While the motor is cold, the coolant level
must
always be between the “F (FULL)” and
the “L (LOW)” marks.

the electric motor unit room lid and the
luggage floor carpet by following the remov-
al procedures in reverse.
Hot water heater fluid
A transparent reserve tank (A) is located in the bon-
net room.
The coolant level in this tank should be kept be-
tween the “FULL” and “LOW” marks when meas-
ured while the electric motor 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 reserve tank cap (E) and
add coolant. WARNING
l Do
not open the reserve tank cap (E)
while it is hot. The coolant system is un-
der pressure and any hot coolant escap-
ing could cause severe burns.
Anti-freeze
The
coolant contains an ethylene glycol anti-corro-
sion agent. Some parts of the electric motor are
cast aluminium alloy, and periodic changing of the
electric motor coolant is necessary to prevent corro-
sion of these parts.
Use “MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE SUPER
LONG LIFE COOLANT PREMIUM” or equiva-
lent*.
*: similar high quality ethylene glycol based non-
silicate, non-amine, non-nitrate and non-borate cool-
ant with long life hybrid organic acid technology
MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE Coolant has
excellent protection against corrosion and rust for-
mation of all metals including aluminium and can
avoid blockages in the radiator, heater, 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.
Above -35 °C: 50 % concentration of anti-freeze
Below -35 °C: 60 % concentration of anti-freeze 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 use water to adjust the concentra-
tion of coolant.
l Concentrations exceeding 60 % will re-
sult in a reduction of both the anti-freeze
and cooling performance.
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 elec-
tric motor, on board charger/DC-DC converter or
radiator could freeze and cause severe damage to
the electric motor, on board charger/DC-DC con-
verter and/or radiator. Add a sufficient amount of
anti-freeze to the coolant to prevent it from freezing. Vehicle care and Maintenance

1. Before
replacing a fuse, always turn off the
electrical circuit concerned and turn the elec-
tric motor switch to the “LOCK” position.
2. Remove the fuse puller (A) from the inside of the fuse cover in the passenger compart-
ment. 3. Referring
to the fuse load capacity table,
check the fuse pertaining to the problem. Vehicle care and Maintenance
