destroy the emission-c
ontrol effectiveness of
the converter. Normally, the catalyti
c converter does not
require maintenance. However, 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 “Fuelselection”.
Do not drive with an extremely low fuel level. Running out of gas could damagethe catalytic converter. Do not try to start the engine by pushing or towing the vehicle. If the battery isweak 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
diagnosti
c 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 turning off the igni-tion switch. Stop driving the vehicle if you think the performance is noticeably low, or theengine has a malfunction such as with the ignition, etc. If you are not able to stop driving immediately,
slow down and drive
for only a short time. Have your vehicle checked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of yourchoice as soon
as possible.
In unusual situations involving major engine problems, a burning odor mayindicate severe a
nd abnormal catalytic
converter overheating. If this occurs, stop in a safe place, shut
the engine off and let
the vehicle cool. Once the engine is cool, immediately take your vehicle to an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or arepair facility of your
choice for service.

Use the engine hood release lever (located under the instrument panel near the driver’s door) to unlock the engine hood. Pull the lever toward you to release the engine hood latch.
CAUTION Damage to the catalyti
c 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
overheated may result in
damage to the converter and vehicle.WA R N I N G Do not park or run your vehicle in areas where combustible materials such as dry grass 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.

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.

To prevent damage to the electrical systemfrom short-circuiting or
overloading, each
individual circuit

fuse blocks are located 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.
