WARNING
.
Never remove the radiator or coolant
reservoir cap when the engine and Plug-
in Hybrid EV system is hot. Wait until the
engine and Plug-in Hybrid EV system cool
down. Serious burns could be caused by
high pressure fluid escaping from the
10-4
Do-it-yourself
radiator. See precautions in "If your
vehicle overheats" (P.8-17) of this manual.
.
The radiator is equipped with a pressure
type radiator cap. To prevent engine and
Plug-in Hybrid EV system damage, use
only a genuine Mitsubishi Motors radiator
cap.
.
If the Plug-in Hybrid EV system was
stopped soon when the engine and Plug-
in Hybrid EV system is hot, the cooling fan
may operate for approximately 10 minutes
after the Plug-in Hybrid EV system was
stopped to cool the components in the
engine compartment. When the cooling fan
is operating, be sure that hands or other
Deminera-
items do not get caught in it.

.
Never use any cooling system additives
50 %
such as radiator sealer. Additives may clog
the cooling system and cause damage to
the engine, Plug-in Hybrid EV system and/
or cooling system.
.
When adding or replacing coolant, be sure
to use only Mitsubishi Motors genuine
Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) or
equivalent. Mitsubishi Motors genuine
Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) is
pre-diluted to provide antifreeze protec-
tion to -35°C. If additional freeze protec-
CAUTION
tion is needed due to weather where you
operate your vehicle, add Mitsubishi Mo-
tors genuine Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant
(blue) concentrate following the directions
on the container. If an equivalent coolant
other than Mitsubishi Motors genuine
Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) is
used, follow the coolant manufacture's
instructions to maintain minimum anti-
freeze protection to -35°C. The use of other
types of coolant solutions other than
Mitsubishi Motors genuine Long Life
Antifreeze/Coolant (blue) or equivalent
may damage the engine and Plug-in
Hybrid EV system cooling system.
.
The life expectancy of the factory-fill
coolant is 105,000 miles (168,000 km) or 7
years. Mixing any other type of coolant
other than Mitsubishi Motors genuine
Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant (blue), in-
cluding Mitsubishi Motors genuine Long
Life Antifreeze/Coolant (green), or the use
of non-distilled water will reduce the life
expectancy of the factory-fill coolant.
