THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOUR MITSUBISHI ANTI-
CORROSION PERFORATION LIMITED WARRANTY:
REPAIRING 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.
NOTE:
This anti-corrosion perforation warranty covers perforation due to corrosion only.
Perforation means a rust-through condition, such as an actual hole in a sheet
metal panel.
This warranty applies to Vehicles registered and normally operated in the United
States territories and possessions.
