It is normal for an engi
ne to use oil. You may
need to add oil betwee
n the recommended oil
change intervals. Before starting the engine,check the engine oil level. Refill if necessary. To check the oil level, remove the dipstick, wipe it off, and gently
reinsert it all the way.
Slowly pull the dipsti
ck straight out and
check the oil level by checking the upper sur- face of the dipstick. Th
e oil level must not go
above the line on the dipstick. If the level does not reach the line which shows the minimum amo
unt of oil required,
remove the oil filler cap on the engine valve cover, and fill to within the “Good” range.
 Make sure the engine hood is firmly closed before driving.If you drive without the engine hood com-pletely closed, it c
ould open up while driv-
ing.NOTE
 If this does not clos
e the engine hood prop-
erly, drop it again from a slightly higher position.  Do not push down strongly on the engine hood. Depending on how strongly or whereyou push down, you could create a dent in the vehicle body.CAUTION

Brake fluid 9-10 Vehicle care and maintenance
9
N00938700274
The fluid level must be between the “MAX” and “MIN” marks on the reservoir. The fluid level falls slightly with wear of the brake pads, but this
does not indicate any
abnormality. The fluid in the master cylinder should be checked when doing other work under the engine hood. The brake
system should also be
checked for leaks at the same time. If the fluid level falls noticeably in a short length of time, it indi
cates leaks from the
brake system.
If this occurs, have
the vehicle checked by an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or arepair facility of your choice. Use the brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4. The reservoir cap must be tightly sealed to keep dirt and water out.
N00939100943
The condition of the batte
ry is very important
for quick starting and to keep the vehicle’selectrical system working properly. Check the battery regularly.
N00901500072
The electrolyte level
must be between the
limits shown on the outside
of the battery. Fill
it with distilled water
as needed. The inside of
the battery is divided into several compart- ments. Take the cap off of each compartmentand fill to the mark. Do not fill above the t
op line because a spill
during driving could cause damage.
Brake fluid To check the fluid level
MAX MIN
Fluid type
CAUTION Do not let any petrol
eum-based fluid touch,
mix with, or get into the brake fluid. This will damage the seals. Be careful when handling brake fluid. It can damage painted surfaces. 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 ta
nk cap closed to keep
the brake fluid from evaporating.
Battery
Checking battery electrolyte level
WA R N I N G If the battery goes flat, be sure to check the battery electrolyte level before con- necting booster cables. After checking the battery electrolyte level, make sure the caps are fittedsecurely.

N00941000040
Check the hose surfaces for any heat and mechanical damage, ha
rd 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. Check all the hose connections, such as clamps andcouplings, to make sure they are secure and that there are no leaks. If you see any wear or damage, replace the hoses immediately.
N00950100050
Have the valve clea
rance checked at an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer at the mileage specified in the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”.If the engine sounds a
bnormally loud, have
adjustments made by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
N00941300173
Check these regularly for damage or leaks in the fuel lines and conne
ctions. Check the fuel
tank filler cap for dama
ge or looseness. Pay
special attention to the fuel lines closest to
high heat sources such
as the exhaust mani-
fold.
N00941400187
If the fuel-vapor vent line is clogged or dam-aged, the fuel-vapor mixture will escape, pol- luting the air. Have the system checked at an authorizedMitsubishi Motors dealer at the mileage spec- ified in the “WARRANTY AND MAINTE- NANCE MANUAL”.

there are other parts which do not usually need regular maintenance.But, if any of these parts stops working prop- erly, your vehicle performance could suffer. Have these items ch
ecked if you notice a
problem with them. If you have any questions, see your autho- rized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer for assistance.
N00941600059
Good brakes are essential for safe driving. Check the brake pads for wear. For goodbraking performance, replace the brake pads with the same type pads as the originals.
N00941700076
Brake hoses and tubing should be checkedfor:  Severe surface cracki
ng, scuffing or worn
spots. If the fabric casing of the hose isshowing through any cracks or worn spots in the rubber hose cover, the hose should be replaced. The brakes can fail if thehose wears through.  Improper installation
may cause twisting,
or wheel, tire or chassis interference.
Fuel hoses Intake valve clearance Fuel system (tank, pipe line and connection, and fuel tank filler cap)
WA R N I N G If you see a fuel leak
or if you smell fuel,
do not run the engine. Any spark (includ- ing from the ignition
), flame or smoking
material could cause an explosion or fire.Call an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair fa

N00946200092
Small cracks and scratches in the paint coat should be touched up as
soon as possible with
touch-up paint to prevent corrosion.Check body areas facing the road or the tires carefully for damage to the paint caused by flying stones, etc. The
paint code number for
your vehicle can be found on the vehicle information code plat
e on the front passenger
door sill.
N00946300194

off using lukewarm water
and a soft cloth or chamois.
N00946400052
To prevent spots and corrosion of chrome parts, wash with water, dry thoroughly, and apply a nonabrasive automotive wax. If the chrome is severely da
maged or pitted, use a
commercially available chrome polish.
N00946500183
1. Remove dirt using a wet sponge.2. Use a mild detergent on any dirt that can- not be removed ea
sily with water.
Rinse off the detergent after washing thewheel. 3. Dry the wheel thoroughly using a chamois leather or a soft cloth.
N00946600054

Damaged paint Cleaning plastic parts
CAUTION Do not use a scrubbing brush or other rough scrubber as these may
damage the plastic
surface. Do not use wax containing compounds (pol- ishing powder) which
may damage the plas-
tic surface.
 Do not let plastic parts get soiled with gaso- line, oil, brake fluids
, engine oils, greases,
paint thinner, and sulfur
ic acid (battery elec-
trolyte), as such substa
nces will cause stains,
cracks, or discoloration. If any of these get on a plastic part, wipethem up with a soft cloth or chamois and a mild solution of soap and water. Then rinse them immediately with water.
Chrome parts Aluminum wheels
(if so equipped)
CAUTION
CAUTION Do not use a brush or
other hard implement
on the wheels. Do not use any cleaner th
at contains an abra-
sive substance or is ac
idic or alkaline. Doing
so could cause the coating on the wheels topeel or become disc
olored or stained.
Do not directly apply
hot water using a steam
cleaner or by any other means. Contact with seawater or road salt used for de-icing can cause corr
osion. Rinse off such
