Normally, the catalytic converter does not require maintenance. However, it is important to keep the engine properly tuned for the con- verter to continue to work properly. To reduce the possibility of catalytic con- verter damage:  Use UNLEADED GASOLINE ONLY of the type recommended in “Fuel selection” on page 3-2.  Do not drive with an extremely low fuel level. Running out of gas could damage the catalytic converter.
 Do not try to start the engine by pushing or towing the vehicle. If the battery is weak or run down, use jumper cables to properly start the engine.Refer to “Jump-starting the engine” on page 8-2.  Do not idle the engine with any spark plug wires disconnected or removed, such as when performing diagnostic tests.  Do not idle the engine for a long time if it is idling roughly or otherwise obviouslymalfunctioning.  To prevent damage to the catalytic con- verter from unburned gas, do not race theengine when turning off the ignition switch.  Stop driving the vehicle if you think the performance is noticeably low, or the engine has a malfunction such as with the ignition, etc. If you
are not able to stop
driving immediately, slow down and drive for only a short time. Have your vehicle checked at an authorized MitsubishiMotors dealer or a repair facility of your choice as soon as possible.
 In unusual situations involving major engine problems, a burning odor may indicate severe and abnormal catalytic converter overheating. If this occurs, stopin a safe place, shut the engine off and let the vehicle cool. Once the engine is cool, immediately take your vehicle to anauthorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice for service.
N00937501650
Use the engine hood release lever (located under the instrument panel near the driver’s door) to unlock the engine hood. Pull the lever toward you to release the engine hood latch.
CAUTION Damage to the catalytic converter can result if your vehicle is not kept in proper operatingcondition. If the engine malfunctions or mis- fires, or if your vehicle performance suffers, have it serviced promptly. Running yourvehicle when it is overheated may result in damage to the converter and vehicle.WA R N I N G Do not park or run your vehicle in areas where combustible materials such as dry grass or leaves can come in contact with a hot exhaust, since a fire could occur. Do not put undercoat paint on the cata- lytic converter.

The fluid level falls slightly with wear of the brake pads, but this does not indicate anyabnormality. If the fluid level falls markedly in a short length of time, it indicates leaks from thebrake system. If this occurs, have the vehicle checked by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or arepair facility of your choice. Use the recommended brake fluid conform- ing to DOT 3 or DOT 4. The reservoir capmust be tightly sealed to keep dirt and water out.
N00939101979
The condition of the battery is very important for quick starting and to keep the vehicle’selectrical system working properly. Check the battery regularly. If battery performance is suspect, have the battery and charging system tested by an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice. The electrolyte level must be between the limits shown on the outside of the battery. Fill it with distilled water as needed. The inside ofthe battery is divided into several compart- ments. Take the cap off of each compartment and fill to the mark.Do not fill above the top line because a spill during driving could cause damage.
Fluid type
WA R N I N G Take care in handling brake fluid as it is harmful to the eyes, may irritate your skin and will damage painted surfaces. Wipe up spills immediately. If brake fluid gets on your hands or in your eyes, flush imme-diately with clean water. Follow up with a doctor as necessary.CAUTION Do not let any petroleum-based fluid touch, mix with, or get into the brake fluid. This will damage the seals. Use only the listed brake fluid. Different brands of brake fluid have different addi- tives, and these can cause a chemical reac-tion. Do not mix brands of brake fluid. Keep the reservoir tank cap closed to keep the brake fluid from evaporating.
Battery
NOTE
 After replacing the battery, the electronic control system data for the automatic trans- axle, etc., will be erased.As a result, shifting may be rough. Shifting will become smoother after several changes in speed.

It is important to familiarize yourself with the following terms:  Cold tire pressure: • The measured pressure after the vehicle has been parked for at least three hours,or • The measured pressure when the vehicle is driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) afterhaving been parked for three hours.
 Maximum pressure: the maximum per- missible cold tire inflation pressure forthis tire.
 Recommended inflation pressure: the inflation pressure for optimum tire perfor- mance.  Intended outboard sidewall: • The sidewall that contains a whitewall, bears white lettering or bears manufac- turer, brand, and/or model name moldingthat is higher or deeper than the same molding on the other sidewall of the tire, or• The outward facing sidewall of an asym-metrical tire that has a particular side that must always face outward when mounted on a vehicle.
 Passenger car tire: a tire intended for use on passenger cars,
multipurpose passen-
ger vehicles, and trucks that have a grossvehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 10,000 pounds or less.  Light truck (LT) tire: a tire designated by its manufacturer as primarily intended for use on lightweight trucks or multipurpose passenger vehicles. Tread: portion of a tire that comes into contact with the road.  Tread rib: a tread section running circum- ferentially around a tire.  Tread separation: pulling away of the tread from the tire carcass. Carcass: the tire structure, except tread and sidewall rubber which, when inflated, bears the load.
 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.NOTE
 Check each battery terminal for corrosion. You can prevent further corrosion by wash- ing with a solution of baking soda and water.Grease the posts and clamps after cleaning or tightening them.  Ensure the battery is securely installed and cannot be moved. Also check each terminal for tightness.  If you will not be driv
ing your vehicle for a
long period of time, remove the battery and store it in a place where the battery fluid will not freeze. The battery only should be storedwith a full charge.  Before cleaning the battery, tighten all the filler port caps to keep dirt and moisture out.WA R N I N G
Tires
WA R N I N G Driving with tires that are worn, damaged or improperly inflated is dangerous. These tire conditions will adversely affect vehicle performance.These tire conditions can also cause a tread separation or blowout which may result in an accident causing seriousinjury or death. Tires, including the spare tire, degrade over time with age even when they are not being used. It is recommended that tires over 6 yearsold generally be replaced even if damage is not obvious.
