It is the owner's responsibility to make sure that both scheduled maintenance and general maintenance are performed at the appropriate times and intervals.
As the owner of the Mitsubishi Outlander, you play a central role in ensuring that the vehicle receives the care it requires. Proper maintenance depends on timely inspections, servicing, and attention to developing problems before they become more serious.
General maintenance
General maintenance includes inspections and checks that should be carried out during normal day-to-day vehicle use. These items are important for safe, reliable, and efficient operation, and it is the owner's responsibility to make sure they are performed regularly as specified.
Most general maintenance inspections require only basic mechanical knowledge and a small number of common automotive tools.
These routine checks may be performed by the owner, a qualified automotive technician, or, if preferred, by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
Scheduled maintenance
