E01000503222
To check the coolant level
A translucent coolant reserve tank is locatedin the engine compartment.
Engine coolant
10-06OVWE16E1Maintenance10

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.
Engine coolant
10-07OVWE16E1Maintenance10

CAUTIONlFor effective anti-corrosion and anti-freeze
performance, keep the anti-freeze concentra-
tion within the range of 30 to 60 %.
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.
During cold weather
The concentration should be checked before
the start of cold weather and anti-freeze add-
ed to the system if necessary to prevent dam-
age to engine and radiator due to freezing.
Washer fluid
E01000700656
Windscreen washer fluid
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).Rear window washer fluid
E01006500063
1. Remove the rear window washer fluid
reservoir filler port lid (A) on the back-
door.
2. Pull out the rear window washer fluid
reservoir filler port (B) and check the
washer fluid level.
If the level is low, replenish the contain-
er with washer fluid.

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.
Brake fluid
10-09OVWE16E1Maintenance10

CAUTIONlUse only the specified brake fluid.
Do not mix or add different brands of brake fluid to prevent chemical reactions.
Do not let any petroleum-based fluid touch, mix with, or get into the brake fluid.
This will damage the seals.
l Keep the reservoir tank cap closed to pre-
vent the brake fluid from deteriorating ex- cept maintenance.
l Clean the filler cap before removing and
close the cap securely after maintenance.Clutch fluid*
E01001001507
To check the fluid level
The clutch fluid in the master cylinder should
be checked when performing other under- hood service. In addition, the system shouldbe checked for leakage at the same time.
Check to make certain that the clutch fluid
level is always between the “MAX” and
“MIN” level markings on the fluid reservoir.
If the fluid level falls markedly in a short length of time, it indicates leaks from the
clutch system.
If this occurs, we recommend you to have the
vehicle checked.
Fluid type
Brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 should be used.
The reservoir cap must be fully tightened to avoid contamination from foreign matter or
moisture.
DO NOT ALLOW PETROLEUM-BASED
FLUID TO CONTACT, MIX WITH, OR
OTHERWISE CONTAMINATE THE BRAKE FLUID. SEAL DAMAGE WILL
RESULT.WARNINGl Take care in handling brake fluid as it is
harmful to the eyes, may irritate your
skin and also damage painted surfaces. Wipe up any spills immediately.Power steering fluid
E01001102459
To check the fluid level
Check the fluid level in the reservoir whilethe engine is idling.
Clutch fluid*
10-10OVWE16E1Maintenance10

Check to make certain that the power steering
fluid level is always between the “MAX” and
“MIN” level markings on the fluid reservoir and top up the fluid, if necessary.
Fluid type
Use “ MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE
PSF (Power Steering Fluid)”.
Battery
E01001201772
The condition of the battery is very important
for quick starting of the engine and proper functioning of the vehicle’s electrical system.
Regular inspection and care are especially
important in cold weather.
NOTEl On vehicles equipped with 2 batteries, when
the batteries are replaced, the 2 batteries
should be replaced at the same time.
If only a battery is replaced, it will cause shortening of the batteries life.
Checking battery electrolyte
level
The electrolyte level must be between the specified limit on the outside of the battery.
Replenish with distilled water as necessary.
The inside of the battery is divided into sev- eral compartments; remove the cap from each
compartment and fill to the upper mark. Do not top up beyond the upper mark because
spillage during driving could cause damage.
Check the electrolyte level at least once every
4 weeks, depending on the operating condi- tions.
If the battery is not used, it will discharge by
itself with time.
Check it once every 4 weeks and charge with
low current as necessary.
During cold weather
The capacity of the battery is reduced at low
temperatures. This is an inevitable result of its chemical and physical properties.
This is why a very cold battery, particularly one that is not fully charged, will only deliver
a fraction of the starter current which is nor-
mally available.
We recommend you to have the battery checked before the start of cold weather and,if necessary, have it charged or replaced.
This does not only ensure reliable starting,
but a battery which is kept fully charged also has a longer life.
Disconnection and connection
To disconnect the battery cable, stop the en- gine, first disconnect the negative (–) termi-
nal and then the positive (+) terminal.
When connecting the battery, first connect the positive (+) terminal and then the nega-
tive (-) terminal.
Battery
10-11OVWE16E1Maintenance10

WARNINGlKeep sparks, cigarettes, and flames away
from the battery because the battery could explode.
l The battery electrolyte is extremely caus-
tic. Do not allow it to come in contact with your eyes, skin, clothing, or the painted
surfaces of the vehicle. Spilt electrolyte
should be flushed immediately with ample
amounts of water.
Irritation to eyes or skin from contact with electrolyte requires immediate medi-
cal attention.
l Ventilate when charging or using the bat-
tery in an enclosed space.CAUTIONl Keep it out of reach of children.
l Never disconnect the battery with the igni-
tion switch in the “ON” position; doing so
could damage the vehicle’s electrical com- ponents.CAUTIONl Never short-circuit the battery; doing so
could cause it to overheat and be damaged.
l If the battery is to be quick-charged, first
disconnect the battery cables.
l In order to prevent a short circuit, be sure to
disconnect the negative (-) terminal first.
l Always wear protective eye goggles when
working near the battery.
l Do not bring nearby parts, plastic parts and
so on into contact with sulphuric acid (bat- tery electrolyte) which may crack, stain or
discolour them.
If they are in contact, wipe off with soft
cloth, chamois or the like and an aqueous solution of neutral detergent then immedi-
ately rinse the affected parts with plenty of water.NOTEl Keep the terminals clean. After the battery is
connected, apply terminal protection grease.
To clean the terminals, use lukewarm water.
l Check to see if the battery is securely instal-
led and cannot be moved during travel. Also check each terminal for tightness.NOTEl When the vehicle is to be left unused for a
long period of time, remove the battery and
store it in a place where the battery fluid will not freeze. The battery should be stored only in a fully charged condition.Tyres
E01001300239WARNINGlDriving with tyres that are worn, dam-
aged or improperly inflated can lead to a
loss of control or blow out of the tyres which can result in a collision with serious
