External Inspection
A fire can be caused by combustible materials placed near hot engine parts (exhaust manifolds and other
exhaust gas passages) or battery, fuel leaks, and oil leaks. Check the engine exterior carefully. If an abnor-
mality is found, be sure to repair or contact a Mitsubishi dealer.
Before starting the engine, clean the top surface of the battery with wet cloth.
Inspect the engine exterior as described below.
1 Make sure there is no combustible material near the engine or battery. Also, check to make sure the
engine and battery are clean.
If combustible materials or waste are found near the engine or battery, remove them.
2 Check the entire engine for leakage of fuel, engine oil or coolant. If leaks are found, repair leakage or con-
tact a Mitsubishi dealer.
3 Check the electrical wiring including the starters.
