Service precautions

Adequate care of your vehicle at regular intervals serves to pre-
serve the value and appearance as long as possible.
Maintenance items as described in this owner's manual can be
performed by the owner.
We recommend you to have the periodic inspection and main-
tenance performed by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point or another specialist. In the event a malfunction
or other problem is discovered, we recommend you to have it
checked and repaired. This section contains information on
inspection maintenance procedures that you can do yourself.
Follow the instructions and cautions for each of the various
procedures.

● When checking or servicing the inside of the engine
compartment, make sure the engine is switched off

ment 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.
● The fan may turn on automatically even if the
engine is not running; turn the ignition key to
"LOCK" position and remove the key to ensure
safety while you work in the engine compartment.
