N00940800201
Your vehicle is equipped with an emission- control system that meets all the requirementsof the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Environment Canada. The emission-con- trol system is made of:  a positive crankcase ventilation system  an evaporative emission-control system  an exhaust emission-control system
The maintenance services listed in the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL” must be performed at the timesor mileages listed to keep the emission-con- trol system working properly. These, and all the other “general” maintenance serviceslisted in this manual, need to be performed to keep your vehicle running properly and reli- ably. You may need more frequent maintenance if you drive your vehicle in harsh conditions such as dusty areas or do a lot of start-and- stop driving. To be sure the emission-control system works properly, have your vehicle inspected and maintained by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice following the schedule in the “WAR- RANTY AND MAINTENANCE MAN- UAL”. You should also have an inspection and ser-vice any time you suspect a malfunction.
N00940900215
Spark plugs must fire properly for goodengine performance and emission-control. Do not reuse them by cleaning or regapping. Change them at the mileage listed in the“WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”.
N00941000037
Check the hose surfaces for any heat and mechanical damage, hard and brittle rubber, cracking, tears, cuts and abrasions. Pay spe- cial attention to the hoses closest to high heatsources such as the exhaust manifold. Check all the hose connections, such as clamps and couplings, to make sure they are secure andthat there are no leaks. If you see any wear or damage, replace the hoses immediately.
N00950100050
Have the valve clearance checked at anauthorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer at the mileage specified in the “WARRANTY ANDMAINTENANCE MANUAL”. If the engine sounds abnormally loud, have adjustments made by an authorizedMitsubishi Motors dealer.
Emission-control system maintenance
NOTE
 To meet government regulations and pro- mote cleaner air, your vehicle is equipped with an onboard diagnostic system (OBD).The engine electronic control module that controls OBD functions stores various data (especially about the exhaust emissions).This data will be erased if the battery cable is disconnected, which could make a rapid diagnosis difficult. Do not disconnect thebattery cable when the engine malfunction indicator (“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” or “Check engine light”) is on.
Spark plugs
NOTE
 Use the spark plugs listed under “Engine specifications” on page 11-5 or plugs that are exactly the same. Other plugs could cause engine damage, performance problems or radio noise.

The next pages list the maintenance servicerecommended by Mitsubishi Motors Corpo- ration. In addition to the general maintenance that needs to be perfor
med at the times listed,
there are other parts which do not usuallyneed regular maintenance. But, if any of these parts stops working prop- erly, your vehicle performance could suffer.Have these items checked if you notice a problem with them. See your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer for assistance, if you have any questions.
N00941600033
Good brakes are essen
tial to safe driving.
Check the brake pads and brake linings for wear and check the rear wheel cylinders forleaks. For good braking performance, replace the brake pads with the
same type pads as the
originals.
N00941700047
Brake hoses and tubing should be checkedfor:  Severe surface cracking, scuffing or worn spots. If the fabric casing of the hose is showing through any cracks or worn spots in the rubber hose cover, the hose shouldbe replaced. The brakes can fail if thehose wears through.  Improper installation may cause twisting, or wheel, tire or chassis interference.

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 loose connections could let dangerous exhaust fumes seep into the luggage compartment andpassenger 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.
N00942500114
The hood lock release mechanism and hoodsafety catch should be checked, cleaned, and oiled when needed for easy movement and to stop rust and wear. Use Multipurpose GreaseNLGI Grade 2 sparingly for all sliding parts of the hood latch and release lever. Work the grease into the hood lock mechanism until allthe movable surfaces are covered.Also, put a light coat of the same grease on the safety catch wherever moving parts touch.
N00942600102
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 getstranded. A small hand-brush for sweeping snow off the vehicle and a plastic scraper for the windshield, side and rear window are alsouseful.
N00942700259
The fusible links will melt
to prevent a fire if
a large current attempts to flow through cer-tain electrical systems. In case of a melted fusible link, see your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or arepair facility of your choice for inspection and replacement. For the fusible links, please refer to “Fuseload capacities” on page 9-26.
Check for any of the following conditions:
Hood lock release mechanism and safety catch For cold and snowy weather Ventilation slots Weatherstripping
Additional equipment (For regions where snow is encoun- tered) Fusible links
WA R N I N G Fusible links must not be replaced by any other device. Failing to fit the correct fus- ible link may result in fire in the vehicle,property destruction and serious or fatal injuries at any time.

3. Clamp it on the fuse you wish to remove, and pull the fuse straight out from the fuse block.
4. Use the fuse location diagrams and the matching tables, to check the fuse that is related to the problem. If the fuse is not blown, something else must be causingthe problem. Contact an authorized Mit- subishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice to have the problemchecked. 5. Insert a new fuse of the same capacity securely into the appropriate slot.
N00942901375
Before replacing a bulb, be sure the light isoff. Do not touch the glass part of the newbulb with your bare fingers; the oil from your skin will stay on the glass and dim or destroy the bulb when it gets hot.
B- Fuse is OKC- Blown fuseCAUTION Never use a fuse with a capacity greater than the one listed or any substitute, such as wire, foil etc. This would cause the circuit wiringto heat up and could cause a fire.
 If the replacement fuse blows again after a short time, have the electrical system checked by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice to find and correct the cause.
Replacement of light bulbs
CAUTION Bulbs are extremely hot immediately after being turned off. When replacing a bulb, wait for it to coolsufficiently before touching it. You could otherwise be burned. Do not install commercially available LED- type bulbs. Commercially available LED-type bulbs could adversely affect the operation of the vehicle, such as by preventing the lamps andother vehicle equipment from operating properly.CAUTION
