THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOUR MITSUBISHI ANTI-CORROSION PERFORATION LIMITED WARRANTY:

REPAIRING YOUR MITSUBISHI VEHICLEIf your Vehicle is damaged and requires sheet metal repair or replacement, be sureanti-corrosion materials are applied to the parts repaired or replaced.

MAINTAINING YOUR MITSUBISHI VEHICLEWashing:The best way to preserve your Vehicle’s finish and aid in avoiding rust is to keep theVehicle clean by washing it frequently. Wash the Vehicle only with lukewarm or coldwater. Do not wash the Vehicle in the direct rays of the sun, or use strong soap orchemical detergents. Any cleaning agents used should be washed off promptly andnot allowed to dry on the finish.

Foreign Material Deposits:Calcium chloride and other salts, ice melting agents, road oil and tar, tree sap, birddroppings, chemicals from industrial chimneys, acid rain, and other foreign mattermay damage the Vehicle finish if left on the painted surfaces. Prompt washing maynot completely remove all these deposits. Additional cleaners may be needed. Whenusing chemical cleaners developed for this purpose, be sure they are safe for use onpainted surfaces.

Underbody Maintenance:Corrosive materials used for ice removal and dust control can collect on underbodysurfaces. If these materials are not removed, accelerated corrosion can occur on theunderbody parts, such as fuel lines, frame, floor pan and exhaust system.At least twice a year, thoroughly flush these materials from the underbody with plainwater. Take care to clean any areas where mud and other debris can collect.

Finish Damage:Any stone chips, fractures or deep scratches in the finish should be repairedpromptly.Bare metal will corrode quickly and can develop into a major repair expense. Minorchips and scratches can be repaired with touch-up materials available from yourAuthorized Mitsubishi Motors Dealer or Authorized Service Center.
