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 la 
ws 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). When the bands appear next to one another in two or more places 
, replace your tires.

To even out the wear on your tires and make them last longer, Mitsubishi Motors Corpora- tion recommends that you rotate your tires atthe mileage listed in the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”. However, the timing for tire rotation mayvary according to your vehicle condition, road surface conditions, and your own per- sonal driving habits. Any time you notice unusual wear, rotate your  
tires as soon as pos- 
sible. When rotating tires, check for uneven wear, damage, and wheel al 
ignment. Abnormal 
wear is usually caused by a wrong tire pres- sure, wheels that are not aligned properly,wheels that are out-of-balance, or severe braking. Check with an authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer or a repair fac 
ility of your choice to 
find out the reason for uneven tread wear. The first tire rotation is the most important one. It will allow all your tires to wear evenly.

NOTE
 Tire wear indicators ca
n have different marks 
and locations depending  
on the tire manufac- 
turer.
Tire rotation 
CAUTION A compact spare tire can be installed tempo- rarily in place of a tire 
 that has been removed 
during the tire rotation. However, it must notbe included in the re 
gular tire rotation 
sequence. If the tires have arrows (A) indicating the correct direction of rotation, swap the front and rear tires on the left-hand side of thevehicle and the front and rear tires on theright-hand side of th 
e vehicle separately. 
Keep each tire on its original side of the vehicle. When installing the tires, make surethe arrows point in the direction in which the wheels will turn when the vehicle moves for- ward. Any tire whose arrow points in thewrong direction will not 
 perform to its full 
potential.

Spark plugs must fire properly to ensure proper engine performance and emission- control.Do not reuse spark plugs by cleaning or regapping. Spark plugs  
should 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.
N00950100050
Have the valve clea
rance checked at an 
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer at the mileage specified in the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”.If the engine sounds ab 
normally loud, have 
adjustments made by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.

Check these regularly for damage or leaks in the fuel lines and conne 
ctions. Check the fuel 
tank filler cap for dama 
ge or looseness. Pay 
special attention to the fuel lines closest to 
high heat sources such  
as the exhaust mani- 
fold.
N00941400187
If the fuel-vapor vent line is clogged or dam-aged, the fuel-vapor mixture will escape, pol- luting the air. Have the system checked at an authorizedMitsubishi Motors dealer at the mileage spec- ified in the “WARRANTY AND MAINTE- NANCE MANUAL”.

e maintenance service 
recommended by Mitsubishi Motors Corpo-ration. In addition to the general maintenance that needs to be performed at the times listed,
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 thebattery cable when th 
e 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 “Engi 
ne specifications” on 
page 11-6. Use of other plugs could cause engine damage, loss of  
performance or radio 
noise.

WA R N I N G If you see a fuel leak 
or if you smell fuel, 
do not run the engine. Any spark (includ- ing from the ignition 
), flame or smoking 
material could cause an explosion or fire.Call an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair fa 
cility of your choice 
for assistance.
