Sea water contains salt, which generallyaccelerates corrosion of both ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Wind born spray from thesea can distribute salt for a distance of up to20 km from the shore line with prevailing on-shore winds, although the effect is generallyworse within 2 km of the shore. Salt spraycovers roads, and may be passed to your vehi-cle as dust, or as salt spray after rain. For thisreason it is important to wash all the vehicleincluding the underside (not forgetting theplug-in hybrid EV system bay and plug-inhybrid EV system bay components). See sec-tion entitled “Engine compartment” for rec-ommended cleaning practices.Ensure you request a MITSUBISHIMOTORS Authorised Service Point to con-duct the scheduled Preventative Maintenancecorrosion inspection if you live within 20 kmof the sea.

WA R N I N GzDo not wash the vehicle while charging thetraction battery.Doing so could cause a fire or an electricshock.
zBefore washing the vehicle, make surethat the charging lid
and the inner lid are
completely closed.If the lid is open, the charging unit isexposed to water, resulting in a fire or anelectric shock.CAUTIONzWhen washing the under
side of your vehicle
or wheel, be careful not to injure your hands.zIf your vehicle has rain sensor wipers, placethe wiper switch lever in the “OFF” positionto deactivate the rain sensor before washingthe vehicle. Otherwise, the wipers will oper-ate in the presence of water spray on thewindscreen and may get damaged as a result.zRefrain from excessively using a car wash asits brushes may scratch the paint surface,causing it to lose its gloss. Scratches will beespecially visible on da
rker coloured vehi-
cles.zNever spray or splash
water on the electrical
components in the engine compartment.Doing so could have an adverse effect on theplug-in hybrid EV system startability.Exercise caution also when washing theunderbody; be careful not to spray water intothe engine compartment.WA R N I N G
zSome types of hot wa
ter washing equipment
apply high pressure and
heat to the vehicle.
They may cause heat distortion and damageto the vehicle resin parts and may result inflooding of the vehicle interior.Therefore;•Maintain a distance of approx. 70 cm ormore between the vehicle body and thewashing nozzle.•When washing around the door glass, holdthe nozzle at a distance of more than 70 cmand at right angles to the glass surface.
zAfter washing the vehicle, drive the vehicleslowly while lightly depressing the brakepedal several times in order to dry out thebrakes.Leaving the brakes wet could result inreduced braking performance. Also, there isa possibility that they could freeze up orbecome inoperative due
to rust, rendering the
vehicle unable to move.zUsing an automatic car wash, pay attentionto the following items, referring to the opera-tion manual or consulting a car wash opera-tor. If the following procedure is notfollowed, it could result in damage to yourvehicle.•The outside rear-view mirrors are retracted.•The antenna is removed.•The wiper arms are secured in place withtape.CAUTION

The salt and other chemicals spread on theroads in some areas in winter can have aharmful effect on the vehicle body. Youshould therefore wash the vehicle as often aspossible in accordance with our care-instruc-tions. It is recommended to have a preserva-tive applied and the underfloor protectionchecked before and after the cold weatherseason.After washing your vehicle, wipe off allwaterdrops from the rubber parts around thedoors to prevent the doors from freezing.

Wa x i n g t h e v e h i c l e w i l l h e l p p r e v e n t t h eadherence of dust and road chemicals to thepaintwork. Apply a wax solution after wash-ing the vehicle, or at least once every threemonths to assist di
splacing of water.
Do not wax your vehicle in direct sunlight.Yo u s h o u l d w a x a f t e r t h e s u r f a c e s h a v ecooled.For information on how to use wax refer tothe instruction manual of the wax.
E00901100066
The vehicle should only be polished if thepaintwork has become stained or lost its lus-tre. Do not polish parts with a mat coatingand the plastic bumpers. Doing so couldcause stains or damage the finish.
E00901300808
Use a sponge or chamois leather.If a car wax adheres on a grey or black roughsurface of the bumper, moulding or lamps,the surface becomes white. In such a case,wipe it off using lukewarm water and softcloth or chamois leather.
E00901400098
In order to prevent spots and corrosion ofchrome parts, wash with water, dry thor-oughly, and apply a special protective coat-ing. This should be done more frequently inwinter.
•If your vehicle is equi
pped with a roof rails,
consult a car wash opera
tor before using the
car washer.•If your vehicle has rain
sensor wipers, place
the wiper switch lever in the “OFF” posi-tion to deactivate the rain sensor.

MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE Coolanthas excellent protection against corrosion andrust formation of all metals including alumin-ium and can avoid blockages in the radiator,heater, cylinder head, engine block, etc.Because of the necessity of this anti-corrosionagent, the coolant must not be replaced withplain water even in summer. The requiredconcentration of anti-freeze differs dependingon the expected ambient temperature.Above -35 °C: 50 % concentration of anti-freezeBelow -35 °C: 60 % concentration of anti-freeze
If the temperatures in your area drop belowfreezing, there is the danger that the coolantin the engine, plug-in hybrid EV system orradiator could freeze and cause severe dam-age to the engine and/or radiator. Add a suffi-cient amount of anti-freeze to the coolant toprevent it from freezing.The concentration should be checked beforethe start of cold weather and anti-freezeadded to the system if necessary.
E01000700890
Open the washer fluid reservoir cap andcheck the level of washer fluid with the dip-stick.If the level is low, replenish the containerwith washer fluid.
To e n s u r e p r o p e r o p e r a t i o n o f t h e w a s h e r s a tlow temperatures, use a fluid containing ananti-freezing agent.
E01000801696
The fluid level must be between the “MAX”and “MIN” marks on the reservoir.
*: similar high quality ethylene glycol basednon-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrate andnon-borate coolant with long life hybridorganic acid technologyCAUTIONzDo not use alcohol or methanol anti-freeze orany engine coolants
mixed with alcohol or
methanol anti-freeze. The use of an improperanti-freeze can cause corrosion of the alu-minium components.zDo not use water to adjust the concentrationof coolant.zConcentrations exceeding 60 % will result ina reduction of both the anti-freeze and cool-ing performance thus adversely affecting theengine.

The fluid level is monitored by a float. Whenthe fluid level falls below the “MIN” mark,the brake fluid warning lamp lights up.The fluid level falls slightly with wear of thebrake pads, but this does not indicate anyabnormality.The fluid in the master cylinder should bechecked when doing other work under the
bonnet. The brake system should also bechecked for leaks at the same time.If the fluid level falls markedly in a shortlength of time, it indicates leaks from thebrake system.If this occurs, we recommend you to have thevehicle checked.Use brake fluid conforming to DOT3 orDOT4 from a sealed container. The brakefluid is hygroscopic. Too much moisture inthe brake fluid will adversely affect the brakesystem, reducing the performance.

The condition of the auxiliary battery is veryimportant for quick starting of the plug-inhybrid EV system and proper functioning ofthe vehicle’s electrical system. Regularinspection is especially important in coldweather. Be sure to have a MITSUBISHIMOTORS Authorized Service Point checkthe auxiliary battery.
