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
l 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.
Use “MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE
SUPER LONG LIFE COOLANT PREMI-
UM” or equivalent*.
*: similar high quality ethylene glycol
based non-silicate, nonamine, non-ni-
trate 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.
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
l 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.
l Do not use water to adjust the concentration
of coolant.
l
Concentrations exceeding 60 % will result in
a reduction of both the anti-freeze and cool-
ing performance thus adversely affecting the
engine.
CAUTION
l 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.
