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.

The fusible links will melt to prevent a fire ifa large current attempts
to flow through cer-
tain electrical systems. In case of a melted fusible link, see your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice for inspection
and replacement. For the fusible links, pl
ease refer to “Fuse
load capacities” on page 9-22.

To prevent damage to the electrical systemfrom short-circuiting or overloading, each
individual circuit is e
quipped with a fuse. The
fuse blocks are locate
d in the passenger com-
partment and in the engine compartment. The fuse block in the passenger compartment is located in front of the driver’s seat at the position shown in
the illustration.
In the engine compartment, the fuse block is located as shown in
the illustration.
While pressing the tab (A or B), pull up the cover.

This fuse list shows the names of the electri- cal systems and their fuse capacities. There are spare fuses in the fuse block in theengine compartment. Al
ways replace a blown
fuse with one of the same capacity as the original.

1. Before replacing a fuse, always turn off the electrical item concerned to the fuseand turn the ignition switch to the “OFF” position or put the operation mode in OFF.2. There is a fuse remover (A) in the engine compartment fuse block.
3. Clamp it on the fuse you wish to remove, and pull the fuse straight out from the fuseblock. 4. Use the fuse location diagrams and the matching tables, to check the fuse that is related to the problem. If the fuse is notblown, something else must be causing the problem. Have the system inspected by your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair fa
cility of your choice.
5. Insert a new fuse of the same capacity securely into the appropriate slot.

cause the circuit wiring
to heat up and could cause a fire. If the replacement fuse blows again after a short time, have the electrical system checked by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair fa
cility of your choice to
find and correct the cause.
