2016 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER PHEV oil level

When the operation mode of the power
switch is put in ON, if the brake fluid is low,
this warning is displayed.
The warning lamp in the instrument cluster also illuminates.CAUTIONl If this warning stays illuminated and does
not go out while driving, there is a danger of ineffective braking. In this case, immediate-
ly park your vehicle in a safe place and we recommend you to have it checked.
l If the brake warning display is displayed and
the brake warning lamp and the ABS warn- ing lamp are illuminated at the same time,
the braking force distribution function will
not operate, so the vehicle may be destabi- lised during sudden braking. Avoid sudden
braking and high-speed driving, stop the ve-
hicle in a safe place, and we recommend you to have it checked.
l The vehicle should be brought to a halt in
the following manner when brake perform-
ance has deteriorated.
• Depress the brake pedal harder than usual.
Even if the brake pedal moves down to
the very end of its possible stroke, keep it pressed down hard.
• Should the brakes fail, use regenerative
brake to reduce your speed and carefully
pull the parking brake lever.
Depress the brake pedal to operate the
stop lamp to alert the vehicles behind you.Oil pressure warning display
E00524901309
If the engine oil pressure drops while the
Plug-in Hybrid EV System is operating, thewarning display is displayed on the informa-
tion screen in the multi information display.
CAUTIONl If the vehicle is driven while the engine oil
is low, or the oil level is normal but the warning is displayed, the engine may burn
out and be damaged.
l If the warning is displayed while the Plug-in
Hybrid EV System is operating, immediately
park your vehicle in a safe place and check
the engine oil level.
l If the warning is displayed while the engine
oil level is normal, have it inspected.Combination headlamps

NOTElBecause the rear-view camera has a special
lens, the lines on the ground between park-
ing spaces may not look parallel on the screen.
l In the following situations, the screen indi-
cation may be difficult to see. There is no abnormality.
• Low light (nighttime)
• When the light of the sun or the light from
a vehicle’s headlamps shines directly into the lens
l If the camera is hot and is then cooled by
rain or a car wash, the lens can mist up. This phenomenon does not indicate a malfunc-
tion.
l It is not possible to fully see obstacles when
the lens is dirty. If the lens becomes conta-
minated by water droplets, snow, mud or oil, wipe off the contamination, taking care not
to scratch the lens.
l Please observe the following cautions. Ig-
noring them could lead to a camera malfunc-tion.
• Do not subject the camera to physical
shock.
• Do not apply wax to the camera.

doing so could damage it.
l For vehicles equipped with the security
alarm system, if you drive with the bonnet left open, a warning display is displayed on the information screen in the multi informa-tion display.Engine oil
E01000404462
To check and refill 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 vehicle on a horizontal surface.
2. Switch off the engine.
3. Wait a few minutes.
4. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a
clean cloth.
5. Reinsert the dipstick as far as it goes.
6. Remove the dipstick and read the oil lev-
el, which should always be within the
range indicated.
7. If the oil level is below the specified
limit, remove the cap located on the cyl-inder head cover and add enough oil to
raise the level to within the specified
range. Do not overfill to avoid engine
damage. Be sure to use the specified en- gine oil and do not mix various types of
oil.
8. After adding oil, close the cap securely.
9. Confirm the oil level by repeating step 4
to 6.NOTEl The engine oil will deteriorate rapidly if the
vehicle is subjected to severe conditions, re-
quiring earlier oil replacement.
Please refer to the maintenance schedule.
l For information on how to dispose of used
engine oil, refer to page 2-17.
Engine oil

Recommended engine oil vis-cosity
l Select engine oil of the proper SAE vis-
cosity number according to the atmos-pheric temperature.
SAE 0W-20, 0W-30, 5W-30, and 5W-40
engine oils can only be used if they meet ACEA A3/B3, A3/B4 or A5/B5 and API
SM (or higher) specifications.
l Use engine oil conforming to the follow-
ing classification: • API classification: “For service SM”
or higher
• ILSAC certificated oil
• ACEA classification: “For service A1/B1, A3/B3 , A3/B4 or
A5/B5”
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/Plug-in
hybrid EV system coolant E01000503466
To check the coolant level
A transparent engine coolant reserve tank (A)
and EV cooling system reserve tank (B) 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 and the
plug-in hybrid EV system are cold.
Engine coolant/Plug-in hybrid EV system coolant
11-06OGGE16E1Maintenance11 FULLLOW FULL
LOW

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 (C) or the reservetank cap (D) and add coolant until the level reaches the filler neck.
WARNINGl Do not open the radiator cap (C) and the
reserve tank cap (D) while the engine andthe plug-in hybrid EV system are hot. The
coolant system is under pressure and any hot coolant escaping could cause severe burns.Anti-freeze
The engine coolant and the plug-in hybrid
EV system coolant contains an ethylene gly-col anti-corrosion agent. Some parts of the
engine and the plug-in hybrid EV system are
cast aluminium alloy, and periodic changing of the engine coolant and the plug-in hybridEV system coolant are necessary to prevent
corrosion of these parts.

Use “ MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE
SUPER LONG LIFE COOLANT PREMI-
UM” or equivalent *
.
MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE Coolant
has excellent protection against corrosion and rust formation of all metals including alumi-
nium and can avoid blockages in the radiator,
heater, cylinder head, engine block, etc.
Because of the necessity of this anti-corro- sion agent, the coolant must not be replaced
with plain water even in summer. The re-
quired concentration of anti-freeze differs de- pending on the expected ambient tempera-
ture.

Above -35 °C: 50 % concentration of anti- freeze
* similar high quality ethylene glycol based
non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrate andnon-borate coolant with long life hybrid
organic acid technologyBelow -35 °C: 60 % concentration of anti-
freezeCAUTIONl Do not use alcohol or methanol anti-freeze
or any engine coolants mixed with alcohol or methanol anti-freeze. The use of an im-
proper anti-freeze can cause corrosion of the aluminium components.
l Do not use water to adjust the concentration
of coolant.
l Concentrations exceeding 60 % will result in
a reduction of both the anti-freeze and cool-
ing performance thus adversely affecting the engine.
l Do not top up with water only.
Water by itself reduces the rust-protective
and anti-freeze qualities of the coolant and has a lower boiling point. It can also causedamage to the cooling system if it should freeze. Do not use tapwater, as it can causecorrosion and rust formation.
During cold weather
If the temperatures in your area drop below
freezing, there is the danger that the coolant
in the engine, plug-in hybrid EV system or radiator could freeze and cause severe dam-age to the engine and/or radiator. Add a suffi-
cient amount of anti-freeze to the coolant to prevent it from freezing.
