10-10 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER PRECAUTIONS Before servicing any vehicle, please be sure to read all of the following precautions, which deal with personal safety, prevention of component damage, and important points to take into consideration when servicing a motor vehicle: • Never open, service or drain the radiator or cooling system when the engine is hot; serious burns can occur from the steam and hot coolant. • Observe all applicable safety precautions when working around fuel. Whenever servicing the fuel system, always work in a well-ventilated area. Do not allow fuel spray or vapors to come in contact with a spark, open flame, or excessive heat (a hot drop light, for example). Keep a dry chemical fire extinguisher near the work area. Always keep fuel in a container specifically designed for fuel storage; also, always properly seal fuel containers to avoid the possibility of fire or explosion. Refer to the additional fuel system precautions later in this section. • Fuel injection systems often remain pressurized, even after the engine has been turned OFF. The fuel system pressure must be relieved before disconnecting any fuel lines. Failure to do so may result in fire and/or personal injury. • Brake fluid often contains polyglycol ethers and polyglycols. Avoid contact with the eyes and wash your hands thoroughly after handling brake fluid. If you do get brake fluid in your eyes, flush your eyes with clean, running water for 15 minutes. If eye irritation persists, or if you have taken BRAKES GENERAL INFORMATION The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) elec- tronically controls the brake fluid pressure of all 4 wheels to ensure stability and oper- ability (driveability) in the direction of the vehicle upon quick braking. This ABS features a 4 sensor, 3 channel system with left/right independent control of the front wheels and integrated control of the rear wheels (select low control*). *»*Select low control: Control system that compares the speeds of the right and left wheels and performs the same fluid pressure control on both wheels according to the speed of the wheel that is likely to be locked brake fluid intej medical assist} • The EPA \h used engif skin disorders, should make e\e to us< gloves should t Wash your han skin areas as si sure to used en waterless hand • All new ve with an air bag Supplemental R Supplemental tern.

You should always buy the correct type of brake fluid for your vehicle. If the brake fluid becomes contaminated, completely flush the system with new fluid. Never reuse any brake fluid. Any brake fluid that is removed from the system should be discarded. Also, do not allow any brake fluid to come in contact with a painted surface; it will damage the paint. • Never operate the engine without the proper amount and type of engine oil; doing so WILL result in severe engine damage. • Timing belt maintenance is extremely important. Many models utilize an interference-type, non-freewheeling engine. If the timing belt breaks, the valves in the cylinder head may strike the pistons, caus- ing potentially serious (also time-consum- ing and expensive) engine damage. Refer to the maintenance interval charts for the rec- ommended replacement interval for the timing belt, and to the timing belt section for belt replacement and inspection. • Disconnecting the negative battery cable on some vehicles may interfere with the functions of the on-board computer system^) and may require the computer to undergo a relearning process once the negative battery cable is reconnected. • When servicing drum brakes, only dis- assemble and assemble one side at a time, leaving the remaining side intact for refer- ence. • Only an MVAC-trained, EPA-certified automotive technician should service the air conditioning system or its components.
