BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Pre Delivery Inspection (PDI) processes described in this bulletin were developed to ensure a
“fault−free” delivery.
This bulletin contains general descriptions of most required Technical and Detail inspection checks
organized in a logical and time−efficient order. The Technical and Detail procedures are divided into
separate sections. It is critical that all the steps are completed while keeping the vehicle clean inside
and out during the entire PDI process.
The PDI process is important. Remember to:
D Avoid pressure to rush through PDI.
D Never skip steps on the PDI form and always use it to confirm you have completed all steps.
Once you are familiar with these procedures, the PDI form acts as a guide to the process.
Complete the 2016 PDI Technical and/or Detail quiz from the Mitsubishi Academy at
www.MitsubishiAcademy.com, if you haven’t already done so.
NOTE: If any repairs are needed, ensure they are made before the customer takes delivery of the
vehicle. Any defects in materials and/or workmanship discovered during PDI should be
corrected and claimed under warranty. Adjustments and repairs are not part of the PDI flat
rate time.
The following TSBs are quoted in this bulletin. You should be familiar with their details before beginning.
All are available on MEDIC.

TECHNICAL INSPECTION
The Detail Specialist should complete the DETAILING BEFORE PDI section before handing the
vehicle off to the Technician for PDI Technical Inspection. Refer to the DETAIL INSPECTION
section of this bulletin for complete detailing information for both before and after Technical
Inspection.
Use the PDI form and this PDI bulletin as a guide. After completing each step, check−off that procedure
on the form. The sequence in which you perform the steps may vary depending on your dealership’s
procedures, facilities, and the vehicle itself. Be sure that all steps that apply are checked on the form. Be
sure the PDI form is signed and dated, and copies filed in the “vehicle packet” and service file at your
dealership. If you have questions about checking a specific feature or specifications, refer to the service
manual, new model training guides, and/or the owner’s manual for details.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT offer any vehicle for sale if it has an outstanding recall campaign. Doing so subjects
the dealer to large fines. Check the Superscreen for possible outstanding recalls.
BEFORE YOU START
Make sure the following information is recorded in the proper spaces on the PDI form.
D
Repair order number
D
Model
D
Dealer stock number
D
Model Year
D
Ignition key code
D
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
D
Wheel lock code (if equipped)

dealer’s internal procedures, they must be returned to the glovebox prior to retail delivery. This includes:
1) Owner’s Manual, 2) Warranty and Maintenance Manual, 3) Tire Warranty Statements, 4) Navigation
system program disc for restoring basic functions in case of SD card failure (if equipped) and any other
items meant for the customer.
A. VEHICLE READINESS
Before you start the inspection, retrieve the wheel covers, remote transmitters, radio antenna, and any
other shipped loose items from the trunk and/or glovebox as applicable.
1. *** IMPORTANT ***
RECALLS − Check the Warranty Superscreen for open recalls. Make sure any open recall is
performed BEFORE the vehicle is road tested.
Mitsubishi vehicles are equipped with one of three
entry/engine starting systems.
Multi−function F.A.S.T.
Key
key with RKE
O.S.S
D
A standard multi−function key with Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) buttons.
D
Free−hand Access Security Transmitter (F.A.S.T.
Key) System − Turn the knob located in the traditional
key location while the transmitter is in the vehicle.
D
One−touch Start System (O.S.S.) − Push button
starting. Used with F.A.S.T. Key system only.
2. Start the engine to check cold start engine performance. The engine should start quickly using
all keys (or transmitters). It should idle smoothly and not have any hesitation or unusual noise when
accelerated. If the vehicle is equipped with the F.A.S.T. Key System or One−touch (push button) Start
System (O.S.S.), separate the transmitters and ensure the vehicle starts and does not stall, in both
keyless operation mode and using the emergency key (if equipped).
F.A.S.T. Key vehicles: Separate the emergency key from the transmitter. Assemble it to the
transmitter so the key can be used. Remove the ignition knob from the ignition switch, insert the
key/transmitter assembly and start the engine. Refer to the owner’s manual for instructions.
O.S.S. vehicles: This step should be performed before the Ignition Off Draw (IOD) is connected.
Insert each transmitter into the key slot and press the START/STOP button. See the service or owners
manual for the location of the key slot.
Underhood location
In−car location
During shipping of Mitsubishi vehicles, dark current is
minimized by not connecting the IOD connector. It is
positioned in the disconnected position (pulled up) and
must be connected by pressing it down for the affected
circuits to be completed.
The IOD is a yellow, sliding, fuse holder located in either
the underhood fuse box or in interior fuse box depending
on model. To complete these circuits, push down firmly
on the holder until two (2) detents engage.

