Proper tire inflation pres
sure is essential for
the safe and satisfactory operation of your vehicle. The wrong tire
pressure will cause
problems in three major areas: Safety Too little pressure increases flexing in the tire and can cause tire failure. Too much pressure can cause a tire to lose its ability to cushion shock. Objects on the road andpotholes could then cause tire damage that may result in tire failure. Economy The wrong tire pressure can cause uneven wear patterns in the tire tread. These abnormal wear patterns will reduce thetread life, and the tire will have to be replaced sooner. Too little pressure also makes it harder forthe tire to roll, and this uses up more fuel. Ride comfort and vehicle stability The superior riding
experience built into
your vehicle partly depends on the correct tire pressure. Too mu
ch pressure gives an
uncomfortable and ja
rring ride. Too little
pressure feels as if your vehicle is slow to respond. Unequal tire pressures can make steeringyour vehicle uneven and unpredictable.
The tire pressure for your vehicle under nor- mal driving conditions is listed on the placardattached to the driver’s door sill. (Refer to “Tire and loading information plac- ard” on page 11-3.)The recommended infl
ation pressures under
normal driving conditions should be used for the tires listed below. Tire pressures should be checked, and adjusted if necessary, at least once a month. Pressures should be checked more oftenwhenever weather temperatures change severely, becaus
e tire pressures change with
outdoor temperatures. The pressures listedare always “cold inflation pressure”. Cold inflation pressure is measured after the vehicle has been parked
for at least three
hours or is driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) after having been parked for three hours. Cold inflation pressure must not go above themaximum values molded into the tire side- wall. After driving se
veral miles, your tire
inflation pressure may increase 2 to 6 psi (14
to 41 kPa) from the cold inflation pressure. Do not let air out of the tires to get back to thespecified cold pressure, or your tires will be too low. Check your tires each time you refuel. If onetire looks lower than the others, check the pressure for all of them. You should also take the following safety pre-cautions: Keep your tires inflated to the recom- mended pressures. (See the tire and load- ing information placard attached to the driver’s door sill.) Stay within the recommended load limits. Make sure that the weight of any load in your vehicle is evenly distributed. Drive at safe speeds. After filling your tires to the correct pres- sure, check them for damage and air leaks. Be sure to reinstall the caps on thevalve stems.

Emission-control system maintenance 9-24 Vehicle care and maintenance

N00940800328
Your vehicle is equi
pped with an emission-
control system that me
ets all the requirements
of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agencyand Environment Cana
da. The emission-con-
trol system is made of: a positive crankcase ventilation system an evaporative emission-control system an exhaust emission-control system
To be sure the emission-control system works properly, have your vehicle inspected andmaintained by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice. This should be
done at the time or
mileage specified in the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”. These, and all the other “general” mainte-nance services listed in this manual, need to be performed to keep your vehicle running properly and reliably.You should also have an inspection and ser- vice any time you
suspect a malfunction.
N00940900231
Spark plugs must fire properly to ensure proper engine perfor
mance and emission-
control.Do not reuse spark plugs by cleaning or regapping. Spark plugs should be replaced at the mileage specified in the “WARRANTYAND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”.
N00941000040
Check the hose surfaces for any heat and mechanical damage, ha
rd 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. Check all the hose connections, such as clamps andcouplings, to make sure they are secure and that there are no leaks. If you see any wear or damage, replace the hoses immediately.
N00950100050
Have the valve clea
rance checked at an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer at the mileage specified in
the “WARRANTY AND
MAINTENANCE MANUAL”.If the engine sounds ab
normally loud, have
adjustments made by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
N00941300173
Check these regularly for damage or leaks in the fuel lines and conne
ctions. Check the fuel
tank filler cap for dama
ge or looseness. Pay
special attention to the fuel lines closest to
Emission-control system maintenance
NOTE
To meet government
regulations and pro-
mote cleaner air, your
vehicle is equipped
with an onboard diagnostic system (OBD).The engine electroni
c control module that
controls OBD functions
stores various data
(especially about th
e exhaust emissions).
This data will be erased if the battery cable is disconnected, which c
ould make a rapid
diagnosis difficult.
Do not disconnect the
battery cable when the engine malfunction indicator (“SERVIC
E ENGINE SOON” or
“Check engine light”) is ON.
Spark plugs
NOTE
Use the recommended or
equivalent spark
plugs listed under “Engi
ne specifications” on
page 11-6. Use of other plugs could cause engine damage, loss of
performance or radio
noise.

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.
N00941600059
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.

Check the following parts for damage andgrease leaks: Ball joint boots of the suspension and steering linkage Bellows on both ends of the drive shaft
N00942201118
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.
Evaporative emission control system (except evaporative emission canister) General maintenance
Disc brake pads Brake hoses
Ball joint, steering linkage seals, drive shaft boots Exhaust system
WA R N I N G Carbon monoxide gas
from your vehicle’s
exhaust is poisonous. Breathing thesefumes can cause unconsciousness or death.
