Charging system warning light
N00520600313
This light comes on in the event of a malfunction in the charg-
ing system or when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON”
position (engine off) or the operation mode is put in ON. When
the engine is started, the light should go out. Check to make
sure that the light has gone out before driving.Oil pressure warning light
N00520700170
This light comes on when the engine oil pressure is below nor-
mal. If the light stays on while driving, stop the engine as soon
as possible. Do not run the engine until the cause of the low oil
pressure is corrected.
High coolant temperature warning light - red
N00575700011
This light comes on in red if the coolant temperature becomes
excessively high.NOTEThe high coolant temperature warning light may illumi-
nate when the vehicle has been driven at high speeds or on
hilly roads. This illuminating does not necessarily indicate
a problem. It should stop if you keep the engine running
for a while or continue driving the vehicle.
CAUTION
!If the warning light stays on while the engine is run-
ning, park your vehicle in a safe place as soon as
possible and contact an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice to
have the system checked.
CAUTION
!If this light comes on when the engine oil level is not
low, have your vehicle checked at an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice.This warning light does not show the amount of oil
in the crankcase. This can only be determined by
checking the oil level with the dipstick with the
engine turned off.
CAUTION
!If the light comes on during vehicle operation, it
indicates that the engine is possibly overheating.
Continued driving could make the engine fail.
Immediately stop the vehicle in a safe place and take
appropriate action. (Refer to “Engine overheating”
on page 6-5.)

7-12 Vehicle care and maintenance
7
To add coolantMitsubishi Motors Genuine Coolant provides excellent protec-
tion against corrosion and rust formation on all metals, includ-
ing aluminum, and prevents clogs in some parts of the engine.
If you need to add coolant often, or if the level in the reserve
tank does not drop when the engine cools, the cooling system
should be pressure-tested for leaks. Take your vehicle to an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice for testing.
Radiator capThe radiator cap must be sealed tight to prevent losing coolant,
which may result in engine damage. Only use a Genuine
Mitsubishi Parts radiator cap, or an approved equivalent.Points to rememberDo 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 need to
change the cap, use the exact same kind.
Check the coolant freeze point in the radiator with the
proper gauge, and only when it is safe. If you add anti-
freeze, the contents of the reserve tank must be protected
against freezing.
Keep the front of the radiator and condenser clean.
Use “Mitsubishi Motors Genuine Super Long Life Coolant Pre-
mium” 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
CAUTION
!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 differs
depending on the expected ambient temperature.
Above -31 °F (-35 °C) : 50 % concentration of anti-
freeze
Below -31 °F (-35 °C) : 60 % concentration of anti-
freeze
You can check the concentration level with a gauge
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 cool-
ant.Do not top off the tank with plain water only. Water
by itself boils at a lower temperature and does not
stop rust or freezing. If the water freezes, it will
damage your cooling system. Do not use tapwater. It
can cause corrosion and rust.
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.
CAUTION

NOTEDo not use cleaners, conditioners, and protectants contain-
ing silicones or wax.
Such products, when applied to the instrument panels or
other parts, may cause reflections on the windshield and
obscure vision.
Also, if such products get on the switches of the electrical
accessories, it may lead to failure of these accessories.Upholstery
N00945500128
1. To maintain the value of your new vehicle, maintain the
upholstery carefully and keep the interior clean.
Use a vacuum cleaner and brush to clean the seats. If
stained, vinyl and synthetic leather should be cleaned with
an appropriate cleaner. Cloth fabrics can be cleaned with
either upholstery cleaner or a 3% solution of gentle soap
in lukewarm water.
2. Clean the carpeting with a vacuum cleaner and remove
any stains with carpet cleaner. Oil and grease can be
removed by lightly dabbing with a clean white cloth and
spot remover.NOTEIf fuzzing is difficult to remove from the seat upholstery,
draw a suitable defuzzing brush over the surface in one
direction.
Genuine leather (if so equipped)
N00945600187
1. To clean, lightly wipe the leather with a soft cloth soaked
in a 5% solution of gentle soap and water.
2. To rinse, dip the cloth in fresh water, wring it out well, and
wipe off all the soap.
3. To preserve and protect, use a leather protecting agent on
the genuine leather surface.NOTEIf genuine leather is wet with water, wipe it with a dry,
soft cloth. If left damp, mildew may grow.
The genuine leather surface can be damaged if brushed
with a nylon or synthetic fiber brush.
Organic solvents such as benzine, kerosene, alcohol, gaso-
line, or acid or alkaline solvents can discolor the genuine
leather surface and should not be used.
Genuine leather can mildew if not kept clean. Clean up
any oil stains immediately.
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 possi-
ble.
When the temperature of the vehicle interior rises in sum-
mer, vinyl products left on the genuine leather seat may
deteriorate and stick to the seat.
