11 NEW VEHICLE LIMITED WARRANTY DAMAGE CAUSED BY IMPROPER MAINTENANCE OR FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE The repair of damages, which are caused because parts or services used were not those prescribed in this booklet s recommended maintenance schedule, are not covered under warranty. It is the owner s responsibility to maintain the Vehicle as more fully set forth in, and in accordance with, the maintenance schedules outlined in this booklet. Be advised that Warranty coverage may be denied if proper maintenance is not followed. IMPORTANT- For Lancer Evolution Owners only : THE USE OF FULLY SYNTHETIC 10W-30 MOTOR OIL WITH THE ILSAC CERTIFI- CATION SYMBOL IS REQUIRED. The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution requires the use of fully synthetic 10W-30 motor oil with the ILSAC certification symbol. Fully synthetic 10W-30 motor oil with the ILSAC certification symbol is required for all oil changes and for any oil added between oil changes. It is important that you: DO NOT USE CONVENTIONAL PETROLEUM BASED MOTOR OIL. DO NOT USE BLENDS OF CONVENTIONAL OIL AND SYNTHETIC OIL. USE ONLY FULLY SYNTHETIC 10W-30 MOTOR OIL WITH THE ILSAC CERTIFICATION SYMBOL. NOTICE: If you cannot find oils with the ILSAC certification symbol, use fully synthetic oil with an API classification SL, SL/CF or higher. SAE 5W 30 fully synthetic engine oil can be used to improve engine startability in very cold weather areas where the lowest atmospheric temperature is below 10 F ( 23 C). The use of conventional motor oils may cause engine or turbocharger damage that is not covered by your warranty. If the approved SAE 10W 30 (or SAE 5W 30) fully synthetic motor oil is not used, any oil related engine or turbocharger failure, along with any peripheral engine or powertrain damage, will not be considered a warrantable condition. 8

12 NEW VEHICLE LIMITED WARRANTY MAINTENANCE / WEAR Parts and labor needed to maintain the vehicle and the replacement of parts due to normal wear and tear are not covered by warranty and are the owner s responsibility (unless those costs result from a warranty covered repair). Examples are: Brake pads/shoes Clutch disc facings Wiper blades Lubrication Engine tune-ups Replacing filters, coolant or fuses Replacing spark plugs Cleaning and polishing PAINT AND OTHER APPEARANCE ITEMS Defects in paint, trim or other appearance items are normally noted and corrected during the new vehicle inspection. For your protection, should you find any paint or appearance item which you suspect is defective, advise your Authorized Mitsubishi Motors Dealer without delay, as normal deterioration due to use and exposure is not covered by this warranty. OTHER Incidental or consequential damages such as loss of use of Vehicle, loss of time, inconvenience, expense for gasoline, telephone, travel or lodging, loss or damage to personal property, commercial loss of revenue or other matters not specifically included are not covered. WARRANTY ORDER If you should have warranty service performed on this Vehicle, you are entitled to receive a copy of the repair order listing the warranty service performed. RETAIN THESE COPIES FOR YOUR RECORDS. Receipts covering the performance of maintenance services should be retained in the event questions arise concerning maintenance. These receipts should be transferred to each subsequent owner of this vehicle. MMNA reserves the right to deny warranty coverage if the vehicle has not been properly maintained. However, denial will not be based solely on the absence of maintenance records. PRODUCTION CHANGES MMNA and its Authorized Mitsubishi Motors Dealers reserve the right to make changes in Vehicles sold by them at any time without incurring any obligation to make the same or similar changes on Vehicles previously sold by them. 10-YEAR / 100,000 MILE POWERTRAIN LIM- ITED WARRANTY COVERAGE & TERM NOTE Applies only to the original owner of all new, retailed vehicles.

This Limited Warranty applies only to Mitsubishi passenger cars and sport utility vehicles that are registered in the United States and normally operated in the United States or temporarily traveling in Canada or Puerto Rico. THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER: Corrosion due to accident, damage, abuse, abnormal use, Vehicle alteration or failure to properly maintain this Vehicle Payments for loss of use of the Vehicle during warranty repairs Surface corrosion, such as that caused by industrial fallout, sand, salt, hail and stones Corrosion due to extensive and/or abnormal transportation of corrosive material such as, but not limited to, chemicals, acid, fertilizer Corrosion other than perforation (metal rust-through) due to defects in material or workmanship that is otherwise covered by the 5 years or 60,000 odometer miles MMNA New Vehicle Limited Warranty The section titled OTHER TERMS stated in the MMNA New Vehicle Limited Warranty also applies to this limited warranty.

