On a wet road
lWhen driving in rain or on a road with
many puddles a layer of water may form
between the tyres and the road surface.
This reduces a tyre’s frictional resistance on the road, resulting in loss of steering stability and braking capability.
To cope with this, observe the following
items:
(a) Drive your vehicle at a slow speed. (b) Do not drive on worn tyres. (c) Always maintain the specified tyre inflation pressures.
On a snow-covered or frozen road
l When driving on a snow-covered or fro-
zen road, it is recommended that you use
snow tyres or snow traction device (tyre chains).
Refer to the “Snow tyres” and “Snow
traction device (tyre chains)” sections.
l Avoid high-speed operation, sudden ac-
celeration, abrupt brake application and
sharp cornering.
l Depressing the brake pedal during travel
on snowy or icy roads may cause tyre
slippage and skidding. When traction be-
tween the tyres and the road is reduced
the wheels may skid and the vehicle can- not readily be brought to a stop by con-
ventional braking techniques. Braking will differ, depending upon whether you have anti-lock brake system (ABS). Ifyou do have ABS, brake by pressing the
brake pedal hard, and keeping it pressed. If you do not have ABS, pump the brake
pedal with short rapid jabs, each time
fully applying and fully releasing for
greatest effect.
l Allow extra distance between your vehi-
cle and the vehicle in front of you, and avoid sudden braking.
l Accumulation of ice on the braking sys-
tem can cause the wheels to lock. Pull
away from a standstill slowly after con- firming safety around the vehicle.CAUTIONl Do not press the accelerator pedal rapidly. If
the wheels break free of the ice, the vehicle
could suddenly start moving and possibly
cause an accident.On a bumpy or rutted road
Drive as slow as possible when driving on
bumpy or rutted roads.
CAUTIONl The impact on tyres and/or wheels when
driving on a bumpy or rutted road can dam-
age the tyre and/or wheel.

Fluid type
Use “MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE
PSF (Power Steering Fluid)”.
Battery
E01001203662
The condition of the battery is very important
for quick starting of the engine and proper functioning of the vehicle’s electrical system.
Regular inspection and care are especially
important in cold weather.
Checking battery electrolytelevel
The electrolyte level must be between the specified limit on the outside of the battery.
Replenish with distilled water as necessary.
The inside of the battery is divided into sev-
eral compartments; remove the cap from each
compartment and fill to the upper mark. Do
not top up beyond the upper mark because spillage during driving could cause damage.
Check the electrolyte level at least once every
4 weeks, depending on the operating condi- tions.
If the battery is not used, it will discharge by
itself with time.
Check it once every 4 weeks and charge with
low current as necessary.
During cold weather
The capacity of the battery is reduced at low temperatures. This is an inevitable result of
its chemical and physical properties. This is why a very cold battery, particularly one that
is not fully charged, will only deliver a frac- tion of the starter current which is normallyavailable.
We recommend you to have the battery checked before the start of cold weather and,if necessary, have it charged or replaced.
This does not only ensure reliable starting,
but a battery which is kept fully charged also has a longer life.
Disconnection and connection
To disconnect the battery cable, stop the en-
gine, first disconnect the negative (-) terminal and then the positive (+) terminal. When con-
necting the battery, first connect the positive
(+) terminal and then the negative (-) termi-
nal.
NOTEl Open the terminal cover (A) before discon-
necting or connecting the positive (+) termi-
nal of the battery.

3.Attach the retainers (C) to a new wiper
blade.
Refer to the illustration to ensure that the
retainers are correctly aligned as you at- tach them.
4. Insert the wiper blade into the arm, start-
ing with the opposite end of the blade from the stopper. Make sure the hook
(B) is fitted correctly in the grooves inthe blade.
NOTEl If retainers are not supplied with the new
wiper blade, use the retainers from the old
blade.5. Push the wiper blade until the hook (B)
engages securely with the stopper (A).General maintenance

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; call
your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point 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 bulbs, refer
to “Fuses” on page 10-17 and “Replacement
of lamp bulbs” on page 10-22.
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
Start the engine to check the operation of all
instruments, gauges, and indication and 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.

l Some fuses may not be installed on your
vehicle, depending on the vehicle model
or specifications.
l The table above shows the main equip-
ment corresponding to each fuse.
The fuse block does not contain spare 7.5 A ,
10 A or 15 A fuses. If one of these fuses burns out, substitute with the following fuse.7.5 A: Outside rear-view mirrors
10 A: Option
15 A: Cigarette lighter
When using a substitute fuse, replace with a
fuse of the correct capacity as soon as possi- ble.
