Genuine leather*
E00900600804
1. Gently wipe off with gauze or other soft
cloth soaked with a 5 % aqueous solu- tion of neutral detergent.
2. Dip cloth in fresh water and wring it out
well. Using this cloth, wipe off the deter-
gent thoroughly.
3. Apply leather protecting agent to the
genuine leather surface.
NOTEl If genuine leather is wet with water or is
washed in water, wipe off water as quickly
as possible with a dry, soft cloth. If left damp, mildew may grow.
l The genuine leather surface may be dam-
aged if a nylon brush or synthetic fibre is
rubbed hard against it.
l Organic solvents such as benzine, kerosene,
alcohol and petrol, acid or alkaline solvents
may discolour the genuine leather surface. Be sure to use neutral detergents.
l Remove dirty patches or oil substances
quickly as they can stain genuine leather.
l The genuine leather surface may harden and
shrink if it is exposed to direct sun for long
hours. When your vehicle is parked, place it in the shade as much as possible.
l When the temperature of the vehicle interior
rises in summer, vinyl products left on the
genuine leather seat may deteriorate and stick to the seat.Cleaning the exterior of
your vehicle E00900700108
If the following is left on your vehicle, it may cause corrosion, discolouration and stains, wash the vehicle as soon as possible.
l Seawater, road deicing products.
l Soot and dust, iron powder from facto-
ries, chemical substance (acids, alkalis, coal-tar, etc.).
l Droppings from birds, carcasses of in-
sects, tree sap, etc.Washing
E00900903938
Chemicals contained in the dirt and dust picked up from the road surface can damagethe paint coat and body of your vehicle if left
in prolonged contact.
Frequent washing and waxing is the best way to protect your vehicle from this damage.
This will also be effective in protecting it from environmental elements such as rain,snow, salt air, etc.
Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight.
Park the vehicle in the shade and spray it
with water to remove dust. Next, using an ample amount of clean water and a car wash- ing brush or sponge, wash the vehicle from
top to bottom.
Use a mild car washing soap if necessary.
Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a soft
cloth. After washing the vehicle, carefully clean the joints and flanges of the doors, bon-
net and other sections where dirt is likely to remain.CAUTIONl When washing the under side of your vehi-
cle or wheel, be careful not to injure your
hands.
l If your vehicle has rain sensor wipers, place
the wiper switch lever in the “OFF” position to deactivate the rain sensor before washing
the vehicle. Otherwise, the wipers will oper- ate in the presence of water spray on the
windscreen and may get damaged as a result.
l Refrain from excessively using a car wash as
its brushes may scratch the paint surface,
causing it to lose its gloss. Scratches will be
especially visible on darker coloured vehi- cles.
l Never spray or splash water on the electrical
components in the engine compartment. Do- ing so could have an adverse effect on the
engine startability.
Exercise caution also when washing the un-
derbody; be careful not to spray water into the engine compartment.
l Some types of hot water washing equipment
apply high pressure and heat to the vehicle. They may cause heat distortion and damage
to the vehicle resin parts and may result in flooding of the vehicle interior.

CAUTIONTherefore:• Maintain a distance of approx. 70 cm
or
more between the vehicle body and the
washing nozzle.
• When washing around the door glass,
hold the nozzle at a distance of more than
70 cm and at right angles to the glass sur-
face.
l After washing the vehicle, drive the vehicle
slowly while lightly depressing the brake
pedal several times in order to dry out the brakes.
Leaving the brakes wet could result in re- duced braking performance. Also, there is a
possibility that they could freeze up or be- come inoperative due to rust, rendering the
vehicle unable to move.
l When using an automatic car wash, pay at-
tention to the following items, referring to the operation manual or consulting a car
wash operator. If the following procedure is not followed, it could result in damage to your vehicle.
• The outside mirrors are retracted.
• The wiper arms are secured in place with
tape.
• If your vehicle is equipped with a rear
spoiler or roof rails, consult a car wash
operator before using the car wash.
• If your vehicle has rain sensor wipers,
place the wiper switch lever in the “OFF” position to deactivate the rain sensor.During cold weather
Salt and other chemicals spread on the roads
in some areas in winter can have a harmful effect on the vehicle body. You should there-
fore wash the vehicle as often as possible in accordance with our care-instructions. It is
recommended to have a preservative applied
and the underfloor protection checked before and after the cold weather season.
After washing your vehicle, wipe off all wa- terdrops from the rubber parts around the
doors to prevent the doors from freezing.
NOTEl To prevent freezing of the weatherstripping
on the doors, bonnet, etc., they should be treated with silicone spray.Waxing
E00901000863
Waxing the vehicle will help prevent the ad-
herence of dust and road chemicals to the paintwork. Apply a wax solution after wash- ing the vehicle, or at least once every three
months to assist displacing of water.
Do not wax your vehicle in direct sunlight.
You should wax after the surfaces have
cooled.
CAUTIONl Waxes containing high abrasive compounds
should not be used. Such waxes remove rust and stains effectively from the paintwork but
they are harmful to the lustre on the painted
surface and the plated surface.
Further, they are harmful to glossy surfaces such as grille, garnish, mouldings, etc.
l Do not use petrol or paint thinners to remove
road tar or other contamination to the pain-
ted surface.
l Do not apply wax to sections that have a
black mat paint coating, as doing so could cause uneven discolouration, spots or stains.
If wax gets on such areas, wipe it off using
lukewarm water and a soft cloth.Polishing
E00901100066
The vehicle should only be polished if the
paintwork has become stained or lost its lus- tre. Do not polish parts with a mat coating
and the plastic bumpers. Doing so could cause stains or damage the finish.
Damaged paint
E00901200201
Small cracks and scratches in the paint coat
should be touched up as soon as possible
with MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE
touch-up paint to prevent corrosion.

