Service precautions
E08401700018
Adequate
care of your vehicle at regular intervals
serves to preserve the value and appearance as long
as possible.
Maintenance items as described in this owner’s man-
ual can be performed by the owner.
We recommend you to have the periodic inspection
and maintenance performed by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point or another spe-
cialist.
In the event a malfunction or a problem is discov-
ered, we recommend you to have it checked and re-
paired. Follow the instructions and cautions for
each of the various procedures. WARNING
l Do
not touch any components in the elec-
tric motor unit room other than the re-
serve tank. There are no components re-
quiring inspection other than the reserve
tank. Never remove or disassemble the
component which generates high voltage,
high voltage wire (orange) and its connec-
tor. Doing so could result in serious in-
jury that may risk your life.
These components are affixed with the la-
bel indicating precautions for handling.
Follow the instructions on the label.
: Components which generates high voltage. 1- Service plug
2-

Air conditioner compressor
3- Inverter
4- On board charger/DC-DC converter
5- Electric motor (Electric motor unit)
6- Traction battery
7- Heater WARNING
l Never
touch the service plug (A) under
the front seat. Doing so could result in se-
rious injury that may risk your life, in-
cluding an electric shock. The service
plug (A) is used to shut off high voltage
from the traction battery for repair of the
vehicle at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point or another special-
ist. WARNING
l When
checking or servicing the inside of
the bonnet room and coolant reserve
tank, make sure the electric motor unit is
switched off and has had a chance to cool
down.
l If it is necessary to do work in the bonnet
room with the electric motor running, be
especially careful that your clothing, hair,
etc., does not become caught by the fan,
or other moving parts.
l The fan can turn on automatically even if
the electric motor is not running. Turn
the electric motor switch to the “LOCK”
position to be safe while you work in the
bonnet room.
l Do not smoke, cause sparks or allow open
flames around the auxiliary battery. Vehicle care and Maintenance

NOTE
l Keep
the terminals clean. After the auxiliary
battery is connected, apply terminal protec-
tion grease. To clean the terminals, use luke-
warm water.
l Check to see if the auxiliary battery is secure-
ly installed and cannot be moved during trav-
el. Also check each terminal for tightness.
l When the vehicle is to be left unused for a
long period of time, remove the auxiliary bat-
tery and store it in a place where the battery
fluid will not freeze. The auxiliary battery
should be stored only in a fully charged con-
dition.
l It is necessary to adjust the electronic control-
led unit when the auxiliary battery is re-
moved for a long period of time.
Consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point. Tyres
E08402800016 WARNING
l Driving
with tyres that are worn, dam-
aged or improperly inflated can lead to
loss of control or blowout of the tyres
which can result in a collision with seri-
ous or fatal injury. Vehicle care and Maintenance

CAUTION
l
Observe permissible maximum speed for
your snow tyres and the legal speed limit.
NOTE l 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 E08403400019
If tyre chains have to be used, ensure that they are
fitted

only on the drive wheels (rear) in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Use only tyre chains which are designed for use
with the tyres mounted on the vehicle: use of the in-
correct size or type of chain could result in damage
to the vehicle body.
Contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point before putting on tyre chains. The
max. chain height is as follows. Tyre size Wheel size Max chain
height[mm]
175/55R15 77V 15 x 5 J 14 mm When driving with tyre chains on the tyres, do not
drive

faster than 50 km/h (30 mph). When you
reach roads that are not covered in snow, immedi-
ately remove the tyre chains. CAUTION
l
Practice
fitting the chains before you
need them. Don’t expect help from other
people in the cold.
l Choose a clear straight stretch of road
where you can pull over and still be seen
while you are fitting the chains.
l Do not fit chains before you need them.
This will wear out your tyres and the
road surface.
l After driving around 100-300 metres,
stop and retighten the chains.
l Drive carefully and do not exceed
50 km/h (30 mph). Remember that pre-
venting accidents is not the purpose of
tyre chains.
l An aluminium wheel can be damaged by
a tyre chain while driving. When fitting a
tyre chain on an aluminium wheel, take
care that no part of the chain and fitting
can be brought into contact with the wheel.
l When installing or removing the tyre
chains, take care that hands and other
parts of your body are not injured by the
sharp edges of the vehicle body.
NOTE l The

laws and regulations concerning the use
of tyre chains vary. Always follow local laws
and regulations.
In most countries, it is prohibited by law to
use tyre chains on roads without snow. Wiper blades
E08403500010
If

the blades are frozen to the windscreen or rear
window, do not operate the wipers until the ice has
melted and the blades are freed, otherwise the wip-
er motor may be damaged.
NOTE
l When replacing the front wiper with a wiper
for use in cold regions, it is necessary to ad-
just the washer nozzle spray positions. Al-
ways contact your MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point when replacing the
front wiper with a wiper for use in cold re-
gions.
l When removing snow and frost, be careful
not to damage the washer nozzles (A) attach-
ed to the wiper arm. Wiper blade rubber replacement

For cold and snowy weather
E08403700012
Ventilation slots
The
ventilation slots in front of the windscreen
should be kept clear of leaves or brushed clear after
heavy snowfall, so that the operation of the heating
and ventilation systems will not be impaired.
Weatherstripping
To prevent freezing of the weatherstripping on the
doors, bonnet, etc., they should be treated with sili-
cone grease.
Additional equipment
It is a good idea to carry a shovel or a short-han-
dled spade in the vehicle during the winter so that
you can clear away snow if you get stranded. A
small hand-brush for sweeping snow off the vehi-
cle and a plastic scraper for the windscreen and
rear window are also useful. Fusible links
E08403800013
The
fusible links will melt to prevent a fire if a
large current attempts to flow through certain elec-
trical systems.
In case of a melted fusible link, we recommend
you to have your vehicle inspected.
For the fusible links, please refer to “Passenger com-
partment fuse location table” on page 8-21 and
“Bonnet room fuse location table” on page 8-22. WARNING
l Fusible
links must not be replaced by any
other device. Failing to fit the correct fusi-
ble link may result in fire in the vehicle,
property destruction and serious or fatal
injuries at any time. Fuses
E08403900014
Fuse block location E08404000012
To prevent damage to the electrical system due to
shortcircuiting

or overloading, each individual cir-
cuit is provided with a fuse.
There are fuse blocks in the passenger compart-
ment and in the bonnet room.
NOTE
l Spare fuses are not provided. Please pur-
chase it from a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point or other locations.
Passenger compartment
The fuse block in the passenger compartment is lo-
cated in front of the driver’s seat at the position
shown in the illustration.
Press the tab (A) and remove the fuse cover (B). Vehicle care and Maintenance
