HEALTH WARNING

Prolonged and repeated contact with mineral oil will
result in the removal of natural fats from the skin,
leading to dryness, irritation and dermatitis. In addi-
tion, used engine oil contains potentially harmful con-
taminants which may cause skin cancer. Adequate
means of skin protection and washing facilities must
be provided.

RECOMMENDED PRECAUTIONS

The most effective precaution is to adapt working
practices which prevent, as far as practicable, the
risk of skin contact with mineral oils, for example by
using enclosed systems for handling used engine oil
and by degreasing components, where practicable,
before handling them.
Other precautions:

• Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils,

particularly used engine oils.

• Wear protective clothing, including impervious

gloves where practicable.

• Avoid contaminating clothes, particularly under-

pants, with oil.

• Do not put oily rags in pockets, the use of overalls

without pockets will avoid this.

• Do not wear heavily soiled clothing and

oil-impregnated foot-wear. Overalls must be
cleaned regularly and kept separately from per-
sonal clothing.

• Where there is a risk of eye contact, eye protec-

tion should be worn, for example, chemical gog-
gles or face shields; in addition an eye wash
facility should be provided.

• Obtain first aid treatment immediately for open

cuts and wounds.

• Wash regularly with soap and water to ensure all

oil is removed, especially before meals (skin
cleansers and nail brushes will help). After clean-
ing, the application of preparations containing
lanolin to replace the natural skin oils is advised.

• Do not use petrol, kerosine, diesel fuel, gas oil,

thinners or solvents for cleaning skin.

• Use barrier creams, applying them before each

work period, to help the removal of oil from the
skin after work.

• If skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice

without delay.

FORM

−IN−PLACE GASKET (FIPG)

M1001014200132

The engine has several parts to which the
form-in-place gasket (FIPG) is used. To sufficiently
achieve the aims of this gasket, it is necessary to pay
attention to the application amount, procedure, and
surface status.
If the application amount is too small, a leakage will
occur. If the application amount is excessive, the
FIPG will overflow and cause a clogging or narrowing
of water and oil paths. Therefore, to eliminate the
leak from the joint, it is indispensable that the FIPG
be applied with a correct amount and without any
gap.
Because the FIPG used for the engine parts
becomes hardened by the reaction with the atmos-
pheric moisture, it is normally used for the metal
flange section.

CAUTION

Reapply the FIPG with care to the followings.

1. Completely remove the old FIPG including the

residue in gaps of parts.

2. Using Mitsubishi genuine parts cleaner

(MZ100387) or equivalent, degrease the FIPG
application surface carefully.

3. According to the FIPG application proce-

dures, apply it accurately.

DISASSEMBLY

The parts installed with the FIPG can be disassem-
bled easily without using any special method. How-
ever, in some cases, it is necessary to tear the
sealant in between the mating surfaces by tapping
the parts with a wooden hammer or similar tools. It is
acceptable to lightly hit in a smooth, thin gasket
scraper into the mating surface, but, in this case, a
sufficient caution is required not to damage the mat-
ing surface. The oil pan FIPG cutter (Special tool:
MD998727) is provided. Thus, use this special tool.

GASKET SURFACE CLEANING

Use a gasket scraper or wire brush to completely
remove all the foreign materials adhering to the gas-
ket surface. Check that the FIPG application surface
is smooth. There must be no grease or foreign mate-
rial adhesion to the gasket surface. Do not forget to
remove the old FIPG remaining in the mounting hole
and tapped hole.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE

Apply the FIPG with a specified diameter and without
any gap. Completely enclose around the mounting
hole. When the FIPG is not hardened, it can be
wiped off. Install the parts immediately after applying
the FIPG. At the time of installation, prevent the FIPG
from adhering to locations other than it is necessary.
After the installation, until a sufficient period of time
(one hour or more) elapses, do not contact the oil or
water to the application area. Also, do not start the
engine. Because the FIPG application procedure
may differ depending on the application area, apply
the FIPG according to the procedure described in the
text.

BOLTS AND NUTS WITH STABILIZER
FOR COEFFICIENT OF FRICTION

M1001014800060

The bolts and nuts with stabilizer for coefficient of
friction have been used for the connections such as
the suspension arm and crossmember in order to
stabilize the axial force and to ensure the high axial
force at bolt/nut connections, resulting in improved
reliability.

NOTE: The bolts and nuts with stabilizer for coeffi-
cient of friction mean that the bolts and nuts with sur-
face treatment to stabilize and reduce the coefficient
of friction, allowing to achieve the stable axial force
and to secure the high axial force with low tightening
torque.

APPLICATION OF ANTI-CORROSION
AGENTS AND UNDERCOATS

M1001011000258

If oil or grease gets onto the oxygen sensor, it will
cause a drop in the performance of the sensor.
Cover the oxygen sensor with a protective cover
when applying anti-corrosion agents and undercoats.

VEHICLE WASHING

If high-pressure car-washing equipment or steam
car-washing equipment is used to wash the vehicle,
be sure to note the following information in order to
avoid damage to plastic components, etc.

• Spray nozzle distance: Approx. 40 cm or more

• Spray pressure: 3,900 kPa or less

• Spray temperature: 82°C or less

• Time of concentrated spray to one point: within

30 sec.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

M1001009801186

The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) and seat
belt with pre-tensioner is designed to supplement the
driver's and front passenger's seat belts to help
reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and
front passenger by activating and deploying both
front air bags in certain frontal collisions. The side-air
bag and the curtain air bag are activated when an
impact exceeds the threshold upon a side collision,
and inflates to protect the heads of the occupants in
the front and rear seats.

The SRS consists of air bag modules, SRS air bag
control unit (SRS-ECU), two front impact sensors,
two side impact sensors, SRS warning lamp, clock
spring, passenger’s air bag cut off switch, passen-
ger’s air bag OFF indicator lamp and seat belt
pre-tensioner. Front air bags are located in the centre
of the steering wheel and above the glove box. Each
air bag is made up of a folded air bag and an inflator
unit. Side-airbags are located inside the front seat-
back assemblies. The curtain air bag module con-
sists of an air bag, an inflator, and the fixing gear
relating to those parts, and is installed in the roof side
sections (from the driver's and the passenger's front

pillars to the rear pillars).The SRS-ECU under the
front floor console monitors the system and has a
front air bag analogue G-sensor, front air bag ana-
logue G-sensor and a side (curtain) air bag analogue
G-sensor. The front impact sensor is installed on the
front end upper bar in the engine room and contains
an analogue G-sensor. The side impact sensor is
installed in the lower parts of the centre pillars, and
contains an analogue G-sensor. The warning lamp
on the instrument panel indicates the operational sta-
tus of the SRS. The clock spring is installed in the

steering column. The passenger’s air bag cut off
switch is outside the instrument panel side. The pas-
senger’s air bag OFF indicator lamp is installed in
centre panel assembly. The seat belt pre-tensioner is
built into the driver's and passenger's front seat belt
retractor.
Only authorized service personnel should do work on
or around the SRS components. Those service per-
sonnel should read this manual carefully before start-
ing any such work.