Replacing tyres and wheels
E01007201514
CAUTIONlAvoid using different size tyres from the one
listed and the combined use of different
types of tyres, as this can affect driving safe- ty.
Refer to “Tyres and wheels” on page
11-12.
l Even if a wheel has the same rim size and
offset as the specified type of wheel, its
shape may prevent it from being fitted cor- rectly. We recommend you to consult a spe-
cialist before using wheels that you have.
l As your vehicle is equipped with a tyre pres-
sure monitoring system, only MITSUBISHI
MOTORS genuine wheels should be used.
Use of another type of wheel risks air leaks and sensor damage, as it will not be possible
to install the tyre inflation pressure sensors
properly.
Refer to “Tyre pressure monitoring system
(TPMS)*” on page 6-59.Tyre rotation
E01001901317
Tyre wear varies with vehicle conditions,
road surface conditions and individual driv- er’s driving habits. To equalize the wear andhelp extend tyre life, it is recommended to ro-
tate the tyres immediately after discovery of
abnormal wear, or whenever the wear differ- ence between the front and rear tyres is rec-
ognizable.
When rotating tyres, check for uneven wear
and damage. Abnormal wear is usually caused by incorrect tyre pressure, improper wheel alignment, out of balance wheel, or se-
vere braking. We recommend you to have it checked to determine the cause of irregular
tread wear.
*- If the spare tyre wheel differs from the standard tyre wheel, do not perform tyre rota-
tion using a spare wheel.

CAUTIONlA temporary spare tyre can be fitted tempo-
rarily in place of a tyre that has been re-
moved during the tyre rotation. However, it must not be included in the regular tyre rota-
tion sequence.
l If the tyres have arrows (A) indicating the
correct direction of rotation, swap the front
and rear tyres on the left-hand side of the ve- hicle and the front and rear tyres on the right-hand side of the vehicle separately. Keep each tyre on its original side of the ve-
hicle. When fitting the tyres, make sure the
arrows point in the direction in which the wheels will turn when the vehicle moves forward. Any tyre whose arrow points in the
wrong direction will not perform to its full potential.Front
CAUTIONl Avoid the combined use of different types of
tyres.
Using different types of tyres can affect ve-
hicle performance and safety.Snow tyres
E01002001852
The use of snow tyres is recommended for
driving on snow and ice. To preserve driving stability, mount snow tyres of the same size and tread pattern on all 4 wheels.
A snow tyre that is worn down more than
50% is no longer appropriate to use.
Snow tyres which do not meet specifications must not be used.
CAUTIONl Observe permissible maximum speed for
your snow tyres and the legal speed limit.
l As your vehicle is equipped with a tyre pres-
sure monitoring system, only MITSUBISHI
MOTORS genuine wheels should be used.
Use of another type of wheel risks air leaks and sensor damage, as it will not be possible
to install the tyre inflation pressure sensors
properly.
Refer to “Tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS)*” on page 6-59.NOTEl The laws and regulations concerning snow
tyres (driving speed, required use, type, etc.)
vary. Find out and follow the laws and regu- lations in the area you intend to drive.
l If flange nuts are used on your vehicle,
change to tapered nuts when steel wheels are used.Tyre chains
E01002103235
If tyre chains have to be used, ensure that
they are fitted only on the drive wheels
(front) in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
On 4WD vehicles in which the driving power
is distributed preferentially to the front wheels, ensure that the tyre chains are fitted on the front.
Use only tyre chains which are designed for use with the tyres mounted on the vehicle: use of the incorrect size or type of chain
could result in damage to the vehicle body.
Contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point before putting on tyre chains. The max. chain height is as follows.
