The best way to keep carbon monoxide gasfrom entering inside your
vehicle is to have
the engine exhaust syst
em 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 no
tice any of the follow-
ing:A change in the sound of the exhaust sys-temThe smell of exhaust fumes inside thevehicle
WA R N I N GIf you see a fuel leak
or if you smell fuel,
do not run the engine. Any spark (includ-ing from the ignition
), flame or smoking
material could cause an explosion or fire.Call an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors
dealer or a repair fa
cility of your choice
for assistance.

The underside or rear of the vehicle isdamaged
Also check the exhaust system each time thevehicle is raised for l
ubrication, oil changes,
or required service. A
ny open seams or loose
connections could le
t dangerous exhaust
fumes seep into the luggage and passengercompartments.Check for holes or exhaust gas leakscaused by corrosion or damage.Check the joints and connections forlooseness or exhaust gas leaks.Check the rubber hangers and brackets fordamage.

The timing belt should be replaced with anew one at the mileage listed in the “WAR-RANTY AND MAINTENANCE MAN-UAL”.
N00942501124
The hood lock release mechanism and hoodsafety catch should be checked, cleaned, andoiled when needed for easy movement and toprevent rust and wear. Use MultipurposeGrease NLGI Grade 2 sparingly for all slidingparts 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.
N00942600102
The ventilation slots in
front of the wind-
shield should be brushed clear after a heavysnowfall so that the operation of the heatingand ventilation systems will not be impaired.
To prevent freezing of the weatherstrippingon the doors, engine hood, etc., they shouldbe 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 getstranded. A small hand-brush for sweepingsnow off the vehicle a
nd a plastic scraper for
the windshield, side a
nd rear window are also
useful.

4. Use the fuse location diagrams and thematching tables, to check the fuse that isrelated to the problem. If the fuse is notblown, something else must be causingthe problem. Have the system inspectedby your authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer or a repair facility of your choice.
5. Insert a new fuse
of the same capacity
securely into the appropriate slot.
N00942901391
Before replacing the bulb, be sure the light isoff. Do not touch the glass part of the newbulb with your bare fingers; the oil from yourskin will stay on the glass and dim or destroythe bulb when it gets hot.
B- Fuse is OKC- Blown fuse
CAUTIONNever use a fuse with a capacity greater thanthe one listed or any s
ubstitute, such as wire,
foil etc. This would
cause the circuit wiring
to heat up and could cause a fire.If the replacement fuse blows again after ashort time, have the electrical systemchecked by an authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer or a repair faci
lity of your choice to
find and correct
the cause.
Replacement of light bulbs
CAUTIONBulbs are extremely hot immediately afterbeing turned off.When replacing the bulb, wait for it to coolsufficiently before
touching it. You could
otherwise be burned.
Handle halogen light bul
b with care. The gas
inside a halogen light
bulb is highly pressur-
ized, so dropping, knocki
ng, or scratching a
halogen light bulb can
cause it to shatter.
Never hold the halogen
light bulb with a bare
hand, dirty glove, etc.The oil from your hand could cause the bulbto break the next time the headlights areused.If the glass surface is dirty, clean it withalcohol and let it dry completely beforeinstalling the bulb.CAUTIONDo not install commercially available LED-type bulbs. Commercia
lly available LED-
type bulbs could adversely affect the opera-tion of the vehicle, such as by preventing thelights and other vehicle equipment fromoperating properly.CAUTION
