Do not fill above the t
op line because a spill
during driving could cause damage.The battery is weaker in cold temperatures.This has to do with its chemical and physicalproperties and is why a very cold battery,especially one with a low charge, will have ahard time starting your vehicle.It is recommended that you have your batteryand charging system checked by an autho-rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repairfacility of your choice before the start of coldweather. If necessary, have it charged. Thiswill provide more relia
ble starting, and longer
battery life.To disconnect the battery cable, stop theengine. Disconnect the
negative (-) terminal
first, then the positive (+) terminal. To recon-nect the battery, first
connect the positive (+)
terminal and then the negative (-) terminal,before starting the vehicle.During cold weather Disconnection and connection
NOTE
Open the terminal cover (A) before discon-necting or connecting
the positive (+) termi-
nal of the battery.
Loosen the nut (B) and then disconnect thebattery cable from the positive (+) terminal.WA R N I N GNever disconnect the battery while theengine is running, or you could damagethe vehicle’s electrical parts.Never short-circuit the battery. This couldcause it to overheat and be damaged.Keep sparks, cigarettes, and flames awayfrom the battery because the battery couldexplode.Electrolyte (battery acid) is made of corro-sive diluted sulfuric acid. If it spills onnearby parts, it can crack, stain, or dis-color them. And if it gets on your skin orin your eyes, it can cause burns or blind-ness. Please observe the following han-dling instructions:NOTE
• If electrolyte gets on plastic parts orother nearby parts, wipe it off with a softcloth or chamois soak
ed in a solution of
water and neutral detergent then imme-diately rinse the affected parts withplenty of water.• If electrolyte gets on your hands orclothes, rinse thoroughly with water. Ifelectrolyte gets in
your eyes, flush them
with water immediately and get immedi-ate medical attention.
Open doors and wind
ows in any closed
space where you may be charging orworking with the battery.Always wear protective clothing and gog-gles when working with the battery, orhave a skilled automobile technician do it.If you are quick-ch
arging your battery,
first disconnect the battery cables.In order to prevent a
short-circuit, be sure
to disconnect the negative (-) terminalfirst, and reconnect it last.If the electrolyte level
is very low, have the
battery checked at an
authorized Mitsubi-
shi Motors dealer or
a repair facility of
your choice.Battery posts, terminals and related acces-sories contain lead
and lead compounds.

EXAMPLE: DOT MA L9 ABCD 1504
The treadwear grade is a comparativerating based on the wear rate of thetire when tested under controlledconditions on a specified governmenttest course. For example, a tiregraded 150 would wear one and one-half (1
1/2) times as well on the gov-
ernment course as a tire graded 100.The relative performance of tiresdepends upon the
actual conditions
of their use, however, and may departsignificantly from the norm due tovariations in driv
ing habits, service
practices and differences in roadcharacteristics and climate.The traction grades, from highest tolowest, are AA, A, B and C. Thosegrades represent the tire’s ability tostop on wet pavement as measured
under controlled co
nditions on speci-
fied government test surfaces ofasphalt and concrete. A tire markedC may have poor traction perfor-mance.The temperature grades are A (thehighest), B and C, representing thetire’s resistance to the generation ofheat and its ability to dissipate heatwhen tested under controlled condi-tions on a specified indoor laboratorytest wheel. Sustained high tempera-ture can cause the material of the tireto degenerate and reduce tire life, andexcessive temperature can lead tosudden tire failure. The grade C cor-responds to a level of performancewhich all passenger car tires mustmeet under the Federal Motor Vehi-cle Safety Standard No. 109. GradesB and A represent higher levels ofperformance on the laboratory testwheel than the minimum required bylaw.

Proper tire inflation pre
ssure is essential for
the safe and satisfac
tory operation of your
vehicle. The wrong tire pressure will causeproblems in three major areas:SafetyToo little pressure increases flexing in thetire and can cause tire failure. Too muchpressure can cause a tire to lose its abilityto cushion shock. Objects on the road andpotholes could then ca
use tire damage that
may result in tire failure.EconomyThe wrong tire pressu
re can cause uneven
wear patterns in the tire tread. Theseabnormal wear patter
ns will reduce the
tread life, and the tire will have to bereplaced sooner.Too little pressure also makes it harder forthe tire to roll, and this uses up more fuel.Ride comfort and vehicle stabilityThe superior riding e
xperience built into
your vehicle partly de
pends on the correct
tire pressure. Too much pressure gives anuncomfortable and jarring ride. Too littlepressure feels as if
your vehicle is slow to
respond.Unequal tire pressure
s can make steering
your vehicle uneven
and unpredictable.
The tire pressure for your vehicle under nor-mal driving conditions is listed on the placardattached to the driver’s door sill.(Refer to “Tire and loading information plac-ard” on page 11-3.)The recommended inflation pressures undernormal driving conditions should be used forthe tires listed below.Tire pressures should be checked, andadjusted if necessary, at least once a month.Pressures should be checked more oftenwhenever weather temperatures changeseverely, becaus
e tire pressures change with
outdoor temperatures. The pressures listedare always “cold in
flation pressure”.
Cold inflation pressure is measured after thevehicle has been parked for at least threehours or is driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km)after having been parked for three hours.Cold inflation pressure must not go above themaximum values molded into the tire side-wall. After driving several miles, your tireinflation pressure may increase 2 to 6 psi (14
to 41 kPa) from the cold inflation pressure.Do not let air out of the tires to get back to thespecified cold pressure, or your tires will betoo low.Check your tires each t
ime you refuel. If one
tire looks lower than the others, check thepressure for all of them.You should also take the following safety pre-cautions:Keep your tires inflated to the recom-mended pressures. (See the tire and load-ing information placard attached to thedriver’s door sill.)Stay within the recommended load limits.Make sure that the weight of any load inyour vehicle is evenly distributed.Drive at safe speeds.After filling your tires to the correct pres-sure, check them for damage and airleaks. Be sure to reinstall the caps on thevalve stems.

