CAUTION

Therefore:

•

Maintain a distance of approx. 70 cm or
more between the vehicle body and the
washing nozzle.

•

When washing around the door glass,
hold the nozzle at a distance of more than
70 cm and at right angles to the glass sur-
face.

After washing the vehicle, drive the vehicle
slowly while lightly depressing the brake
pedal several times in order to dry out the
brakes.
Leaving the brakes wet could result in re-
duced braking performance. Also, there is a
possibility that they could freeze up or be-
come inoperative due to rust, rendering the
vehicle unable to move.

When using an automatic car wash, pay at-
tention to the following items, referring to
the operation manual or consulting a car
wash operator. If the following procedure is
not followed, it could result in damage to
your vehicle.

•

The outside mirrors are retracted.

•

The wiper arms are secured in place with
tape.

•

If your vehicle is equipped with a rear
spoiler or roof rails, consult a car wash
operator before using the car wash.

•

If your vehicle has rain sensor wipers,
place the wiper switch lever in the “OFF”
position to deactivate the rain sensor.

During cold weather

Salt and other chemicals spread on the roads
in some areas in winter can have a harmful
effect on the vehicle body. You should there-
fore wash the vehicle as often as possible in
accordance with our care-instructions. It is
recommended to have a preservative applied
and the underfloor protection checked before
and after the cold weather season.
After washing your vehicle, wipe off all wa-
terdrops from the rubber parts around the
doors to prevent the doors from freezing.

NOTE

To prevent freezing of the weatherstripping
on the doors, bonnet, etc., they should be
treated with silicone spray.

Waxing

E00901000863

Waxing the vehicle will help prevent the ad-
herence of dust and road chemicals to the
paintwork. Apply a wax solution after wash-
ing the vehicle, or at least once every three
months to assist displacing of water.
Do not wax your vehicle in direct sunlight.
You should wax after the surfaces have
cooled.

CAUTION

Waxes containing high abrasive compounds
should not be used. Such waxes remove rust
and stains effectively from the paintwork but
they are harmful to the lustre on the painted
surface and the plated surface.
Further, they are harmful to glossy surfaces
such as grille, garnish, mouldings, etc.

Do not use petrol or paint thinners to remove
road tar or other contamination to the pain-
ted surface.

Do not apply wax to sections that have a
black mat paint coating, as doing so could
cause uneven discolouration, spots or stains.
If wax gets on such areas, wipe it off using
lukewarm water and a soft cloth.

Polishing

E00901100066

The vehicle should only be polished if the
paintwork has become stained or lost its lus-
tre. Do not polish parts with a mat coating
and the plastic bumpers. Doing so could
cause stains or damage the finish.

Cleaning plastic parts

E00901300707

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.

CAUTION

Do not use a scrubbing brush or other hard
tools as they may damage the plastic part
surface.

Do not use wax containing compound (pol-
ishing powder) which may damage the plas-
tic part surface.

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 then
immediately rinse the affected parts with
water.

Chrome parts

E00901400098

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*

E00901500347

1. Remove dirt using a sponge while sprin-

kling water on the vehicle.

2. Use neutral detergent on any dirt that

cannot be removed easily with water.
Rinse off the neutral detergent after
washing the vehicle.

3. Dry the vehicle thoroughly using a cha-

mois leather or a soft cloth.

CAUTION

Do not use a brush or other hard implement
on the wheels.
Doing so could scratch the wheels.

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.

Do not directly apply hot water using a
steam cleaner or by any other means.

Contact with seawater and road deicer can
cause corrosion. Rinse off such substances
as soon as possible.

Window glass

E00901600117

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 a cloth that is used for cleaning a
painted surface to clean a window. Wax from
the painted surface could get on the glass and
lower glass transparency and visibility.

NOTE

To clean the inside of the rear window, al-
ways use a soft cloth and wipe the window
glass along the demister heater element so as
not to cause damage.

Wiper blades

E00901700062

Use a soft cloth and glass cleaner to remove
grease, dead insects, etc., from the wiper
blades. Replace the wiper blades when they
no longer wipe properly. (Refer to page
10-17.)

Engine compartment

E00902100308

Clean the engine compartment at the begin-
ning and end of winter. Pay particular atten-
tion to flanges, crevices and peripheral parts
where dust containing road chemicals and
other corrosive materials might collect.
If salt and other chemicals are used on the
roads in your area, clean the engine compart-
ment at least every three months.
Never spray or splash water on the electrical
components in the engine compartment, as
this may cause damage.
Do not bring the nearby parts, the plastic
parts and so on into contact with sulphuric
acid (battery electrolyte) which may crack,
stain or discolour them.

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 the
range indicated.

7. If the oil level is below the specified

limit, remove the cap located on the cyl-
inder head cover and add enough oil to
raise the level to within the specified
range. Do not overfill to avoid engine
damage. Be sure to use the specified en-
gine oil and do not mix various types of
oil.

8. After adding oil, close the cap securely.
9. Confirm the oil level by repeating step 4

to 6.

CAUTION

In diesel-powered vehicles, when burning
away and removing soot accumulated in the
DPF, fuel can mix with the engine oil and an
increase in the engine oil level may occur.
This does not indicate an abnormality.
However, if the engine oil level is at or over
the “X” mark (B) on the engine oil dipstick
(A), change the engine oil.

Engine coolant

E01000503437

To check the coolant level

A transparent coolant reserve tank (A) is lo-
cated in 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.

