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.

rface can be damaged
if brushed with a nylon or synthetic fiberbrush.  Organic solvents such as benzine, kerosene, alcohol, gasoline, or acid
or alkaline solvents
can discolor the genuine
leather surface and
should not be used.  Genuine leather can
mildew if not kept

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

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.
