destroy the emission-control effectiveness of the converter. Normally, the catalytic 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 possibility of catalytic con- verter damage:  Use UNLEADED GASOLINE ONLY of the type recommended in “Fuel selection” on page 3-2.
 Do not drive with an extremely low fuel level. Running out of gas could damage the catalytic converter.  Do not try to start the engine by pushing or towing the vehicle. If the battery is weak or run down, use jumper cables to properly start the engine.Refer to “Jump-starting the engine” on page 8-2.  Do not idle the engine with any spark plug wires disconnected or removed, such aswhen performing diagnostic tests.  Do not idle the engine for a long time if it is idling roughly or otherwise obviouslymalfunctioning.  To prevent damage to the catalytic con- verter from unburned gas, do not race theengine when turning off the ignition switch.  Stop driving the vehicle if you think the performance is noticeably low, or the engine 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 MitsubishiMotors dealer or a repair facility of your choice as soon as possible.
 In unusual situations involving major engine problems, a burning odor may indicate severe and abnormal catalytic converter overheating. If this occurs, stopin a safe place, shut the engine off and let the vehicle cool. Once the engine is cool, immediately take your vehicle to anauthorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair 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 catalytic converter can result if your vehicle is not kept in proper operating condition. If the engine malfunctions or mis-fires, or if your vehicle performance suffers, have it serviced promptly. Running your vehicle when it is overheated may result indamage 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 drygrass 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.

The fluid level falls slightly with wear of the brake pads, but this does not indicate anyabnormality. If the fluid level falls markedly in a short length of time, it indicates leaks from thebrake system. If this occurs, have the vehicle checked by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or arepair facility of your choice. Use the recommended brake fluid conform- ing to DOT 3 or DOT 4. The reservoir capmust be tightly sealed to keep dirt and water out.
N00939101979
The condition of the battery is very important for quick starting and to keep the vehicle’selectrical system working properly. Check the battery regularly. If battery performance is suspect, have the battery and charging system tested by an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice. The electrolyte level must be between the limits shown on the outside of the battery. Fill it with distilled water as needed. The inside ofthe battery is divided into several compart- ments. Take the cap off of each compartment and fill to the mark.Do not fill above the top line because a spill during driving could cause damage.
Fluid type
WA R N I N G Take care in handling brake fluid as it is harmful to the eyes, may irritate your skin and will damage painted surfaces. Wipe up spills immediately. If brake fluid gets on your hands or in your eyes, flush imme-diately with clean water. Follow up with a doctor as necessary.CAUTION Do not let any petroleum-based fluid touch, mix with, or get into the brake fluid. This will damage the seals. Use only the listed brake fluid. Different brands of brake fluid have different addi- tives, and these can cause a chemical reac-tion. Do not mix brands of brake fluid. Keep the reservoir tank cap closed to keep the brake fluid from evaporating.
Battery
NOTE
 After replacing the battery, the electronic control system data for the automatic trans- axle, etc., will be erased.As a result, shifting may be rough. Shifting will become smoother after several changes in speed.

It is important to familiarize yourself with the following terms:  Cold tire pressure: • The measured pressure after the vehicle has been parked for at least three hours,or • The measured pressure when the vehicle is driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) afterhaving been parked for three hours.
 Maximum pressure: the maximum per- missible cold tire inflation pressure forthis tire.
 Recommended inflation pressure: the inflation pressure for optimum tire perfor- mance.  Intended outboard sidewall: • The sidewall that contains a whitewall, bears white lettering or bears manufac- turer, brand, and/or model name moldingthat is higher or deeper than the same molding on the other sidewall of the tire, or• The outward facing sidewall of an asym-metrical tire that has a particular side that must always face outward when mounted on a vehicle.
 Passenger car tire: a tire intended for use on passenger cars,
multipurpose passen-
ger vehicles, and trucks that have a grossvehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 10,000 pounds or less.  Light truck (LT) tire: a tire designated by its manufacturer as primarily intended for use on lightweight trucks or multipurpose passenger vehicles. Tread: portion of a tire that comes into contact with the road.  Tread rib: a tread section running circum- ferentially around a tire.  Tread separation: pulling away of the tread from the tire carcass. Carcass: the tire structure, except tread and sidewall rubber which, when inflated, bears the load.
 If you are quick-charging 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 Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facil- ity of your choice. Battery posts, terminals and related acces- sories contain lead and lead compounds.Wash hands after handling.NOTE
 Check each battery terminal for corrosion. You can prevent further corrosion by wash- ing with a solution of baking soda and water.Grease the posts and clamps after cleaning or tightening them.  Ensure the battery is securely installed and cannot be moved. Also check each terminal for tightness.  If you will not be driv
ing your vehicle for a
long period of time, remove the battery and store it in a place where the battery fluid will not freeze. The battery only should be storedwith a full charge.  Before cleaning the battery, tighten all the filler port caps to keep dirt and moisture out.WA R N I N G
Tires
WA R N I N G Driving with tires that are worn, damaged or improperly inflated is dangerous. These tire conditions will adversely affect vehicle performance.These tire conditions can also cause a tread separation or blowout which may result in an accident causing seriousinjury or death. Tires, including the spare tire, degrade over time with age even when they are not being used. It is recommended that tires over 6 yearsold generally be replaced even if damage is not obvious.

