General maintenance

Fuel, engine coolant, oil and ex-
haust gas leakage
Look under the body of your vehicle to check
for fuel, engine coolant, oil and exhaust gas
leaks.
WARNING
l If you see a suspicious fuel leak or if you
smell fuel, do not operate the vehicle; call
your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point for assistance.
Exterior and interior lamp op-
eration
Operate the combination lamp switch to
check that all lamps are functioning properly.
If the lamps do not illuminate, the probable
cause is a blown fuse or defective lamp bulb.
Check the fuses first. If there is no blown
fuse, check the lamp bulbs.
For information regarding the inspection and
replacement of the fuses and the lamp bulbs,
refer to "Fuses" on page 10-20 and "Re-
placement of lamp bulbs" on page 10-26.
If the fuses and bulbs are all OK, we recom-
mend you to have your vehicle checked and
E01002700520
repaired.
Meter, gauge and indicator/
warning lamps operation
Start the engine and check the operation of
all instruments, gauges and indication and
warning lamps.
If there is anything wrong, we recommend
you to have your vehicle inspected.
Hinges and latches lubrication
Check all latches and hinges, and, if necessa-
ry, have them lubricated.

For cold and snowy weather

Ventilation slots
The ventilation slots in front of the wind-
screen should be kept clear of leaves or
brushed clear after heavy snowfall, so that
the operation of the heating and ventilation
systems will not be impaired.
Weatherstripping
To prevent freezing of the weatherstripping
on the doors, bonnet, etc., they should be
treated with silicone grease.
Additional equipment
It is a good idea to carry a shovel or a short-
handled spade in the vehicle during the win-
ter so that you can clear away snow if you get
stranded. A small hand-brush for sweeping
snow off the vehicle and a plastic scraper for
the windscreen and rear window are also use-
ful.

Fusible links

The fusible links will melt to prevent a fire if
E01002800361
a large current attempts to flow through cer-
tain electrical systems.
In case of a melted fusible link, we recom-
mend you to have your vehicle inspected.
For the fusible links, please refer to "Fuse
load capacity" on page 10-22.
