MAX.MIN.
The engine oil used has a significant effecton the engine’s performance, service life and
startability. Be sure to use oil of the recom- mended quality and appropriate viscosity.
All engines consume a certain amount of oil during normal operation. Therefore, it is im-portant to check the oil level at regular inter-
valk thes or before starting a long trip. 1. Park the car on a horizontal surface.
2. Switch off the engine.
3. Wait a few minutes.
4. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a
clean cloth.
5. Reinsert the dipstick as far as it goes.
6. Remove the dipstick and read the oil lev- el, which should always be within therange indicated.
7. If the oil level is below the specified
limit, remove the cap located on the cyl- inder 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 specified en-
gine 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.CAUTIONl In diesel-powered vehicles, when burning
away and removing soot accumulated in the
DPF, fuel can mix with the engine oil and an increase in the engine oil level may occur. This does not indicate an abnormality.
However, if the engine oil level is at or over the “X” mark (B) on the engine oil dipstick
(A), change the engine oil.NOTEl 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 information on how to dispose of used
engine oil, refer to page 2-05.
Recommended engine oil vis-
cosity
Petrol-powered vehicles
l Select engine oil of the proper SAE vis-
cosity number according to the atmos- pheric temperature.
SAE 0W-20, 0W-30, 5W-30 and 5W-40 engine oils can only be used if they meet
ACEA A3/B3, A3/B4 or A5/B5 and API
SM (or higher) specifications.

lUse engine oil conforming to the follow-
ing classification: • API classification: “For service SM”
or higher
• ILSAC certificated oil
• ACEA classification: “For service A1/B1, A3/B3 , A3/B4 or
A5/B5”NOTEl 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 as-
sembly.

l Select engine oil of the proper SAE vis-
cosity number according to the atmos-pheric temperature.
l Use engine oil conforming to the follow-
ing classification: • ACEA classification: “For service C1, C2, C3 or C4”
• JASO classification: “For service DL-1”

If those classifications are not available,
contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point.NOTEl 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 as-

E01000503150
To check the coolant level
A transparent coolant reserve tank (A) is lo-cated in the engine compartment.
The coolant level in this tank should be kept
between the “LOW” and “FULL” marks when measured while the engine is cold.
To add coolant
The cooling system is a closed system andnormally the loss of coolant should be very
slight. A noticeable drop in the coolant level
could indicate leakage. If this occurs, we rec- ommend 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, remove the radiator cap (B) and add coolant until the level reaches the filler neck.

CAUTIONlA temporary spare tyre can be fitted tempo-
rarily in place of a tyre that has been re-
moved during the tyre rotation. However, it must not be included in the regular tyre rota-
tion sequence.
l If the tyres have arrows (A) indicating the
correct direction of rotation, swap the front
and rear tyres on the left-hand side of the ve- hicle and the front and rear tyres on the right-hand side of the vehicle separately. Keep each tyre on its original side of the ve-
hicle. When fitting the tyres, make sure the
arrows point in the direction in which the wheels will turn when the vehicle moves forward. Any tyre whose arrow points in the
wrong direction will not perform to its full potential.Front
CAUTIONl Avoid the combined use of different types of
tyres.
Using different types of tyres can affect ve-
hicle performance and safety.Snow tyres
E01002000754
The use of snow tyres is recommended for
driving on snow and ice. To preserve driving stability, mount snow tyres of the same size and tread pattern on all 4 wheels.
A snow tyre that is worn down more than
50% is no longer appropriate to use.
Snow tyres which do not meet specifications must not be used.
CAUTIONl Observe permissible maximum speed for
your snow tyres and the legal speed limit.NOTEl The laws and regulations concerning snow
tyres (driving speed, required use, type, etc.)
vary. Find out and follow the laws and regu- lations in the area you intend to drive.
l If flange nuts are used on your vehicle,
change to tapered nuts when steel wheels are used.Tyre chains
E01002101824
If tyre chains have to be used, ensure that
they are fitted only on the drive wheels
(front) in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
On 4WD vehicles in which the driving power
is distributed preferentially to the front wheels, ensure that the tyre chains are fitted on the front.
Use only tyre chains which are designed for use with the tyres mounted on the vehicle: use of the incorrect size or type of chain
could result in damage to the vehicle body.
Contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point before putting on tyre chains. The max. chain height is as follows.Tyre sizeWheel sizeMax. chain
height [mm]215/65R1616 x 6 1/2 J9 mm215/60R1717 x 6 1/2 j
When driving with tyre chains on the tyres,
do not drive faster than 50 km/h (30 mph) .
When you reach roads that are not covered in snow, immediately remove the tyre chains.

Fuel, engine coolant, oil and ex- haust gas leakage
Look under the body of your vehicle to check
for fuel, engine coolant, oil and exhaust gas
leaks.
WARNINGl If you see a suspicious fuel leak or if you
smell fuel, do not operate the vehicle; call
your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point for assistance.
Exterior and interior lamp op-
eration
Operate the combination lamp switch to
check that all lamps are functioning properly.
If the lamps do not illuminate, the probable cause is a blown fuse or defective lamp bulb.
Check the fuses first. If there is no blown
fuse, check the lamp bulbs.
For information regarding the inspection and
replacement of the fuses and the lamp bulbs, refer to “Fuses” on page 10-19 and “Re-
placement of lamp bulbs” on page 10-25.
If the fuses and bulbs are all OK, we recom-
mend you to have your vehicle checked and
repaired.
Meter, gauge and indicator/warning lamps operation
Start the engine and check the operation of all instruments, gauges and indication andwarning lamps.
If there is anything wrong, we recommend you to have your vehicle inspected.
Hinges and latches lubrication
Check all latches and hinges, and, if necessa- ry, have them lubricated.
For cold and snowy weather
E01002800361
Ventilation slots
The ventilation slots in front of the wind-
screen should be kept clear of leaves or brushed clear after heavy snowfall, so that
the operation of the heating and ventilation
systems will not be impaired.

CAUTIONlBulbs are extremely hot immediately after
being turned off.
When replacing a bulb, wait for it to cool
sufficiently before touching it. You could otherwise be burnt.NOTEl If you are unsure of how to carry out the
work as required, we recommend you to consult 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 gathers inside the lamp, we recommend you to havethe lamp checked.Bulb capacity

CAUTIONl Handle halogen lamp bulbs with care. The
gas inside halogen lamp bulbs is highly pres- surized, 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 headlamps are op-
erated.
If the glass surface is dirty, it must be cleaned with alcohol, paint thinner, etc., and
refit it after drying it thoroughly.