 Economy The wrong tire pressure can cause uneven wear patterns in the tire tread. These abnormal wear patterns will reduce thetread life, and the tire will have to be replaced sooner. Too little pressure also makes it harder forthe tire to roll, and this uses up more fuel.  Ride comfort and vehicle stability The superior riding experience built intoyour vehicle partly depends on the correcttire pressure. Too much pressure gives an uncomfortable and jarring ride. Too little pressure feels as if your vehicle is slow torespond. Unequal tire pressures can make steering your vehicle uneven and unpredictable.
The tire pressure for your vehicle under nor- mal driving conditions is listed on the placard attached to the driver’s door sill. (Refer to “Tire and loading information plac-ard” on page 11-3.) The recommended infl
ation pressures under
normal driving conditions should be used forthe tires listed below.
Tire pressures should be checked, and adjusted if necessary, at least once a month. Pressures should be checked more often whenever weather temperatures changeseverely, because tire pressures change with outdoor temperatures. The pressures listed are always “cold inflation pressure”.Cold inflation pressure is measured after the vehicle has been parked for at least three hours or is driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km)after having been parked for three hours.Cold inflation pressure must not go above the maximum 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 be too low. Check your tires each time you refuel. If onetire looks lower than the others, check the pressure 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 the driver’s door sill.) Stay within the recommended load limits.  Make sure that the weight of any load in your 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.

Replacing tires and wheels
CAUTION Avoid using different si
ze tires from the one
listed and the combined use of different types of tires, as this can affect drivingsafety. Refer to “Tires and wheels” on page 11-7. On all-wheel drive vehicles, always use tires of the same size, same type, and same brand, and which have no wear differences. Usingtires that differ in size, type, brand or the degree of wear, will increase the differential oil temperature, resulting in possible damage to the driving system. Further, the drive train will be subjected to excessive loading, possi-bly leading to oil leakage, component sei- zure, or other serious problems.

The following maintenance steps are recom- mended:  Check tire pressures regularly.  Have regular maintenance done on the wheel balance and front and rear suspen-sion alignment.
 Rotate your tires regularly as described in the “Tire rotation” section on page 9-17.
N00939800184
Tread wear indicators are built into the origi- nal equipment tires on your vehicle to help you know when your tires should be replaced.Many states have laws requiring that you replace your tires at this point. These indicators are molded into the bottomof the tread grooves and will appear when the tire tread is worn down to 1/16 inch (1.6 mm).When the bands appear next to one another in two or more places, replace your tires.
N00939901560
To even out the wear on your tires and make them last longer, Mitsubishi Motors Corpora-tion recommends that you rotate your tires at the mileage listed in the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”.However, the timing for tire rotation may vary according to your vehicle condition, road surface conditions, and your own per-sonal driving habits. Any time you notice unusual wear, rotate your tires as soon as pos- sible. When rotating tires, check for uneven wear, damage, and wheel alignment. Abnormal wear is usually caused by a wrong tire pres- sure, wheels that are not aligned properly,wheels that are out-of-balance, or severe braking. Check with an authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer or a repair faci
lity of your choice to
find out the reason for uneven tread wear. The first tire rotation is the most important one. It will allow all your tires to wear evenly.
 Only Mitsubishi Motors Authorized wheels should be used, because your vehicle is equipped with a tire pressure monitoring sys- tem. Use of another type of wheel risks air leaksand sensor damage, as it will not be possible to install the tire pressure sensor properly.NOTE
 On vehicles with Electric parking brake, 16 inch steel wheels cannot be used on yourvehicle because they interfere with brake parts. Additionally, 16 inch aluminum wheels maynot be used on your vehicle depending on the type, even if they are Mitsubishi Motors Genuine wheels.Consult an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer with specific questions on wheels that can be used on your vehicle.

The best way to keep carbon monoxide gas from entering inside your vehicle is to have the engine exhaust system properly serviced. Have a competent mechanic inspect the com-plete exhaust system and nearby body areas for broken, damaged, deteriorated, or mispo- sitioned parts if you notice any of the follow-ing:  A change in the sound of the exhaust sys- tem  The smell of exhaust fumes inside the vehicle
 The underside or rear of the vehicle is damaged
Also check the exhaust system each time the vehicle is raised for lubrication, oil changes, or required service. Any open seams or looseconnections could let dangerous exhaust fumes seep into the luggage and passenger compartments.  Check for holes or exhaust gas leaks caused by corrosion or damage. Check the joints and connections for looseness or exhaust gas leaks.  Check the rubber hangers and brackets for damage.
N00942501124
The hood lock release mechanism and hood safety catch should be checked, cleaned, and oiled when needed for easy movement and toprevent rust and wear. Use Multipurpose Grease NLGI Grade 2 spar
ingly for all sliding
parts of the hood latch and release lever.Work the grease into the hood lock mecha-
nism until all the movable surfaces are cov- ered. Also, put a light coat of the same grease on the safety catch wherever moving parts touch.

The ventilation slots in front of the wind- shield should be brushed clear after a heavy snowfall so that the operation of the heatingand ventilation systems will not be impaired. 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