Except for diesel-powered vehicles 1600 models

FULL

LOW

Diesel-powered vehicles 1600 models

FULL

LOW

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 (B) and add coolant
until the level reaches the filler neck.

WARNING

Do not open the radiator cap (B) while the
engine is hot. The coolant system is under
pressure and any hot coolant escaping
could cause severe burns.

Anti-freeze

The engine coolant contains an ethylene gly-
col anti-corrosion agent. Some parts of the
engine are cast aluminium alloy, and periodic
changing of the engine coolant is necessary
to prevent corrosion of these parts.

Engine coolant

OGAE18E1

Maintenance

Except for diesel-powered 1600

models

Use “MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE
SUPER LONG LIFE COOLANT PREMI-
UM” or equivalent*.
*: similar high quality ethylene glycol based
non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrate and non-
borate coolant with long life hybrid organic
acid technology.

MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE Coolant
has excellent protection against corrosion and
rust formation of all metals including alumi-
nium and can avoid blockages in the radiator,
heater, cylinder head, engine block, etc.

Diesel-powered 1600 models

Use “ALTECO Freecor DSC, BASF Glysan-
tin Alu Protect Premium/G30 or G33, or Bru-
garolas Bradol 497”.

This coolant has excellent protection against
corrosion and rust formation of all metals in-
cluding aluminium and can avoid clogs in the
radiator, heater, cylinder head, engine block,
etc.
Because of the necessity of this anti-corro-
sion agent, the coolant must not be replaced
with plain water even in summer.

Because of the necessity of this anti-corro-
sion agent, the coolant must not be replaced
with plain water even in summer. The re-
quired concentration of anti-freeze differs de-
pending on the expected ambient tempera-
ture.

Above -35 °C: 50 % concentration of anti-
freeze
Below -35 °C: 60 % concentration of anti-
freeze

CAUTION

Do not use alcohol or methanol anti-freeze
or any engine coolants mixed with alcohol
or methanol anti-freeze. The use of an im-
proper anti-freeze can cause corrosion of the
aluminium components.

Do not use water to adjust the concentration
of coolant.

Concentrations exceeding 60 % will result in
a reduction of both the anti-freeze and cool-
ing performance thus adversely affecting the
engine.

Do not top up with water only.
Water by itself reduces the rust-protective
and anti-freeze qualities of the coolant and
has a lower boiling point. It can also cause
damage to the cooling system if it should
freeze. Do not use tapwater, as it can cause
corrosion and rust formation.

During cold weather

If the temperatures in your area drop below
freezing, there is the danger that the coolant
in the engine or radiator could freeze and
cause severe damage to the engine and/or ra-
diator. Add a sufficient amount of anti-freeze
to the coolant to prevent it from freezing.
The concentration should be checked before
the start of cold weather and anti-freeze add-
ed to the system if necessary.

Washer fluid

E01000702227

Open the washer fluid reservoir cap and
check the level of washer fluid with the dip-
stick.
If the level is low, replenish the container
with washer fluid.

NOTE

The washer fluid container serves the wind-
screen, rear window and headlamps (if so
equipped).

During cold weather

To ensure proper operation of the washers at
low temperatures, use a fluid containing an
anti-freezing agent.

Brake fluid/Clutch fluid*

E01000801902

The brake fluid and the clutch fluid share the
reservoir tank.

To check the fluid level

The fluid level must be between the “MAX”
and “MIN” marks on the reservoir.

The fluid level is monitored by a float. When
the fluid level falls below the “MIN” mark,
the brake fluid warning lamp lights up.
The fluid level falls slightly with wear of the
brake pads, but this does not indicate any ab-
normality.

The fluid in the master cylinder should be
checked when doing other work under the
bonnet. The brake system should also be
checked for leakage at the same time.
If the 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 performance.

WARNING

Take care in handling brake fluid as it is
harmful to the eyes, may irritate your
skin and will damage painted surfaces.
Wipe up spills immediately. If brake fluid
gets on your hands or in your eyes, flush
immediately with clean water. Follow up
with a doctor as necessary.

CAUTION

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.

Keep the reservoir tank cap closed to pre-
vent the brake fluid from deteriorating ex-
cept maintenance.

Clean the filler cap before removing and
close the cap securely after maintenance.

Battery

E01001203646

The condition of the battery is very important
for quick starting and to keep the vehicle’s
electrical system working properly. Regular
inspection and care are especially important
in cold weather.

eral changes in speed.

Checking battery electrolyte

level

Except for diesel-powered vehicles 1600 models

Diesel-powered 1600 models

The electrolyte level must be between the
specified limit on the outside of the battery.
Replenish with distilled water as necessary.
The inside of the battery is divided into sev-
eral compartments; remove the cap from each
compartment and fill to the upper mark. Do
not top up beyond the upper mark because
spillage during driving could cause damage.
Check the electrolyte level at least once every
4 weeks, depending on the operating condi-
tions.
If the battery is not used, it will discharge by
itself with time.
Check it once every 4 weeks and charge with
low current as necessary.

NOTE

Except for diesel-powered 1600 models, to
replenish with the distilled water, remove
the upper cover and duct.

During cold weather

E01010900068

The capacity of the battery is reduced at low
temperatures. This is an inevitable result of
its chemical and physical properties.
This is why a very cold battery, particularly
one that is not fully charged, will only deliver
a fraction of the starter current which is nor-
mally available.
We recommend you to have the battery
checked before the start of cold weather and,
if necessary, have it charged or replaced.
This does not only ensure reliable starting,
but a battery which is kept fully charged also
has a longer life.
