Engine coolant
E01000501042
To check the coolant levelA translucent coolant reserve tank
is located in the engine com-
partment. The coolant level in this tank should be kept between the“LOW” and “FULL” marks when measured while the engine is cold.
To add coolantThe cooling system is a closed
system and normally the loss of
coolant should be very slight.
A noticeable drop in the coolant
level could indicate leakage. If
this occurs, we recommend you
to have the system checked as soon as possible. If the level should drop below th
e “LOW” level on the reserve
tank, open the lid
and add coolant.
Also, if the reserve tank is completely empty, remove the radia- tor cap and add coolant until the
level reaches the filler neck.
Anti-freezeThe engine coolant contains an ethylene glycol anti-corrosion agent. The cylinder head and
water pump housing are cast alu-
minium alloy, and periodic changing of the engine coolant is necessary to prevent corrosion of these parts. Use “DIA QUEEN SUPER LONG LIFE COOLANT” or equivalent.MITSUBISHI Genuine Coolan
t has excellent protection
against corrosion and rust form
ation of all metals including
aluminium and can avoid blockages in the radiator, heater, cyl-inder head, engine block, etc.
WARNING
!●
Do not open the radiator ca
p while the engine is hot.
The coolant system is u
nder pressure and any hot
coolant escaping coul
d cause severe burns.
