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.

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, deteriorated, or mispo- sitioned parts if you no
tice any of the follow-
ing: A change in the sound of the exhaust sys- tem The smell of exhaust fumes inside the vehicle
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.
Any 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, andoiled when needed for easy movement and to prevent rust and wear. Use Multipurpose Grease NLGI Grade 2 sparingly for all slidingparts of the hood latch and release lever. Work the grease into the hood lock mecha- nism until all the movable surfaces are cov- ered. Also, put a light coat
of the same grease on
the safety catch wherever moving parts touch.

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 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 9-29.
