using wipers and washers
E00507601558
l If the moving wipers become blocked
partway through a sweep by ice or other deposits on the glass, the wipers maytemporarily stop operating to prevent the
motor from overheating. In this case,
park the vehicle in a safe place and turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” posi-
tion, and then remove the ice or other
deposits.
The wipers will start operating again af- ter the wiper motor cools down, so
check that the wipers operate before us-
ing them.
l Do not use the wipers when the glass is
dry. They may scratch the glass surface
and the blades wear out prematurely.
l Before using the wipers in cold weather,
check that the wiper blades are not fro- zen onto the glass. The motor may burn out if the wipers are used with the blades
frozen onto the glass.
l Avoid using the washer continuously for
more than 20 seconds. Do not operate the washer when the fluid reservoir isempty.
Otherwise, the motor may burn out.
l Periodically check the level of washer
fluid in the reservoir and refill if re- quired.
During cold weather, add a recommen-
ded washer solution that will not freeze
in the washer reservoir. Failure to do so could result in loss of washer functionand frost damage to the system compo- nents.Wiper de-icer switch*

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.

Anti-freezeconcentra- tion %
303540455060CAUTIONl 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 For 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.

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).
