1. Park the vehicle in the shade wheneverpossible. Parking in the hot sun makes the vehicle interior extremely hot which then requires more time to cool. If it is neces-sary to park in the sun, open the windows for the first few minutes of air condition- ing to expel the hot air.2. Afterwards, keep the windows closedwhen the air conditioning is in use. The entry of outside air through open windows will reduce cooling efficiency.
Defrosting or defogging (wind- shield, door windows)
CAUTION For safety, make sure you have a clear view through all the windows.
For ordinary defrosting
For quick defrosting NOTE
While the mode selection dial is set to the “ ” position, the air conditioning com- pressor will run automatically. The outside air position will also be selected automati-cally.
While the “ ” position is selected, you cannot turn the air conditioning off or select the recirculation position. This prevents the windows from fogging up. To defog quickly, direct
the air flow from the
side vents toward the door windows. When defrosting, do not set the temperature control dial to the maximum cool position.This will blow cool air on the window glass and fog it up.

3. When running the air conditioning, make sure the air intake, which is located in front of the windshield, is free of obstruc- tions such as leaves. Leaves collected inthe air-intake chamber may reduce air flow and plug the water drains.
If the air conditioning seems less effective than usual, the cause might be a refrigerantleak. Have the system inspected by your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facilityof your choice.
The air conditioning should be operated for at least five minutes each week, even in coldweather. This includes the quick defrosting mode. Operating the air condition system weekly maintains lubrication of the compres-sor internal parts to keep the air conditioning in the best operating condition.

The audio system can only be used when the ignition switch or the operation mode is in ON or ACC.
Air conditioning system refrig- erant and lubricant recommen-dations
CAUTION The air conditioning system in your vehicle must be charged with the refrigerant HFC- 134a and the lubricant SUN-PAG56. Use of any other refrigerant or lubricant will cause severe damage and may require replac-ing your vehicle’s entire air conditioning system. The release of refrigerant into the atmo-sphere is not recommended. The new refrigerant HFC-134a in your vehi- cle is designed not to harm the earth’s ozonelayer. However, it may contribute slightly to global warming. It is recommended that the old refrigerant besaved and recycled for future use.
During a long period of disuse Air purifier
NOTE
Operation in certain conditions such as driv- ing on a dusty road and frequent use of the air conditioning can lead to reduction of ser-vice life of the filter.
When you feel that the
air flow is lower than normal or when the windshield or windows start to fog up easily,replace the air filter. Contact your Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice for assistance.

It is normal for an engi
ne to use oil. You may
need to add oil between the recommended oilchange intervals. Before starting the engine, check the engine oil level. Refill if necessary. To check the oil level, remove the dipstick, wipe it off, and gently reinsert it all the way. Slowly pull the dipstick straight out andcheck the oil level by checking the upper sur- face of the dipstick. Th
e oil level must not go
above the line on the dipstick. If the level does not reach the line which shows the smallest amount of oil required, remove the oil filler cap on the engine valve cover, and fill to within the “Good” range.

NOTE
If it is difficult to verify the oil level, wipe off the dipstick and reinsert it. Wait a moment and then recheck the oil level bychecking the upper surface of the dipstick.
CAUTION Overfilling will cause oil aeration and loss of oil pressure, which could damage the engine.WA R N I N G Used engine oil is poisonous, and can dam- age your skin. Prolonged and repeated contact may cause serious skin disorders, including dermatitis and cancer. Do not letused oil touch your skin and wash thor- oughly after working with it. Keep used oil out of the reach of children.NOTE

The brake fluid and the clutch fluid share the reservoir tank.
The fluid level must be between the “MAX” and “MIN” marks on the reservoir. The fluid level falls slightly with wear of the brake pads, but this does not indicate any abnormality. The fluid in the master cylinder should be checked when doing other work under theengine hood. The brake system should also be checked for leaks at the same time. If the fluid level falls markedly in a shortlength of time, it indicates leaks from the brake system. If this occurs, have the vehicle checked by anauthorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.

The battery is weaker in cold temperatures. This has to do with its chemical and physicalproperties and is why a very cold battery, especially one with a low charge, will have a hard time starting your vehicle.It is recommended that you have your battery and charging system checked by an autho- rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repairfacility of your choice before the start of coldweather. If necessary, have it charged. This will guarantee more reliable starting, and lon- ger battery life.

To disconnect the battery cable, stop theengine. Disconnect the negative (-) terminalfirst, then the positive (+) terminal. To recon- nect the battery, first connect the positive (+) terminal and then the negative (-) terminal,before starting the vehicle.During cold weather Disconnection and connection
NOTE
Open the terminal cover (A) before discon- necting or connecting the positive (+) termi- nal of the battery.
Loosen the nut (B) and then disconnect the battery cable from the positive (+) terminal.WA R N I N G Never disconnect the battery while the engine is running, or you could damagethe vehicle’s electrical parts. Never short-circuit the battery. This could cause it to overheat and be damaged. Keep sparks, cigarettes, and flames away from the battery because the battery could explode. Electrolyte (battery acid) is made of corro- sive diluted sulfuric
acid. If it spills on
nearby parts, it can crack, stain, or dis-color them. And if it gets on your skin or in your eyes, it can cause burns or blind- ness. Please observe the following han- dling instructions:NOTE
• If electrolyte gets on plastic parts orother nearby parts, wi
pe it off with a soft
cloth or chamois soaked in a solution of water and neutral detergent then imme- diately rinse the affected parts withplenty of water.• If electrolyte gets on your hands orclothes, rinse thoroughly with water. If electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush them with water immediately and get immedi-ate medical attention.
Open doors and windows in any closed space where you may be charging or working with the battery. Always wear protective clothing and gog- gles when working with the battery, or have a skilled automobile technician do it. If you are quick-charging your battery, first disconnect the battery cables. In order to prevent a short-circuit, be sure to disconnect the negative (-) terminalfirst, and reconnect it last. If the electrolyte level is very low, have the battery checked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facil- ity of your choice. Battery posts, terminals and related acces- sories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.WA R N I N G

Your vehicle is equipped with an emission-control system that meets all the requirements of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
and Environment Canada. 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 and maintained by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of yourchoice. This should be done at the time ormileage 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 running properly and reliably.You should also have an inspection and ser- vice any time you suspect a malfunction.
N00940900228
Spark plugs must fire properly for good engine performance and emission-control.Do not reuse them by cleaning or regapping. Change them at the mileage listed in the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCEMANUAL”.
Wiper blades
NOTE
Do not run the wipers on dry glass for a long time. This wears out the rubber and can scratch the glass.
During cold weather Emission-control system maintenance
NOTE
To meet government regulations and pro- mote cleaner air, your vehicle is equipped with an onboard diagnostic system (OBD). The engine electronic control module that controls OBD functions stores various data(especially about the exhaust emissions). This data will be erased if the battery cable is disconnected, which could make a rapiddiagnosis difficult. Do not disconnect the battery cable when the engine malfunction indicator (“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” or“Check engine light”) is ON.
Spark plugs
NOTE
Use the spark plugs listed under “Engine specifications” on page 11-4 or plugs that are exactly the same. Other plugs could causeengine damage, performance problems or radio noise.
