To protect your vehicle’s finish, wash it often and thoroughly. If desired, you may wax your vehicle using a nonabra
sive automobile wax.
Plastic, vinyl leat
her, fabric and
flocked parts
NOTE
Do not use cleaners, conditioners, and pro- tectants containing silicones or wax.Such products, when applied to the instru- ment panels or other pa
rts, may cause reflec-
tions on the windshield and obscure vision.Also, if such products
get on the switches of
the electrical accessories, it may lead to fail- ure of these accessories.
Upholstery
NOTE
If fuzzing is difficult to remove from the seat upholstery, draw a suit
able defuzzing brush
over the surface in one direction.
Genuine leather
(if so equipped)
NOTE
If genuine leather is we
t with water, wipe it
with a dry, soft cloth. If left damp, mildewmay grow. The genuine leather su
rface can be damaged
if brushed with a nylon or synthetic fiberbrush. Organic solvents such as benzine, kerosene, alcohol, gasoline, or acid
or alkaline solvents
can discolor the genuine
leather surface and
should not be used. Genuine leather can
mildew if not kept
clean. Clean up any oil
stains immediately.
The genuine leather su
rface may harden and
shrink if it is exposed to the direct sunlightfor long hours. When your vehicle is parked, place it in the shade as much as possible. When the temperature of the vehicle interior rises in summer, vinyl
products left on the
genuine leather seat
may deteriorate and
stick to the seat.

Industrial pollution, road tar, bird droppings, tree sap, insect remain
s, sea water and other
foreign matters can damage the finish on yourvehicle. Generally, the longer any foreign material stays on the finish, the worse the damage.Wash your vehicle as soon as possible when- ever the finish gets soiled.
N00945901666
Chemicals cont
ained in the dirt and dust
picked up from air, rain, snow, or road sur-faces can damage the paint and body of your vehicle if left on. Frequent washing and wa
xing is the best way
to protect your vehicl
e from this damage.
Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight. Park the vehicle in the shade and spray it withwater to remove dust.
Next, using plenty of
clean water and
a car washing mitt or sponge,
wash the vehicle from top to bottom.Use a mild car washing soap if necessary. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a cham- ois or soft cloth. After washing the vehicle,carefully clean the joints and flanges of the doors, hood, etc., wher
e dirt is likely to
remain.
Salt and other chemicals spread on winter roads in some geographical areas can have a detrimental effect on the vehicle underbody.You should flush the underbody with a high pressure hose every time you wash the out- side of your vehicle.Take special care to
remove mud or other
debris which could trap and hold salt and moisture. After washing your vehicle, wipe off all waterdrops from the rubber parts around thedoors to prevent the doors from freezing.
N00946000234
Wax your vehicle once or twice a year, orwhen water does not bead up on the paint.
Foreign material Wa s h i n g
CAUTION When washing the underside of your vehicle or the wheels, wear a pair of gloves to pro-tect your hands. Never spray or splash
water on the electrical
parts in the engine compartment. This maydamage them. Be careful also when washing the underbody to ensure that water does not enter the engine compartment. Avoid automatic car washers that use rotat- ing brushes. These brushes may scratch thepaint surface and make it dull. Scratches are more not
iceable on darker col-
ored vehicles. Some hot water wash
ing equipment uses
high pressure and heat to clean your vehicle.Because hot water can da
mage plastics parts
and seep inside your ve
hicle, make sure you
do the following when using such equip-ment:• Keep the washing nozzle at least 28 inches(70 cm) away from the vehicle body.• When washing around the door glass, holdthe nozzle at a distance of more than 28 inches (70 cm) and at a right angle to the glass surface.
Make sure to do the following when using an automatic car wash, with help from eitherthis manual or the car wash operator, to avoid damaging your vehicle:• Fold the outside rearview mirrors.• Remove the antenna.
During cold weather
NOTE
When the door is frozen, opening it by force may tear off or crack the rubber gasket installed around the door. Pour warm water to melt the ice. Be sure to thoroughly wipeoff the water after opening the door. To pre- vent freezing of the we
atherstripping on the
doors, hood, etc., treat with silicone lubri-cant.

