The coolant level in this tank should be keptbetween the “L” (LOW) and “F” (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 “L”
(LOW) level on the reserve tank, open the lid
and add coolant.
Also, if the reserve tank is completely empty, remove the radiator cap (B) and add coolant until the level reaches the filler neck.WARNINGl Do not open the radiator cap (B) while the
engine 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. Some parts of the engine 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 PREMI- UM” or equivalent*.
*: similar high quality ethylene glycol based
non-silicate, non-amine, nonnitrate and non- borate coolant with long life hybrid organic
acid technology
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
Below -35 °C: 60 % concentration of anti- freezeCAUTIONl Do not use alcohol or methanol anti-freeze
or any engine coolants mixed with alcoholor 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.

During cold weather
If the temperatures in your area drop belowfreezing, there is the danger that the coolant
in the engine or radiator could freeze and
cause severe damage to the engine and/or ra- diator. Add a sufficient amount of anti-freeze to the coolant to prevent it from freezing.The concentration should be checked before the start of cold weather and anti-freeze add-
ed to the system if necessary.
Washer fluid
E01000702113
Open the washer fluid reservoir cap andcheck the level of washer fluid with the dip- stick.
If the level is low, replenish the container with washer fluid.
NOTEl The washer fluid container serves the wind-
screen and headlamps (if so equipped).
During cold weather
To ensure proper operation of the washers at
low temperatures, use a fluid containing ananti-freezing agent.
Brake fluid
E01000902131
To check the fluid level
Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir.
The brake fluid level must be between the “MAX” and “MIN” marks on the reservoir.
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 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. The brake fluid is hygroscopic. Too
much moisture in the brake fluid will ad- versely affect the brake system, reducing the brake performance.
In addition, the brake fluid reservoir is equip-
ped with a special cap to prevent the entrance
of air, and this cap should not be removed.
WARNINGl Take care in handling brake fluid as it is
harmful to the eyes, may irritate your
skin and will damage painted surfaces.
Wipe up spills immediately. If brake fluid gets on your hands or in your eyes, flushimmediately with clean water. Follow up
with a doctor as necessary.

vehicle, depending on the vehicle model
or specifications.
l The table above shows the main equip-
ment corresponding to each fuse.
The fuse block does not contain spare 7.5 A ,
10 A or 15 A fuses. If one of these fuses burns out, substitute with the following fuse.7.5 A: Outside rear-view mirrors
10 A: Option
15 A: Cigarette lighter
