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 regularly as described in the “Tire rotation” section on page 9-19.
N00939800184
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 laws 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.
N00939901531
To even out the wear on your tires and makethem last longer, Mitsubishi Motors Corpora- tion recommends that you rotate your tires at the mileage listed in the “WARRANTY ANDMAINTENANCE MANUAL”. However, the timing for tire rotation may vary 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 alignment. 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 Motors dealer or a repair faci
lity of your choice to
find out the reason for uneven tread wear.
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 11-5. On all-wheel drive vehicles, 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, resulting in possible damage to the driving system. Further, the drive trainwill be subjected to excessive loading, possi- bly leading to oil leakage, component sei- zure, or other serious problems. Only Mitsubishi Motors Authorized wheels should be used, because your vehicle isequipped with a tire pressure monitoring sys- tem. Use of another type of wheel risks air leaksand sensor damage, as it will not be possible to install the tire pressure sensor properly.

The best way to keep carbon monoxide gas from entering inside your vehicle is to have the engine exhaust system properly serviced. Have a competent mechanic inspect the com-plete exhaust system and nearby body areas for broken, damaged, deteriorated, or mispo- sitioned parts if you notice 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 lubrication, oil changes, or required service. Any open seams or looseconnections could let dangerous exhaust fumes seep into the luggage compartment 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.
N00942500101
The hood lock release mechanism and hood safety catch should be checked, cleaned, and oiled when needed for easy movement and tostop rust and wear. Use Multipurpose Grease NLGI Grade 2 sparingly for all sliding parts of the hood latch and release lever. Work thegrease into the hood lock mechanism until all the movable surfaces are covered.
Also, put a light coat of the same grease on the safety catch wherever moving parts touch.
N00942600102
The ventilation slots in front of the wind-shield should be brushed clear after a heavysnowfall 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 getstranded.

3. Clamp it on the fuse you wish to remove, and pull the fuse straight out from the fuse block. 4. Use the fuse location diagrams and the matching tables, to check the fuse that isrelated to the problem. If the fuse is notblown, something else must be causing the problem. Have the system inspected by your authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer or a repair facility of your choice.
5. Insert a new fuse of the same capacity securely into the appropriate slot.
N00942901405
Before replacing the bulb, be sure the light is off. Do not touch the glass part of the newbulb with your bare fingers; the oil from your skin will stay on the glass and dim or destroy the bulb when it gets hot.
B- Fuse is OKC- Blown fuse
CAUTION Never use a fuse with a capacity greater than the one listed or any substitute, 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 facility 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 cool sufficiently before touching it. You could otherwise be burned. Do not install commercially available LED- type bulbs.Commercially available LED-type bulbs could adversely affect the operation of the vehicle, such as by preventing the lights andother vehicle equipment from operating properly. The headlight bulbs on this vehicle are high intensity discharge bulbs which contain mer- cury. If you need to have your vehicle dis-posed of, you should remove the high intensity discharge headlights before dis- posal. The removed high intensity discharge head- lights should be disposed of or recycled inaccordance with the applicable laws.[For vehicles sold in Canada]
