In order to maintain the value of your vehicle, perform regular mainte
nance using the proper
materials and procedures. Be sure to use onlythose materials and proc
edures that meet your
local environmental pollution control regula- tions. Choose the materials you will use care-fully, to be sure that they do not contain corrosives. If you are
not sure, contact an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer for help in choosing these materials.
These can all be dangerous, and they all can damage your vehicle.

CAUTION Cleaning products can be dangerous. Some are poisonous and others
are highly flamma-
ble. Some are dangerous if you breathe their fumes in a closed sp
ace. When you use any-
thing in a container to
clean your vehicle, be
sure to follow the in
structions. Always open
your vehicle doors or windows when you’re cleaning the inside. Never use the followingchemicals to clean your vehicle:• Gasoline• Carbon Tetrachloride• Benzine• Kerosene• Naphtha• Acetone• Turpentine• Paint Thinner• Lacquer Thinner
• Nail Polish Remover
Cleaning the inside of your vehicle
CAUTION Do not use organic substances (solvents, benzine, kerosene, alc
ohol, gasoline, etc.) or
alkaline or acidic solutions.These chemicals can cause discoloring, staining or cracking of the surface. If you use cleaners or polishing agents, makesure their ingredients do not include the sub- stances mentioned above.NOTE
Always read the instru
ctions on the cleaner
label.CAUTION

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.
N00946501236
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.
