The oil filter should be replaced at the time ormileage specified in the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE 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 Mitsubishi oil filter is the best replacement filter. Follow the installation
instructions printed on
the filter.
N00937801611
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 tankshould 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.
Mitsubishi Motors Genuine Coolant provides excellent protection against corrosion andrust 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 when the engine cools, the cooling system shouldbe pressure-tested for leaks. Take your vehi- cle to an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice for testing.

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 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 radiatorwhen the engine cools down. If you need to 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 protected against freezing.  Keep the front of the radiator and con- denser clean.  If the temperature of the engine coolant does not rise after the engine is warmed-up, take your vehicle to an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facil- ity of your choice to have the thermostatchecked, and replaced if necessary.
N00937901508
The air cleaner filter will get dirty and dustyfrom use and not filter properly. Replace itwith a new filter using the schedule in the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”. 1. Remove the clips (A), then remove the duct (B). 2. While holding down the tab (C), pull out the connector (D).
 The required concentration of anti-freeze dif- fers depending on the expected ambient tem- perature. Above -31 °F (-35 °C) : 50 % concentration of anti-freezeBelow -31 °F (-35 °C) : 60% concentration of anti-freeze You can check the concentration level with agauge from an automotive supply store, or your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or service 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
CAUTION
WA R N I N G Wait for the engine to cool down before opening the radiator cap. Otherwise hot steam or boiling coolant could spray up from the radiator and scald you.

The best way to keep carbon monoxide gas from entering inside your vehicle is to have the engine exhaust system properly serviced. Have a competent mechanic inspect the com-plete exhaust system and nearby body areas for broken, damaged, deteriorated, or mispo- sitioned parts if you notice any of the follow-ing:  A change in the sound of the exhaust sys- tem  The smell of exhaust fumes inside the vehicle The underside or rear of the vehicle is damaged
Also check the exhaust system each time the vehicle is raised for lubrication, oil changes,or required service. Any open seams or loose connections could let dangerous exhaust fumes seep into the luggage compartment andpassenger compartments.  Check for holes or exhaust gas leaks caused by corrosion or damage.  Check the joints and connections for looseness or exhaust gas leaks.  Check the rubber hangers and brackets for damage.
N00942500114
The hood lock release mechanism and hoodsafety catch should be checked, cleaned, and oiled when needed for easy movement and to stop rust and wear. Use Multipurpose GreaseNLGI Grade 2 sparingly for all sliding parts of the hood latch and release lever. Work the grease into the hood lock mechanism until allthe movable surfaces are covered.Also, put a light coat of the same grease on the safety catch wherever moving parts touch.
N00942600102
The ventilation slots in front of the wind-shield should be brushed clear after a heavy snowfall so that the operation of the heatingand ventilation systems will not be impaired. To prevent freezing of the weatherstripping on the doors, engine hood, etc., they should be treated with silicone grease.
It is a good idea to carry a shovel or a short- handled spade in the vehicle during the win- ter so that you can clear away snow if you getstranded. A small hand-brush for sweeping snow off the vehicle and a plastic scraper for the windshield, side and rear window are alsouseful.
N00942700259
The fusible links will melt
to prevent a fire if
a large current attempts to flow through cer-tain electrical systems. In case of a melted fusible link, see your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or arepair facility of your choice for inspection and replacement. For the fusible links, please refer to “Fuseload capacities” on page 9-26.
Check for any of the following conditions:
Hood lock release mechanism and safety catch For cold and snowy weather Ventilation slots Weatherstripping
Additional equipment (For regions where snow is encoun- tered) Fusible links
WA R N I N G Fusible links must not be replaced by any other device. Failing to fit the correct fus- ible link may result in fire in the vehicle,property destruction and serious or fatal injuries at any time.

To protect your vehicle’s finish, wash it often and thoroughly. If desired, you may wax your vehicle using a nonabrasive automobile wax.
N00945800046
Industrial pollution, road tar, bird droppings,tree sap, insect remains, sea water and otherforeign matters can damage the finish on your vehicle. Generally, the longer any foreign materialstays on the finish, the worse the damage. Wash your vehicle as s
oon as possible when-
ever the finish gets soiled.
N00945900526
Chemicals contained in the dirt and dustpicked up from air, rain, snow or road sur-faces can damage the paint and body of your vehicle if left on. Frequent washing and waxing is the best wayto protect your vehicle from this damage. Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight. Park the vehicle in the shade and spray it withwater to remove dust. Next, using plenty ofclean water and a car washing mitt or sponge, wash the vehicle from top to bottom. Use a mild car washing soap if necessary.Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a cham- ois or soft cloth. After washing the vehicle, carefully clean the joints and flanges of thedoors, hood, etc., where dirt is likely to remain.
 The genuine leather surface may harden and shrink if it is exposed to the direct sunlight for long hours. When your vehicle is parked, place it in the shade as much as possible.  When the temperature of the vehicle interior rises in summer, vinyl products left on the genuine leather seat may deteriorate andstick to the seat.
Cleaning the outside of your vehicle Foreign material
NOTE
Wa s h i n g
CAUTION When washing the underside of your vehicle or the wheels, wear a pair of gloves to pro-tect your hands. If your vehicle has rain sensor wipers, place the wiper switch lever in the “OFF” position to deactivate the rain sensor before washingthe vehicle. Otherwise, the wipers will oper- ate in the presence of water spray on the windshield and may get damaged as a result.
 Never spray or splash water on the electrical parts in the engine compartment. This may damage them. Be careful also when washing the underbody. Do not spray water into the engine compartment. Avoid automatic car washers that use rotat- ing brushes. These brushes may scratch thepaint surface and make it dull. Scratches are more noticeable on darker col- ored vehicles. Some hot water washing equipment uses high pressure and heat
to clean your vehicle.
This heated water may damage your vehi- cle’s resin parts. It can flood the interior of the vehicle. Therefore, be sure of the follow-ing:• Keep the washing nozzle at least 20 inches(50 cm) away from the vehicle body.• When washing around the door glass, holdthe nozzle at a distance of more than 20 inches (50 cm) and at right angles to the glass surface.
 When using high-pressure water to wash a vehicle equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key sys-tem, keep the water from spraying on the open button on the trunk. This could cause the trunk to open and flood the inside of the trunk.  Make sure to do the following when using an automatic car wash, with help from either this manual or the car wash operator, toavoid damaging your vehicle:• Fold the outside mirrors.CAUTION