Use a soft cloth to put a small amount of wax on the painted surfaces. After the wax hasdried, polish with a dry soft cloth. Do not wax your vehicle
in direct sunlight.
You should wax when the painted surfacesare cool.
N00946100046
If painted surfaces ha
ve been severely dam-
aged and lost their original luster and color tone, polish the surface lightly with a finepolishing compound. Avoid limiting your polishing to the damage
d surface only; polish
a somewhat wider area, moving the polishing
cloth in one direction.
After polishing, flush
the compound from the surface and apply acoat of wax to regain a beautiful luster.
N00946200092
Small cracks and scratches in the paint coatshould be touched up as soon as possible with touch-up paint to prevent corrosion. Check body areas facing the road or the tires carefully for damage to the paint caused by flying stones, etc. The paint code number foryour vehicle can be found on the vehicle information code plate
on the front passenger
door sill.
N00946300194
Use a sponge or chamoi
s to clean these parts.
If a vehicle wax sticks
to a gray or black
rough surface of the bumper, molding or lights, the surface may appear white in color. In this case, wipe it off using lukewarm waterand a soft cloth or chamois.
N00946400052
To prevent spots and corrosion of chromeparts, wash with water, dry thoroughly, andapply a nonabrasive automotive wax. If the chrome is severely damaged or pitted, use a commercially available chrome polish.

1. Remove dirt using a wet sponge.2. Use a mild detergent
on any dirt that can-
not be removed easily with water. Rinse off the detergent after washing the wheels.3. Dry the wheels thoroughly using a cham- ois leather or a soft cloth.
CAUTION Waxes containing high abrasive compounds should not be used. These waxes remove rustand stain effectively from the paintwork, but are harmful to the finish of the paint, because they also remove paint/clearcoat.They are also harmful to other glossy sur- faces such as the grille, trim, moldings, etc. Do not use gasoline, benzine, kerosene or paint thinners to remove road tar or other dirt from the vehicle surface. Do not put wax on the areas having black matte coating because
it can cause uneven
discoloration, patches, bl
urs, etc. If these get
wax on them, wipe the wax off right away with a soft clot
h and warm water.
Polishing
Damaged paint Cleaning plastic parts
CAUTION Do not use a scrubbing brush or other rough scrubber as these may damage the plastic surface.
Do not use wax containing compounds (pol- ishing powder) which
may damage the plas-
tic surface. Do not let plastic parts
get soiled with gaso-
line, oil, brake fluids, engine oils, greases,paint thinner, and sulfuric acid (battery elec- trolyte), as such substa
nces will cause stains,
cracks, or discoloration.If any of these get on a plastic part, wipe them up with a soft cloth or chamois and a mild solution of soap and water. Then rinsethem immediately with water.

Never spray or splash
water on the electrical
accessories in the engine compartment. This puts the engine at ri
sk of being damaged.
Do not bring the circum
ferential parts, the
plastic parts and so on in
to contact with sulfu-
ric acid (battery electrolyte) which maycrack, stain or discolor them. If they are in contact, wipe off with soft cloth, chamois or the like and an aqueous solution of neutral detergent then immediately rinse the affected parts with plenty of water.
CAUTION Do not use a brush or other hard implement on the wheels. Do not use any cleaner th
at contains an abra-
sive substance or is ac
idic or alkaline. Doing
so could cause the coating on the wheels topeel or become disc
olored or stained.
Do not directly apply
hot water using a steam
cleaner or by any other means. Contact with seawater or road salt used for de-icing can cause corro
sion. Rinse off such
substances as s
oon as possible.

We hope you will neve
r be involved in an
accident, but there is always that potential danger. So, please be sure to buckle up and drive safely.
Remain calm. Check for injuries. Report all injuries to the police, and, if
necessary, call for an
ambulance. Record all the details of the accident. This will provide you with accurate records of the accident for discussions with yourinsurance company and other persons who may be acting on your behalf. Understand your repair
estimate before
approving repairs. Choosing the repair shop and the brands of parts that they use on your vehicle is your decision. Ask for genuine Mitsubishi Motors parts. Many times, to save money, your insur- ance company will recommend imitationparts that do not meet the original specifi- cations of fit, finish, corrosion resistance or workmanship.
The strength and integrity built into your vehicle is the result of a specific designreferred to as “Ener
gy Management”. Indi-
vidual body parts are designed to act as one unit in the event of an accident. Shock wavesare absorbed by protective panels or are chan- neled around the passenger compartment. This important featur
e is possible because
high tensile steel is used
in panels and struc-
tural parts, something
that cannot be guaran-
teed by the manufacturers
of imitation parts.
All Genuine Mitsubish
i Motors body panels
and support brackets are designed and con-structed as important
protection features in
the event of an accident. By replacing body parts with non-Genuine Mitsubishi Motorsparts, your vehicle may
no longer meet origi-
nal equipment specifications. As a consumer requesting repair on your vehicle, you have consum
er rights. Across the
country, State Insurance Commissioners have begun considering rules on the use of non- OEM parts. This could
mean that repair shops
