or other deposits on the glass, the motor may
burn out even if the wiper switch is turned to
OFF. If obstruction occurs, park your vehicle
in a safe place, turn off the ignition, and
clean the deposits from the glass so that the
wipers operate smoothly.

l
Before using
the wipers in cold weather,
check that the wiper blades are not frozen on-
to the glass. The motor may burn out if the
wipers are used with the blades frozen onto
the glass.
l Avoid using the washer continuously for
more than 20 seconds. Do not operate the
washer when the fluid reservoir is empty.
Otherwise, the motor may burn out.
l Periodically check the level of washer fluid
in the reservoir and refill if required.
During cold weather, add a recommended
washer solution that will not freeze in the
washer reservoir. Failure to do so could re-
sult in loss of washer function and frost dam-
age to the system components. Wiper de-icer switch*

icer, when the rear window demister switch

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 se-
vere 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 (mini-
mum) °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.
During cold weather
The concentration should

be checked before the
start of cold weather and anti-freeze added to the
system if necessary to prevent damage to engine
and radiator due to freezing. Washer fluid
E01000700656
Windscreen washer fluid
The windscreen washer

fluid reservoir is in the en-
gine compartment.
Check the washer fluid level at regular intervals
and add washer fluid to reservoir if necessary. NOTE
l The
washer fluid

container serves the wind-
screen and headlamps (if so equipped). Maintenance

1. Remove the rear
window washer fluid reser-
voir filler port lid (A) on the backdoor. 2. Pull out the rear window washer fluid reser-
voir filler

port (B) and check the washer flu-
id level.
If the level is low, replenish the container
with washer fluid. During cold weather
E01006600019
To ensure proper

operation of the washers at low
temperatures, use a fluid containing an anti-freez-
ing agent. Brake fluid
E01000900847
To check the fluid level
The brake fluid
level is monitored by a float. When
the brake fluid level falls below the “MIN” mark,
the brake fluid warning lamp lights up.

The brake fluid level must be between the “MAX”
and “MIN” marks on the reservoir.
