Vehicle care
Polishing
The vehicle should only be polished if the paintwork has
become stained or lost its lustre. Do not polish parts with a mat
coating and the plastic bumpers. Doing so could cause stains or
damage the finish.
Damaged paint
Small cracks and scratches in the paint coat should be touched
up as soon as possible with MITSUBISHI touch-up paint to
prevent corrosion.
Check body areas facing the road or the tyres carefully for
damage to the paint caused by gravels, etc. The paint code
number for your vehicle can be found on the vehicle informa-
tion code plate in the engine compartment.

Use a sponge or chamois leather.
If a car wax adheres on a grey or black rough surface of the
bumper, moulding or lamps, the surface becomes white. In
such a case, wipe it off using lukewarm water and soft cloth or
chamois leather.

● Do not use a scrubbing brush or other hard tools as
they may damage the plastic part surface.
● Do not use wax containing compound (polishing
powder) which may damage the plastic part surface.
● Do not bring the plastic parts into contact with gaso-
line, light oil, brake fluids, engine oils, greases, paint
thinners, and sulphuric acid (battery electrolyte)
which may crack, stain or discolour the plastic

If they touch the plastic parts, wipe them off with
soft cloth, chamois or the like and an aqueous solu-
tion of neutral detergent then immediately rinse the
affected parts with water.

Chrome parts

In order to prevent spots and corrosion of chrome parts, wash
with water, dry thoroughly, and apply a special protective coat-
ing. This should be done more frequently in winter.
