PROTECTING THE VEHICLE NWDM
If there is a likelihood of damaging painted or interior parts
during service operations, protect them with suitable covers
(such as seat covers. fender covers, etc.).
REMOVAL AND DISASSEMBLY
When checking a malfunction, find the cause of the problem.
If it is determined that removal and/or disassembly is neces-
sary, perform the work by following the procedures contained _
in this Workshop Manual.
If punch marks or mating marks are made to avoid error in
assembly and facilitate the assembly work, be sure to make
them in locations which wit! have no detrimental effect on -1
performance and/or appearances.
If an area having many parts, similar parts, and/or parts which
are symmetrical right and left is disassembled, be sure to
arrange the parts so that they do not become mixed during the
assembly process.
1. Arrange the parts removed in the proper order.
2. Determine which parts are to be reused and which are to
be replaced.
3. If bolts, nuts;etc., are to be replaced, be sure to use only
the exact sizespecified.
SPECIAL TOOLS
If other tools are substituted for the special tools to do service
or repair work, there is the danger that vehicle parts might be
damaged, or the mechanic might be injured; therefore, be
sure to use the special tool whenever doing any work for
which the use of one is specified.

PARTS
When replacing parts, use MITSUBISHI genuine parts.
VEHICLE WASHING
If high-pressure car-washing equipment or steam car-washing
equipment is used to wash the vehicle, be sure to maintain the
spray nozzle at a distance of at least 300 mm (11.8 in.) from
any plastic parts and all opening parts (doors, luggage
compartment, etc.).
SERVICING ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
1. Note the following before proceeding with work on the
electrical system.
Note that the following must never be done:
Unauthorized modifications of any electrical device or
wiring, because such modifications might lead to a vehicle
malfunction, over-capacity or short-circuit that could result
in a fire in the vehicle.
2. When servicing the electrical system, disconnect the
negative cable terminal from the battery.
Caution
1. Before connecting or disconnecting the negative
cable, be sure to turn off the ignition switch and the
lighting switch.
(If this is not done, there is the possibility of
semiconductor parts being damaged.)
2. After completion of the work steps [when the
battery’s negative (-) terminal is connected], warm
up the engine and allow it to idle for approximately
five minutes under the conditions described below,
in order to stabilize engine control conditions, and
then check to be sure that the idling is satisfactory.
For 3.OL Engine models: If the engine rpm is high,
switch OFF the ignition switch, and then, after
switching it ON again, let the engine idle for 2 or 3
minutes.
This will cause the engine rpm to decrease about
100 rpm, so repeat this procedure until the pre-
scribed idling speed is reached.

WIRING HARNESSES
1. Secure the wiring harnesses by using clamps. However,
for any harness which passes to the engine or other
vibrating parts of the vehicle, allow some slack within a
range that does not allow the engine vibrations to cause
the harness to come into contact with anv of the
surrounding parts.
Then secure the harness by using a clamp.
In addition, if a mounting indication mark (yellow tape) is
on a harness, secure the indication mark in the specified
location.
2. If any section of a wiring harness contacts the edge of a
part, or a corner, wrap the section of the harness with tape
or something similar in order to protect it from damage.
3. When disconnecting a connector, be sure to pull only the
connector, not the harness.
4. Disconnect connectors which have catches by pressing in
the direction indicated by the arrows in the illustration.

INTRODUCTION - Precautions Before Service 11
IOA 15A
5. Connect connectors which have catches by inserting the
connectors until they snap.
ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
1. When installing any of the vehicle parts, be careful not to
pinch or damage any of the wiring harnesses.
2. Sensors, relays, etc., are sensitive to strong impacts.
Handle them with care so that they are not dropped or
mishandled.
3. The electronic parts used for relays, etc., are sensitive to
heat. If any service which causes a temperature of 80°C
(176°F) or more is performed, remove the part or parts in
question before carrying out the service.
FUSES AND FUSIBLE LINKS
1. If a blown-out fuse is to be replaced, be sure to use only a
fuse of the specified capacity. If a fuse of a capacity larger
than that specified is used, parts may be damaged and the
circuit may not be protected adequately.
Caution
1. If a fuse is blown-out, be sure to eliminate the cause
of the problem before installing a new fuse.
2. Check the condition of fuse holders. If rust or dirt is
found, clean metal parts with a fine-grained sandpa-
per until proper metal-to-metal contact is made.
Poor contact of any fuse holder will often lead to
voltage drop or heating in the circuit and could
result in improper circuit operation.

