7. If there is no obvious leak source, check the coolant level in th
e engine coolant res-
ervoir. If there is none, or if it is too low, slowly add coolant. 8. If the engine coolant reservoir needs cool-ant, you will probably also need to add coolant to the radiator. Do not loosen or remove the radiator cap until the enginehas cooled down. 9. Start the engine, and slowly add coolant, up to the bottom of the filler neck. Useplain water if you have to (and replace it with the right coolant as soon as possible).
10. Replace the radiator
cap and tighten it
fully. Check the coolant temperature warning light. You can start driving again when the high coolant temperature warn-ing light does not come on.
11. Have the system inspected by your autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer or a repair
facility of your choice.

The tools are stored beneath the floor boardof the cargo area. The jack is stored under the driver’s seat.
Move the driver’s seat fully forward to access the jack from the rear seat area.(Refer to “Front seats” on page 4-3.)
WA R N I N G Removing the radiat
or cap could scald
you with escaping hot water or steam. When checking the radiator level, cover the cap with a cloth before trying toremove it. Turn it slowly counterclock- wise, without pressing down, to the first notch. The pressure in the system will thenbe let out. When the pressure is COM- PLETELY LET OUT, press down and keep turning the cap counterclockwiseuntil it comes off.

Operation under adverse driving conditions 8-14 For emergencies

Do not rev the engine or spin the wheels. Constant efforts to free a stuck vehicle cancause overheating and tr
ansaxle failure. Let
the engine idle for a few minutes to cool the transaxle before trying again.If your vehicle is still
stuck after several rock-
ing attempts, call for a commercial tow truck service.
When driving on a road covered with snow or ice, use snow tires. Tire chainscannot be used on your vehicle. There may be state or local regulations about using snow tires. Always check the regu-lations in your local area before using them. Refer to “Snow tires” on page 9-20 and “Tire chains” on page 9-20. Drive slowly. Do not make sudden starts or stops, sharp turns, or slam on the brakes. Allow extra distance
between your vehi-
cle and the vehicle in front of you, and avoid sudden braking. If a skid occurs when the accelerator pedal is depressed, take your foot off the pedal. Steer gently in the direction of theskid.
Your vehicle is equipped with an anti-lock braking system (ABS). Hold the brakepedal down firmly and keep it depressed. Do not pump the brake pedal which will result in reduced braking performance. After parking on snowy or icy roads, it may be difficult to move your vehicle due to the brake being frozen. Depress theaccelerator pedal little by little to move the vehicle when safe to do so. Drive as slow as possible when driving on bumpy, rutted roads or over potholes etc.
WA R N I N G When trying to rock
your vehicle out of a
stuck position, make sure that there are no people nearby. The
rocking motion can
make your vehicle suddenly lurch forwardor backward, and inju
re any bystanders.
On wet roads
CAUTIONAvoid flooded roads. Water is often deeper than it looks, and you
could be seriously hurt
by driving into flood water. When driving in rain, on water-covered roads, or through a car wash, water could get into the brake discs and make them fail tem-porarily. In such cases, lightly press the brake pedal to see if they are working prop- erly. If they are not, press the pedal lightlyseveral times while driving to dry the brake pads or linings, then check them again.
When driving in rain, a layer of water may form between the tires and the road surface(hydroplaning). This loosens your tires’ gripon the road, making it difficult to steer or brake properly. When driving on a wet road:• Drive your vehicle at a safe speed.• Do not drive on worn tires.• Always keep the tires at the correct infla- tion pressures.
On snowy or icy roads
CAUTION
CAUTION Do not depress the acce
lerator pedal rapidly.
The vehicle could start moving when itbreaks free from the ice, possibly resulting in an accident.
On a bumpy or rutted road
CAUTION Driving on bumpy, rutted roads or over pot- holes can damage the tires and wheels. Wheels with low-profile tires or under-inflated tires are especially at risk for dam- age. The vehicle’s body, bumper, muffler and other parts may be dama
ged if the vehicle is:

It is normal for an engi
ne to use oil. You may
need to add oil betwee
n the recommended oil
change intervals. Before starting the engine,check the engine oil level. Refill if necessary. To check the oil level, remove the dipstick, wipe it off, and gently
reinsert it all the way.
Slowly pull the dipsti
ck straight out and
check the oil level by checking the upper sur- face of the dipstick. Th
e oil level must not go
above the line on the dipstick. If the level does not reach the line which shows the minimum amo
unt of oil required,
remove the oil filler cap on the engine valve cover, and fill to within the “Good” range.
To close
CAUTION Be careful not to trap your hands or fingers when closing the engine hood. Make sure the engine hood is firmly closed before driving.If you drive without the engine hood com- pletely closed, it c
ould open up while driv-
ing.
NOTE
If this does not clos
e the engine hood prop-
erly, drop it again from a slightly higherposition. Do not push down strongly on the engine hood. Depending on how strongly or whereyou push down, you could create a dent in the vehicle body.

Check the washer fluid
level at regular inter-
vals and add washer fluid to reservoir if nec-essary. Open the reservoir cap and check the level of washer fluid.Full level is approximately 2 inches (5 cm) below from the upper surface of the reservoir. When freezing weather is anticipated, flush out the water in the reservoir by operating the pump. Fill the reservoir with windshield anti-freeze (not radiator an
tifreeze), and operate
the system for a few seconds to flush out the residual water.
N00938701314
The fluid level must be between the “MAX”and “MIN” marks on the reservoir. The fluid level falls slightly with wear of the brake pads, but this
does not indicate any
abnormality. The fluid in the master cylinder should be checked when doing other work under theengine hood. The brake system should also be checked for leaks at the same time. If the fluid level falls
noticeably in a short
length of time, it indi
cates leaks from the
brake system.
If this occurs, have the vehicle checked by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or arepair facility of your choice. Use the brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4. The reservoir cap must be tightly sealed to keep dirt and water out.

Wipe up spills immediately. If brake fluid gets on your hands or in your eyes, flush immediately with cleanwater. Follow up with a doctor as neces- sary.CAUTION Do not let any petrol
eum-based fluid touch,
mix with, or get into
the brake fluid. This
will damage the seals. Be careful when handli
ng brake fluid. It can
damage painted surfaces. Use only the listed brake fluid. Different brands of brake fluid
have different addi-
tives, and these can cause a chemical reac- tion. Do not mix brands of brake fluid.
