To add coolant (Petrol-powered vehicles)
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 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, remove the radia-
tor cap (B) and add coolant until the level reaches the filler
neck.
Anti-freeze
The 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 Coolant has excellent protection
against corrosion and rust formation of all metals including
aluminium and can avoid blockages in the radiator, heater, cyl-
inder head, engine block, etc.
Because of the necessity of this anti-corrosion agent, the cool-
ant must not be replaced with plain water even in summer. The
required concentration of anti-freeze differs depending on the
expected ambient temperature.
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.

CAUTION
!
●
Do not use alcohol or methanol anti-freeze or any
engine coolants mixed with alcohol or methanol
anti-freeze. The use of an improper anti-freeze can
cause corrosion of the aluminium components.
●
For effective anti-corrosion and anti-freeze per-
formance, keep the anti-freeze concentration within
the range of 30 to 60%.
Concentrations exceeding 60% will result in a
reduction of both the anti-freeze and cooling per-
formance 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 boil-
ing 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.
