cLEANING THE INTERIOR

A few handy tips for cleaning the interior of your Mitsubishi:    

• Clean plastic, vinyl, leather, fabric and flocked parts with a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm water and a small amount of neutral detergent.
• Don't use cleaners, conditioners or protectants that contain silicone or wax. These products may cause annoying reflections that obscure your vision.
• Clean the carpet with a vacuum cleaner and remove any stains with carpet cleaner.
• Oil and grease can be removed from carpets by lightly dabbing with a clean, colourfast cloth and stain remover.

CLEANING THE EXTERIOR

Keep the exterior of your Mitsubishi looking clean and new by ensuring the following:

• If the exterior of your vehicle comes into contact with saltwater, anti-freeze, soot or dust, iron powder, bird droppings or any corrosive chemical substances, be sure to wash it immediately.
• After washing your vehicle, make sure all traces of soap or detergent are removed, and wipe it dry with a soft cloth.
• After washing, also carefully clean the joints and flanges of the doors and engine hood where dirt is likely to hide from view.
• If you live in a coastal area, it’s particularly important to wash your car regularly. Wind-born spray from the sea can distribute salt for a distance of up to 20 kilometres from the shore.

CLEANING THE UNDERSIDE

For 4WD vehicles such as the Pajero, Outlander and Triton, it’s important to keep the underside clean – particularly if you drive off-road.  This will remove corrosive dirt, dust and salt water.
 
When washing the underside:

• Be sure to wear a pair of rubber gloves and exercise caution. 
• Be careful not to spray water onto any electrical components in the engine compartment.
