The radiator cap must be tight sealed to pre-
vent losing coolant which may result in
engine damage. Only use a Genuine Mitsubi-
shi Parts radiator cap, or an approved equiva-
lent.
 Do not overfill the reserve tank.
 Your vehicle uses a special radiator cap
that stays sealed and lets the coolant flow
from the reserve tank back to the radiator
when the engine cools down. If you need
to change the cap, use the exact same
kind.
 Check the coolant freeze point in the radi-
ator with the proper gauge, and only when
it is safe. If you add antifreeze, the con-
tents of the reserve tank must be protected
against freezing.
 Keep the front of the radiator and con-
denser clean.
 If the temperature of the engine coolant
does not rise after the engine is warmed-
up, take your vehicle to an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facil-
ity of your choice to have the thermostat
checked, and replaced if necessary.

The air cleaner filter will get dirty and dusty
from use and not filter properly. Replace it
with a new filter using the schedule in the
“WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE
MANUAL”.
1. Remove the clips (A), then remove the
duct (B).
2. While holding down the tab (C), pull out
the connector (D).
 The required concentration of anti-freeze dif-
fers depending on the expected ambient tem-
perature.
Above -31 °F (-35 °C) : 50 % concentration
of anti-freeze
Below -31 °F (-35 °C) : 60% concentration
of anti-freeze
You can check the concentration level with a
gauge from an automotive supply store, or
your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or
service station can check it for you.
 Do not use water to adjust the concentration
of coolant.
 Do not top off the tank with plain water only.
Water by itself boils at a lower temperature
and does not stop rust or freezing. If the
water freezes, it will damage your cooling
system. Do not use tapwater. It can cause
corrosion and rust.
Radiator cap
CAUTION WARNING
 Wait for the engine to cool down before
opening the radiator cap. Otherwise hot
steam or boiling coolant could spray up
from the radiator and scald you.
