lWhen fitting accessories, ensure that
maximum gross vehicle weight and maximum axle weight are not exceeded.
Important points!
Due to large number of accessory and re- placement parts of different manufactures
available in the market, it is not possible, not
only for MITSUBISHI MOTORS , but also
for a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point, to check whether the attach- ment or installation of such parts affects theoverall safety of your MITSUBISHI-vehicle.
Even when such parts are officially author-
ized, for example by a “general operators permit” (an appraisal for the part) or throughthe execution of the part in an officially ap-
proved manner of construction, or when a single operation permit following the attach-
ment or installation of such parts, it cannot be deduced from that alone, that the driving
safety of your vehicles has not been affected.
Consider also that there basically exists no li- ability on the part of the appraiser or the offi-
cial. Only in the case of parts ( MITSUBISHI
MOTORS original replacement or exchange
parts as well as MITSUBISHI MOTORS
genuine accessories) that are recommended and released by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point and that are attach- ed or installed by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point can you assume, that optimal safety has been provided. Thesame also pertains to modifications of
MITSUBISHI vehicles with respect to the
production specifications. For your own safe-
ty, in such cases, you should only undertake
modifications according to the recommenda-
tions of a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point.Modification/alterations to

vehicle bodywork or improper installation methods are used, i.e. protective fuses not
installed, etc.), electronic devices may be ad- versely affected, possibly resulting in an
electrical fire or other failures that may cause an accident.Genuine parts

Fuel, engine coolant, oil and ex- haust gas leakage
Look under the body of your vehicle to check
for fuel, engine coolant, oil and exhaust gas
leaks.
WARNINGl If you see a suspicious fuel leak or if you
smell fuel, do not operate the vehicle; we recommend you to call for assistance.
Exterior and interior lamp op-
eration
Operate the combination lamp switch to
check that all lamps are functioning properly.
If the lamps do not illuminate, the probable cause is a blown fuse or defective lamp bulb.
Check the fuses first. If there is no blown
fuses, check the lamp bulbs.
For information regarding the inspection and
replacement of the fuses and the lamp bulbs, refer to “Fuses” on page 10-18 and “Re-
placement of lamp bulbs” on page 10-23.
If the fuses and bulbs are all OK, we recom- mend you to have your vehicle checked and
repaired.
Meter, gauge and indicator/
warning lamps operation
Run the engine to check the operation of all meters, gauges, and indicator/warning lamps.
If there is anything wrong, we recommend you to have your vehicle inspected.
Hinges and latches lubrication
Check all latches and hinges, and, if necessa- ry, have them lubricated.
For cold and snowy weather
E01002800299
Ventilation slots
The ventilation slots in front of the wind-
screen should be kept clear of leaves or brushed clear after heavy snowfall, so that
the operation of the heating and ventilation
systems will not be impaired.
Weatherstripping
To prevent freezing of the weatherstripping
on the doors, bonnet, etc., they should be treated with silicone grease.
General maintenance
10-17OVWX17E1Maintenance10
Additional equipment
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 and a plastic scraper for
the windscreen and rear window are also use- ful.
Fusible links
E01002900434
The fusible links will melt to prevent a fire if
a large current attempts to flow through cer- tain electrical systems.
In case of a melted fusible link, we recom- mend you to have your vehicle inspected.For the fusible links, please refer to “Fuse
load capacity” on page 10-18.
WARNINGl Fusible links must not be replaced by any
other device. Failing to fit the correct fusi- ble link may result in fire in the vehicle,
property destruction and serious or fatal injuries at any time.Fuses

To prevent damage to the electrical systemdue to short-circuiting or overloading, each individual circuit is provided with a fuse.
There are fuse blocks in the passenger com- partment and in the engine compartment.
Passenger compartment
The fuse block in the passenger compartment is located in front of the driver’s seat at the position shown in the illustration.
Engine compartment
In the engine compartment, the fuse blocks
are located as shown in the illustration.

The fuse block does not contain spare
7.5 A and 15 A fuses. If a fuse of one of these capacities blows, replace it tempo-
rarily by borrowing the one that matches
from:
7.5 A: Outside rear-view mirrors
15 A: Cigarette lighter
Replace the borrowed fuse as soon as
possible.

1. Before replacing a fuse, always turn off
the electrical circuit concerned and place
the ignition switch in the “LOCK” posi-
tion.
2. Pull the fuse block lid (A) to remove it.
3. Remove the fuse puller (B) from the fuse
block lid.
4. The replacement of fuses located in the
driver’s seat leg area should be per- formed from the hole of the fuse block
lid.
5. Referring to the fuse load capacity table,
check the fuse pertaining to the problem.
C- Fuse is OK
D- Blown fuse
NOTEl If any system does not function but the fuse
corresponding to that system is normal, theremay be a fault in the system elsewhere. We recommend you to have your vehiclechecked.
6. Insert a new fuse of the same capacity
by using the fuse puller into the same
place at the fuse block.
