the fluid, if necessary.
Fluid type
Use “ MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE
PSF (Power Steering Fluid)”.
Battery
E01001203662
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.
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.
During cold weather
The capacity of the battery is reduced at low
temperatures. This is an inevitable result of its chemical and physical properties. This iswhy a very cold battery, particularly one that
is not fully charged, will only deliver a frac- tion of the starter current which is normallyavailable.
We recommend you to have the battery checked before the start of cold weather and,
if necessary, have it charged or replaced.
This does not only ensure reliable starting, but a battery which is kept fully charged alsohas a longer life.
Disconnection and connection
To disconnect the battery cable, stop the en-
gine, first disconnect the negative (-) terminal
and then the positive (+) terminal. When con- necting the battery, first connect the positive
(+) terminal and then the negative (-) termi-
nal.
NOTEl Open the terminal cover (A) before discon-
necting or connecting the positive (+) termi-
nal of the battery.

3.Referring to the fuse load capacity table,
check the fuse pertaining to the problem.
B- Fuse is OK
C- Blown fuse
NOTEl If any system does not function but the fuse
corresponding to that system is normal, theremay be a fault in the system elsewhere. We recommend you to have your vehiclechecked.4. Insert a new fuse of the same capacity
by using the fuse puller into the same
place at the fuse block.CAUTIONl If the newly inserted fuse blows again after a
short time, we recommend you to have the electrical system checked to find the causeand rectify it.
l Never use a fuse with a larger capacity than
specified or a substitute (such as a cable or
foil). Doing so could cause the circuit wires
to overheat and create a fire.Replacement of lamp bulbs
E01003102121
Before replacing a bulb, ensure the lamp is off. Do not touch the glass part of the new
bulb with your bare fingers; the skin oil left
on the glass will evaporate when the bulb gets hot and the vapour will condense on the
reflector and dim the surface.CAUTIONl Bulbs are extremely hot immediately after
being turned off.
When replacing a bulb, wait for it to cool sufficiently before touching it. You couldotherwise be burnt.
l Handle halogen lamp bulbs with care. The
gas inside halogen lamp bulbs is highly pres-
surized, so dropping, knocking, or scratching
a halogen lamp bulb can cause it to shatter.
