After operating the vehicle in rough road con-
ditions, be sure to perform the following
inspection and maintenance procedures:
Check that the vehicle has not been dam-
aged by rocks, gravel, etc.
Carefully wash the vehicle with water.
Drive the vehicle slowly while lightly
depressing the brake pedal in order to dry
out the brakes. If the brakes still do not
function properly, contact an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facil-
ity of your choice as soon as possible to
have the brakes checked.
Remove the insects, dried grass, etc. clog-
ging the radiator core.
After driving through water, check the
engine, transaxle and differential oil. If
the oil or grease is milky or cloudy
because of water contamination, it must
be replaced with new oil.
Check the inside of the vehicle. If water
entry is found, dry the carpet etc.
Inspect the headlights. If water is in the
headlight housing, have it drained at an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a
repair facility of your choice.
Have an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer replace grease in the wheel bear-
ings.

Since the driving torque can be applied to the
four wheels, the driving performance of the
vehicle when operating in 4-wheel drive is
greatly affected by the condition of the tires.
Pay close attention to the tires.
Install only the specified tires on all
wheels. Refer to “Tires and wheels” on
page 11-5.
Be sure all four tires and wheels are the
same size and type.
When it is necessary to replace any of the
tires or wheels, replace all four.
All tires should be rotated before the wear
difference between the front and rear tires
is recognizable.
Good vehicle performance cannot be
expected if there is a difference in wear
between tires. Refer to “Tire rotation” on
page 9-19.
Check the tire inflation pressure regularly.
After driving through water, apply the brakes
to be sure they are functioning properly. If
the brakes are wet and not functioning prop-
erly, dry them out by driving slowly while
lightly depressing the brake pedal. Inspect
each part of the vehicle carefully.

CAUTION
Always use tires of the same size, type, and
brand that have no wear differences. Using
tires of different size, type, brands or degree
of wear, will increase the differential oil tem-
perature and result in possible damage to the
driving system. Further, the drive train will
be subject to excessive loading, possibly
leading to oil leakage, component seizure, or
other serious failures.
