Engine coolant

To check the coolant level
A translucent coolant reserve tank is located in the engine com-
partment.
The coolant level in this tank should be kept between the
"LOW" and "FULL" marks when measured while the engine is
cold.

8-10
To add coolant
The cooling system is a closed system and normally the loss of
E01000501042
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 and add coolant until the level reaches the filler neck.
WARNING
!
● 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 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.
