2010 MITSUBISHI GRANDIS coolant level

Blower speed selection switch
E00706300104
When
the blower speed selection switch or AUTO
switch is pressed, the air conditioning (cooling and
dehumidifying functions) starts operating. When
the OFF switch (A) is pressed, it stops.
The indication lamp (B) for the selected blower
speed illuminates. NOTE
l The blower speed is memorized when the en-
gine is shut down.
If

the battery is disconnected and reconnec-
ted, however, the memory is erased and the
blower speed is automatically set to the
“OFF” position.
Temperature control lever E00706400059
The temperature control lever is used to adjust the
air temperature. Move it rightward to increase the temperature and
leftward to reduce the temperature.

NOTE l The mode changes in accordance with the air
temperature. (Refer to “Changing the rear
mode selection” on page 5-04.)
l When the engine coolant temperature is ex-
tremely low (for example, in extremely cold
weather), moving the temperature control lev-
er has no effect on the air temperature. Operating the system in automatic
mode

2.

Set the desired temperature using the temper-ature control lever (B). The temperature can
be set within a range from the minimum to
the maximum.
NOTE l Adjust the temperature to the desired level us-
ing the temperature control lever (centred for
reference).

3. Confirm that the cooling fans are turning. If
the fans are not turning, stop the engine im-
mediately and have it checked.

WARNING
l Be
careful not to get your hands or
clothes caught in the cooling fans. 4. After
the engine coolant temperature has drop-
ped to the normal temperature, stop the engine. 5. Check the coolant level in the reserve tank.
Petrol-powered vehicles
The

reserve tank lid (C) is equipped with a
dipstick.

Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean
cloth. Reinsert the dipstick as far as it goes.
Remove the dipstick and read the coolant lev-
el, which should always be within the range
indicated.

l If
there is none, make sure that the en-
gine has cooled down before removing
the radiator cap (B), because hot steam
or boiling water otherwise will gush from
the filler port and may scald you.
Diesel-powered vehicles
The
coolant level in this tank should be kept
between the “LOW” and “FULL” marks.

there is none, make sure that the en-
gine has cooled down before removing

6. Add
coolant to the radiator and/or reserve tank if necessary. (Refer to the “Mainte-
nance” section.) For emergencies

Engine coolant
E01000501361
To check the coolant level
A
translucent coolant reserve tank is located in the
engine compartment.
Petrol-powered vehicles
Check the coolant level in the reserve tank. The re-
serve tank lid (B) is equipped with a dipstick.

Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean cloth.
Reinsert the dipstick as far as it goes. Remove the
dipstick and read the coolant level, which should al-
ways be within the range “F” (FULL) or “L”
(LOW) while the engine is cold.
FULL
LOW To add coolant
The

cooling system is a closed system and normal-
ly the loss of coolant should be very slight. A no-
ticeable drop in the coolant level could indicate leak-
age. If this occurs, we recommend you to have the
system checked as soon as possible.
If the level should drop below the “L” (LOW) level
on the dipstick, add coolant to the reserve tank. Also, if the reserve tank is completely empty, re-
move

the radiator cap (A) and add coolant until the
level reaches the filler neck. WARNING
l Do
not open the radiator cap while the en-
gine is hot. The coolant system is under
pressure and any hot coolant escaping
could cause severe burns.
Anti-freeze
The
engine coolant contains an ethylene glycol anti-
corrosion agent. The cylinder head and water pump
housing are cast aluminium alloy, and periodic
changing of the engine coolant is necessary to pre-
vent corrosion of these parts.

Use “DIA QUEEN SUPER LONG LIFE COOL-
ANT” or equivalent.
MITSUBISHI Genuine Coolant has excellent pro-
tection against corrosion and rust formation of all
metals including aluminium and can avoid block-
ages in the radiator, heater, cylinder head, engine
block, etc.
Because of the necessity of this anti-corrosion
agent, the coolant must not be replaced with plain
water even in summer. The required concentration
of anti-freeze differs depending on the expected am-
bient temperature. Ambient
temperature (minimum) °C -15 -20 -25 -30 -35 -50 Anti-freeze
concentra- tion % 30 35 40 45 50 60 CAUTION
l
Do
not use alcohol or methanol anti-
freeze or any engine coolants mixed with
alcohol or methanol anti-freeze. The use
of an improper anti-freeze can cause cor-
rosion of the aluminium components.
l For effective anti-corrosion and anti-
freeze performance, keep the anti-freeze
concentration within the range of 30 to
60 %.
Concentrations exceeding 60 % will re-
sult in a reduction of both the anti-freeze
and cooling performance thus adversely
affecting the engine.
l Do not top up with water only.
Water by itself reduces the rust-protec-
tive and anti-freeze qualities of the cool-
ant and has a lower boiling point. It can
also cause damage to the cooling system if
it should freeze. Do not use tapwater, as it
can cause corrosion and rust formation. Maintenance

Diesel-powered vehicles
The
coolant level in this tank should be kept be-
tween the “LOW” and “FULL” marks when meas-
ured while the engine is cold.
FULL
LOW To add coolant
The

cooling system is a closed system and normal-
ly the loss of coolant should be very slight. A no-
ticeable drop in the coolant level could indicate leak-
age. If this occurs, we recommend you to have the
system checked as soon as possible.
If the level should drop below the “LOW” level on
the reserve tank, open the lid and add coolant. WARNING
l Do
not open the reserve tank cap while
the engine is hot. The coolant system is un-
der pressure and any hot coolant escap-
ing could cause severe burns. Anti-freeze
The

engine coolant contains an ethylene glycol anti-
corrosion agent. The cylinder head and water pump
housing are cast aluminium alloy, and periodic
changing of the engine coolant is necessary to pre-
vent corrosion of these parts.

Use only “BASF Glysantin Alu Protect
Premium/G30”.
It has excellent protection against corrosion and
rust formation of all metals including aluminium
and can avoid blockages in the radiator, heater, cyl-
inder head, engine block, etc.
Because of the necessity of this anti-corrosion
agent, the coolant must not be replaced with plain
water even in summer.
The anti-freeze must fill 50 % concentration cool-
ant in all temperature conditions. CAUTION
l
Do
not use alcohol or methanol anti-
freeze or any engine coolants mixed with
alcohol or methanol anti-freeze. The use
of an improper anti-freeze can cause cor-
rosion of the aluminium components.
l Do not top up with water only.
Water by itself reduces the rust-protec-
tive and anti-freeze qualities of the cool-
ant and has a lower boiling point. It can
also cause damage to the cooling system if
it should freeze. Do not use tapwater, as it
can cause corrosion and rust formation. During cold weather
If

the temperatures in your area drop below freez-
ing, there is the danger that the coolant in the en-
gine or radiator could freeze and cause severe dam-
age to the engine and/or radiator. Add a sufficient
amount of anti-freeze to the coolant to prevent it
from freezing.
The concentration should be checked before the
start of cold weather and anti-freeze added to the
system if necessary. Maintenance
