In order to maintain the value of your vehicle, it is necessary to perform regular maintenance using the proper procedures. Always maintain your vehicle in compliance with any environmental pollution control regulations. Carefully select the materials used for washing, etc., to be sure that they do not contain corrosives; if in doubt, contact your authorized MITSUBISHI dealer for assistance in the selection of these materials.

Cleaning products can be dangerous. Some are poisonous. Others can burst into flames if you strike a match or drop them on a hot part of the vehicle.

Never use the following to clean your vehicle:

  • Gasoline
  • Benzine

  • Carbon Tetrachloride
  • Nail Polish Remover
  • Acetone