N00940800328
Your vehicle is equi
pped with an emission-
control system that meets all the requirementsof the U.S. Environm
ental Protection Agency
and Environment Cana
da. The emission-con-
trol system is made of:a positive crankcase
ventilation system
an evaporative emis
sion-control system
an exhaust emission-control system
To be sure the emissi
on-control system works
properly, have your vehicle inspected andmaintained by an authorized MitsubishiMotors dealer or a repair facility of yourchoice. This should be done at the time ormileage specified in the “WARRANTY ANDMAINTENANCE MANUAL”.These, and all the other “general” mainte-nance services listed in this manual, need tobe performed to keep
your vehicle running
properly and reliably.You should also have an inspection and ser-vice any time you suspect a malfunction.
N00940900231
Spark plugs must fire properly to ensureproper engine perfo
rmance and emission-
control.Do not reuse spark plugs by cleaning orregapping. Spark plugs should be replaced atthe mileage specified in the “WARRANTYAND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”.
Check the hose surfaces for any heat andmechanical damage, hard and brittle rubber,cracking, tears, cuts and abrasions. Pay spe-cial attention to the hos
es closest to high heat
sources such as the exhaust manifold. Checkall 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 ordamage, replace the
hoses immediately.
N00950100050
Have the valve clea
rance checked at an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer at themileage specified in the “WARRANTY ANDMAINTENANCE MANUAL”.If the engine sounds abnormally loud, haveadjustments made by an authorizedMitsubishi Motors dealer.
N00941300173
Check these regularly for damage or leaks inthe fuel lines and connections. Check the fueltank filler cap for dama
ge or looseness. Pay
special attention to the fuel lines closest to
Emission-control system maintenance
NOTE
To meet government regulations and pro-mote cleaner air, your
vehicle is equipped
with an onboard dia
gnostic system (OBD).
The engine electronic control module thatcontrols OBD functions stores various data(especially a
bout the exhaust emissions).
This data will be erased if the battery cable isdisconnected, which c
ould make a rapid
diagnosis difficult.
Do not disconnect the
battery cable when the engine malfunctionindicator (“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” or“Check engine
light”) is ON.
Spark plugs
NOTE
Use the recommended or equivalent sparkplugs listed under “Engin
e specifications” on
page 11-6. Use of other plugs could causeengine damage, loss of performance or radionoise.

This information is provided in compliancewith the requirements of the National High-way Traffic Safety Ad
ministration, Depart-
ment of Transportation. It provides thepurchasers and/or prospective purchaserswith information on repor
ting safety defects.
DOT quality grades - Al
l passenger vehicle
tires must conform to
Federal Safety Require-
ments in addition to these grades. The spe-cific grade rating in each grade category isshown on the side wall of the tires on yourvehicle. The treadwear grade is a comparative ratingbased on the wear rate of
the tire when tested
under controlled conditions on a specifiedgovernment test course
. For example, a tire
graded 150 would wear one and one-half(11/2) times as well on the government course
as a tire graded 100.
The relative performance
of tires depends upon the actual conditions of
their use, however, and may depart signifi-cantly from the norm due to variations indriving habits, service practices and differ-ences in road characteristics and climate. The traction grades, from highest to lowest,are AA, A, B and C. Those grades representthe tire’s ability to
stop on wet pavement as
measured under controlled conditions onspecified government te
st surfaces of asphalt
and concrete. A tire marked C may have poortraction performance. The temperature grades are A (the highest), Band C, representing the ti
re’s resistance to the
generation of heat and it
s ability to dissipate
heat when tested un
der controlled conditions
on a specified indoor
laboratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause the
material of the tire to
degenerate and reduce
tire life, and excessive temperature can leadto sudden tire failure. The grade C corre-sponds to a level of performance which allpassenger car tires must meet under the Fed-eral Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109.Grades B and A represent higher levels ofperformance on the labora
tory test wheel than
the minimum required by law.
