1. Remove dirt using a sponge while sprin-kling water on the vehicle.2. Use neutral detergent on any dirt that can-not be removed easily with water.Rinse off the neutral detergent after wash-ing the vehicle.3. Dry the vehicle thoroughly using a cham-ois leather or a soft cloth.
E00901600117
The window glass can normally be cleanedusing only a sponge and water.Glass cleaner can be used to remove oil,grease, insect carcasses, etc. After washing
the glass, wipe it dry with a clean, dry, softcloth. Never use a cloth that is used for clean-ing a painted surface to clean a window. Waxfrom the painted surface could get on theglass and lower glass transparency and visi-bility.
E00901700062
Use a soft cloth and glass cleaner to removegrease, dead insects, etc., from the wiperblades. Replace the wiper blades when theyno longer wipe properly. (Refer to page11-12.)
E00902200051
Use a soft cloth to clean the inner side of thesunroof. Hard deposits should be wiped awaywith a cloth dipped in warm, neutral deter-gent solution. Wipe away the solution with asponge dipped in fresh water.
E00902100483
Clean the engine compartment at the begin-ning of autumn and end of winter. Pay partic-ular attention to flanges, crevices andperipheral parts where dust containing roadchemicals and other corrosive materialsmight collect.If salt and other chemicals are used on theroads in your area, or you live within 20 kmof the sea, clean the engine compartment atleast every three months.Never spray or splash water on the electricalcomponents in the engine compartment, asthis may cause damage.Do not bring the nearby parts, the plasticparts and so on into contact with sulphuricacid (battery electrolyte) which may crack,stain or discolour them.If they are in contact, wipe off with soft cloth,chamois or the like and an aqueous solutionof neutral detergent then immediately rinsethe affected parts with plenty of water.
Aluminium wheels*
CAUTIONzDo not use a brush or other hard implementon the wheels.Doing so could scratch the wheels.zDo not use any cleaner th
at contains an abra-
sive substance or is aci
dic or alkaline. Doing
so could cause the coating on the wheels topeel or become discoloured or stained.zDo not directly apply
hot water using a steam
cleaner or by any other means.zContact with seawater and road deicer cancause corrosion. Rinse off such substances assoon as possible.
Window glass
NOTE
zTo c l e a n t h e i n s i d e o f t h e r e a r w i n d o w,always use a soft cloth and wipe the windowglass along the demister heater element so asnot to cause damage.
Wiper blades Cleaning the sunroof*
NOTE
zThe surface treatment on the inside of theglass may be removed if hard cloth ororganic solvent (benzi
ne, kerosene, thinner,
etc.) is used.

E01000404039
The engine oil used has a significant effect onthe engine’s performance, service life andstartability. Be sure to use oil of the recom-mended quality and appropriate viscosity.All engines consume a certain amount of oilduring normal operation. Therefore, it isimportant to check the oil level at regularintervals or before starting a long trip.1. Park the car on a horizontal surface.2. Switch off the engine.3. Wait a few minutes.4. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with aclean cloth.5. Reinsert the dipstick as far as it goes.
6. Remove the dipstick and read the oillevel, which should always be within therange indicated7. If the oil level is below the specified limit,remove the cap located on the cylinderhead cover and add enough oil to raise thelevel to within the specified range. Do notoverfill to avoid engine damage. Be sureto use the specified engine oil and do notmix various types of oil.8. After adding oil, close the cap securely.9. Confirm the oil level by repeating step 4to 6.
zSelect engine oil of the proper SAE vis-cosity number according to the atmos-pheric temperature.SAE 0W-20, 0W-30, 5W-30, and 5W-40engine oils can only be used if they meetACEA A3/B3, A3/B4 or A5/B5 and APISG (or higher) specifications.zUse engine oil conforming to the follow-ing classification:•API classification: “For service SG” orhigher•ILSAC certificated oil•ACEA classification:“For service A1/B1, A3/B3, A3/B4, orA5/B5”

Engine coolant/Plug-in hybrid EV system coolant11-6 Maintenance
11
E01000503105
A transparent engine coolant reserve tank (A)and EV cooling system reserve tank (B) islocated in the engine compartment.The coolant level in this tank should be keptbetween the “LOW” and “FULL” markswhen measured while the engine and theplug-in hybrid EV system are cold.
The cooling system is a closed system andnormally the loss of coolant should be veryslight. A noticeable drop in the coolant levelcould indicate leakage. If this occurs, we rec-ommend you to have the system checked assoon as possible.
If the level should drop below the “LOW”level on the reserve tank, open the lid and addcoolant.Also, if the reserve tank is completely empty,remove the radiator cap (C) or the reservetank cap (D) and add coolant until the levelreaches the filler neck.The engine coolant and the plug-in hybrid EVsystem coolant contains an ethylene glycolanti-corrosion agent. Some parts of theengine and the plug-in hybrid EV system arecast aluminium alloy, and periodic changingof the engine coolant and the plug-in hybridEV system coolant are necessary to preventcorrosion of these parts.
NOTE
zUse of additives is
not recommended since
they may reduce the effectiveness of addi-tives already included in the engine oil. Itmay result in failure of the mechanicalassembly.

MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE Coolanthas excellent protection against corrosion andrust formation of all metals including alumin-ium and can avoid blockages in the radiator,heater, cylinder head, engine block, etc.Because of the necessity of this anti-corrosionagent, the coolant must not be replaced withplain water even in summer. The requiredconcentration of anti-freeze differs dependingon the expected ambient temperature.Above -35 °C: 50 % concentration of anti-freezeBelow -35 °C: 60 % concentration of anti-freeze
If the temperatures in your area drop belowfreezing, there is the danger that the coolantin the engine, plug-in hybrid EV system orradiator could freeze and cause severe dam-age to the engine and/or radiator. Add a suffi-cient amount of anti-freeze to the coolant toprevent it from freezing.The concentration should be checked beforethe start of cold weather and anti-freezeadded to the system if necessary.
E01000700890
Open the washer fluid reservoir cap andcheck the level of washer fluid with the dip-stick.If the level is low, replenish the containerwith washer fluid.
To e n s u r e p r o p e r o p e r a t i o n o f t h e w a s h e r s a tlow temperatures, use a fluid containing ananti-freezing agent.
E01000801696
The fluid level must be between the “MAX”and “MIN” marks on the reservoir.

The use of an improperanti-freeze can cause corrosion of the alu-minium components.zDo not use water to adjust the concentrationof coolant.zConcentrations exceeding 60 % will result ina reduction of both the anti-freeze and cool-ing performance thus adversely affecting theengine.

The fluid level is monitored by a float. Whenthe fluid level falls below the “MIN” mark,the brake fluid warning lamp lights up.The fluid level falls slightly with wear of thebrake pads, but this does not indicate anyabnormality.The fluid in the master cylinder should bechecked when doing other work under the
bonnet. The brake system should also bechecked for leaks at the same time.If the fluid level falls markedly in a shortlength of time, it indicates leaks from thebrake system.If this occurs, we recommend you to have thevehicle checked.Use brake fluid conforming to DOT3 orDOT4 from a sealed container. The brakefluid is hygroscopic. Too much moisture inthe brake fluid will adversely affect the brakesystem, reducing the performance.
E01001203284
The condition of the auxiliary battery is veryimportant for quick starting of the plug-inhybrid EV system and proper functioning ofthe vehicle’s electrical system. Regularinspection is especially important in coldweather. Be sure to have a MITSUBISHIMOTORS Authorized Service Point checkthe auxiliary battery.
