In order to maintain the value of your vehi- cle, it is necessary to perform regular mainte- nance using the proper procedures.
Always maintain your vehicle in compliance
with environmental pollution control regula- tions.
Carefully select the materials used for wash- ing, etc., to be sure that they do not contain
corrosives.
If in doubt, we recommend you to consult a specialist for selection of these materials.CAUTIONl Cleaning products can be dangerous. Always
follow the instructions of the cleaning prod- uct supplier.
l To avoid damage, never use the following to
clean your vehicle,
• Petrol

vehicle E00900200611
After cleaning the interior of your vehicle with water, cleaner or similar, wipe and dry
in a shady, well-ventilated area.NOTEl To clean the inside of the tailgate window,
always use a soft cloth and wipe the windowglass along the demister heater element so as
not to cause damage.CAUTIONl Do not use organic substances (solvents,
benzine, kerosene, alcohol, petrol, etc.) or alkaline or acidic solutions.
These chemicals can cause discolouring, staining or cracking of the surface.
If you use cleaners or polishing agents, make
sure their ingredients do not include the sub- stances mentioned above.Plastic, vinyl leather, fabric
and flocked parts

1. Lightly wipe these off with a soft cloth
soaked in a mild soap and water solu- tion.
2. Dip cloth in fresh water and wring it out
well. Using this cloth, wipe off the deter-
gent thoroughly.NOTEl Do not use cleaners, conditioners, and pro-
tectants containing silicons or wax.
Such products can cause discolouring and when applied to the instrument panels orother parts, may cause reflections on the windscreen and obscure vision.
Also, if such products get on the switches of
the electrical accessories, it may lead to fail-
ure of these accessories.
l Do not use synthetic fiber or dry cloth. They
can cause discolouring or damage the sur- face.
l Do not place a deodorizer on the instrument
panel or near lamps and instruments. The in-gredients for deodorizer can cause discolour-
ing or cracking.Upholstery
E00900500207
1. To maintain the value of your new vehi-
cle, handle the upholstery carefully and
keep the interior clean.
Use a vacuum cleaner and brush to clean
the seats. If stained, vinyl and synthetic leather should be cleaned with an appro- priate cleaner. Cloth fabrics can be cleaned with either upholstery cleaner or
a mild soap and water solution.

3.Make sure the bonnet is securely locked
by softly lifting the centre of the bonnet.CAUTIONl Be careful that hands or fingers are not trap-
ped when closing the bonnet.
l Before driving, make sure that the bonnet is
securely locked. An incompletely locked bonnet can suddenly open while driving.
This can be extremely dangerous.NOTEl If this does not close the bonnet, release it
from a slightly higher position.
l Do not press down firmly on the bonnet as
doing so could damage it.NOTEl For vehicles equipped with the security
alarm system, if you drive with the bonnetleft 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 effecton 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 therange 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.

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.
