2010 MITSUBISHI GRANDIS service

The catalytic converter itself gets hot quickly, and
may
be damaged if overheated. The following
points should be noted in order to prevent the igni-
tion of unburned petrol within the catalytic convert-
er.
l Use UNLEADED PETROL ONLY of the
type recommended in “Fuel selection” on
page 02.
l Do not drive with an extremely low fuel lev-
el; running out of fuel could cause damage to
the catalytic converter.
l Do not attempt to start the engine by pushing
the vehicle. If the battery is weak or dis-
charged, use another battery to start the en-
gine.
l Do not idle the engine with any spark plug
wires disconnected or removed such as per-
forming diagnostic tests.
l Do not idle the engine for prolonged periods
during very rough idle or malfunctioning op-
erating conditions.
l Do not race the engine when turning off the
ignition switch. This will cause the catalytic
converter to be damaged due to contact with
unburnt fuel.
l Stop driving the vehicle if you think the per-
formance is noticeably low, or if the engine
has a malfunction such as with the ignition,
etc.
If it is impractical to stop driving immediate-
ly, reduce the speed and drive for only a
short time. We recommend you to have your
vehicle inspected as soon as possible. l
In unusual situations involving grossly mal-
functioning engine operation, a burnt smell
may indicate severe and abnormal catalyst
overheating.
If this occurs, the vehicle should be stopped
in a safe place, the engine switched off and
the vehicle allowed to cool. Once the engine
is cool, a service, including a tune-up to man-
ufacturer’s specifications, should be obtained
immediately. Bonnet

Diesel-powered vehicles (for
diesel particulate filter models)
The engine oil used has a significant effect on the
engine’s performance, service life and startability.
Be sure to use oil of the recommended quality and
appropriate viscosity.
All engines consume a certain amount of oil during
normal operation, and engine oil consumption is
greatly influenced by payload, engine speed, etc.
Therefore, it is important to check the oil level at
regular intervals or before starting a long trip.
This check must be made with the engine warm but
not running. Park the vehicle on a level surface,
stop the engine, and then wait a few moments to al-
low the engine oil in circulation to return to the oil
pan to ensure accurate measurement.
Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean cloth.
Reinsert the dipstick as far as it goes. Remove the
dipstick and read the oil level, which should al-
ways be within the range indicated.
If the oil level is below the specified limit, remove
the cap located on the cylinder head cover and add
enough oil to raise the level to within the specified
range.
Be sure to use the specified engine oil and do not
mix various types of oil. Also, avoid mixing differ-
ent makes of oil together if possible.
After adding oil, close the cap securely.
Use

only the recommended oils with an ACEA or
API classification as specified in this manual.
NOTE
l The engine oil will deteriorate rapidly if the
vehicle is subjected to severe conditions (for
example, repeated operation on rough roads,
in mountainous regions, on roads with many
uphill and downhill gradients, or over short
distances). Consequently, the oil will require
earlier replacement.
l For handling of used engine oils, refer to
page 06.
Selection of engine oil

Petrol-powered vehicles 1. Select
engine oil of the proper SAE viscosity
number according to the atmospheric temper-
ature.
SAE 0W-30, 5W-30, and 5W-40 engine oilscan only be used if they meet ACEA A3/B3,
A3/B4 or A5/B5 and API SG (or higher) spec-
ifications. 2. Use
engine oil conforming to the following
classification:
l API classification: “For service SG” or
higher
l ILSAC certificated oil
l ACEA classification:
“For service A1/B1, A3/B3, A3/B4 or
A5/B5”
NOTE l Use of additives is not recommended since
they may reduce the effectiveness of addi-
tives already included in the engine oil. It
may result in failure of the mechanical assem-
bly.

Diesel-powered vehicles Use engine oil conforming to the following
classification:• Vehicles with DPF= “VW 50700”
• Vehicles without DPF= “VW50501/50601/50700”
NOTE l Use of additives is not recommended since
they may reduce the effectiveness of addi-
tives already included in the engine oil. It
may result in failure of the mechanical assem-
bly. 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. Unhook the spring (E), which secures the
bulb, and remove the bulb. 4. To
install the bulb, perform the removal
steps in reverse. CAUTION
l
Handle
halogen lamp bulbs with care.
The gas inside halogen lamp bulbs is high-
ly pressurized, so dropping, knocking, or
scratching a halogen lamp bulb can cause
it to shatter.
l Never hold the halogen lamp bulb with a
bare hand, dirty glove, etc.
The oil from your hand could cause the
bulb to break the next time the head-
lamps are operated.
If the glass surface is dirty, it must be
cleaned with alcohol, paint thinner, etc.,
and refit it after drying it thoroughly. Replacement of low beam (for vehicles with dis-
charge headlamps)
Do

not attempt to disassemble or repair discharged
headlamps, and do not attempt to replace their bulbs. CAUTION
l
A high voltage is present in the power cir-
cuit

and in the bulbs and bulb terminals.
To avoid the risk of an electric shock, con-
tact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point whenever repair or re-
placement is necessary. Replacement of high-beam
1. For
diesel-powered vehicles, remove the
bolts (A) to remove the power steering reser-
voir tank (B). 2. Pull
