The radiator cap must be sealed tight to pre- vent losing coolant, which may result in engine damage. Only use a Mitsubishi Motors Genuine Parts radiator cap, or anapproved equivalent. Do not overfill the reserve tank.
Your vehicle uses a
special radiator cap
that stays sealed and lets the coolant flowfrom the reserve tank back to the radiator when the engine cools down. If you need to change the cap, use the exact samekind. Check the coolant freeze point in the radi- ator with the proper gauge, and only whenit is safe. If you add antifreeze, the con- tents of the reserve ta
nk must be protected
against freezing. Keep the front of the radiator and con- denser clean. If the engine coolan
t temperature does not
rise after the engine
is warmed-up, take
your vehicle to an au
thorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice to have the thermostat checked, and replaced if necessary.

The air cleaner filter
will 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. For 2.4 L models, remove the two clips (A), then remove the Air duct (B).
2. For 2.4 L models,
while holding down the
tab (C), pull out the connector (D). 3. Unclamp the cover. Open up the top of the cover and take out th
e air cleaner filter.
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 thewater freezes, it will
damage your cooling
system. Do not use ta
pwater. It can cause
corrosion and rust.