16 NEW VEHICLE LIMITED WARRANTY THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOUR MMNA ANTI-CORROSION PERFORATION LIMITED WAR- RANTY: ING YOUR MITSUBISHI VEHICLE If your Vehicle is damaged and requires sheet metal repair or replacement, be sure anti-corrosion materials are applied to the parts repaired or replaced. MAINTAINING YOUR MITSUBISHI VEHICLE Washing: The best way to preserve your Vehicle s finish and aid in avoiding rust is to keep the Vehicle clean by washing it frequently. Wash the Vehicle only with lukewarm or cold water. Do not wash the Vehicle in the direct rays of the sun, or use strong soap or chemical detergents. Any cleaning agents used should be washed off promptly and not allowed to dry on the finish. Foreign Material Deposits: Calcium chloride and other salts, ice melting agents, road oil and tar, tree sap, bird droppings, chemicals from industrial chimneys, acid rain, and other foreign matter may damage the Vehicle finish if left on the painted surfaces. Prompt washing may not completely remove all these deposits. Additional cleaners may be needed. When using chemical cleaners developed for this purpose, be sure they are safe for use on painted surfaces. Underbody Maintenance: Corrosive materials used for ice removal and dust control can collect on underbody surfaces. If these materials are not removed, accelerated corrosion can occur on the underbody parts, such as fuel lines, frame, floor pan and exhaust system. At least twice a year, thoroughly flush these materials from the underbody with plain water. 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 repaired promptly. Bare metal will corrode quickly and can develop into a major repair expense. Minor chips and scratches can be repaired with touch-up materials available from your Authorized Mitsubishi Motors Dealer or Authorized Service Center. 13

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT BOTH THE EMIS- SION CONTROL SYSTEM DEFECT WARRANTY AND THE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM PERFORMANCE WARRANTY The emission control system of your new 2006 Mitsubishi vehicle was designed, built and tested using Authorized Mitsubishi Motors Parts and the Vehicle is certified as being in conformity with applicable emission regulations. Accordingly, it is recommended that any replacement parts used for maintenance or for the repair of emission control systems be new or remanufactured Authorized Mitsubishi Motors Parts. THE WARRANTY OBLIGATIONS ARE NOT DEPENDENT UPON THE USE OF ANY PARTICULAR BRAND OF REPLACEMENT PART. THE OWNER MAY ELECT TO USE NON-AUTHORIZED MITSUBISHI MOTORS PARTS FOR REPLACEMENT PURPOSES. THE USE OF REPLACEMENT PARTS WHICH ARE NOT EQUIVALENT MAY IMPAIR THE EFFECTIVENESS OF EMISSION CON- TROL SYSTEMS. If other than Authorized Mitsubishi Motors Parts are used for maintenance replacements or for the repair of components affecting emission control, the owner should determine that such parts are warranted by the manufacturer to be equivalent to Authorized Mitsubishi Motors Parts in performance and durability. 16

20 FEDERAL EMISSION WARRANTY MAINTENANCE REPLACEMENT OR OF THE EMISSION CONTROL DEVICES AND SYSTEMS MAY BE PERFORMED BY ANY QUALIFIED AUTOMOTIVE ESTABLISHMENT OR INDIVIDUAL USING ANY PART CERTIFIED PURSUANT TO APPLICABLE EMIS- SION REGULATIONS; HOWEVER, WARRANTY SER- VICE MUST BE PERFORMED BY AN AUTHORIZED MITSUBISHI MOTORS DEALER OR AUTHORIZED SER- VICE CENTER. Claims under the Emission Control Systems Performance Warranty may not be denied due to the failure of a properly installed certified non-authorized Mitsubishi Motors Part. Receipts covering the performance of maintenance services should be retained in the event questions arise concerning maintenance. These receipts should be transferred to each subsequent owner of this Vehicle. MMNA reserves the right to deny warranty coverage if the Vehicle has not been properly maintained. However, denial will not be based solely on the absence of maintenance records. These warranties apply only to Vehicles manufactured to United States specifications and registered and normally operated in the 50 United States and Washington, D.C. Vehicles manufactured to other specifications or registered and normally operated elsewhere, shall be entitled to service of emission control systems on the basis of the warranty applicable to such other country or territory.

