If the engine oil pressure drops while the en-gine is running, the warning display is dis-
played on the information screen in the multi- information display.
CAUTIONl If the vehicle is driven while the engine oil
is low, or the oil level is normal but the
warning is displayed, the engine may burn out and be damaged.
l If the warning is displayed while the engine
is running, immediately park your vehicle in
a safe place and check the engine oil level.
l If the warning is displayed while the engine
oil level is normal, have it inspected.Engine oil level warning dis-

When the ignition switch or the operation mode is in ON, if it is suspected that the en-
gine oil level has increased excessively, the warning display is displayed on the informa-

CAUTIONl If this warning is displayed while driving,
stop the vehicle in a safe place, turn off the engine, and check the engine oil level.

Headlamps
NOTElWhen entering a country in which vehicles
are driven on the opposite side of the road tothe country in which your vehicles is sup- plied, necessary measures have to be takento avoid dazzling oncoming traffic. Howev-
er, headlamps on this vehicle do not need any adjustment.
l Do not leave the lights on for a long time
while the engine is stationary (not running).A rundown battery could result.
l When it rains, or when the vehicle has been
washed, the inside of the lens sometimes be-
comes foggy, but this does not indicate a functional problem.
When the lamp is switched on, the heat will
remove the fog. However, if water gathers
inside the lamp, we recommend you to have it checked.

The engine oil used has a significant effect on 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-
valk thes or before starting a long trip.
1. Park the car 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.CAUTIONl In diesel-powered vehicles, when burning
away and removing soot accumulated in the
DPF, fuel can mix with the engine oil and an increase in the engine oil level may occur. This does not indicate an abnormality.
However, if the engine oil level is at or over the “X” mark (B) on the engine oil dipstick
(A), change the engine oil.

lUse engine oil conforming to the follow-
ing classification: • ACEA classification: “For service C1, C2, C3 or C4”
• JASO classification: “For service DL-1”
If those classifications are not available,
contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point.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
E01000503437
To check the coolant level
A transparent coolant reserve tank (A) 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 is 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 (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, non-nitrate 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.
Diesel-powered 1600 models
Use “ALTECO Freecor DSC, BASF Glysan- tin Alu Protect Premium/G30 or G33, or Bru-
garolas Bradol 497”.
This coolant has excellent protection against
corrosion and rust formation of all metals in-
cluding aluminium and can avoid clogs 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.
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 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 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.
