Your vehicle is equipped with an emission-control system that meets all the requirementsof 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 MitsubishiMotors dealer or a repair facility of your choice. This should be done at the time or mileage specified in the “WARRANTY ANDMAINTENANCE MANUAL”. These, and all the other “general” mainte- nance services listed in this manual, need tobe performed to keep your vehicle running properly and reliably. You should also have an inspection and ser-vice any time you suspect a malfunction.
N00940900231
Spark plugs must fire properly to ensureproper engine performance and emission-control. Do not reuse spark plugs by cleaning or regapping. Spark plugs should be replaced atthe mileage specified in the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”.
CAUTION If the rear wiper is not stopped within the mark (A), the wiper arm will contact the roofspoiler and you will not be able to lift the wiper arm. If you forcefully try to lift the wiper arm, the wiper arm and roof spoilercould be damaged or the painted surfaces could be scratched.
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 recommended or equivalent spark plugs listed under “Engine specifications” on page 11-6. Use of other plugs could cause engine damage, loss of performance or radionoise.

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 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.
N00942501124
The hood lock release mechanism and hood safety catch should be checked, cleaned, and oiled when needed for easy movement and toprevent rust and wear. Use Multipurpose Grease NLGI Grade 2 spar
ingly for all sliding
parts of the hood latch and release lever.Work the grease into the hood lock mecha-
nism until all the movable surfaces are cov- ered. Also, put a light coat of the same grease on the safety catch wherever moving parts touch.
N00942601141
The ventilation slots in front of the wind- shield should be brushed clear after a heavy snowfall so that the operation of the heatingand 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

N00942901418
Before replacing a 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.
N00943001197
Replacement of light bulbs
CAUTION Bulbs are extremely hot immediately after being turned off.When replacing a bulb, wait for it to cool sufficiently before touching it. You could otherwise be burned. Handle halogen light bulb with care. The gas inside a halogen light bulb is highly pressur-ized, so dropping, knocking, or scratching a halogen light bulb can cause it to shatter.
 Never hold a 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 are used.If the glass surface is dirty, clean it with alcohol and let it dry completely before installing the bulb. 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.NOTE
 If you are unsure of how to carry out the work as required, it is recommended that these procedures be carried out by an autho- rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repairfacility of your choice.CAUTION
 Be careful not to scratch the vehicle body when removing a light and lens.  When it rains, or when the vehicle has been washed, the inside of the lens sometimesbecomes temporarily foggy. This is the same phenomenon as when window glass mists up on a humid day, and does not indicate a func-tional problem. When the light is switched on, the heat will remove the fog. However, if water gathersinside the light, please have it checked by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
Bulb location and capacity
CAUTION When replacing a bulb, be sure to use a new bulb of the same type, wattage, and color.If you install a different bulb, the bulb could malfunction or fail to come on and could lead to a vehicle fire.NOTE
