The coolant level in this tank should be keptbetween the “LOW” and “FULL” marks
when measured while the engine is cold.
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 and add coolant until
the level reaches the filler neck.
WARNINGl Do not open the radiator cap while the en-
gine 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.
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.Ambient

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.

During cold weather
E01006600019
To ensure proper operation of the washers at
low temperatures, use a fluid containing ananti-freezing agent.Brake fluid
E01000900847
To check the fluid level
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.
The brake fluid level must be between the
“MAX” and “MIN” marks on the reservoir.LHDRHD
If the level is below the “MIN” mark, check
according to the following procedure: 1. Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK”
or “ACC” position.
2. Repeatedly depress the brake pedal until
significant resistance is felt (normally af-
ter about 40 times).
3. Check the brake fluid level in the reser-
voir.
The brake fluid level must be between the “MAX” and “MIN” marks on the
reservoir.
The fluid level falls slightly with wear of the brake pads, but this does not indicate any ab-
normality.
If the brake 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 brake performance.
CAUTIONl Take care in handling brake fluid as it is
harmful to the eyes, may irritate your skin
and also damage painted surfaces.
