WARNING
l
Do not open the radiator cap 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 glycol an-
ti-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.
Use “MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE SUPER
LONG LIFE COOLANT PREMIUM” or equiva-
lent*.
*: 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 for-
mation of all metals including aluminium and can
avoid blockages 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
ambient temperature.
Above -35 °C: 50 % concentration of anti-freeze
Below -35 °C: 60 % concentration of anti-freeze
CAUTION
l
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 cor-
rosion of the aluminium components.
l
Do not use water to adjust the concentra-
tion of coolant.
l
Concentrations exceeding 60 % will re-
sult in a reduction of both the anti-freeze
and cooling performance thus adversely
affecting the engine.
l
Do not top up with water only.
During cold weather
The engine coolant mixture used at the factory pro-
vides protection against freezing for temperatures
as low as approximately -35 °C. The concentration
should be checked before the start of cold weather
and anti-freeze added to the system if necessary to
prevent damage to engine and radiator due to freez-
ing.
AWC control fluid
E01009700011
To check the fluid level
Remove the lid on the trunk room right side trim.
Check the fluid level in the reservoir 90 minutes or
more after turning the ignition switch to the
“LOCK” position.
Check to make certain that the AWC control fluid
level is always between the “MAX” and “MIN”
level markings on the fluid reservoir and refill the
fluid, if necessary.
