9-26 Vehicle care and maintenance
Hood lock release mechanism
and safety catch
The hood lock release mechanism and hood
safety catch should be checked, cleaned, and
oiled when needed for easy movement and to
prevent rust and wear. Use Multipurpose
Grease NLGI Grade 2 sparingly for all sliding
parts of the hood latch and release lever.
Work the grease into the hood lock mecha-
nism until all the movable surfaces are cov-
ered.
Also, put a light coat of the same grease on
the safety catch wherever moving parts touch.
For cold and snowy weather
Ventilation slots
N00942300079
The ventilation slots in front of the wind-
shield should be brushed clear after a 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, engine hood, etc., they should
be treated with silicone grease.
Additional equipment (For
regions where snow is encoun-
tered)
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 windshield, side and rear window are also

useful.

Fusible links

The fusible links will melt to prevent a fire if
a large current attempts to flow through cer-
tain electrical systems.
In case of a melted fusible link, see your
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a
repair facility of your choice for inspection
and replacement.
For the fusible links, please refer to "Fuse
load capacities" on page 9-28.
