4. Check the coolant level in the reservoir
(D).
While the motor is cold, the coolant level
must always be between the “F (FULL)”
and the “L (LOW)” marks. If necessary,
add coolant. Refer to “To add coolant” on
page 9-6.
5. Reinstall the electric motor unit room lid
and the luggage room floor carpet by fol-
lowing the removal procedures in reverse.
The reservoir (A) is located under the hood.
The coolant level in this reservoir should be
kept between the “F (FULL)” and the “L
(LOW)” marks when measured while the
electric motor is cold. If necessary, add cool-
ant. Refer to “To add coolant” on page 9-6.

Mitsubishi Motors Genuine Coolant provides
excellent protection against corrosion and
rust formation on all metals, including alumi-
num.
If you need to add coolant often, the cooling
system should be pressure-tested for leaks.
Take your vehicle to a certified i-MiEV
dealer for testing.
WARNING
 Never touch components inside the elec-
tric motor unit room except the reservoir
(D).

CAUTION
 Do not use alcohol or methanol antifreeze or
any coolants that contain them. Using the
wrong antifreeze can corrode aluminum
parts.
 The required concentration of anti-freeze dif-
fers depending on the expected ambient tem-
perature.
Above -31 °F (-35 °C): 50 % concentration
of anti-freeze
Below -31 °F (-35 °C): 60 % concentration
of anti-freeze
You can check the concentration level with a
gauge from an automotive supply store, or a
certified i-MiEV dealer or service station can
check it for you.
 Do not use water to adjust the concentration
of coolant.
 Do not top off the tank with plain water only.
Water by itself boils at a lower temperature
and does not stop rust or freezing. If the
water freezes, it will damage your cooling
system. Do not use tap water. It can cause
corrosion and rust.
