rear window, do not operate the wipers until
the ice has melted and the blades are freed,
otherwise the wiper motor may be damaged.

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
proper engine performance and emission-
control.
Do not reuse spark plugs by cleaning or
regapping. Spark plugs should be replaced at
the mileage specified in the “WARRANTY
AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”.
CAUTION
If the rear wiper is not stopped within the
mark (A), the wiper arm will contact the roof
spoiler and you will not be able to lift the
wiper arm. If you forcefully try to lift the
wiper arm, the wiper arm and roof spoiler
could be damaged or the painted surfaces
could be scratched.
During cold weather
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.
