The catalytic converter itself gets hot quickly, and
may be damaged if overheated.
The following
points should be noted in order to prevent the igni-
tion of unburned fuel within the catalytic converter.
l Do not drive with an extremely low fuel lev-
el; running out of fuel could cause damage to
the catalytic converter.
l Do not switch OFF the ignition switch while
driving.
l Do not attempt to start the engine by pushing
the vehicle. If the battery is weak or dis-
charged, use another battery to start the en-
gine.
l Do not idle the engine for prolonged periods
during very rough idle or malfunctioning op-
erating conditions.
l Do not race the engine when turning off the
ignition switch. This will cause the catalytic
converter to be damaged due to contact with
unburnt fuel.
l Stop driving the vehicle if you think the per-
formance is noticeably low, or if the engine
has a malfunction such as with the ignition,
etc.
If it is impractical to stop driving immediate-
ly, reduce the speed and drive for only a
short time. We recommend you to have your
vehicle inspected as soon as possible.
l In unusual situations involving major engine
problems, a burnt smell may indicate severe
and abnormal catalyst overheating.
If this occurs, the vehicle should be stopped
in a safe place, the engine switched off and
the vehicle allowed to cool. Once the engine
is cool, a service, including a tune-up to man-
ufacturer’s specifications, should be obtained
immediately. Bonnet
E01000302281
To open
Pull the release lever towards
you to unlock the bon-
net. Raise the bonnet while pressing the safety lock.
NOTE
l Only
open the bonnet when

the wipers are in
the parked position. Failure to do so may
cause damage to the bonnet, wiper arms or
front windscreen.
Support the bonnet by inserting the support bar in
its slot. Maintenance

CAUTION
l
Note that the support bar may disengage
the bonnet if the open bonnet is lifted by
a strong wind.
l Always insert the support bar into the
hole provided specifically for this pur-
pose. Supporting the bonnet at any other
location could result in the support bar
slipping out and lead to an accident.
To close
Unlatch the support bar and clip it in its holder.
Slowly lower the bonnet to

a position about 20 cm
above the closed position, then let it drop. NOTE
l 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. CAUTION
l
Be careful that hands or
fingers are not
trapped when closing the bonnet.
l Before driving, make sure that the bon-
net is securely locked. An incompletely
locked bonnet can suddenly open while
driving. This can be extremely dangerous. Engine oil

To check and refill engine oil A- Minimum level
B- Maximum level
C- Oil replacement indication mark
Type 1Type 2 The engine oil used has a significant effect on the
engine’s performance, service life
and

startability.
Be sure to use oil of the recommended quality and
appropriate viscosity.
All engines consume a certain amount of oil during
normal operation. Therefore, it is important to
check the oil level at regular intervals or before start-
ing 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 a cleancloth.
5. Reinsert the dipstick as far as it goes.
6. Remove the dipstick and read the oil level, which should always be within the range in-
dicated. Maintenance

NOTE
l 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 assem-
bly. Engine coolant
E01000501202
To check the coolant level
A translucent coolant reserve
tank
is located in the
engine compartment.
The coolant level in this tank should be kept be-
tween the “LOW” and “FULL” marks when meas-
ured while the engine is cold. To add coolant
The
cooling
system is
a

closed system and normal-
ly the loss of coolant should be very slight. A no-
ticeable drop in the coolant level could indicate leak-
age. If this occurs, we recommend 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, re-
move the radiator cap and add coolant until the lev-
el reaches the filler neck. WARNING
l 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 se-
vere burns.
Anti-freeze
The engine coolant contains an

ethylene glycol anti-
corrosion agent. The cylinder head and water pump
housing are cast aluminium alloy, and periodic
changing of the engine coolant is necessary to pre-
vent corrosion of these parts.

Use “DIA QUEEN SUPER LONG LIFE COOL-
ANT” or equivalent.
MITSUBISHI Genuine Coolant has excellent pro-
tection against corrosion and rust formation of all
metals including aluminium and can avoid block-
ages in the radiator, heater, cylinder head, engine
block, etc.
Because of the necessity of this anti-corrosion
agent, the coolant must not be replaced with plain
water even in summer. The required concentration
of anti-freeze differs depending on the expected am-
bient temperature. Ambient

Fuse block location E01007600032
To prevent damage to the electrical system due to
shortcircuiting or overloading, each individual
cir-
cuit is provided with a fuse.
There are fuse blocks in the passenger compart-
ment and in the engine compartment.
Passenger compartment
The fuse block in the passenger compartment is lo-
cated in front of the driver’s seat at the position
shown in the illustration. Engine compartment

fuse block is loca-
ted as shown in the illustration. 1- Push the knob.
2- Remove the cover.

The fuse capacity and

the name of the electrical sys-
tems protected by

are indicated on the in-
side of the fuse lid located at the driver’s leg area
and on the inside of the fuse block cover for fuses
located in the engine compartment.

4. Referring to the fuse
load capacity table,
check the fuse pertaining to the problem. C- Fuse is OK
D- Blown fuse
NOTE l If
any system does not

function but the fuse
corresponding to that system is normal, there
may be a fault in the system elsewhere. We
recommend you to have your vehicle checked. 5. Insert
a new fuse of the same capacity by us-
ing the fuse puller

into the same place at the
fuse block. CAUTION
l
If the newly inserted
fuse
blows again af-
ter a short time, we recommend you to
have the electrical system checked to find
the cause and rectify it.
l Never use a fuse with a capacity larger
than that specified or any substitute, such
as wire, foil, etc.; doing so will cause the
circuit wiring to heat up and could cause
a fire. Replacement of lamp bulbs
E01003100710
Before replacing a bulb, ensure

the lamp is off. Do
not touch the glass part of the new bulb with your
bare fingers; the skin oil left on the glass will evap-
orate when the bulb gets hot and the vapour will
condense on the reflector and dim the surface. CAUTION
l
Bulbs are extremely hot
immediately
af-
ter being turned off.
When replacing a bulb, wait for it to cool
sufficiently before touching it. You could
otherwise be burnt.
NOTE l If
you are unsure of

how to carry out the
work as required, we recommend you to con-
sult a specialist.
l Be careful not to scratch the vehicle body
when removing a lamp or lens.
l When it rains or when the vehicle has been
washed, the inside of the lens sometimes be-
comes foggy. This is the same phenomenon
as when window glass mists up on a humid
day, and does not indicate a functional prob-
lem. When the lamp is switched on, the heat
will remove the fog. However, if water gath-
ers inside the lamp, we recommend you to
have the lamp checked.
Bulb capacity E01003200085
When replacing a bulb, use a new bulb with the
same wattage and colour. Maintenance

l
Handle halogen lamp bulbs
with
care.
The gas inside halogen lamp bulbs is high-
ly pressurized, so dropping, knocking, or
scratching a halogen lamp bulb can cause
it to shatter.
l Never hold the halogen lamp bulb with a
bare hand, dirty glove, etc.
The oil from your hand could cause the
bulb to break the next time the head-
lamps are operated.
If the glass surface is dirty, it must be
cleaned with alcohol, paint thinner, etc.,
and refit it after drying it thoroughly. Maintenance
