The best way to keep carbon monoxide gas
from entering inside your vehicle is to have
the engine exhaust system properly serviced.
Have a competent mechanic inspect the com-
plete exhaust system and nearby body areas
for broken, damaged, deteriorated, or mispo-
sitioned parts if you notice any of the follow-
ing:
 A change in the sound of the exhaust sys-
tem
 The smell of exhaust fumes inside the
vehicle
 The underside or rear of the vehicle is
damaged
Also check the exhaust system each time the
vehicle is raised for lubrication, oil changes,
or required service. Any open seams or loose
connections could let dangerous exhaust
fumes seep into the luggage compartment and
passenger compartments.
 Check for holes or exhaust gas leaks
caused by corrosion or damage.
 Check the joints and connections for
looseness or exhaust gas leaks.
 Check the rubber hangers and brackets for
damage.

The hood lock release mechanism and hood
safety catch should be checked, cleaned, and
oiled when needed for easy movement and to
stop 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 mechanism until all
the movable surfaces are covered.
Also, put a light coat of the same grease on
the safety catch wherever moving parts touch.

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.
To prevent freezing of the weatherstripping
on the doors, engine hood, etc., they should
be treated with silicone grease.
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.

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 9-26.
Check for any of the following
conditions:
Hood lock release mechanism
and safety catch
For cold and snowy weather
Ventilation slots
Weatherstripping
Additional equipment (For
regions where snow is encoun-
tered)
Fusible links
WARNING
 Fusible links must not be replaced by any
other device. Failing to fit the correct fus-
ible link may result in fire in the vehicle,
property destruction and serious or fatal
injuries at any time.
