Mitsubishi Motors recommends using only engine oils with the ILSAC certification sym- bol on the front of the container. If you cannot find oils with the ILSAC certi- fication symbol, use an API classification SN oil with the following label.
This mark appears on the top of the oil con- tainer and tells you two important things about the oil. Use engine oil with the proper thickness for the outdoor temperatures where you will bedriving.

grade oils displaying the ILSAC certificationcan be used. However, Mitsubishi Motors Genuine 0W-20 Synthetic Engine Oil should be used at the next oil change to maintainoptimum fuel economy and cold weatherstarting. The oil filter should be
replaced at the time or
mileage specified in the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”. Only use high quality replacement filters onthis vehicle. The manufacturer’s specifica- tions for Mitsubishi Motors Genuine oil fil-

The engine coolant reserve tank (A) lets you quickly see when you need to add coolant. When the engine is cold, the level of the cool- ant in the reserve tank should be between theFULL and LOW marks. The radiator usually stays full so there is no reason to remove the radiator cap (B) except when you check thecoolant freeze point or replace the antifreeze coolant.
Mitsubishi Motors Genuine Coolant provides excellent protection against corrosion and
rust formation on all metals, including alumi- num, and prevents clogs in some parts of the engine. If you need to add co
olant often, or if the
level in the reserve tank does not drop when the engine cools, the cooling system should be pressure-tested for leaks. Take your vehi-cle to an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice for testing.

CAUTION  Do not use alcohol or methanol antifreeze or any engine coolants that contain them. Using the wrong antifreeze can corrode aluminum parts. The required concentration of anti-freeze dif- fers depending on the expected ambient tem-perature. Above -31 °F (-35 °C): 50 % concentration of anti-freezeBelow -31 °F (-35 °C): 60 % concentration of anti-freeze You can check the concentration level with agauge from an automotive supply store, or your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or service station can check it for you. Do not use water to adjust the concentration of coolant. Do not top off the tank with plain water only. Water by itself boils at a lower temperature and does not stop rust or freezing. If the water freezes, it will damage your coolingsystem. Do not use tapwater. It can cause corrosion and rust.

The radiator cap must be
sealed tight to pre-
vent losing coolant, which may result inengine damage. Only use a Mitsubishi Motors Genuine Parts radiator cap, or an approved equivalent.  Do not overfill the reserve tank.  Your vehicle uses a special radiator cap that stays sealed and lets the coolant flow from the reserve tank back to the radiatorwhen the engine cools down. If you need to change the cap, use the exact same kind. Check the coolant freeze point in the radi- ator with the proper gauge, and only when it is safe. If you add antifreeze, the con-tents of the reserve tank must be protected against freezing.  Keep the front of the radiator and con- denser clean.
 If the engine coolant temperature does not rise after the engine is warmed-up, take your vehicle to an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of yourchoice to have the thermostat checked, and replaced if necessary.

If the blades are frozen to the windshield or rear window, do not operate the wipers until the ice has melted and the blades are freed,otherwise the wiper motor may be damaged.
N00940800328
Your vehicle is equipped with an emission-control system that meets all the requirementsof the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Environment Canada. The emission-con- trol system is made of:  a positive crankcase ventilation system  an evaporative emission-control system  an exhaust emission-control system
To be sure the emission-control system works properly, have your vehicle inspected and maintained by an authorized MitsubishiMotors dealer or a repair facility of your choice. This should be done at the time or mileage specified in the “WARRANTY ANDMAINTENANCE MANUAL”. These, and all the other “general” mainte- nance services listed in this manual, need tobe performed to keep your vehicle running properly and reliably. You should also have an inspection and ser-vice any time you suspect a malfunction.
N00940900231
Spark plugs must fire properly to ensureproper engine performance and emission-control. Do not reuse spark plugs by cleaning or regapping. Spark plugs should be replaced atthe mileage specified in the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”.
CAUTION If the rear wiper is not stopped within the mark (A), the wiper arm will contact the roofspoiler and you will not be able to lift the wiper arm. If you forcefully try to lift the wiper arm, the wiper arm and roof spoilercould be damaged or the painted surfaces could be scratched.
During cold weather
Emission-control system maintenance
NOTE
 To meet government regulations and pro- mote cleaner air, your vehicle is equipped with an onboard diagnostic system (OBD). The engine electronic control module that controls OBD functions stores various data(especially about the exhaust emissions). This data will be erased if the battery cable is disconnected, which could make a rapiddiagnosis difficult. Do not disconnect the battery cable when the engine malfunction indicator (“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” or“Check engine light”) is ON.
Spark plugs
NOTE
 Use the recommended or equivalent spark plugs listed under “Engine specifications” on page 11-6. Use of other plugs could cause engine damage, loss of performance or radionoise.

1. Before replacing a fuse, always turn off the electrical item connected to the fuse and turn the ignition switch to the “OFF”position or put the operation mode in OFF. 2. There is a fuse remover (A) in the enginecompartment fuse block.
3. Clamp it on the fuse you wish to remove, and pull the fuse straight out from the fuseblock. 4. Use the fuse location diagrams and the matching tables, to check the fuse that is related to the problem. If the fuse is not blown, something else must be causingthe problem. Have the system inspectedby your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
5. Insert a new fuse of the same capacity securely into the appropriate slot.

N00942901418
Before replacing a bulb, be sure the light is off. Do not touch the glass part of the newbulb with your bare fingers; the oil from your skin will stay on the glass and dim or destroy the bulb when it gets hot.
N00943001197
Replacement of light bulbs
CAUTION Bulbs are extremely hot immediately after being turned off.When replacing a bulb, wait for it to cool sufficiently before touching it. You could otherwise be burned. Handle halogen light bulb with care. The gas inside a halogen light bulb is highly pressur-ized, so dropping, knocking, or scratching a halogen light bulb can cause it to shatter.
 Never hold a halogen light bulb with a bare hand, dirty glove, etc. The oil from your hand could cause the bulb to break the next time the headlights are used.If the glass surface is dirty, clean it with alcohol and let it dry completely before installing the bulb. Do not install commercially available LED type bulbs.Commercially available LED type bulbs could adversely affect the operation of the vehicle, such as by preventing the lights andother vehicle equipment from operating properly.NOTE
 If you are unsure of how to carry out the work as required, it is recommended that these procedures be carried out by an autho- rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repairfacility of your choice.CAUTION
 Be careful not to scratch the vehicle body when removing a light and lens.  When it rains, or when the vehicle has been washed, the inside of the lens sometimesbecomes temporarily foggy. This is the same phenomenon as when window glass mists up on a humid day, and does not indicate a func-tional problem. When the light is switched on, the heat will remove the fog. However, if water gathersinside the light, please have it checked by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
Bulb location and capacity
CAUTION When replacing a bulb, be sure to use a new bulb of the same type, wattage, and color.If you install a different bulb, the bulb could malfunction or fail to come on and could lead to a vehicle fire.NOTE