If an owner s warranty claim under the 2006 Emission Control Systems Performance Warranty is denied, MMNA will provide the owner with a written explanation of why the claim was denied within 30 days unless a shorter time period is required by law. Failure to provide an explanation within the required period may obligate MMNA to remedy the nonconformity under the Emission Control Systems Performance Warranty except: When delay is requested by the vehicle owner. When delay is caused by factors beyond the control of MMNA or Authorized Mitsubishi Motors Dealers or Authorized Service Centers.

HOWEVER, WARRANTY SERVICE MUST BE PER- FORMED BY AN AUTHORIZED MITSUBISHI MOTORS DEALER OR SERVICE CENTER, IN ORDER TO BE PER- FORMED AT NO CHARGE TO YOU. 23

27 CALIFORNIA EMISSION WARRANTY PARTS: IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT ANY REPLACEMENT PARTS USED FOR MAINTENANCE OR FOR THE OF THE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS BE NEW OR REMANUFACTURED, AUTHORIZED MITSUB- ISHI MOTORS PARTS. However, the warranty obligations ARE NOT dependent upon the use of any particular brand of replacement parts. The owner may elect to use non-authorized Mitsubishi Motors Parts for replacement purposes. Use of replacement parts which are not of equivalent quality to Authorized Mitsubishi Motors Parts may impair the effectiveness of emission control systems. NOTE New or Remanufactured Authorized Mitsubishi Motors Parts when used in connection with Mitsubishi vehicles, means parts manufactured by or approved by MITSUB- ISHI, designed for use on Mitsubishi vehicles and distributed by MMNA or any division or subsidiary of MMNA. WHAT IS NOT COVERED: The Warranty does not cover: Malfunction in any part caused by abuse, misuse, alteration, tampering, disconnection or improper or inadequate maintenance.

Any vehicle on which the odometer mileage has been altered so that actual vehicle mileage cannot readily be determined. Loss or damage to personal property, loss of revenue, commercial loss. Damages resulting from a defect in a part not designated by MMNA; see owner responsibilities stated above. 24

28 CALIFORNIA EMISSION WARRANTY EMERGENCY SERVICE: If emergency emission control system warranty service is required and the owner is unable to readily locate an Authorized Mitsubishi Motors Dealer or Authorized Service Center or if a warranted part is not available within 30 days, then, repairs may be performed at any available service establishment, or by the owner, using any replacement part. MMNA will reimburse the owner for the owner s expenses including diagnostic charges for such emergency repair or replacement at MMNA s suggested retail price for all warranted parts replaced and labor charges based on the MMNA s recommended time allowance for the warranty repair and the geographically appropriate hourly labor rate. Replaced parts and copies of paid original receipts must be available for presentation to MMNA as a condition of reimbursement for these emergency repairs. In addition, the owner must provide MMNA a detailed description indicating why the situation was considered an emergency and why an Authorized Mitsubishi Motors Dealer or Authorized Service Center was not available. Additional information may be obtained by calling MITSU-2006 ( ). A repair not being completed within 30 days due to the inability to obtain a warranted part or the unavailability of an authorized Mitsubishi Motors Dealer or Authorized Service Center constitutes an emergency. 25

