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.

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.

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.

1. Before replacing a fuse, always turn off the electrical item
connected to the fuse
and turn the ignition switch to the“LOCK” or “OFF” position or put the operation mode in OFF. 2. There is a fuse remover (A) in the enginecompartment fuse block. 3. Clamp it on the fuse you wish to remove, and pull the fuse straight out from the fuseblock.

4. Use the fuse location diagrams and the matching tables, to check the fuse that isrelated to the problem. If the fuse is not blown, something else must be causing the problem. Have the system inspectedby your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
5. Insert a new fuse
of the same capacity
securely into the appropriate slot.
N00942901391
Before replacing the bulb, be sure the light is off. Do not touch the glass part of the new bulb with your bare fingers; the oil from yourskin will stay on the glass and dim or destroy the bulb when it gets hot.
B- Fuse is OK C- Blown fuse
CAUTION Never use a fuse with a capacity greater than the one listed or any s
ubstitute, such as wire,
foil etc. This would
cause the circuit wiring
to heat up and could cause a fire. If the replacement fuse blows again after a short time, have the electrical systemchecked 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.
 Handle halogen light bul
b with care. The gas
inside a halogen light
bulb is highly pressur-
ized, so dropping, knocki
ng, or scratching a
halogen light bulb can
cause it to shatter.
Never hold the halogen
light bulb with a bare
hand, dirty glove, etc. The oil from your hand could cause the bulb to break the next time the headlights areused. If the glass surface is dirty, clean it with alcohol and let it dry completely beforeinstalling the bulb.CAUTION Do not install commercially available LED- type bulbs. Commercia
lly available LED-
type bulbs could adversely affect the opera- tion of the vehicle, such as by preventing thelights and other vehicle equipment from operating properly.CAUTION

Salt and other chemicals used on winter roads in some geographical areas can have a detri- mental effect on the vehicle underbody. Youshould flush the underbody with a high pres- sure hose every time you wash the outside of your vehicle.Take special care to remove mud or other debris which could trap and hold salt and moisture.After washing your vehicle, wipe off all waterdrops from the rubber parts around the doors to prevent the doors from freezing.
N00946000205
Wax your vehicle once or twice a year, orwhen water does not bead up on the paint.Use a soft cloth to put a small amount of wax on the painted surfaces.
After the wax has
dried, polish with
a dry soft cloth.
Do not wax your vehicle in direct sunlight. You should wax when the painted surfaces are cool.
 Never spray or splash water on the electrical parts in the engine compartment. This maydamage them. Be careful also when washingthe underbody to ensure that water does not enter the engine compartment. Avoid automatic car washers that use rotat- ing brushes. These br
ushes may scratch the
paint surface a
nd make it dull.
Scratches are more not
iceable on darker col-
ored vehicles. Some hot water wash
ing equipment uses
high pressure and heat
to clean your vehicle.
Because hot water can da
mage plastics parts
and seep inside your ve
hicle, make sure you
do the following when using such equip- ment:• Keep the washing nozzle at least 28 inches(70 cm) away from the vehicle body.• When washing around the door glass, holdthe nozzle at a distance of more than 28inches (70 cm) and at a right angle to the glass surface.
 Make sure to do the following when using an automatic car wash, with help from either this manual or the car wash operator, toavoid damaging your vehicle:• Fold the outside
rearview mirrors.
• Tape or remove the rear wiper arm assem- bly.• If your vehicle is equi
pped with a roof rails,
check with the car wash operator beforeusing the car wash.CAUTION
• If your vehicle is e
quipped with the rain
sensor, place th
e wiper switch lever in the
“OFF” position to deac
tivate the rain sen-
sor.• If your vehicle is e
quipped with the Ultra-
sonic misaccelerati
on Mitigation System,
turn off the system. Refer to “FCM and Ultrasonic misaccelera-tion Mitigation System ON/OFF switch” on page 5-122.
During cold weather
CAUTION
NOTE
 When the door is frozen, opening it by force may tear off or crack the rubber gasketinstalled around the door. Pour warm waterto melt the ice. Be sure to thoroughly wipe off the water after opening the door. To pre- vent freezing of the we
atherstripping on the
doors, hood, etc., treat with silicone lubri- cant.
Waxing
CAUTION Waxes containing high abrasive compounds should not be used. Th
ese waxes remove rust
and stain effectively fr
om the paintwork, but
are harmful to the finish of the paint, becausethey also remove
paint/clearcoat.
They are also harmful to other glossy sur- faces such as the grille, trim, moldings, etc.
