Used engine oils safety instruc-
tions
EB12A-B
WARNING
(1) Prolonged and repeated con-
tact may cause serious skin dis-
orders, including dermatitis and
cancer.
(2) Avoid contact with the skin as far
as possible and wash thor-
oughly after any contact.
(3) Keep used engine oils out of
reach of children.Protect the environmentIt is illegal to pollute drains, water courses
and soil. Use authorized waste collection
facilities, including civic amenity sites and
garages providing facilities for disposal of
used oil and used oil filters. If in doubt, con-
tact your local authority for advice on dis-
posal.
Driving and alcohol
EB25A-Aa
Driving under the influence of alcohol is one
of the most frequent causes of accidents.
Your driving ability can even be seriously
impaired with blood alcohol levels below
the legal maximum. If you are drinking,
don’t drive. Ride with a designated
non-drinking driver, call a cab, a friend, or
use public transportation.
WARNING
Driving after drinking can lead to an
accident. Your perceptions are less
sharp, your reflexes are slower, and
your judgement is impaired when
you have been drinking.
NEVER DRINK AND THEN DRIVE.
Safe driving techniques
EB26A-I
Driving safety and protection against injury
cannot be fully ensured. However, we rec-
ommend that you pay extra attention to the
following:
(1) Before starting the vehicle, make sure
that you and your passengers have
fastened your seat belts.
(2) Never leave your vehicle unattended
with the key in the ignition and chil-
dren inside the vehicle. Children may
play with the driving controls and this
could lead to an accident.
(3) Make sure that infants and small chil-
dren are properly restrained in accor-
dance with the laws and regulations,
and for maximum protection in case of
an accident.

Type CThe temperature will gradually decrease as
the dial is turned to the right.
Air purifier
EH14K-Jb
Operate the blower, and the air purifier
incorporated in the heater or air condition-
ing will operate to purify air in the passen-
ger compartment.
NOTE
The air purifier contains a filter. The dirt
settles on the filter, decreasing the air puri-
fication efficiency. It is, therefore, recom-
mended that the filter be cleaned every 12
months or every 12, 000 km (7,400 miles).
For the detail, refer to your authorized MIT-
SUBISHI dealer.
Important operation tips for air
conditioning
EH04JALc
(1) Park the vehicle in the shade.
Parking in the hot sun will make the
vehicle interior extremely hot, and it will
require more to cool the interior.
If it is necessary to park in the sun,
open the windows for the first few min-
utes of air conditioning operation to
expel the hot air.
(2) Close the windows when the air con-
ditioning is in use. The entry of out-
side air through open windows will
reduce the cooling efficiency.
(3) Too much cooling is not good for the
health. The inside air temperature
should only be 5 to 6°C below the out-
side air temperature.
(4) When operating the system, make sure
the air intake, which is located in front
of the windscreen, is free of obstruc-
tions such as leaves. Leaves col-
lected in the air-intake plenum may
reduce air flow and plug the plenum
water drains.

3. Tighten the air plug (A) when there are
no more bubbles in the fuel.
