2010 MITSUBISHI GRANDIS engine

Battery
E01001202014
The
condition of the battery is very important for
quick starting of the engine and proper functioning
of the vehicle’s electrical system. Regular inspec-
tion and care are especially important in cold weath-
er.
Checking battery electrolyte level
Petrol-powered vehicles
Diesel-powered vehicles The electrolyte level must be between the specified
limit

on the outside of the battery. Replenish with
distilled water as necessary. The inside of the battery is divided into several com-
partments;

remove the cap from each compartment
and fill to the upper mark. Do not top up beyond
the upper mark because spillage during driving
could cause damage.
Check the electrolyte level at least once every 4
weeks, depending on the operating conditions.
If the battery is not used, it will discharge by itself
with time. Check it once every 4 weeks and charge
with low current as necessary.
During cold weather
The capacity of the battery is reduced at low tem-
peratures. This is an inevitable result of its chemi-
cal and physical properties. This is why a very cold
battery, particularly one that is not fully charged,
will only deliver a fraction of the starter current
which is normally available.
We recommend you to have the battery checked be-
fore the start of cold weather and, if necessary,
have it charged or replaced.
This does not only ensure reliable starting, but a bat-
tery which is kept fully charged also has a longer life.
Disconnection and connection
To disconnect the battery cable, stop the engine,
first disconnect the negative (-) terminal and then
the positive (+) terminal. When connecting the bat-
tery, first connect the positive (+) terminal and then
the negative (-) terminal.
NOTE
l Open the terminal cover (A) before discon-
necting or connecting the positive (+) termi-
nal of the battery.
l Loosen the nut (B), and then disconnect the
battery cable from the positive (+) terminal.Petrol-powered vehicles
Diesel-powered vehicles WARNING
l Keep
sparks, cigarettes, and flames away
from the battery because the battery
could explode. Maintenance

Brake pedal free play
E01002300210
Stop
the engine, depress the brake pedal several
times, and press down the pedal with your fingers
until initial resistance is felt. This distance should
be within the specified range. A- Free play: 3 to 8 mm
If

the brake pedal free play is not within the stand-
ard range, we recommend you to have it checked. Parking brake lever stroke
E01005800362
Pull

the parking brake lever up to check the num-
ber of “clicks” that the ratchet makes. One click rep-
resents a lever movement of one notch. The lever
should move the specified number of notches for
normal brake application. A- Parking brake lever stroke: 5 to 6 notches
(Parking
brake adjustment when pulled with
the force of 200 N)
If the parking brake lever stroke is out of the stand-
ard range, we recommend you to have it checked. WARNING
l Continued
operation of the vehicle with
the parking brake lever or pedal out of ad-
justment may result in the vehicle moving
when unattended. Parking brake break-in
E01008300212
Break-in

the parking brake linings whenever the
brake performance of the parking brake is insuffi-
cient or whenever the parking brake linings and/or
discs are replaced, in order to assure the best brake
performance.
This procedure is described in the vehicle service
manual and can be carried out by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point. Maintenance

3. Slide a new wiper blade through the hook
(B) on the wiper arm. NOTE
l Do

not allow the wiper arm to fall onto the
window glass; it could damage the glass.
4. Firmly insert the retainer (C) into the groove (D) in the wiper blade. Refer to the illustration to ensure that the re-
tainers

are correctly aligned as you insert
them into the groove. NOTE
l If

a retainer is not supplied with the new wip-
er blade, use the retainer from the old blade. General maintenance

Fuel, engine coolant, oil and exhaust
gas leakage
Look

under the body of your vehicle to check for
fuel, engine coolant, oil and exhaust gas leaks. WARNING
l If
you see a suspicious fuel leak or if you
smell fuel, do not operate the vehicle; we
recommend you to call for assistance.
Exterior and interior lamp operation
Operate
the combination lamp switch to check that
all lamps are functioning properly.
If the lamps do not illuminate, the probable cause
is a blown fuse or defective lamp bulb. Check the
fuses first. If there is no blown fuses, check the
lamp bulbs.
For information regarding the inspection and re-
placement of the fuses and the lamp bulbs, refer to
“Fuses” on page 8-20 and “Replacement of lamp
bulbs” on page 8-25.
If the fuses and bulbs are all OK, we recommend
you to have your vehicle checked and repaired.
Meter, gauge and indicator/warning
lamps operation
Run the engine to check the operation of all meters,
gauges, and indicator/warning lamps.
If there is anything wrong, we recommend you to
have your vehicle inspected. Maintenance

cuit is provided with a fuse.
There are fuse blocks in the passenger compart-
ment and in the engine compartment.
Passenger compartment
The fuse block in the passenger compartment is lo-
cated behind the fuse box lid (LHD vehicles) or the

Fuse load capacity
The fuse capacity and the name of the electrical sys-
tems protected by the fuses are indicated at the fuse
box lid (LHD vehicles) or the personal box (RHD
vehicles) and on the inside of the fuse block cover
for fuses located in the engine compartment.

Some fuses may not be installed on your ve-
hicle, depending on the vehicle model or spec-
ifications.
l The table above shows the main equipment
corresponding to each fuse.
The fuse box does not contain spare 7.5 A,
10 A and 15 A fuses. If a fuse of one of these
capacities blows, replace it temporarily by
borrowing the one that matches from:
7.5 A: Outside rear-view mirrors
10 A: Radio (Engine compartment)
15 A: Accessory socket
Replace the borrowed fuse as soon as possible.
