7. Start the engine in the vehicle which hasthe booster battery, let the engine idle afew minutes, then start the Plug-in HybridEV system in your vehicle.8. Check that the ready indicator illuminates.If the ready indicator does not illuminate,contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORSAuthorised Service Point.9. When the ready indicator illuminates, dis-connect the jumper cables in the reverseorder of connection.
10. Check that the select position can be
shifted to all positions other than the “P”(PARK) position.
11. Have the auxiliary battery inspected by
your nearest MITSUBISHI MOTORSAuthorised Service Point.

When the engine is overheating, the informa-tion screen in the multi information displaywill be interrupted and the engine coolanttemperature warning display will appear.If this occurs, take the following correctivemeasures:1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
2. Check whether steam is coming from theengine compartment.[If steam does not come from the enginecompartment]Wi t h t h e Pl ug - i n H yb r i d E V s ys t em s t i l lstarting, raise the bonnet to ventilate theengine compartment.[If steam is coming from the engine com-partment]Stop the Plug-in Hybrid EV system, andwhen the steam stops, raise the bonnet toventilate the engine compartment. Restartthe Plug-in Hybrid EV system.
WA R N I N GzWhen connecting the jumper cables, donot connect the positive (+) cable to thenegative (-) terminal. Otherwise sparksmight cause explosion of the battery.CAUTIONzUse care not to get the jumper cable caughtin the cooling fan or other rotating part in theengine compartment.NOTE
zIf the jumper cable is
connected to the any
position other than a
ppointed position, it
may could cause damage to the vehicle.
CAUTIONzYo u r v e h i c l e i s e q u i p p e d w i t h a n e x c l u s i v eauxiliary battery. Even if the battery type isthe same, the battery may not be correctlyinstalled in your vehicle. When replacing theauxiliary battery, request a MITSUBISHIMOTORS Authorised Service Point to do so.
Engine overheating
WA R N I N GzDo not open the bonnet while steam iscoming from the engine compartment. Itcould cause steam or hot water to spurtout, causing burns. Hot water could spurtout even when there is no steam comingout, and some parts will be very hot. Bevery careful when opening the bonnet.zBe careful of hot steam, which could beblowing off the reserve tank cap.zDo not attempt to remove the radiator capwhile the engine is hot.

5. Add coolant to the radiator and/or reservetank if necessary. (Refer to the “Mainte-nance” section.)6. Examine the radiator hoses for coolantleakage and the drive belt for looseness ordamage.If there is anything wrong with the cool-ing system or drive belt, we recommendyou to have it checked and repaired.

The tools are stowed on the right side of theluggage area.The jack is stowed in the luggage floor box.The storage location of the tools and jackshould be remembered in case of an emer-gency.
WA R N I N GzMake sure that the engine and the Plug-inHybrid EV system
have cooled down
before removing the
radiator cap (D) and
the reserve tank cap (E), because hotsteam or boiling water otherwise will gushfrom the filler port and may scald you.CAUTIONzDo not add coolant while the engine is hot.Suddenly adding cold
coolant could damage
the engine. Wait for the engine to cool down,then add coolant a little at a time.

Engine coolant/Plug-in hybrid EV system coolant11-6 Maintenance

E01000503105
A transparent engine coolant reserve tank (A)and EV cooling system reserve tank (B) islocated in the engine compartment.The coolant level in this tank should be keptbetween the “LOW” and “FULL” markswhen measured while the engine and theplug-in hybrid EV system are cold.
The cooling system is a closed system andnormally the loss of coolant should be veryslight. A noticeable drop in the coolant levelcould indicate leakage. If this occurs, we rec-ommend you to have the system checked assoon as possible.
If the level should drop below the “LOW”level on the reserve tank, open the lid and addcoolant.Also, if the reserve tank is completely empty,remove the radiator cap (C) or the reservetank cap (D) and add coolant until the levelreaches the filler neck.The engine coolant and the plug-in hybrid EVsystem coolant contains an ethylene glycolanti-corrosion agent. Some parts of theengine and the plug-in hybrid EV system arecast aluminium alloy, and periodic changingof the engine coolant and the plug-in hybridEV system coolant are necessary to preventcorrosion of these parts.
NOTE
zUse of additives is
not recommended since
they may reduce the effectiveness of addi-tives already included in the engine oil. Itmay result in failure of the mechanicalassembly.

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.

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.
