Engine Hood - Mitsubishi MOTORS LANCER EVOLUTION 2014 Manual

CAUTION
 Damage to the catalytic converter can result
if your vehicle is not kept in proper operating
condition. If the engine malfunctions or mis-
fires, or if your vehicle performance suffers,
have it serviced promptly. Running your
vehicle when it is overheated may result in
damage to the converter and vehicle.
WARNING
 Do not park or run your vehicle in areas
where combustible materials such as dry
grass or leaves can come in contact with a
hot exhaust, since a fire could occur.
 Do not put undercoat paint on the cata-
lytic converter.
To reduce the possibility of catalytic con-
verter damage:
 Use UNLEADED GASOLINE ONLY of
the type of recommended in "Fuel selec-
tion".
 Do not drive with an extremely low fuel
level. Running out of gas could damage
the catalytic converter.
 Do not try to start the engine by pushing
or towing the vehicle. If the battery is
weak or run down, use jumper cables to
properly start the engine.
 Do not idle the engine with any spark plug
wires disconnected or removed, such as
when performing diagnostic tests.
 Do not idle the engine for a long time if it
is idling roughly or otherwise obviously
malfunctioning.
 To prevent the catalytic converter from
being damaged from unburned gas, do not
race the engine when turning off the igni-
tion switch.
 Stop driving the vehicle if you think the
performance is noticeably low, or the
engine has a malfunction. If you are not
able to stop driving immediately, slow
down and drive for only a short time.
Have an inspection made by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facil-
ity of your choice as soon as possible.
 In unusual situations involving major
engine problems, a burning odor may
indicate severe and abnormal catalytic
converter overheating. If this occurs, stop
in a safe place, shut the engine off and let
the vehicle cool. Once the engine is cool,
immediately take your vehicle to an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a
repair facility of your choice for service.
