Service precautions
Taking regular care of your vehicle will preserve its value and appearance as long as possible. You can do some of the maintenance work yourself, and the rest should only be performed by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice. If you discover a malfunction or other problem, have it cor- rected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice. This section describes the maintenance inspections that you can do yourself, if you so desire. Follow the instructions and precautions for each procedure.
Have you purchased the Mitsubishi Motors Diamond Care Pro- tection Plan? The Plan supplements your new vehicle warran- ties. See your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer for details.
WARNING! ● When checking or servicing the inside of the engine
compartment, be sure the engine is stopped and has had a chance to cool down.
● If you need to work in the engine compartment with the engine running, be especially careful that your clothing, hair, etc. does not get caught in the fan, drive belts, or other moving parts.
● The fan can turn on automatically even if the engine is not running. Turn the ignition key to the “LOCK” position and remove the key to be safe while you work in the engine compartment.
● Do not smoke or allow open flames around fuel or the battery. The fumes are flammable.
● Be extremely careful when working around the bat- tery. It contains poisonous and corrosive sulfuric acid.
● Do not get under your vehicle while it is on a jack. Always use properly rated automotive jack stands.
● Handling your vehicle’s parts and materials in the wrong way can injure you. Ask an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice if you have questions.