2. If additional optional equipment is to be installed in the
vehicle, follow the procedure listed in the appropriate
instruction manual; however, be sure to pay careful
attention to the following points:
(1) In order to avoid overloading the wiring, take the
electrical current load of the optional equipment into
consideration, and determine the appropriate wire size.
(2) Where possible, route the wiring through the existing
harnesses.
(3) If an ammeter or similar instrument is to be connected
to a live-wire circuit. use tape to protect the wire, use a
clamp to secure the wire, and make sure that there is
no contact with any other parts.
(4) Be sure to provide a fuse for the load circuit of the
optional equipment.
TUBES AND OTHER RUBBER PARTS
Be careful to avoid spilling any gasoline, oil, etc., or rubber
parts. they might be adversely affected.
LUBRICANTS
In accordance with the instructions in this Service Manual,
apply the specified lubricants in the specified locations during
assembly and installation.
BRAKE FLUID
Be careful to avoid spilling any brake fluid on painted
surfaces, because the paint coat might be discoiored or _
damaged.

DOING SERVICE WORK IN GROUPS OF TWO OR
MORE TECHNICIANS
If the service work is to be done by two or more technicians
working together, extra caution must be taken.
NOTE ON INSTALLATION OF RADIO EQUlPMkibJ
The computers of the electronic control system has been
designed so that external radio waves will not interfere with
their operation.
However, if antenna or cable of amateur transceiver etc. is
routed near the computers, it may affect the operation of the
computers, even if the output of the transceiver is no more
than 25W.
To protect each of the computers from interference by
transmitter (hum, transceiver, etc.), the following should be
observed.
1. Install the antenna on the roof or rear bumper.
2. Because radio waves are emitted from the coaxial cable of
the antenna, keep it 200 mm (8 in.) away from the
computers and the wiring harness. If the cable must cross
the wiring harness, route it so that it runs at right angles to
the wiring harness.
3. The antenna and the cable should be well matched, and
the standing-wave ratio* should be kept low.
4. A transmitter having a large output should not be installed
in the vehicle.
5. After installation of transmitter, run the engine at idle. emit
radio waves from the transmitter and make sure that the
engine is not affected.
*STANDING-WAVE RATIO
If an antenna and a cable having different impedances are
connected, the input impedance Zi will vary in accordance
with the length of the cable and the frequency of the
transmitter, and the voltage distribution will also vary in
accordance with the location.
The ratio between this maximum voltage and minimum
voltage is called the standing-wave ratio. It can also be
represented by the ratio between the impedances of the
antenna and the cable.
The amount of radio waves emitted from the cable increases
as the standing-wave ratio increases, and this increases the
possibility of the electronic components being adversely
affected.

INTRODUCTION - Towing and Hoisting
TOWING AND HOISTING --
This vehicle can only be towed from the front with convention-
al sling-type equipment and tow chain with grab hooks.
If a vehicle is towed from the rear, use a tow doily.
A lumber spacer (4” x 4” x 55” wood beam) should be placed
forward of under guard and under towing hook/shipping tie
down hook.
Then, attach J-hook to the lower arm.
A safety chain system must be used. This system must be
completely independent of the primary lifting and towing
attachment. Care must be taken in the installation of safety
chains to insure they do not cause damage to bumper, painted
surfaces or lights.
LIFTING-GROUND CLEARANCE
Towed vehicle should be raised until wheels are a minimum of
10 cm (4 in.) from the ground. Be sure there is adequate
ground clearance at the opposite end of the vehicle, especially
when towing over rough terrain or when crossing sharp rises
such as curbs. If necessary; ground clearance can be in-
creased by removing the wheels from the lifted end of the
disabled vehicle and carrying the lifted end closer to the
ground. A 20 cm (8 in.) ground clearance must be maintained
between brake drums and ground.
FRONT TOWING PICKUP
The vehicle may be towed on its rear wheels for extended
distances, provided the parking brake is released.
Make certain the transmission remains in “NEUTRAL”.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The following precautions should be taken when towing the
vehicle.
1. Remove exhaust tips and any other optional equipment,
that interface with the towing sling. Padding (heavy shop
towel or carpeting) should be placed between the towing
sling cross bar and any painted surfaces, and bumper
surfaces.
2. A safety chain system completely independent of the
primary lifting and towing attachment must be used.
3. Any loose or protruding parts of damaged vehicle such as
hoods, doors, fenders, trim, etc., should be secured prior
to moving the vehicle.
4. Operator should refrain from going under a vehicle unless
the vehicle is adequately supported by safety stands.
5. Never allow passengers to ride in a towed vehicle.
6. State and local rules and regulations must be followed
when towing a vehicle.
