(1) When using the air condition-
ing, the idling speed may slightly
increase as the air condition-
ing compressor is switched
on/off automatically. Especially
for vehicles with an automatic
transmission, while the vehicle
is stationary, fully depress the
brake pedal to prevent the
vehicle from creeping.

detected in the air conditioning
compressor, the air condition-
ing operation indicator lamp
blinks. Stop the vehicle in a safe
place, turn off the engine, then
restart the engine. If the air con-
ditioning operation indicator
lamp does not blink, there is no
problem. If it does blink, have it
checked at an authorized MIT-
SUBISHI dealer.

ignition switch is in either“ON”or“ACC”.
1- Push all the way in.
The lighter will automatically return to its
original position with a“click”when ready.
Pull it out for use.
After use, insert the lighter all the way to its
original position in the socket.
NOTE
Do not leave the cigarette lighter removed
from its socket, because the socket might
become clogged by foreign material and be
short-circuited.
CAUTION
(1) Do not touch heating element or
lighter housing, hold the knob
only as burns may occur.
(2) Do not allow children to oper-
ate or play with the cigarette
lighter as burns may occur.
(3) Something is wrong with the
cigarette lighter if it does not
pop back out within approxi-
mately 30 seconds of being
pushed in.
Leaving the cigarette lighter
pushed in for an extended
period could cause fire. If it does
not pop out by itself, pull it out
and have the problem cor-
rected at an authorized MITSUB-
ISHI dealer.

CAUTION
(5) It is recommended that only the
lighter be inserted in its socket.
Use of“plug-in”type accesso-
ries may damage the socket and
result in poor retention of the
lighter.
(6) When the cigarette lighter socket
is used as a power source for an
electric appliance, be sure that
the electric appliance operates at
12V and has an electric capac-
ity of 120W or less. In addition,
long use of the electric appli-
ance without running the engine
may run down the battery.

Cleaning the outside of your
vehicle
EK28A-Ah
If the following is left on your vehicle, it may
cause corrosion, discolouration and stains,
wash the vehicle as soon as possible.
•Seawater, anti-freeze for road use.
•Soot and dust, iron powder from facto-
ries, chemical substance (acids, alkalis,
coal-tar, etc.).
•Droppings from birds, carcasses of
insects, tree sap, etc.
Washing
EK22ABZa
Chemicals contained in the dirt and dust
picked up from the road surface can dam-
age the paint coat and body of your vehicle
if left in prolonged contact.
Frequent washing and waxing is the best
way to protect your vehicle from this dam-
age. This will also be effective in protect-
ing it from environmental elements such as
rain, snow, salt air, etc.
Do not wash the vehicle in direct sun-
light. Park the vehicle in the shade and
spray it with water to remove dust. Next,
using an ample amount of clean water and
a car washing brush or sponge, wash the
vehicle from top to bottom.
Use a mild car washing soap if neces-
sary. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a
soft cloth. After washing the vehicle, care-
fully clean the joints and flanges of the
doors, bonnet, etc., where dirt is likely to
remain.
CAUTION
(1) When washing the under side of
your vehicle or wheel, wear a
pair of rubber gloves.
CAUTION
(2) Refrain from using a car wash as
its brushes may scratch the
paint surface, causing it to lose
its gloss.
Scratches will be especially vis-
ible on darker coloured vehicles.
(3) Never spray or splash water on
the electrical components in the
engine compartment, as this
may adversely affect engine
starting.
Exercise caution also when
washing the underbody; be care-
ful not to spray water into the
engine compartment.
(4) Some types of hot water wash-
ing equipment apply high pres-
sure and heat to the vehicle.
They may cause heat distor-
tion and damage to the vehicle
resin parts and may result in
flooding of the vehicle interior.
Therefore, observe the following.
•Maintain a good distance of
approx. 40 cm or more between
the vehicle body and the wash-
ing nozzle.
•When washing around the door
glass, hold the nozzle at a dis-
tance of more than 50 cm and at
right angles to the glass surface.

Polishing
EK04A-Ac
The vehicle should only be polished if the
paintwork has become stained or lost its
lustre. Matt-finish parts and plastic bumpers
must not be polished, polishing these parts
will stain them or damage their finish.Damaged paint
EK08A-Ac
Small cracks and scratches in the paint
coat should be touched up as soon as pos-
sible with MITSUBISHI touch-up paint to
prevent corrosion.
Check body areas facing the road or the
tyres carefully for damage to the paint coat
caused by flying stones, etc. The paint
code number for your vehicle can be found
on the vehicle information code plate in the
engine compartment.
Servicing of plastic parts
EK29AOIc
Use a sponge or chamois leather.
If car wax adheres to the grey or black
rough surface, moulding or lamps, the sur-
face becomes white. If this happens, wipe
it off using lukewarm water and soft cloth
or chamois leather.
CAUTION
(1) Do not use a scrubbing brush or
other hard tools as they may
damage the plastic part sur-
face.
(2) Do not use wax containing com-
pound (polishing powder) which
may damage the plastic part sur-
face.
(3) Do not bring the plastic parts
into contact with brake fluids,
engine oils, greases, paint thin-
ners and sulphuric acid (battery
electrolyte) which may stain,
crack or discolour the plastic
parts.
If they touch the plastic part,
wipe them off with soft cloth,
chamois or the like and an aque-
ous solution of neutral deter-
gent, then immediately rinse the
affected parts with water.

Chassis and underbody protection
EK12A-Jc
Your vehicle’s underbody has been treated
at the factory in order to protect it from rust
and corrosion. Some areas have been
injected with anti-corrosion agents and wax.
The effectiveness of these measures, how-
ever, will be reduced by flying stones, road
chemicals, etc., as the vehicle is driven.
You should take your vehicle to your autho-
rized MITSUBISHI dealer every 12 months
to have the body sheet metal inspected for
condition, and it is recommended to have
the underbody checked regularly (autumn
and spring) and have additional protec-
tion treatment carried out as required.
As not all of the commercially available
materials are suitable for use on your
vehicle, it is recommended that you have
this work carried out by an authorized
MITSUBISHI dealer.
When washing the vehicle, especially in
winter, spray the underbody with water to
remove dirt and dust which might contain
salts, road chemicals, etc.
Engine compartment
EK13A-Aa
Clean the engine compartment at the
beginning and end of winter. Pay particu-
lar attention to flanges, crevices and periph-
eral parts where dust containing road
chemicals and other corrosive materials
might collect.
If salt and other chemicals are used on the
roads in your area, clean the engine com-
partment at least once every three months.
