2014 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER PHEV warning light

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 (C) or the reservetank cap (D) and add coolant until the level reaches the filler neck.
WARNINGl Do not open the radiator cap (C) and the
reserve tank cap (D) while the engine andthe plug-in hybrid EV system are hot. The
coolant system is under pressure and any hot coolant escaping could cause severe burns.Anti-freeze
The engine coolant and the plug-in hybrid
EV system coolant contains an ethylene gly-col anti-corrosion agent. Some parts of the
engine and the plug-in hybrid EV system are
cast aluminium alloy, and periodic changing of the engine coolant and the plug-in hybridEV system coolant are necessary to prevent
corrosion of these parts.

Use “ MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE
SUPER LONG LIFE COOLANT PREMI-
UM” or equivalent*.
*:similar high quality ethylene glycol
based non-silicate, non-amine, non-ni-
trate and non-borate coolant with long life hybrid organic acid technology
MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE Coolant
has excellent protection against corrosion and
rust formation of all metals including alumi-
nium and can avoid blockages in the radiator, heater, cylinder head, engine block, etc.
Because of the necessity of this anti-corro-
sion agent, the coolant must not be replaced with plain water even in summer. The re-
quired concentration of anti-freeze differs de- pending on the expected ambient tempera-
ture.

Above -35 °C: 50 % concentration of anti-
freeze
Below -35 °C: 60 % concentration of anti- freezeCAUTIONl Do not use alcohol or methanol anti-freeze
or any engine coolants mixed with alcohol
or methanol anti-freeze. The use of an im- proper anti-freeze can cause corrosion of thealuminium components.
l Do not use water to adjust the concentration
of coolant.
l Concentrations exceeding 60 % will result in
a reduction of both the anti-freeze and cool-
ing performance thus adversely affecting the engine.
l Do not top up with water only.
Water by itself reduces the rust-protective
and anti-freeze qualities of the coolant and has a lower boiling point. It can also causedamage 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
freezing, there is the danger that the coolant
in the engine, plug-in hybrid EV system or radiator could freeze and cause severe dam-age to the engine and/or radiator. Add a suffi-
cient amount of anti-freeze to the coolant to prevent it from freezing.

The concentration should be checked beforethe start of cold weather and anti-freeze add-
ed to the system if necessary.Washer fluid
E01000700890
Open the washer fluid reservoir cap andcheck the level of washer fluid with the dip- stick.
If the level is low, replenish the container with washer fluid.
NOTEl The washer fluid container serves the wind-
screen, rear window and headlamps (if soequipped).During cold weather
To ensure proper operation of the washers at
low temperatures, use a fluid containing ananti-freezing agent.
Brake fluid
E01000801696
To check the fluid level
The fluid level must be between the “MAX”
and “MIN” marks on the reservoir.The fluid level is monitored by a float. When
the fluid level falls below the “MIN” mark, the brake fluid warning lamp lights up.The fluid level falls slightly with wear of the brake pads, but this does not indicate any ab-
normality.

The fluid in the master cylinder should be checked when doing other work under thebonnet. The brake system should also be checked for leakage at the same time.
If the fluid level falls markedly in a short length of time, it indicates leaks from the
brake system.
If this occurs, we recommend you to have the
vehicle checked.
