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 could open up while driv- ing.NOTE
 If this does not close the engine hood prop- erly, drop it again from a slightly higher position.
 Do not push down strongly on the engine hood. Depending on how strongly or where you push down, you could create a dent in the vehicle body.  For vehicles equipped with the theft-alarm system, if you drive with the engine hood left open, warning display is displayed on theinformation screen in the multi-information display.Type 1 Type 2

Mitsubishi Motors Genuine 5W-30 Engine Oil is the recommended oil for optimum engine performance and protection. SAE 0W-30 or 0W-40 engine oil is recom-mended to improve engine starting in cold weather conditions. Refer to temperature chart.
N00955100042
The oil filter should be replaced at the time ormileage specified in the “WARRANTY ANDMAINTENANCE MANUAL”. Only use high quality replacement filters on this vehicle. The manufacturer’s specifica-tions for Genuine Mitsubishi oil filters require that the filter can withstand a pressure of 256 psi (1.8 MPa). A Genuine Mitsubishioil filter is the best replacement filter.Follow the installation
instructions printed on
the filter.
N00937800542
The coolant reserve tank (A) lets you quickly see when you need to add coolant. When the engine is cold, the level in the reserve tank should be between the “FULL” and “LOW”marks. The radiator usually stays full so there is no reason to remove
the radiator cap (B)
except when you check the coolant freeze point or replace the antifreeze coolant.

NOTE
 Select engine oil of the proper SAE viscosity number according to the atmospheric tem-perature.

Mitsubishi Motors Genuine Coolant provides excellent protection against corrosion and rust formation on all metals, including alumi-num, and prevents blockages in some parts of engine. If you need to add co
olant often, or if the
level in the reserve tank does not drop whenthe engine cools, the cooling system should be pressure-tested for leaks. Take your vehi- cle to an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer
or a repair facility of your choice for testing.
The radiator cap must be tight sealed to pre- vent losing coolant which may result in engine damage. Only use a Genuine Mitsubi-shi Parts radiator cap, or an approved equiva- lent.  Do not overfill the reserve tank.
 Your vehicle uses a special radiator cap that stays sealed and lets the coolant flow from the reserve tank back to the radiator when the engine cools down. If you needto change the cap, use the exact same kind.  Check the coolant freeze point in the radi- ator with the proper gauge, and only when it is safe. If you add antifreeze, the con- tents of the reserve tank must be protectedagainst freezing.  Keep the front of the radiator and con- denser clean.  If the temperature of the engine coolant does not rise after th
e engine is warmed-
up, take your vehicle to an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facil-ity of your choice to have the thermostat checked, and replaced if necessary.

The air cleaner filter w
ill get dirty and dusty
from use and not filter properly. Replace it with a new filter using the schedule in the“WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”. 1. Remove the clips (A), then remove the duct (B).
* : similar high quality ethylene glycol
based non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrate and non-borate coolant with long life hybrid organic acid technologyCAUTION Do not use alcohol or methanol antifreeze or any engine coolants that contain them. Using the wrong antifreeze can corrode aluminum parts.  The required concentration of anti-freeze dif- fers depending on the expected ambient tem-perature. Above -31 °F (-35 °C) : 50 % concentration of anti-freeze Below -31 °F (-35 °C) : 60% concentration of anti-freezeYou can check the concentration level with a gauge from an automotive supply store, or your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer orservice station can check it for you.
 Do not use water to adjust the concentration of coolant.  Do not top off the tank with plain water only. Water by itself boils at a lower temperatureand does not stop rust or freezing. If the water freezes, it will damage your cooling system. Do not use tapwater. It can causecorrosion and rust.
Radiator cap
WA R N I N G Wait for the engine to cool down before opening the radiator cap. Otherwise hotsteam or boiling coolant could spray up from the radiator and scald you.
