Adequate care of your vehicle at regular in- tervals serves to preserve the value and ap-
pearance as long as possible.
Maintenance items as described in this own- er’s manual can be performed by the owner.We recommend you to have the periodic in-
spection and maintenance performed by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point or another specialist.
In the event a malfunction or other problem is discovered, we recommend you to have it
checked and repaired. This section contains information on inspection maintenance pro- cedures that you can do yourself. Follow the
instructions and cautions for each of the vari- ous procedures.WARNINGl When checking or servicing the inside of
the engine compartment, make sure the
engine is switched off and has had a chance to cool down.
l If it is necessary to do work in the engine
compartment with the engine running, be
especially careful that your clothing, hair, etc., does not become caught by the fans,
drive belts, or other moving parts.WARNINGl For vehicle with air conditioning, the fan
may turn on automatically even if the en-
gine is not running; turn the ignition key
to “LOCK” position and remove the key to ensure safety while you work in the en-
gine compartment.
l Do not smoke, cause sparks or allow open
flames around fuel or battery. The fumesare flammable.
l Be extremely cautious when working
around the battery. It contains poisonous
and corrosive sulphuric acid.
l Do not get under your vehicle with just
the body jack supporting it. Always use
automotive jack stands.
l Improper handling of components and
materials used in the vehicle can endanger
your personal safety. We recommend you to consult a specialist for necessary infor-
mation.Catalytic converter
E01000200925
For ordinary use, there are no particular pre-cautions.
The exhaust gas scavenging devices used
with the catalytic converter are extremely ef- ficient for the reduction of noxious gases.
The catalytic converter is installed in the ex- haust system.
It is important to keep the engine properly
tuned to ensure proper catalyst operation andprevent possible catalyst damage.CAUTIONl Damage to the catalytic converter can result
if your vehicle is not kept in proper operat-ing condition. In the event of an engine mal-
function particularly involving engine mis-
fire or other apparent loss of performance, have your vehicle serviced promptly.
Continued operation of your vehicle with a
severe overheated condition may result in possible damage to the converter and vehi-cle.WARNINGl As with any vehicle, do not park or oper-
ate this vehicle in areas where combusti-
ble materials such as dry grass or leaves
can come in contact with a hot exhaust since a fire could occur.
l Paint should not be applied to the catalyt-
ic converter.
The catalytic converter itself gets hot quickly,
and may be damaged if overheated. The fol- lowing points should be noted in order to pre-vent the ignition of unburned fuel within the
catalytic converter.

lDo not drive with an extremely low fuel
level; running out of fuel could cause
damage to the catalytic converter.
l Do not switch OFF the ignition switch
while driving.
l Do not attempt to start the engine by
pushing the vehicle. If the battery isweak or discharged, use another battery
to start the engine.
l Do not idle the engine for prolonged pe-
riods during very rough idle or malfunc-
tioning operating conditions.
l Do not race the engine when turning off
the ignition switch. This will cause the catalytic converter to be damaged due tocontact with unburnt fuel.
l Stop driving the vehicle if you think the
performance is noticeably low, or if theengine has a malfunction such as with
the ignition, etc.
If it is impractical to stop driving imme- diately, reduce the speed and drive for
only a short time. We recommend you to have your vehicle inspected as soon as possible.l In unusual situations involving major en-
gine problems, a burnt smell may indi- cate severe and abnormal catalyst over-
heating.
If this occurs, the vehicle should be stop- ped in a safe place, the engine switchedoff and the vehicle allowed to cool.
Once the engine is cool, a service, in-
cluding a tune-up to manufacturer’s specifications, should be obtained imme-
diately.Bonnet
