WARNINGlIf it is necessary to do work in the engine
compartment with the plug-in hybrid EV
system starting, be especially careful that
your clothing, hair, etc., does not become caught by the cooling fans, drive belts, orother moving parts.
l After performing the maintenance, make
sure that no tools or cloths are left behind in the engine compartment. If they are left
behind, a fire or damage to the vehicle
may occur.
l The cooling fans can turn on automatical-
ly even if the plug-in hybrid EV system is
stopping. Put the operation mode of the
power switch in OFF to be safe while you work in the engine compartment.
l Make sure that the engine and Plug-in
Hybrid EV system has cooled down be- fore removing the radiator cap and EV cooling system reserve tank cap, because
hot steam or boiling water will otherwise
gush from the filler port and may scald you.
l Do not smoke, cause sparks or allow open
flames around fuel or auxiliary battery.
The fumes are flammable.
l Be extremely cautious when working
around the auxiliary battery. It contains
poisonous and corrosive sulphuric acid.
l Do not get under your vehicle with just
the body jack supporting it. Always use
automotive jack stands.WARNINGl Improper handling of components and
materials used in the vehicle can endangeryour personal safety. We recommend you to consult a specialist for necessary infor- mation.
l The components inside the engine room
might be very hot to the touch.
To avoid being burnt, make sure all com- ponents have sufficiently cooled before beginning an inspection. These compo-
nents are affixed with the label indicating precautions for handling. Follow the in-
structions on the label.

Catalytic converter
E01000202495
The exhaust gas scavenging devices used with the catalytic converter are extremely ef- ficient for the reduction of noxious gases.
The catalytic converter is installed in the ex- haust system.
It is important to keep the engine properly
tuned to ensure proper catalyst operation and prevent possible catalyst damage.WARNINGl As with any vehicle, do not park or oper-
ate this vehicle in areas where combusti- ble materials such as dry grass or leaves
can come in contact with a hot exhaust
since a fire could occur.
l Paint should not be applied to the catalyt-
ic converter.NOTEl Use fuel of the type recommended in
“Fuel
selection” on page 2-13.

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.

NOTElThe engine oil will deteriorate rapidly if the
vehicle is subjected to severe conditions, re-
quiring earlier oil replacement.
Please refer to the maintenance schedule.
l For information on how to dispose of used
engine oil, refer to page 2-17.
Recommended engine oil vis-
cosity
l Select engine oil of the proper SAE vis-
cosity number according to the atmos-
pheric temperature.
SAE 0W-20, 0W-30, 5W-30, and 5W-40
engine oils can only be used if they meet ACEA A3/B3, A3/B4 or A5/B5 and API
SM (or higher) specifications.
l Use engine oil conforming to the follow-
ing classification: • API classification: “For service SM”
or higher
• ILSAC certificated oil
• ACEA classification: “For service A1/B1, A3/B3 , A3/B4 or
A5/B5”NOTEl Use of additives is not recommended since
they may reduce the effectiveness of addi-
tives already included in the engine oil. It may result in failure of the mechanical as-
sembly.Engine coolant/Plug-in
hybrid EV system coolant E01000503466
To check the coolant level
A transparent engine coolant reserve tank (A)
and EV cooling system reserve tank (B) is lo- cated in the engine compartment.
The coolant level in this tank should be kept
between the “LOW” and “FULL” marks
when measured while the engine and the
plug-in hybrid EV system are cold.

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.
