If the fuel-vapor vent line is clogged or dam-aged, the fuel-vapor mixture will escape, pol- luting the air. Have the system checked at an authorizedMitsubishi Motors dealer at the mileage spec- ified in the “WARRANTY AND MAINTE- NANCE MANUAL”.

The next pages list th
e maintenance service
recommended by Mitsubishi Motors Corpo-ration. In addition to the general maintenance that needs to be performed at the times listed,
there are other parts which do not usually need regular maintenance.But, if any of these parts stops working prop- erly, your vehicle performance could suffer. Have these items checked if you notice aproblem with them. If you have any questions, see your autho- rized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer for assistance.

Good brakes are essential for safe driving. Check the brake pads for wear. For goodbraking performance, re
place the brake pads
with the same type pads as the originals.
N00941700076
Brake hoses and tubing should be checkedfor: Severe surface cracking, scuffing or worn spots. If the fabric casing of the hose isshowing through any cracks or worn spots in the rubber hose cover, the hose should be replaced. The brakes can fail if thehose wears through. Improper installation
may cause twisting,
or wheel, tire or chassis interference.

The best way to keep carbon monoxide gas from 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, de
teriorated, or mispo-
sitioned parts if you not
ice any of the follow-
ing: A change in the sound of the exhaust sys- tem The smell of exhaust fumes inside the vehicle
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.

WA R N I N G Carbon monoxide gas
from your vehicle’s
exhaust is poisonous. Breathing thesefumes can cause unconsciousness or death.

The underside or rear of the vehicle is damaged
Also check the exhaust system each time the vehicle 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 passenger
compartments. Check for holes or exhaust gas leaks caused by corrosion or damage. Check the joints and connections for looseness or exhaust gas leaks. Check the rubber hangers and brackets for damage.

The hood lock release mechanism and hoodsafety catch should be
checked, cleaned, and
oiled when needed for easy movement and to prevent rust and wear. Use Multipurpose Grease NLGI Grade 2 sp
aringly for all sliding
parts of the hood latc
h and release lever.
Work the grease into the hood lock mecha- nism until all the mo
vable surfaces are cov-
ered. Also, put a light coat of the same grease onthe safety catch wherev
er moving parts touch.
N00942600102
The ventilation slots in front of the wind- shield should be brushed clear after a heavy snowfall so that the operation of the heating and ventilation systems
will not be impaired.
To prevent freezing of the weatherstripping on the doors, engine hood, etc., they should be 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 get stranded. A small hand-brush for sweeping snow off the vehicle a
nd a plastic scraper for
the windshield, side and rear window are also useful.

The fusible links will melt to prevent a fire ifa large current attempts
to flow through cer-
tain electrical systems.In case of a melted fusible link, see your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice for inspection
and replacement. For the fusible links, pl
ease refer to “Fuse
load capacities” on page 9-28.

To prevent damage to the electrical system from short-circuiting
or overloading, each
individual circuit is e
quipped with a fuse. The
fuse blocks are locate
d in the passenger com-
partment and in the engine compartment.
The fuse blocks in the passenger compart- ment are located behind the fuse lid in front of the driver’s seat at the position shown in the illustration.Pull the fuse lid to remove it.
In the engine compartment, the fuse blocks are located as shown in the illustration. While pressing the tab (C), pull up the cover.
WA R N I N G Fusible links must not be replaced by any other device. Failing to fit the correct fus-ible link may result in fire in the vehicle,property destruction and serious or fatal injuries at any time.

4. Use the fuse location diagrams and the matching tables, to check the fuse that isrelated to the problem. If the fuse is not blown, something else
must be causing
the problem. Have the system inspectedby your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair fa
cility 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 is off. Do not touch the glass part of the new bulb with your bare fingers; the oil from yourskin will stay on the
glass and dim or destroy
the bulb when it gets hot.
B- Fuse is OK C- Blown fuse
CAUTION Never use a fuse with a capacity greater than the one listed or any substitute, 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 a short time, have the electrical systemchecked by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair fa
cility of your choice to
find and correct the cause.
Replacement of light bulbs
CAUTION Bulbs are extremely hot immediately after being 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, knocking, or scratching ahalogen 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 bulb to break the next ti
me the headlights are
used. If the glass surface is dirty, clean it with alcohol and let it dry completely beforeinstalling the bulb.CAUTION Do not install commercially available LED- type bulbs. Commercially available LED- type bulbs could advers
ely affect the opera-
tion of the vehicle, such as by preventing thelights and other vehi
cle equipment from
operating properly.CAUTION
