CAUTIONlDo not use alcohol or methanol anti-
freeze or any engine coolants mixed with
alcohol or methanol anti-freeze. The use
of an improper anti-freeze can cause cor-
rosion of the aluminium components.
l For effective anti-corrosion and anti-
freeze performance, keep the anti-freeze
concentration within the range of 30 to
60 %.
Concentrations exceeding 60 % will re-
sult in a reduction of both the anti-freeze
and cooling performance thus adversely
affecting the engine.
l Do not top up with water only.
Water by itself reduces the rust-protec-
tive and anti-freeze qualities of the cool-
ant and has a lower boiling point. It can
also cause damage to the cooling system if
it should freeze. Do not use tapwater, as it
can cause corrosion and rust formation.
During cold weather
If the temperatures in your area drop below freez-
ing, there is the danger that the coolant in the en-
gine or radiator could freeze and cause severe dam-
age to the engine and/or radiator.
Add a sufficient amount of anti-freeze to the cool-
ant to prevent it from freezing.
The concentration should be checked before the
start of cold weather and anti-freeze added to the
system if necessary.
Automatic transmission fluid* E01000601030
The proper amount of automatic transmission fluid
is essential to the life and operation of the automat-
ic transmission. Either insufficient fluid or exces-
sive fluid could cause transmission trouble. The
transmission fluid filler port cap is equipped with a
dipstick. Use the following procedure to check the
fluid level.
Procedure for checking the fluid level 1.Check the fluid level after the vehicle has
been driven enough to warm up the transmis-
sion fluid.
2. Park the vehicle on a flat, level surface and
apply the parking brake.
3. With the engine idling and the brake pedal
fully depressed, move the transmission selec-
tor lever through all the positions from “P”
(PARK) to “D” (DRIVE), stopping momen-
tarily at each position.
4. Move the selector lever to the “P” (PARK)
position.
5. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean
lint-free cloth.
6. Reinsert the dipstick as far as it goes.7. Remove dipstick and read the automatic trans-
mission fluid level.
The fluid level should always be between the
two marks on the dipstick.WARNINGl Do not spill the fluid onto a hot exhaust
manifold during topping up or inspec-
tion, or a fire may occur.
Fluid type
Use only “ MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE
ATF SP III” transmission fluid to ensure optimum
transmission performance.

Wheel conditionE01001800797
1- Location of the tread wear indicator
2- Tread wear indicator
Check the tyres for cuts, cracks and other damage.
Replace the tyres if there are deep cuts or cracks.
Also check each tyre for pieces of metal or pebbles.
The use of worn tyres can be very dangerous be-
cause of the greater chance of skidding or hydro-
planing. The tread depth of the tyres must exceed
1.6 mm in order for the tyres to meet the minimum
requirement for use.
If there are tread wear indicators on the tyres, they
will appear in six places on the surface of the tyre
as the tyre wears, thereby indicating that the tyre
no longer meets the minimum requirement for use.
When these wear indicators appear, the tyres must
be replaced with new ones.
Check that the wheel nuts are tightened correctly.
Refer to the section entitled “For emergencies” for
information concerning replacement of the tyres.
NOTE
l The mark and the location of the tyre tread
wear indicators are different depending on
the tyre manufacturer.
On 4-wheel drive vehicles, when replacement of
any of the tyres is necessary, replace all of them.CAUTIONl Always use tyres of the same size, same
type, and same brand, and which have no
wear differences.
Using tyres of different size, type, brands
or degree of wear, will increase the differ-
ential oil temperature, resulting in possi-
ble damage to the driving system. Fur-
ther, the drive train will be subjected to
excessive loading, possibly leading to oil
leakage, component seizure, or other seri-
ous faults.Replacing tyres and wheels E01007200038CAUTIONlAvoid using different size tyres from the
one listed and the combined use of differ-
ent types of tyres, as this can affect driv-
ing safety.
Refer to “Tyres and wheels” on page
9-17.CAUTIONl Even if a wheel has the same rim size and
offset as the specified type of wheel, its
shape may prevent it from being fitted cor-
rectly. We recommend you to consult a
specialist before using wheels that you
have.Tyre rotation E01001900990
Tyre wear varies with vehicle conditions, road sur-
face conditions and individual driver’s driving hab-
its. To equalize the wear and help extend tyre life,
it is recommended to rotate the tyres immediately
after discovery of abnormal wear, or whenever the
wear difference between the front and rear tyres is
recognizable.

CAUTIONl Handle halogen lamp bulbs with care.
The gas inside halogen lamp bulbs is high-
ly pressurized, so dropping, knocking, or
scratching a halogen lamp bulb can cause
it to shatter.
l Never hold the halogen lamp bulb with a
bare hand, dirty glove, etc.
The oil from your hand could cause the
bulb to break the next time the head-
lamps are operated.
If the glass surface is dirty, it must be
cleaned with alcohol, paint thinner, etc.,
and refit it after drying it thoroughly.
