Only use the designated positions shown in the illustration.
N00937400450
The catalytic converter requires you to use unleaded fuel only. Leaded gasoline willdestroy the emission-control effectiveness of the converter. Normally, the
catalytic converter does not
require maintenance. Ho
wever, it is important
to keep the engine properly tuned for the con- verter to continue to work properly.
To reduce the possibili
ty of catalytic con-
verter damage:  Use UNLEADED GASOLINE ONLY of the type of recommended in the “Fuel selection”.  Do not drive with an extremely low fuel level. Running out of gas could damage the catalytic converter.  Do not try to start the engine by pushing or towing the vehicle. If the battery is weak or run down, use jumper cables to properly start the engine. Do not idle the engine with any spark plug wires disconnected or
removed, such as
when performing diagnostic tests. Do not idle the engine for a long time if it is idling roughly or otherwise obviously malfunctioning. To prevent the catalytic converter from being damaged from unburned gas, do not race the engine when stopping the engine.
If your vehicle is raised with a garage jack *- Front of the vehicleWA R N I N G Set a garage jack only at the position shown here. If the gar
age jack is set a
wrong position, it could damage your vehicle and/or your
vehicle might fall
from the jack causing injury or death.
Never use the rear suspensions as a jack-ing point.
 Do not use the jack on a tilted or soft sur- face.Otherwise, the jack might slip and causepersonal injury. Always
use the jack on a
flat, hard surface. Before setting the jack, make sure there are no sand or pebblesunder the jack base.
Catalytic converter
CAUTION Damage to the catalytic
converter can result
if your vehicle is not
kept in proper operating
condition. If the engine
malfunctions or mis-
fires, or if your vehi
cle performance suffers,
have it serviced
promptly. Running your
vehicle when it is ove
rheated may result in
damage to the conve
rter and vehicle.
WA R N I N G
WA R N I N GDo not park or run your vehicle in areas where combustible materials such as drygrass or leaves can come
in contact with a
hot exhaust, since a fire could occur. Do not put undercoat paint on the cata- lytic converter.

Engine Oil is recommended for optimum fueleconomy and cold weather starting. If Mitsubishi Motors Genuine 0W-20 Syn- thetic Engine Oil is not available, 5W-20grade oils displaying th
e ILSAC certification
can be used. However, Mitsubishi Motors Genuine 0W-20Synthetic Engine Oil s
hould be used at the
next oil change to maintain optimum fuel economy and cold weather starting. The oil filter should be replaced at the time or mileage specified in the “WARRANTY ANDMAINTENANCE MANUAL”. Only use high quality
replacement filters on
this vehicle. The manufacturer’s specifica-tions for Mitsubishi Mo
tors Genuine oil fil-
ters require that the filter can withstand a pressure of 256 psi (1.8 MPa). A MitsubishiMotors Genuine oil filter
is the best replace-
ment filter. Follow the installation instructions printed onthe filter.

The engine coolant reservoir (A) lets youquickly see when you need to add coolant. When the engine is cold
, the level of the cool-
ant in the reservoir should be between the “F”(FULL) and “L” (LOW) marks. The radiator usually stays full so there is no reason to remove the radiator cap (B) except when youcheck the coolant freeze point or replace the antifreeze coolant.
Mitsubishi Motors Genuine Coolant provides excellent protection
against corrosion and
rust formation on all me
tals, including alumi-
num, and prevents clogs in some parts of theengine. If you need to add coolant often, or if the level in the reservoir does not drop when theengine cools, the c
ooling system should be
pressure-tested for leaks. Take your vehicle to an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or arepair facility of your
choice for testing.

Tires 9-16 Vehicle care and maintenance

The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of thetire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test course. For example, a tiregraded 150 would wear one and one- half (1
1/2) times as well on the gov-
ernment course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditionsof their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, servicepractices and differences in road characteristic
s and climate.
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B and C. Those grades represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured
under controlled conditions on speci- fied government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction perfor-mance. The temperature grades are A (the highest), B and C, representing thetire’s resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled condi-tions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high tempera- ture can cause the material of the tireto degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C cor-responds to a level of performance which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehi-cle Safety Standard No. 109. GradesB and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required bylaw.

Proper tire inflation pressure is essential for the safe and satisfactory operation of your vehicle. The wrongtire pressure will cause problems in three major areas:SafetyToo little pressure increases flex- ing in the tire and can cause tirefailure. Too much pressure can cause a tire to lose its ability to cushion shock.
Objects on the
road and potholes could then cause tire damage that may result in tire failure.Economy The wrong tire pressure can cause uneven wear patterns in the tiretread. These abnormal wear pat- terns will reduce the tread life, and the tire will have to be replacedsooner.Too little pressure also makes it harder for the 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 pres-sure. Too much pressure gives an uncomfortable and jarring ride. Too little pressure feels as if yourvehicle is slow to respond. Unequal tire pressures can make steering your vehicle uneven andunpredictable.
The tire pressure for your vehicle under normal driving conditions is listed on the placard attached to the driver’s door sill.(Refer to “Tire and loading informa- tion placard” on page 11-3.)
The recommended inflation pres- sures under normal driving condi- tions 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 often whenever weather temperatures change severely, because tire pres-sures change with outdoor tempera- tures. The pressures listed are 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 havingbeen parked for three hours. Cold inflation pres
sure must not go
above the maximum values moldedinto the tire sidewall. After driving several miles, your tire inflation pres- sure may increase 2 to 6 psi (14 to 41kPa) from the cold inflation pressure. Do not let air out of the tires to get back to the specified cold pressure,or your tires will be too low. Check your tires each time you refuel. If one tire looks lower thanthe others, check the pressure for all of them. You should also take the followingsafety precautions:Keep your tires inflated to the rec-ommended pressures. (See the tireand loading information placard attached to the driver’s door sill.)Stay within the recommended load limits.

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.

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
