2017 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER PHEV check engine

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.

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 performance.
CAUTIONl Take care in handling brake fluid as it is
harmful to the eyes, may irritate your skin
and also damage painted surfaces.
l Use 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.Auxiliary battery
E01001203705
The condition of the auxiliary battery is very
important for quick starting of the plug-in hy-
brid EV system and proper functioning of the vehicle’s electrical system. Regular inspec- tion is especially important in cold weather.
Be sure to have a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point check the auxiliary battery.WARNINGl Be sure to have a
MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point
charge the battery. Do not charge the bat- tery yourself. Flammable gases may leak
and explode.CAUTIONl There is a type of auxiliary battery is not
properly installed in the vehicle, even if thesame specification.
When replacing the auxiliary battery, please
contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point.NOTEl When the auxiliary battery is removed, the
controlling timer for forcibly starting the en-
gine may be reset.
Since a fuel injection device may cause a clogging if the state where the engine does
not operate continues after reset of the timer,
please press the battery charge switch in or-
der to start the engine. However, when the drive battery is near full charge, even if the
battery charge switch is pressed, the engine
may not start. In that case, press the battery charge switch again after the drive battery
quantity decreases. Refer to “Battery charge
mode switch” on page 7-28.
l When the auxiliary battery is removed, since
the timer control of the MITSUBISHI Re-
mote Control is reset and the drive battery temperature control cannot be used, commu-
nicate the wireless LAN device and your ve-
hicle again.
l When the auxiliary battery is removed, the
timer control of the MITSUBISHI Remote
Control is reset and each function of the MITSUBISHI Remote Control cannot be
used. Also the drive battery cannot be
warmed up.
Communicate the wireless LAN device and your vehicle again.

NOTElDo not allow the wiper arm to fall onto the
window glass; it could damage the glass.
4. Firmly insert the retainer (C) into the
groove (D) in the wiper blade.
Refer to the illustration to ensure that the
retainers are correctly aligned as you in-
sert them into the groove.NOTEl If a retainer is not supplied with the new
wiper blade, use the retainer from the old
blade.General maintenance

Fuel, engine coolant, oil and ex- haust gas leakage
Look under the body of your vehicle to check
for fuel, engine coolant, oil and exhaust gas
leaks.
WARNINGl If you see a suspicious fuel leak or if you
smell fuel, do not operate the vehicle; call
your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point for assistance.
Exterior and interior lamp op-
eration
Operate the combination lamp switch to
check that all lamps are functioning properly.
If the lamps do not illuminate, the probable cause is a blown fuse or defective lamp bulb.
Check the fuses first. If there is no blown
fuse, check the lamp bulbs.
For information regarding the inspection and
replacement of the fuses and the bulbs, refer
to “Fuses” on page 11-16 and “Replacement
of lamp bulbs” on page 11-23.
General maintenance
11-15OGGE17E1Maintenance11

If the fuses and bulbs are all OK, we recom-
mend you to have your vehicle checked and repaired.
Meter, gauge and indicator/warning lamps operation
Start the plug-in hybrid EV system and check
the operation of all instruments, gauges and indication and warning lamps.
If there is anything wrong, we recommend
you to have your vehicle inspected.
Hinges and latches lubrication
Check all latches and hinges, and, if necessa- ry, have them lubricated.
Fusible links
E01002901633
The fusible links will melt to prevent a fire if
a large current attempts to flow through cer- tain electrical systems.
In case of a melted fusible link, we recom- mend you to have your vehicle inspected.For the fusible links, please refer to “Passen-
ger compartment fuse location table” on page
11-18 and “Engine compartment fuse location
table” on page 11-20.
WARNINGl Fusible links must not be replaced by any
other device. Failing to fit the correct fusi-
ble link may result in fire in the vehicle,
property destruction and serious or fatal injuries at any time.Fuses
