Your vehicle is equi
pped with an emission-
control system that meets all the requirementsof the U.S. Environm
ental Protection Agency
and Environment Cana
da. The emission-con-
trol system is made of:a positive crankcase 
ventilation system
an evaporative emis
sion-control system
an exhaust emission-control system
To be sure the emissi
on-control system works
properly, have your vehicle inspected andmaintained by an authorized MitsubishiMotors dealer or a repair facility of yourchoice. This should be done at the time ormileage 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.

Spark plugs must fire properly to ensureproper engine perfo
rmance and emission-
control.Do not reuse spark plugs by cleaning orregapping. Spark plugs should be replaced atthe mileage specified in the “WARRANTYAND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”.
Check the hose surfaces for any heat andmechanical damage, hard and brittle rubber,cracking, tears, cuts and abrasions. Pay spe-cial attention to the hos
es closest to high heat
sources such as the exhaust manifold. Checkall the hose connections
, such as clamps and
couplings, to make sure
 they are secure and
that there are no leaks. If you see any wear ordamage, replace the 
hoses immediately.

Emission-control system maintenance 
NOTE
To meet government regulations and pro-mote cleaner air, your
 vehicle is equipped
with an onboard dia
gnostic system (OBD).
The engine electronic control module thatcontrols OBD functions stores various data(especially a
bout the exhaust emissions).
This data will be erased if the battery cable isdisconnected, which c
ould make a rapid
diagnosis difficult. 
Do not disconnect the
battery cable when the engine malfunctionindicator (“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” or“Check engine 
light”) is ON.
Spark plugs 
NOTE
Use the recommended or equivalent sparkplugs listed under “Engin
e specifications” on
page 11-6. Use of other plugs could causeengine damage, loss of performance or radionoise.
