The engine coolant reserve tank (A) lets you quickly see when you need to add coolant. When the engine is cold, the level of the cool- ant in the reserve tank should be between the FULL and LOW marks. The radiator usuallystays full so there is no reason to remove the radiator cap (B) except when you check the
coolant freeze point or
replace the antifreeze
coolant.
Mitsubishi Motors Genui
ne Coolant provides
excellent protection against corrosion andrust formation on all metals, including alumi- num, and prevents clogs in some parts of engine.If you need to add coolant often, or if the level in the reserve tank does not drop when the engine cools, the cooling system shouldbe pressure-tested for le
aks. Take your vehi-
cle to an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of
your choice for testing.
Engine coolant To check the coolant level
*: Front of the vehicleTo add coolant Use “Mitsubishi Motors Genuine Super Long Life Coolant Premium” or equivalent
*.
* : similar high quality et
hylene glycol based
non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrate andnon-borate coolant with long life hybrid organic acid technology
CAUTION  Do not use alcohol or methanol antifreeze or any engine coolants th
at contain them. Using
the wrong antifreeze can corrode aluminum parts. The required concentrati
on of anti-freeze dif-
fers depending on the
expected ambient tem-
perature. Above -31 °F (-35 °C): 50 % concentration of anti-freezeBelow -31 °F (-35 °C): 60 % concentration of anti-freeze You can check the concentration level with agauge from an automotive supply store, or your authorized Mitsubi
shi Motors dealer or
service station can check it for you. Do not use water to adjust the concentration of coolant.

The radiator cap must be sealed tight to pre- vent losing coolant, which may result in engine damage. Only use a Mitsubishi Motors Genuine Parts radiator cap, or anapproved equivalent.  Do not overfill the reserve tank.
 Your vehicle uses a
special radiator cap
that stays sealed and lets the coolant flowfrom the reserve tank back to the radiator when the engine cools down. If you need to change the cap, use the exact samekind.  Check the coolant freeze point in the radi- ator with the proper gauge, and only whenit is safe. If you add antifreeze, the con- tents of the reserve ta
nk must be protected
against freezing.  Keep the front of the radiator and con- denser clean. If the engine coolan
t temperature does not
rise after the engine
is warmed-up, take
your vehicle to an au
thorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice to have the thermostat checked, and replaced if necessary.

The air cleaner filter
will get dirty and dusty
from use and not filter
properly. Replace it
with a new filter using the schedule in the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”.
1. For 2.4 L models, remove the two clips (A), then remove the Air duct (B). 2. For 2.4 L models,
while holding down the
tab (C), pull out the connector (D).
 Do not top off the tank with plain water only. Water by itself boils at
a lower temperature
and does not stop rust or freezing. If thewater freezes, it will
damage your cooling
system. Do not use ta
pwater. It can cause
corrosion and rust.
Radiator cap
WA R N I N G Wait for the engine to cool down before opening the radiator
cap. Otherwise hot
steam or boiling c
oolant could spray up
from the radiator and scald you.

The automatic transaxle should be maintainedand serviced by an au
thorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice to obtain the best performance and longest life. It is impor
tant that the transaxle
fluid is kept at the correct level. The fluid level should be checked when the bar graph for the engine coolant temperaturedisplay on the multi-information display shows the engine is wa
rmed up and the fluid
in the transaxle is heated to its normal work-ing temperature. Driving with the wrong fluid level will rapidly wear
out the transaxle and
destroy the fluid.
