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. Engine coolant
E01000501202
To check the coolant level
A translucent coolant reserve
tank
is located in the
engine compartment.
The coolant level in this tank should be kept be-
tween the “LOW” and “FULL” marks when meas-
ured while the engine is cold. 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.
Also, if the reserve tank is completely empty, re-
move the radiator cap and add coolant until the lev-
el 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 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

Fuses
E01003000849
Fuse block location E01007600032
To prevent damage to the electrical system due to
shortcircuiting or overloading, each individual
cir-
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 in front of the driver’s seat at the position
shown in the illustration. Engine compartment
In the engine compartment, the

fuse block is loca-
ted as shown in the illustration. 1- Push the knob.
2- Remove the cover.
Fuse load capacity E01007700033
The fuse capacity and

the name of the electrical sys-
tems protected by
the fuses

are indicated on the in-
side of the fuse lid located at the driver’s leg area
and on the inside of the fuse block cover for fuses
located in the engine compartment.
Passenger compartment fuse location table E01007900501
NOTE l Spare
fuses are contained in

the fuse lid. Al-
ways use a fuse of the same capacity for re-
placement.

4. Referring to the fuse
load capacity table,
check the fuse pertaining to the problem. C- Fuse is OK
D- Blown fuse
NOTE l If
any system does not

function but the fuse
corresponding to that system is normal, there
may be a fault in the system elsewhere. We
recommend you to have your vehicle checked. 5. Insert
a new fuse of the same capacity by us-
ing the fuse puller

into the same place at the
fuse block. CAUTION
l
If the newly inserted
fuse
blows again af-
ter a short time, we recommend you to
have the electrical system checked to find
the cause and rectify it.
l Never use a fuse with a capacity larger
than that specified or any substitute, such
as wire, foil, etc.; doing so will cause the
circuit wiring to heat up and could cause
a fire. Replacement of lamp bulbs
E01003100710
Before replacing a bulb, ensure

the lamp is off. Do
not touch the glass part of the new bulb with your
bare fingers; the skin oil left on the glass will evap-
orate when the bulb gets hot and the vapour will
condense on the reflector and dim the surface. CAUTION
l
Bulbs are extremely hot
immediately
af-
ter being turned off.
When replacing a bulb, wait for it to cool
sufficiently before touching it. You could
otherwise be burnt.
NOTE l If
you are unsure of

how to carry out the
work as required, we recommend you to con-
sult a specialist.
l Be careful not to scratch the vehicle body
when removing a lamp or lens.
l When it rains or when the vehicle has been
washed, the inside of the lens sometimes be-
comes foggy. This is the same phenomenon
as when window glass mists up on a humid
day, and does not indicate a functional prob-
lem. When the lamp is switched on, the heat
will remove the fog. However, if water gath-
ers inside the lamp, we recommend you to
have the lamp checked.
Bulb capacity E01003200085
When replacing a bulb, use a new bulb with the
same wattage and colour. Maintenance

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. Maintenance
