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.

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.

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.

Look under the body of your vehicle to checkfor fuel, engine coolant, oil and exhaust gasleaks.Operate the combination lamp switch tocheck that all lamps are functioning properly.If the lamps do not illuminate, the probablecause is a blown fuse or defective lamp bulb.Check the fuses first. If there is no blownfuse, check the lamp bulbs.For information regarding the inspection andreplacement of the fuses and the bulbs, referto “Fuses” on page 11-15 and “Replacementof lamp bulbs” on page 11-21.
NOTE
zDo not allow the wiper arm to fall onto thewindows glass; it could damage the glass.
NOTE
zIf a retainer is not supplied with the newwiper blade, use the retainer from the oldblade.
