Your vehicle is equipped with an emission-
control system that meets all the requirements
of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
and Environment Canada. The emission-con-
trol system is made of:
 a positive crankcase ventilation system
 an evaporative emission-control system

an exhaust emission-control system
To be sure the emission-control system works
properly, have your vehicle inspected and
maintained by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice. This should be done at the time or
mileage specified in the “WARRANTY AND
MAINTENANCE MANUAL”.
These, and all the other “general” mainte-
nance services listed in this manual, need to
be performed to keep your vehicle running
properly and reliably.
You should also have an inspection and ser-
vice any time you suspect a malfunction.

Spark plugs must fire properly to ensure

the mileage specified in the “WARRANTY
AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”.

Check the hose surfaces for any heat and
mechanical damage, hard and brittle rubber,
cracking, tears, cuts and abrasions. Pay spe-
cial attention to the hoses closest to high heat
sources such as the exhaust manifold. Check
all the hose connections, such as clamps and
couplings, to make sure they are secure and
that there are no leaks. If you see any wear or
damage, replace the hoses immediately.

Emission-control system
maintenance NOTE
 To meet government regulations and pro-
mote cleaner air, your vehicle is equipped
with an onboard diagnostic system (OBD).
The engine electronic control module that
controls OBD functions stores various data
(especially about the exhaust emissions).
This data will be erased if the battery cable is
disconnected, which could make a rapid
diagnosis difficult. Do not disconnect the
battery cable when the engine malfunction
indicator (“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” or
“Check engine light”) is ON.
Spark plugs
NOTE
 Use the recommended or equivalent spark
plugs listed under “Engine specifications” on
page 11-6. Use of other plugs could cause
engine damage, loss of performance or radio
noise.
