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.
WARNING
l If
there
is none,
make
sure that the en-
gine has cooled down before removing
the radiator cap, because hot steam or boil-
ing water otherwise will gush from the fill-
er port and may scald you. 6. Add
coolant to the radiator and/or reserve
tank if
necessary (refer
to the “Maintenance”
section.) CAUTION
l
Do not add coolant
while
the engine is
hot. Suddenly adding cold coolant could
damage the engine. Wait for the engine to
cool down, then add coolant a little at a
time.
7. Examine the radiator hoses for coolant leak-
age and
the drive
belt for looseness or damage.
If there is anything wrong with the cooling
system or drive belt, we recommend you to
have it checked and repaired. Bleeding the fuel system
E00800700312
The fuel system should be bled to remove air as de-
scribed below if the fuel supply is exhausted during
travel.
Type 1
1. Loosen the
air plug
(A)
at the top of the fuel
filter. For emergencies

7. If the oil level is below the specified limit, re-
move the cap located on the cylinder head
cover and add enough oil to raise the level to
within the specified range. Do not overfill to
avoid engine damage. Be sure to use the speci-
fied engine oil and do not mix various types
of oil.
8. After adding oil, close the cap securely.
9. Confirm the oil level by repeating step 4 to 6.
Use only the recommended oils with an ACEA or
API classification as specified in this manual.
NOTE l Check or refill the oil according to the follow-
ing manner.
• When the oil level is checked in step 6above, check it on a low side of the dip-
stick because it is different in appearance
of oil level in the two sides of the dipstick.
• On vehicles without diesel particulate fil- ter (DPF), the oil level should be within
the range (A) to (B) on the dipstick.
• On vehicles with DPF, the oil level should be within the range (A) to (C) (oil
replacement indication mark) on the dip-
stick.
If the oil level is beyond the oil replace-
ment indication mark (C), replace the oil
as soon as possible.
Then, the oil should be refilled to the max-
imum level (B). • On vehicles with DPF, the engine oil will
increase due to a little fuel getting mixed
in the engine oil when the DPF regener-
ates to burn away the PM (particulate mat-
ter). However, it does not indicate a mal-
function.
l The engine oil will deteriorate rapidly if the
vehicle is subjected to severe conditions, re-
quiring earlier oil replacement. Please refer
to the maintenance schedule.
l For handling of used engine oils, refer to
page 05.
Selection of engine oil
Vehicles without diesel particulate filter (DPF) l
Select engine oil of
the
proper SAE viscosity
number according to the atmospheric temper-
ature.
l Use engine oil conforming to the following
classification:
• ACEA classification:“For service A1/ B1, A3/B3, A3/B4,
A5/B5” • API classification:
“For service CF-4”
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.
Vehicles with diesel particulate filter (DPF) l
Select engine oil of
the
proper SAE viscosity
number according to the atmospheric temper-
ature.
l Use engine oil conforming to the following
classification:
• ACEA classification:“For service C1, C2, C3 or C4”
• JASO classification: “For service DL-1”
If those classifications are not available, con-
tact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point. Maintenance
