MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE Coolant
has excellent protection against corrosion and
rust formation of all metals including alumin-
ium 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
If the temperatures in your area drop below
freezing, there is the danger that the coolant
in the engine, plug-in hybrid EV system or
radiator could freeze and cause severe dam-
age to the engine and/or radiator. Add a suffi-
cient 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
added to the system if necessary.

Open the washer fluid reservoir cap and
check the level of washer fluid with the dip-
stick.
If the level is low, replenish the container
with washer fluid.
To ensure proper operation of the washers at
low temperatures, use a fluid containing an
anti-freezing agent.
E01000801696
The fluid level must be between the “MAX”
and “MIN” marks on the reservoir.

non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrate and
non-borate coolant with long life hybrid
organic acid technology
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 alu-
minium components.
 Do not use water to adjust the concentration
of coolant.
 Concentrations exceeding 60 % will result in
a reduction of both the anti-freeze and cool-
ing performance thus adversely affecting the
engine.
 Do not top up with water only.
Water by i tself re duces 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.

equipped).
