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”.

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.
Fuel hoses Intake valve clearance Fuel system (tank, pipe line and connection, and fuel tank filler cap)
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.

there are other parts which do not usually need regular maintenance.But, if any of these parts stops working prop- erly, your vehicle performance could suffer. Have these items ch
ecked if you notice a
problem with them. If you have any questions, see your autho- rized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer for assistance.

Good brakes are essential for safe driving. Check the brake pads for wear. For goodbraking performance, re
place the brake pads
with the same type pads as the originals.
N00941700076
Brake hoses and tubing should be checkedfor:  Severe surface cracking, scuffing or worn spots. If the fabric casing of the hose isshowing through any cracks or worn spots in the rubber hose cover, the hose should be replaced. The brakes can fail if thehose wears through.  Improper installation
may cause twisting,
or wheel, tire or chassis interference.
N00941800093
Check the following parts for damage andgrease leaks:  Ball joint boots of the suspension and steering linkage  Bellows on both ends of the drive shaft
N00942201118
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.
N00942300079
The timing belt should
be replaced with a
new one at the mileage listed in the “WAR- RANTY AND MAINTENANCE MAN-UAL”.

The hood lock release mechanism and hood safety catch should be
checked, cleaned, and
oiled when needed for easy movement and to prevent 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 onthe safety catch wherever moving parts touch.
N00942600102
The ventilation slots in front of the wind-shield should be brus
hed 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 should be 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. A small hand-brush for sweeping snow off the vehicle a
nd a plastic scraper for
the windshield, side an
d rear window are also
useful.

The fusible links will melt to prevent a fire ifa large current attempts
to flow through cer-
tain electrical systems.In case of a melted fusible link, see your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice for inspection
and replacement. For the fusible links, pl
ease refer to “Fuse
load capacities” on page 9-27.
N00942801954
To prevent damage to the electrical systemfrom short-circuiting
or overloading, each
individual circuit is e
quipped with a fuse. The
fuse blocks are located in the passenger com- partment and in the engine compartment.