3. Engage (push down) the IOD connector. The ignition switch must be off for this step. On Lancer
badged models, Outlander and Outlander Sport the IOD connector is in the relay box under the hood.
If the relay box cover is protected by rap−guard, remove it at this time.
4. Immobilizer (all key types)
Separate ALL keys (or transmitters) and, confirm they ALL start the engine without stalling. For
vehicles with keyless operation transmitters, separate the transmitters and enter the vehicle with one
at a time and start the engine. Vehicles with FAST key and/or OSS, if the vehicle does not start,
confirm the IOD has been firmly connected.
If the vehicle starts, then stalls, one or more keys may not have been registered, or there may be an
immobilizer system fault. Refer to the service manual for diagnostic procedures, and use MEDIC

Detail Inspection
A. DETAILING BEFORE PDI
BEFORE YOU START
NOTE: Always keep your hands and uniform clean when performing a PDI.
To protect the interior of the vehicle, be sure to remove sharp objects from your body and clothing before
starting the detailing procedures.
Make sure the following information is recorded in the spaces provided on the PDI form:
D
Repair order number
D
Model
D
Dealer stock number
D
Model Year
D
Ignition key code
D
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
D
Wheel lock code (if equipped)
1. RAP−FILM REMOVAL (if applicable)
Before a technician can perform the Technical portion of a PDI, the protective film (RAP−film) must
be removed from the exterior body surfaces.
NOTE: For easiest removal, Rap−film temperature should be between 32_F (0_C) and 122_F (50_C).
For certain models, the driver entry area is protected by
a clear Rap−film placed on the scuff plate and/or lower
door area. This is to protect the area from damage while
the vehicle is available for viewing by customers or in
dealer storage, improving initial quality survey (IQS)
scores. The Outlander is protected in both areas and the
Lancer is protected on the lower door only.
THIS AREA SHOULD REMAIN PROTECTED BY THE
CLEAR RAP−FILM UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS
DELIVERED TO THE FINAL RETAIL CUSTOMER.
Please do not remove clear Rap−Film from the lower
door or sill area prior to retail delivery.
Page 17 of 23
TSB−15−00−005
a. Remove the exterior RAP−film from all body surfaces:
D
If the temperature of the vehicle body is higher than 122_F (50_C), the film softens, allowing
more residue to remain on the body surface. For easier removal, decrease the temperature
of the vehicle body surface to less than 104_F (40_C) with cool water and/or store the vehicle
inside, out of the sun.
OR
D
If the body surface temperature is lower than 32_F (0_C), increase the temperature using
warm water or put the vehicle inside a heated facility until the body surface temperature rises.
Then, starting at the corners, pull up on the RAP−film, fold it back, and pull it off at an angle of
180 degrees to minimize glue residue.
b. Wash the vehicle with water.
NOTE: ALL RAP−FILM MUST BE REMOVED AFTER 5 MONTHS
2. IMPORTANT: Remove RAP−FILM RESIDUE
A line of adhesive residue can form at the edge of the
Rap−film. As the film shrinks due to exposure to the
elements, the adhesive is exposed and collects dirt
and other debris. Use either of the following methods
to remove Rap−film residue from the body surface.
D
If there is a considerable amount of residue,
remove it by wiping down the affected body
surface area with isopropyl alcohol, diluted 50%
with mineral spirits (petroleum benzene).
OR
D
If there is only a small amount of residue, use a
very mild (white) polishing compound on the
affected surface area.
For details on removing RAP−film and residue, refer to
TSB−97−00−006 & TSB−00−00−002.
3. Inspect for PAINT DAMAGE
a. Inspect the vehicle’s surfaces for paint swelling (paint will have a milky appearance). This
condition occurs when moisture is trapped between the RAP−film and the body panel surface.
b. Most occurrences of paint swelling can be corrected by parking the vehicle in bright sun light for
approximately one hour.
NOTE: If the above repairs are not successful for correcting paint swelling, refer to the paint repair
procedures in the Body Repair Manual for the model.
c.
It is recommended that the Technical Inspection be completed at this time. Continue with the
Detail After PDI portion after the Technical Inspection is finished.
Whenever possible, install all accessories and dealer installed options BEFORE performing
Detailing and Final Delivery Preparation.
B. DETAILING AFTER PDI

In some cases, it may take 4 minutes or longer to produce any evidence of a leak.
During storage, when the vehicle has been exposed to rain with the RAP−film removed, or while
washing the vehicle, note any water leaks that may require repair.
Remember, the source of the water leak is not always where the leak appears. To accurately locate
and repair a leak, a thorough understanding of the conditions the leak was identified must be made
known to the person making repairs.
