Support the bonnet by inserting the supportbar in its slot.CAUTIONl Note that the support bar may disengage the
bonnet if the open bonnet is lifted by astrong wind.
l Always insert the support bar into the hole
provided specifically for this purpose. Sup- porting the bonnet at any other location
could result in the support bar slipping out
and lead to an accident.
To close
Unlatch the support bar and clip it in its hold-
er.
Slowly lower the bonnet to a position about
20 cm above the closed position, then let it drop.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.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.Engine oil

The engine oil used has a significant effect on the engine’s performance, service life and
startability. Be sure to use oil of the recom- mended quality and appropriate viscosity.
All engines consume a certain amount of oil during normal operation. Therefore, it is im-portant to check the oil level at regular inter-
vals or before starting a long trip. 1. Park the car on a horizontal surface.
2. Switch off the engine.
3. Wait a few minutes.

NOTElUse 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.
Vehicles with diesel particulate
filter (DPF)
l Select engine oil of the proper SAE vis-
cosity number according to the atmos- pheric temperature.
l Use 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
E01000502153
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.
*: Front of the vehicle
To add coolant
The cooling system is a closed system and
normally 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. The cylinder head and water pump housing are cast aluminium
alloy, and periodic changing of the engine coolant is necessary to prevent corrosion of
these parts.
Use “ MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE
SUPER LONG LIFE COOLANT” or equiva- lent.

7.Remove dipstick and read the automatic
transmission fluid level.
The fluid level should always be be-
tween the two marks on the dipstick.WARNINGl Do not spill the fluid onto a hot exhaust
manifold during topping up or inspection, or a fire may occur.
Fluid type
Use only “ MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENU-
INE ATF SP III” transmission fluid to ensure
optimum transmission performance.
CAUTIONl For the automatic transmission fluid, use on-
ly the MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE
ATF SP III.
Use of a different fluid could damage the transmission.Washer fluid
E01000700672
The windscreen washer fluid reservoir is inthe engine compartment.
Check the washer fluid level at regular inter- vals and add washer fluid to reservoir if nec-
essary.
NOTEl The washer fluid container serves the wind-
screen and headlamps (if so equipped).During cold weather
To ensure proper operation of the washers at
low temperatures, use a fluid containing ananti-freezing agent.
Brake fluid
E01000900935
To check the fluid level
Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir.
The brake fluid level must be between the “MAX” and “MIN” marks on the reservoir.
The brake fluid level is monitored by a float.
When the brake fluid level falls below the “MIN” mark, the brake fluid warning lamp
lights up.
