Engine overheating 8-4 For emergencies
8
If you drive your vehicle with a low battery charge after the engine has been started byusing jumper cables, the engine may misfire. This can cause the an
ti-lock braking system
warning light to blink on and off. This is onlydue to the low battery voltage. It is not a problem with the brak
e system. If this hap-
pens, fully charge the battery and ensure thecharging system is operating properly.
N00836500365
If the high coolant temperature warning lightilluminates during the engine is running, the engine may be overheating. If this happens: 1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place. Turn on the hazard warning flashers.2. With the engine st
ill running, carefully
raise the engine hood to vent the engine compartment.
3. Check that the cooling fan is running. If the fan is not turning, stop the engineimmediately and contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facil- ity of your choice for assistance. 4. If you see steam or spray coming from under the hood, turn off the engine. 5. If you do not see stea
m or spray coming
from under the hood, leave the engine onuntil the high coolant temperature warn- ing light goes off. After the high coolant temperature warning light has gone off,you can start driving again. If the high coolant temperature warning light stays on, turn off the engine.
6. When you do not see any more steam or spray, open the hood. Look for obviousleaks, such as a split radiator hose. Be careful as components will be hot. Any leak source must be repaired.7. If there is no obvious leak source, check the coolant level in the engine coolant reserve tank. If there is none, or if it is toolow, slowly add coolant. 8. If the engine coolant reserve tank needs coolant, you will probably also need to add coolant to the radiator. Do not loosen or remove the radiator cap until the enginehas cooled down. 9. Start the engine, and slowly add coolant, up to the bottom of the filler neck. Use plain water if you have to (and replace itwith the right coolant as soon as possible).
 Always wear protective clothing and gog- gles when working near the battery. Keep the battery out of the reach of chil- dren.
As your vehicle has anti-lock brakes Engine overheating
WA R N I N G
WA R N I N G To avoid personal injury
, keep hands, hair,
jewelry and clothes aw
ay from the cooling
fan. The cooling fan ca
n start at any time.
WA R N I N GBefore raising the engine hood, check to see if there is steam or spray coming fromunder the hood. Steam or spray comingfrom an overheated en
gine could seriously
scald you. Do not open the hood until there is nosteam or spray.
WA R N I N G Removing the radiat
or cap could scald
you with escaping hot water or steam. When checking the radiator level, coverthe cap with a cloth before trying to remove it. Turn it slowly counterclock- wise, without pressing down, to the firstnotch. The pressure in the system will then be let out. When the pressure is COM- PLETELY LET OUT, press down andkeep turning the cap counterclockwise until it comes off.

Mitsubishi Motors Genui

Engine Oil is recommended for optimum fueleconomy and cold weather starting. If Mitsubishi Motors Genuine 0W-20 Syn- thetic Engine Oil is not available, 5W-20grade oils displaying th
e ILSAC certification
can be used. However, Mitsubishi Motors Genuine 0W-20Synthetic Engine Oil s
hould be used at the
next oil change to maintain optimum fuel economy and cold weather starting. The oil filter should be replaced at the time or mileage specified in the “WARRANTY ANDMAINTENANCE MANUAL”. Only use high quality
replacement filters on
this vehicle. The manufacturer’s specifica-tions for Genuine Mitsubishi oil filters
require that the filter can withstand a pressure of 256 psi (1.8 MPa). A Genuine Mitsubishioil filter is the best replacement filter. Follow the installation instructions printed on the filter.

The engine coolant reserve tank (A) lets youquickly see when you need to add coolant. When the engine is cold
, the level of the cool-
ant in the reserve tank should be between theFULL and LOW marks. The radiator usually stays full so there is no reason to remove the radiator cap (B) except when you check thecoolant freeze point or replace the antifreeze coolant.
Mitsubishi Motors Genuine Coolant provides excellent protection
against corrosion and
rust formation on all me
tals, including alumi-
num, and prevents clogs in some parts of theengine. If you need to add coolant often, or if the level in the reserve
tank does not drop when
the engine cools, the
cooling system should
be pressure-tested for leaks. Take your vehi- cle to an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealeror a repair facility of
your choice for testing.

, non-amine, non-
nitrate and non-borate coolant with long life hybrid organic acid technologyCAUTION Do not use alcohol or
methanol antifreeze or
any engine coolants th
at contain them. Using
the wrong antifreeze can corrode aluminum parts.

The radiator cap must be
sealed tight to pre-
vent losing coolant, which may result in engine damage. Only use a Genuine Mitsubishi Parts radiator
cap, or an approved
equivalent.
 Do not overfill the reserve tank.  Your vehicle uses a special radiator cap that stays sealed and lets the coolant flow from the reserve tank back to the radiator when the engine cools down. If you needto change the cap, use the exact same kind.  Check the coolant freeze point in the radi- ator with the proper gauge, and only when it is safe. If you add antifreeze, the con- tents of the reserve tank must be protectedagainst freezing.  Keep the front of the radiator and con- denser clean. If the engine coolant temperature does not rise after the engine is warmed-up, take your vehicle to an au
thorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice to have the thermostat checked, and replaced if necessary.
N00937900413
The air cleaner filter
will get dirty and dusty
from use and not filter
properly. Replace it
with a new filter using the schedule in the“WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”. 1. Unclamp the cover. Open up the top of the cover and take out th
e air cleaner filter.
2. Replacing the air clea
ner filter and put the
cover back on in its original position.
 The required concentrati
on of anti-freeze dif-
fers depending on the
expected ambient tem-
perature.Above -31 °F (-35 °C) : 50 % concentration of anti-freeze Below -31 °F (-35 °C) : 60 % concentrationof anti-freeze You can check the concentration level with a gauge from an automotive supply store, oryour authorized Mitsubi
shi Motors dealer or
service station can check it for you. Do not use water to adjust the concentration of coolant. Do not top off the tank with plain water only. Water by itself boils at a lower temperature and does not stop rust or freezing. If thewater freezes, it will
damage your cooling
system. Do not use tapwater. It can cause corrosion and rust.
Radiator cap
CAUTION
WA R N I N G Wait for the engine to cool down before opening the radiator
cap. Otherwise hot
steam or boiling c
oolant could spray up
from the radiator and scald you.
Points to remember
Air cleaner filter
NOTE
 Genuine Mitsubishi Motors Parts are recom- mended when replacing th
e air cleaner filter.
 Make sure that the
connector is properly
reconnected.  After replacing the air cleaner filter, make sure that the hinges at the bottom of cover are firmly set.
