Damaged paint
E00901201237
Small cracks and scratches in the paint coat
should be touched up as soon as possible
with MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE
touch-up paint to prevent corrosion. Check body areas facing the road or the tyres
carefully for damage to the paint coat caused
by flying stones, etc. The paint code number
for your vehicle can be found on the vehicle information code plate. (Refer to “Vehicle in-
formation code plate” on page 11-02.)
Cleaning plastic parts
E00901300619
Use a sponge or chamois leather.
If a car wax adheres on a grey or black rough surface of the bumper, moulding or lamps, the surface becomes white. In such a case,
wipe it off using lukewarm water and soft cloth or chamois leather.
CAUTIONl Do not use a scrubbing brush or other hard
tools as they may damage the plastic part surface.
l Do not use wax containing compound (pol-
ishing powder) which may damage the plas-
tic part surface.CAUTIONl Do not bring the plastic parts into contact
with petrol, light oil, brake fluids, engine
oils, greases, paint thinners, and sulphuric acid (battery electrolyte) which may crack,stain or discolour the plastic parts.
If they touch the plastic parts, wipe them off
with soft cloth, chamois or the like and an aqueous solution of neutral detergent thenimmediately rinse the affected parts with
water.Chrome parts
E00901400115
In order to prevent spots and corrosion of
chrome parts, wash with water, dry thorough-
ly, and apply a special protective coating.
This should be done more frequently in win- ter.
Aluminium wheels
E00901501663
1. Remove dirt using a sponge while sprin-
kling water on the wheels.
2. Use neutral detergent on any dirt that
cannot be removed easily with water.
Rinse off the neutral detergent after
washing the wheels.
3. Dry the wheels thoroughly using a cha-
mois leather or a soft cloth.
CAUTIONl Do not use a brush or other hard implement
on the wheels.
Doing so could scratch the wheels.
l Do not use any cleaner that contains an abra-
sive substance or is acidic or alkaline. Doing
so could cause the coating on the wheels to peel or become discoloured or stained.
l Do not directly apply hot water using a
steam cleaner or by any other means.
l Contact with seawater and road deicer can
cause corrosion. Rinse off such substances as soon as possible.Window glass
E00901600032
The window glass can normally be cleaned
using only a sponge and water.
Glass cleaner can be used to remove oil, grease, dead insects, etc. After washing the
glass, wipe dry with a clean, dry, soft cloth. Never use the same cloth to wipe the window glass as would be used to wipe the paint-
work; wax from the painted surfaces could
adhere to the glass and reduce its transparen-
cy and visibility.

CAUTIONlNote that the support bar may disengage the
bonnet if the open bonnet is lifted by astrong wind.
l After inserting the support bar into the slot,
make sure the bar supports the bonnet se-
curely from falling down on to your head or body.
To close
1. Unlatch the support bar and clip it in its
holder.
2. Slowly lower the bonnet to a position
about 20 cm above the closed position,
then let it drop.
3. Make sure the bonnet is securely locked
by softly lifting the centre of the bonnet.
NOTEl If this does not close the bonnet, release it
from a slightly higher position.
l Do not press down the bonnet hard with a
hand as it may damage the bonnet.CAUTIONl Be careful that hands or fingers are not trap-
ped when closing the bonnet.Engine oil

C- Oil replacement indication mark
3000 models3200 models
The engine oil used has a significant effect
on the engine’s performance, service life and
startability. Be sure to use oil of the recom- mended quality and appropriate viscosity.
All engines consume a certain amount of oil during normal operation. Therefore, it is im-portant to check the oil level at regular inter-
vals or before starting a long trip. 1. Park the vehicle on a horizontal surface.
2. Switch off the engine.
3. Wait a few minutes.
4. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a
clean cloth.
5. Reinsert the dipstick as far as it goes.
6. Remove the dipstick and read the oil lev- el, which should always be within therange indicated.
Engine oil

NOTElUse of additives is not recommended since
they may reduce the effectiveness of addi-
tives already included in the engine oil. It may result in failure of the mechanical as-
sembly.
Diesel-powered vehicles
l Select engine oil of the proper SAE vis-
cosity number according to the atmos-pheric temperature.
l Use engine oil conforming to the follow-
ing classification:
• ACEA classification: “For service C1, C2, C3 or C4”
• JASO classification: “For service DL-1”
If those classifications are not available,
contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point.
NOTEl Use of additives is not recommended since
they may reduce the effectiveness of addi-
tives already included in the engine oil. It may result in failure of the mechanical as-
sembly.Engine coolant
E01000503222
To check the coolant level
A translucent coolant reserve tank is locatedin the engine compartment.
The coolant level in this tank should be kept
between the “LOW” and “FULL” marks when measured while the engine is cold.
To add coolant
The 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 rec- ommend you to have the system checked as
soon as possible.
If the level should drop below the “LOW” level on the reserve tank, open the lid and
add coolant.
Also, if the reserve tank is completely empty, remove the radiator cap and add coolant until
the level reaches the filler neck.
WARNINGl Do not open the radiator cap while the en-
gine is hot. The coolant system is under pressure and any hot coolant escaping
could cause severe burns.

3.Check the brake fluid level in the reser-
voir.
The brake fluid level must be between the “MAX” and “MIN” marks on the
reservoir.
The fluid level falls slightly with wear of the
brake pads, but this does not indicate any ab-
normality.
If the brake fluid level falls markedly in a short length of time, it indicates leaks from
the brake system.
If this occurs, we recommend you to have the vehicle checked.
Fluid type
Use brake fluid conforming to DOT3 or
DOT4 from a sealed container. The brake fluid is hygroscopic. Too much moisture in
the brake fluid will adversely affect the brake
system, reducing the brake performance.
CAUTIONl Take care in handling brake fluid as it is
harmful to the eyes, may irritate your skin and also damage painted surfaces.CAUTIONl Use only the specified brake fluid.
Do not mix or add different brands of brake fluid to prevent chemical reactions.
Do not let any petroleum-based fluid touch, mix with, or get into the brake fluid.
This will damage the seals.
l Keep the reservoir tank cap closed to pre-
vent the brake fluid from deteriorating ex- cept maintenance.
l Clean the filler cap before removing and
close the cap securely after maintenance.Power steering fluid
E01001102459
To check the fluid level
Check the fluid level in the reservoir whilethe engine is idling.
Check to make certain that the power steering
fluid level is always between the “MAX” and
“MIN” level markings on the fluid reservoir
and top up the fluid, if necessary.
Fluid type
Use “ MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE
PSF (Power Steering Fluid)”.
Battery
E01001201772
The condition of the battery is very important
for quick starting of the engine and proper functioning of the vehicle’s electrical system.
Regular inspection and care are especially
important in cold weather.
