Tire pressures should be checked, and adjusted if necessary, at least once a month.Pressures should be checked more often whenever weather temperatures change severely, becaus
e tire pressures change with
outdoor temperatures. The pressures listed are always “cold inflation pressure”. Cold inflation pressure is measured after thevehicle has been parked
for at least three
hours or is driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) after having been parked for three hours. Cold inflation pressure
must not go above the
maximum values molded into the tire side-wall. After driving se
veral miles, your tire
inflation pressure may increase 2 to 6 psi (14 to 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 be too low.Check your tires each t
ime you refuel. If one
tire looks lower than the others, check the pressure 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 the valve stems.

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 regul
arly as described in
the “Tire rotation” section on page 9-20.

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 11-7. On all-wheel drive vehi
cles, 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, resul
ting in possible damage
to the driving system. Further, the drive trainwill be subjected to ex
cessive loading, possi-
bly leading to oil leakage, component sei- zure, or other serious problems.
 Only Mitsubishi Motors Authorized wheels should be used, beca
use your vehicle is
equipped with a tire pr
essure monitoring sys-
tem. Use of another type of wheel risks air leaks and sensor damage, as it
will not be possible
to install the tire pressure sensor properly.NOTE
 On vehicles with Elec
tric parking brake, 16
inches steel wheel cannot be used on your vehicle because it interferes with brake parts. Additionally, 16 inches aluminum wheelmay not be used on your vehicle depending on its type, even if a Mitsubishi Motors Gen- uine wheels.Consult an authoriz
ed Mitsubishi Motors
dealer before using wh
eels that you have.

In some areas of the country, snow tires are required for winter driving. If snow tires are required in your area, you must choose snowtires of the same size
and type as the original
tires provided with your
vehicle. Snow tires
should also be
installed on all four wheels.
Otherwise your safety
and vehicle handling
can be reduced. Even where laws may permit it, snow tiresshould not be operated
at sustained speeds
over 75 mph (120 km/h).

CAUTION Avoid the combined use of different types of tires. Using different t
ypes of tires can affect
vehicle performa
nce and safety.

Check the wiper blades
occasionally. Clean
them regularly to remo
ve deposits of salt and
road film. Use a sponge or cloth and a milddetergent or non-abrasive cleaner to clean the blades and glass areas. Replace the blades if they continue to streakor 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 meets all the requirementsof the U.S. Environm
ental 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 emission-control system works properly, have your vehicle inspected andmaintained by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice. This should be
done at the time or
mileage 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 runningproperly and reliably. You should also have an inspection and ser- vice any time you
suspect a malfunction.

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, de
teriorated, or mispo-
sitioned parts if you not
ice 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. Any 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.

If painted surfaces ha
ve been severely dam-
aged and lost their original luster and color tone, polish the surface lightly with a finepolishing 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 foryour vehicle can be found on the vehicle information code plate located on the front passenger door sill.
N00946301221
Use a sponge or chamoi
s 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 damaged or pitted, use acommercially available chrome polish.
N00946500183
1. Remove dirt using a wet sponge.2. Use a mild detergent
on any dirt that can-
not be removed easily 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 dirtfrom the vehicle surface. Do not put wax on the areas having black matte coating because
it can cause uneven
discoloration, patches, bl
urs, 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 (black
rubber) 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 plasticsurface. Do not use wax containing compounds (pol- ishing powder) which ma
y 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.