36 U.S. territories and possessions (Except Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands) THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOUR MITSUBISHI ANTI- CORROSION PERFORATION LIMITED WARRANTY: ING YOUR MITSUBISHI VEHICLE If your Vehicle is damaged and requires sheet metal repair or replacement, be sure anti-corrosion materials are applied to the parts repaired or replaced. MAINTAINING YOUR MITSUBISHI VEHICLE Washing: The best way to preserve your Vehicle s finish and aid in avoiding rust is to keep the Vehicle clean by washing it frequently. Wash the Vehicle only with lukewarm or cold water. Do not wash the Vehicle in the direct rays of the sun, or use strong soap or chemical detergents. Any cleaning agents used should be washed off promptly and not allowed to dry on the finish. Foreign Material Deposits: Calcium chloride and other salts, ice melting agents, road oil and tar, tree sap, bird droppings, chemicals from industrial chimneys, acid rain, and other foreign matter may damage the Vehicle finish if left on the painted surfaces. Prompt washing may not completely remove all these deposits. Additional cleaners may be needed. When using chemical cleaners developed for this purpose, be sure they are safe for use on painted surfaces. Underbody Maintenance: Corrosive materials used for ice removal and dust control can collect on underbody surfaces. If these materials are not removed, accelerated corrosion can occur on the underbody parts, such as fuel lines, frame, floor pan and exhaust system. At least twice a year, thoroughly flush these materials from the underbody with plain water. 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 repaired promptly. Bare metal will corrode quickly and can develop into a major repair expense. Minor chips and scratches can be repaired with touch-up materials available from your Authorized Mitsubishi Motors Dealer or Authorized Service Center EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM DEFECT WARRANTY MITSUBISHI warrants to the owner of each new 2006 MITSUBISHI Vehicle, (1) that the Vehicle, was designed, built and equipped so as to conform at the time of sale to applicable regulations of the National Emission Standards Act, as amended, and (2) the Vehicle is free from defects in material and workmanship at the time of sale which would cause the Vehicle to fail to conform with such regulations for a period of 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever occurs first. MITSUBISHI additionally warrants the Engine Control Module, Transmission Control Module, Catalytic Converter(s) and Onboard Emission Diagnostic Device for 8 years or 80,000 miles, whichever occurs first. Any part of this Vehicle covered under this limited emission defect warranty and which proves to be defective will be repaired or replaced at no charge by any Authorized Mitsubishi Motors Dealer or Authorized Service Center, using new or remanufactured Authorized Mitsubishi Motors Parts. The limited warranty period begins on the date of original retail delivery or original use, whichever occurs first. This limited emission defect warranty shall not apply to parts other than Authorized Mitsubishi Motors Parts EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM PERFORMANCE WAR- RANTY Some states and local jurisdictions have established periodic vehicle inspection and maintenance (I/M) programs to encourage proper maintenance of your Vehicle. If an I/M Program in your area has EPA approval, you may be eligible for MITSUB- ISHI s performance warranty coverage under the following conditions: 1. The Vehicle has been maintained and operated in accordance with the scheduled maintenance instructions described in this booklet provided with your Vehicle. 2. The Vehicle fails to conform for a period of 2 years or 24,000 miles, whichever occurs first, to the applicable emission standards of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, as judged by an EPA approved I/M Test. MITSUBISHI additionally warrants the Engine Control Module, Transmission Control Module, Catalytic Converter(s) and Onboard Emission Diagnostic Device for 8 years or 80,000 miles, whichever occurs first. 3. The failure to conform results, or will result, in the owner of the Vehicle having to bear a penalty or other sanctions, including the denial or the right to use the Vehicle under local, state or federal law. If all the foregoing conditions are met, MITSUBISHI warrants that any Authorized Mitsubishi Motors Dealer or Authorized Service Center will replace, repair or adjust to MITSUBISHI s specifications at no charge, any of the components listed below or parts thereof, which may be necessary to cause your Vehicle to conform to the applicable emission standards.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT BOTH THE EMISSION CON- TROL SYSTEM DEFECT WARRANTY AND THE EMISSION CON- TROL SYSTEM PERFORMANCE WARRANTY The emission control system of your new 2006 MITSUBISHI Vehicle was designed, built and tested using Authorized Mitsubishi Motors Parts and the Vehicle is certified as being in conformity with applicable emission regulations. Accordingly, it is recommended that any replacement parts used for maintenance or for the repair of emission control systems be new or remanufactured Authorized Mitsubishi Motors Parts. THE WARRANTY OBLIGATIONS ARE NOT DEPENDENT UPON THE USE OF ANY PARTICULAR BRAND OF REPLACEMENT PART. THE OWNER MAY ELECT TO USE NON-AUTHORIZED MITSUBISHI MOTORS PARTS FOR REPLACEMENT PURPOSES. THE USE OF REPLACEMENT PARTS WHICH ARE NOT EQUIVA- LENT MAY IMPAIR THE EFFECTIVENESS OF EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS. If other than Authorized Mitsubishi Motors Parts are used for maintenance replacements or for the repair of components affecting emission control, the owner should determine that such parts are warranted by the manufacturer to be equivalent to Authorized Mitsubishi Motors Parts in performance and durability. MAINTENANCE REPLACEMENT OR OF THE EMISSION CONTROL DEVICES AND SYSTEMS MAY BE PERFORMED BY ANY QUALIFIED AUTOMO- TIVE ESTABLISHMENT OR INDIVIDUAL USING ANY PART CERTIFIED PURSUANT TO APPLICABLE EMISSION REGULATIONS; HOWEVER, WAR- RANTY SERVICE MUST BE PERFORMED BY AN AUTHORIZED MITSUBISHI MOTORS DEALER OR AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER. Claims under the Emission Control Systems Performance Warranty may not be denied due to the failure of a properly installed certified non-authorized Mitsubishi Motors Part. Receipts covering the performance of maintenance services should be retained in the event questions arise concerning maintenance. These receipts should be transferred to each subsequent owner of this Vehicle. MITSUBISHI reserves the right to deny warranty coverage if the Vehicle has not been properly maintained. However, denial will not be based solely on the absence of maintenance records.

