•The measured pressure after the vehicle has been parked for at least three hours, or•The measured pressure when the vehicle is driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) after having beenparked for three hours.
Maximum pressure: the maximumpermissible cold tire inflationpressure for this tire.Recommended inflation pressure:the inflation pressure for optimumtire performance.Intended outboard sidewall:•The sidewall that contains awhitewall, bears white lettering or bears manufacturer, brand, and/or model name molding thatis higher or deeper than the same molding on the other sidewall of the tire,or
•The outward facing sidewall ofan asymmetrical tire that has a particular side that must always face outward when mounted on avehicle.
Passenger car tire: a tire intendedfor use on passenger cars, multi-purpose passenger vehicles, and trucks that have a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 10,000pounds or less.Light truck (LT) tire: a tire desig-nated by its manufacturer as pri-marily intended for use on lightweight trucks or multipurpose passenger vehicles.Tread: portion of a tire that comes into contact with the road.Tread rib: a tread section running circumferentially around a tire.Tread separation: pulling away ofthe tread from the tire carcass.Carcass: the tire structure, excepttread and sidewall rubber which, when inflated, bears the load.Sidewall: portion of a tire between the tread and bead.
Section width: the linear distancebetween the exteriors of the side- walls of an inflated tire, excluding elevations due to labeling, decora-tion, or protective bands.Bead: the part of the tire that ismade of steel wires, wrapped orreinforced by ply cords and that is shaped to fit the rim.Ply: a layer of rubber-coated par- allel cords.Cord: the strands

European/Japanese metric tire sizing is based on European/Jap- anese design standards. Tiresdesigned to these standards have the tire size molded into the sidewall beginning with the sec-tion width. The letter “P” is absent from this tire size desig- nation.Example: 215/65R15 96H.
LT (Light Truck) -metric tiresizing is based on U.S.A. design standards. The size designation for LT-metric tires is the same asfor P-metric tires except for the letters “LT” that are molded into the sidewall preceding the sizedesignation. Example: LT235/85R16.Temporary spare tires are highpressure compact spares designed for temporary emer-gency use only. Tires designed to this standard have the letter “T” molded into the sidewallpreceding the si
ze designation.

Check the hose surfaces for any heat and mechanical damage, hard 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 and
couplings, 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 clearance checked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer at the mileage specified in the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”.If the engine sounds abnormally loud, have adjustments made by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.

Check these regularly for damage or leaks in the fuel lines and connections. Check the fuel tank filler cap for dama
ge or looseness. Pay
special attention to the fuel lines closest to
high heat sources such
as the exhaust mani-
fold.

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”.

NOTE
To meet government regulations and pro- mote cleaner air, your
vehicle is equipped
with an onboard dia
gnostic system (OBD).
The engine electronic 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 could make a rapid diagnosis difficult.
Do not disconnect the
battery cable when the engine malfunction indicator (“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” or “Check engine
light”) is ON.
Spark plugs
NOTE
Use the spark plugs listed under “Engine specifications” on page 11
-5 or plugs that are
exactly the same. Other plugs could cause engine damage, performance problems orradio noise.
Fuel hoses Intake valve clearance Fuel system (tank, pipe line and connection, and fuel tank filler cap)
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 ventilation slots in
front of the wind-
shield should be brushed clear after a heavysnowfall 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 getstranded. A small hand-brush for sweeping
snow off the vehicle a
nd a plastic scraper for
the windshield, side a
nd 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 inspectionand replacement. For the fusible links, please refer to “Fuse load capacities” on page 9-25.
N00942800902
To prevent damage to the electrical systemfrom short-circuiting
or overloading, each
individual circuit
is equipped with a fuse. The
fuse blocks are located in the passenger com-partment and in the engine compartment. The fuse block in the
passenger compartment
is located in front of the driver’s seat at the position shown in the illustration. In the engine compartment, the fuse block is located as shown in
the illustration.
While pressing the tab (A or B), pull up the cover.

1. Before replacing a fuse, always turn off the electrical item concerned to the fuseand turn the ignition switch to the “OFF” position or put th
e operation mode in
OFF.2. There is a fuse remover (A) in the engine compartment fuse block.
3. Clamp it on the fuse you wish to remove, and pull the fuse straight out from the fuseblock. 4. Use the fuse location diagrams and the matching tables, to check the fuse that is related to the problem. If the fuse is notblown, something else must be causing the problem. Have the system inspected by your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.

5. Insert a new fuse
of the same capacity
securely into the appropriate slot.
N00942901362
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 fuseCAUTION Never use a fuse with a capacity greater than the 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 a short time, have the electrical system checked by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair faci
lity of your choice to
find and correct
the cause.
Replacement of light bulbs
CAUTIONBulbs 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 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 bulb to break the next time the headlights areused. 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 availa
ble LED-type bulbs
could adversely affect the operation of thevehicle, such as by preventing the lights and other vehicle equi
pment from operating
properly.NOTE
If you are unsure of how to carry out the work as required, it is recommended that these procedures be ca
rried out by an autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer or a repair
facility of your choice. Be careful not to scratch the vehicle body when removing a light and lens.
