storing the spare tire. If the tire hanger is not
secured, it could drop out while driving, causing an
accident.


When hooking or unhooking the tire hanger, be sure
to hold the tire hanger firmly to prevent it from
dropping on your foot.

Towing the vehicle by a tow truck
Towing with rear wheels off the ground (Type B)Set the selector lever to the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
Turn the ignition switch to the “ACC” position and secure the
steering wheel in a straight-ahead position with a rope or tie-
down strap. Never place the ignition switch in the “LOCK”
position when towing.Towing a front-wheel drive vehicle with front wheels off
the ground (Type C)Release the parking brake.
Set the selector lever to the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
CAUTION
!

This vehicle must not be towed by a tow truck using
sling lift type equipment (Type A) as illustrated.
Using a sling lift will damage the bumper and front
end.


Do not tow continuously variable transmission
(CVT) vehicles with the driving wheels on the
ground (Type B) as illustrated. If the vehicle is
towed like this, the continuously variable transmis-
sion (CVT) fluid may not reach all parts of the
transmission, thus damaging it.
If you tow CVT vehicles, use Type C, D or E equip-
ment.


Do not tow all-wheel drive vehicles with the front or
rear wheels on the ground (Type B or Type C) as
illustrated. This could result in the driving system
damage or vehicle may jump at the carriage.
If you tow all-wheel drive vehicles, use only Type D
or E equipment.
All-wheel-drive vehicles cannot be towed with only
the front or rear tires on the ground even if it is in
“2WD” or “TARMAC” drive mode.


[For front-wheel drive vehicle equipped with the
active stability control (ASC)]
If the vehicle is towed with the ignition switch in the
“ON” position and only the front wheels or only the
rear wheels raised off the ground (Type B or Type
C), the ASC may operate, resulting in an accident.
When towing the vehicle with the front wheels
raised, keep the ignition switch in the “LOCK” or
“ACC” position. When towing the vehicle with the
rear wheels raised, keep the ignition switch in the
“ACC” position.CAUTION

Support the engine hood with the hood prop. Insert the hood
prop securely in the opening under the hood marked with an
arrow.
To closeUnlatch the prop from the engine hood and put it back in its
retainer.
Slowly lower the engine hood about 12 inches (30 cm), then let
it drop from its own weight.NOTE

If this does not close the engine hood properly, drop it
again from a slightly higher position.


Do not push down strongly on the engine hood. Depend-
ing on how strongly or where you push down, you could
create a dent in the vehicle body.
CAUTION
!

Always insert the support prop into the hole spe-
cially made for it. Propping the engine hood at any
other place could cause the prop to slip out and lead
to an accident.


The hood prop can fall out if the hood is lifted by a
strong wind.

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. 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
N00939200494
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 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 posts, terminals and related accessories con-
tain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after
handling.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 recommended that tires over 6 years generally
be replaced even if damage is not obvious.

Spark plugs
N00940900143
Spark plugs must fire properly to ensure proper engine perfor-
mance and emission-control.
Do not reuse spark plugs by cleaning or regapping. Spark plugs
should be replaced at the mileage specified in the “WAR-
RANTY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”.
Your vehicle is equipped with iridium tipped spark plugs,
which are identified by marks on the ceramic. They do not
require replacement as frequently as the conventional type
spare plug and will last much longer.NOTE

Use the recommended or equivalent spark plugs listed
under “Engine specifications” on page 9-9. Use of other
plugs could cause engine damage, loss of performance or
radio noise.
Fuel hoses
N00941000040
Check the hose surfaces for any heat and mechanical damage,
hard and brittle rubber, cracking, tears, cuts and abrasions. Pay
special attention to the hoses closest to high heat sources such
as the exhaust manifold. Check all the hose connections, such
as clamps and couplings, to make sure they are secure and that
there are no leaks. If you see any wear or damage, replace the
hoses immediately.Intake valve clearance
N00950100050
Have the valve clearance checked at an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer at the mileage specified in the “WARRANTY
AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”.
If the engine sounds abnormally loud, have adjustments made
by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.

5. Insert a new fuse of the same capacity securely into the
appropriate slot.
Replacement of light bulbs
N00942900310
Before replacing the bulb, be sure the light is off. Do not touch
the glass part of the new bulb with your bare fingers; the oil
from your skin will stay on the glass and dim or destroy the
bulb when it gets hot.NOTE

If you are unsure of how to carry out the work as required,
it is recommended that these procedures be carried out by
an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility
of your choice.


Be careful not to scratch the vehicle body when removing
a light and lens.


When it rains, or when the vehicle has been washed, the
inside of the lens sometimes becomes temporarily foggy.
This is the same phenomenon as when window glass mists
up on a humid day, and does not indicate a functional
problem.
When the light is switched on, the heat will remove the
fog. However, if water gathers inside the light, please
have it checked by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
CAUTION
!

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 wiring to 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.
CAUTION
!

Bulbs are extremely hot immediately after being
turned off.
When replacing the bulb, wait for it to cool suffi-
ciently before touching it. You could otherwise be
burned.