Good maintenance is a necessary way to protect your investment and ensure proper performance. Your Mitsubishi Motors Dealership is in the best position to provide proper maintenance service through Mitsubishi s exclusive Diamond Care Service. Factory Trained Technicians Advanced Diagnostic Equipment Quality Workmanship Mitsubishi Genuine parts Mitsubishi Authorized Accessories Competitive Prices Fast Service Commitment to Customer Satisfaction Selecting the proper maintenance schedule There are two maintenance schedules that show proper service for your vehicle. Regardless of which maintenance schedule you follow, the use of fully synthetic motor oil is required. See Engine Oil and Filter in the Owner s Manual for details on motor oil requirements. First is Regular maintenance schedule. Follow the Regular maintenance schedule only if none of the driving conditions in the Severe maintenance section apply. Second is Severe maintenance schedule. Follow the severe maintenance schedule only if your vehicle is frequently driven under one or more of the following road conditions. Driving on dusty, rough, muddy or salt-spread roads Towing or police, taxi or commercial operation Extensive idling and /or low speed operation Repeated short-trip operation at freezing temperatures (engine not thoroughly warmed up) Extended use of brakes while driving Driving in sandy areas More than 50% operation in heavy city traffic during hot weather above 90 F (32 C) 36

40 Maintenance CALIFORNIA, MASSACHUSETTS, VERMONT and MAINE ONLY: Regular maintenance schedules; replace air cleaner filter at 15,000 mile intervals and replace timing belt, balancer belt (if equipped on your vehicle) at 60,000 mile intervals. These are recommended but are not required to maintain the emissions warranty. FEDERAL: Regular maintenance schedules; check fuel system for leaks, check fuel hoses condition, check and service exhaust system at 30,000 mile intervals. These are recommended but are not required to maintain the emission warranty. Emission control system maintenance Service station checks The following items should be inspected by either you or a service station attendant each time fuel is added: Engine oil level. Add if needed. Check Owner s Manual- See index and look under Engine Oil for detailed information. Engine coolant level. Add coolant to reservoir tank along with the proper mix if needed. Replace coolant if dirty or rusty in color. Check Owner s Manual-See index and look under Coolant for detailed information. Windshield washer fluid level. Add fluid to washer tank if necessary. Tire inspection. Inspect for unusual tire wear and proper inflation. Check Owner s Manual-See index and look under Tire for detailed information. The scheduled maintenance services, listed in bold type must be done at the times or mileages specified to assure the continued proper functioning of the emission control system. These, and all other maintenance services included in this manual, should be done to provide the best vehicle performance and reliability. More frequent maintenance may be needed for vehicles in severe operating conditions such as dusty areas and very short trip driving. Inspection and service also should be done any time a malfunction is suspected. 37
