Maintenance
Adequate care of your vehicle at regular intervals serves to preserve the value and appearance as long as possible.
Some maintenance items can be carried out by the owner (do it yourself), while others should be carried out by an authorized MITSUBISHI dealer (periodic inspection and maintenance). This section describes only those items which can be carried out by the owner. In the event a malfunction or other problem is discovered, have it corrected by an authorized MITSUBISHI dealer. This section contains information on inspection maintenance procedures that you can do yourself, if you wish to do so. Follow the instructions and cautions for each of the various procedures.
WARNING

to do work in the engine compartment with the engine running, be especially careful
that your clothing, hair, etc., does not become caught by the fan, drive belts or
other moving parts.

not running; turn the ignition key tothe “LOCK” position and remove the key to ensure
safety while you work in the engine compartment.
