CAUTIONlNote that the support bar may disengage the
bonnet if the open bonnet is lifted by astrong wind.
l After inserting the support bar into the slot,
make sure the bar supports the bonnet se-
curely from falling down on to your head or body.
To close
1. Unlatch the support bar and clip it in its
holder.
2. Slowly lower the bonnet to a position
about 20 cm above the closed position,
then let it drop.
3. Make sure the bonnet is securely locked
by softly lifting the centre of the bonnet.
CAUTIONl Be careful that hands or fingers are not trap-
ped when closing the bonnet.
l Before driving, make sure that the bonnet is
securely locked. An incompletely locked bonnet can suddenly open while driving.
This can be extremely dangerous.NOTEl If this does not close the bonnet, release it
from a slightly higher position.
l Do not press down the bonnet hard with a
hand as it may damage the bonnet.NOTEl For vehicles equipped with the security
alarm system, if you drive with the bonnetleft open, warning display is displayed on
the information screen in the multi-informa- tion display.Type 1Type 2

lUse engine oil conforming to the follow-
ing classification: • ACEA classification: “For service C1, C2, C3 or C4”
• JASO classification: “For service DL-1”
If those classifications are not available,
contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point.NOTEl Use of additives is not recommended since
they may reduce the effectiveness of addi-
tives already included in the engine oil. It may result in failure of the mechanical as-
sembly.Engine coolant
E01000503437
To check the coolant level
A transparent coolant reserve tank (A) is lo-cated in the engine compartment.
The coolant level in this tank should be kept
between the “LOW” and “FULL” marks when measured while the engine is cold.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 (B) and add coolant until the level reaches the filler neck.
WARNINGl Do not open the radiator cap (B) while the
engine is hot. The coolant system is under
pressure and any hot coolant escaping
could cause severe burns.
Anti-freeze
The engine coolant contains an ethylene gly-
col anti-corrosion agent. Some parts of the engine are cast aluminium alloy, and periodic
changing of the engine coolant is necessary to prevent corrosion of these parts.

NOTElThe 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/Clutch fluid*
E01000800631
The brake fluid and the clutch fluid share thereservoir tank.
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.
Fluid type
Use brake fluid conforming to DOT3 or DOT4 from a sealed container. The brake
fluid is hygroscopic. Too much moisture in the brake fluid will adversely affect the brake
system, reducing the performance.
CAUTIONl Take care in handling brake fluid as it is
harmful to the eyes, may irritate your skin
and also damage painted surfaces.CAUTIONl Use only the specified brake fluid.
Do not mix or add different brands of brake fluid to prevent chemical reactions.
Do not let any petroleum-based fluid touch, mix with, or get into the brake fluid.
This will damage the seals.
l Keep the reservoir tank cap closed to pre-
vent the brake fluid from deteriorating ex- cept maintenance.
l Clean the filler cap before removing and
close the cap securely after maintenance.Battery
E01001203574
The condition of the battery is very important
for quick starting and to keep the vehicle’s electrical system working properly. Regularinspection and care are especially importantin cold weather.
