NOTE

Check each battery terminal for corrosion. You can stop
more corrosion by washing with a solution of baking soda
and water. Grease the posts and clamps after cleaning or
tightening them.


Check to see that the battery is securely installed and can-
not be moved. Also check each terminal for tightness.


If you will not be driving your vehicle for a long period of
time, remove the battery and store it in a place where the
battery fluid will not freeze. Memory data for settings
made by the user may be erased when the battery is
removed. If this happens, reset the settings again using the
relevant procedures. The battery only should be stored
with a full charge.


Before cleaning the battery, tighten all the filler port caps
to keep dirt and moisture out.
Tires

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) after having been parked for three
hours.


Maximum inflation pressure: the maximum permissible
cold tire inflation pressure for this tire.


Recommended inflation pressure: the inflation pressure
for optimum tire performance.


In order to prevent a short circuit, be sure to discon-
nect the negative (-) terminal first, and reconnect it
last.


If the electrolyte level is very low, have the battery
checked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer
or a repair facility of your choice.


Battery terminals and related accessories contain
lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after han-
dling. WA R N I N G

Driving with tires that are worn, damaged or
improperly inflated is dangerous.
These type tire conditions will adversely affect vehi-
cle performance.
These type tire conditions can also cause a tread sep-
aration or blowout which may result in an accident
causing serious injury or death.


Tires, including spare tire, degrade over time with
age even when they are not being used. It is recom-
mended that tires over 6 years generally be replaced
even if damage is not obvious.
