CAUTIONS & WARNINGS
RADIATOR FAN & CAP
DO NOT loosen or remove radiator cap when cooling system is
hot. The system is under high pressure, and hot steam or boiling
liquid could gush out if cap is loosened or removed while system is
hot.
BRAKE FLUID
Be careful when handling brake fluid as it is harmful to eyes
and may damage painted surfaces.
REPLACING BLOWN FUSE
Before replacing a blown fuse, remove ignition key, turn off
all lights and accessories to avoid damaging the electrical system. Be
sure to use fuse with the correct indicated amperage rating. The use
of an incorrect amperage rating fuse may result in a dangerous
electrical system overload.

Mitsubishi Maintenance & Service Intervals
Montero
* PLEASE READ THIS FIRST *
NOTE: All SERVICE SCHEDULES are listed for normal service
vehicles. If vehicle is operated under severe service
conditions, see
SEVERE SERVICE REQUIREMENTS (PERFORM W/SERVICE SCHEDULES)
for items requiring additional maintenance.
NOTE: This article contains scheduled maintenance service
information. Fluid types and capacities listed with each
service in this article are only those necessary to perform
that scheduled service. For specifications pertaining to
fluid capacities for the entire vehicle, fuse and circuit
breaker identification, wheel and tire size, battery type,
warranty information, or model identification refer to the
MAINTENANCE INFORMATION article in this section.
CAUTIONS & WARNINGS
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (AIR BAG)
NOTE: See the AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEM article in the
ACCESSORIES/SAFETY EQUIPMENT Section.
Modifications or improper maintenance, including incorrect
removal and installation of the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS),
can adversely affect system performance. DO NOT cover, obstruct or
change the steering wheel horn pad in any way, as such action could
cause improper function of the system. Use only plain water when
cleaning the horn pad. Solvents or cleaners could adversely affect the
air bag cover and cause improper deployment of the system.
WARNING: To avoid injury from accidental air bag deployment, read and
carefully follow all warnings and service precautions. See
appropriate AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEM article in the
ACCESSORIES/SAFETY EQUIPMENT section.
CAUTION: Disconnect negative battery cable before servicing any air
bag system, steering column or passenger side dash
component. After any repair, turn ignition key to the ON
position from passenger's side of vehicle in case of
accidental air bag inflation
AIR CONDITIONING SERVICING
WARNING: R-134a service equipment or vehicle A/C systems SHOULD NOT
be pressure tested or leak tested with compressed air. Some
mixtures of air/R134a have shown to be combustible at
elevated pressures. These mixtures are dangerous and may
cause fire and/or explosions. See the appropriate
A/C SYSTEM GENERAL SERVICING article in the AIR CONDITIONING
& HEAT section.
