Service precautions  
Adequate care of your vehicle at regular in-  
tervals serves to preserve the value and ap-  
pearance as long as possible.  
Maintenance items as described in this own-  
er’s manual can be performed by the owner.  
We recommend you to have the periodic in-  
spection and maintenance performed by a  
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service  
Point or another specialist.  
WARNING  
Before performing inspection or mainte-  
l
nance, be sure to disconnect the normal  
charge connector from the vehicle and  
confirm that the operation mode of the  
power switch is set to “OFF”.  
Never touch the high-voltage parts in the  
l
engine compartment. Never remove or  
disassemble the high-voltage components,  
cables (orange) or connectors. Also, never  
disassemble normal charging cables, nor-  
mal charge connector, plugs or outlet.

If it is necessary to do work in the engine  
compartment with the plug-in hybrid EV  
system starting, be especially careful that  
your clothing, hair, etc., does not become  
caught by the cooling fans, drive belts, or  
other moving parts.  
After performing the maintenance, make  
sure that no tools or cloths are left behind  
in the engine compartment. If they are left  
behind, a fire or damage to the vehicle  
may occur.  
The cooling fans can turn on automatical-  
ly even if the plug-in hybrid EV system is  
stopping. Put the operation mode of the  
power switch in OFF to be safe while you  
work in the engine compartment.  
Make sure that the engine and Plug-in  
Hybrid EV system has cooled down be-  
fore removing the radiator cap and EV  
cooling system reserve tank cap, because  
hot steam or boiling water will otherwise  
gush from the filler port and may scald  
you.  
Improper handling of components and  
materials used in the vehicle can endanger  
your personal safety. We recommend you  
to consult a specialist for necessary infor-  
mation.  
l
l
l
The exhaust gas scavenging devices used  
with the catalytic converter are extremely ef-  
ficient for the reduction of noxious gases.  
The catalytic converter is installed in the ex-  
haust system.  
It is important to keep the engine properly  
tuned to ensure proper catalyst operation and  
prevent possible catalyst damage.  
The components inside the engine room  
might be very hot to the touch.

To avoid being burnt, make sure all com-  
ponents have sufficiently cooled before be-  
ginning an inspection. These components  
are affixed with the label indicating pre-  
cautions for handling. Follow the instruc-  
tions on the label.  
WARNING  
As with any vehicle, do not park or oper-  
l
ate this vehicle in areas where combusti-  
ble materials such as dry grass or leaves  
can come in contact with a hot exhaust  
since a fire could occur.  
Paint should not be applied to the catalyt-  
ic converter.

Engine oil  
The engine oil used has a significant effect on  
the engine’s performance, service life and  
startability. Be sure to use oil of the recom-  
mended quality and appropriate viscosity.  
All engines consume a certain amount of oil  
during normal operation. Therefore, it is im-  
portant to check the oil level at regular inter-  
vals or before starting a long trip.  
1. Park the vehicle on a horizontal surface.  
2. Switch off the engine.  
NOTE  
NOTE  
For vehicles equipped with the security  
alarm system, if you drive with the bonnet  
left open, a warning display is displayed on  
the information screen in the multi informa-  
tion display.  
The engine oil will deteriorate rapidly if the  
vehicle is subjected to severe conditions, re-  
quiring earlier oil replacement.  
Please refer to the maintenance schedule.  
For information on how to dispose of used  
engine oil, refer to page 2-21.

Engine coolant/Plug-in hybrid EV system coolant  
The coolant level in this tank should be kept  
To add coolant  
NOTE  
between the “LOW” and “FULL” marks  
when measured while the engine and the  
plug-in hybrid EV system are cold.  
Use of additives is not recommended since  
they may reduce the effectiveness of addi-  
tives already included in the engine oil. It  
may result in failure of the mechanical as-  
sembly.  
l
The cooling system is a closed system and  
normally the loss of coolant should be very  
slight. A noticeable drop in the coolant level  
could indicate leakage. If this occurs, we rec-  
ommend 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 radiator cap (C) or the reserve  
tank cap (D) and add coolant until the level  
reaches the filler neck.  
To check the coolant level  
A transparent engine coolant reserve tank (A)  
and EV cooling system reserve tank (B) is lo-  
cated in the engine compartment.  
WARNING  
Do not open the radiator cap (C) and the  
l

Washer fluid  
Below -35 °C: 60 % concentration of anti-  
freeze  
The concentration should be checked before  
the start of cold weather and anti-freeze add-  
ed to the system if necessary.  
Anti-freeze  
The engine coolant and the plug-in hybrid  
EV system coolant contains an ethylene gly-  
col anti-corrosion agent. Some parts of the  
engine and the plug-in hybrid EV system are  
cast aluminium alloy, and periodic changing  
of the engine coolant and the plug-in hybrid  
EV system coolant are necessary to prevent  
corrosion of these parts.  
CAUTION  
Washer fluid  
Do not use alcohol or methanol anti-freeze  
l
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Do not top up with water only.  
l
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, 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.

Brake fluid  
The fluid level is monitored by a float. When  
the fluid level falls below the “MIN” mark,  
the brake fluid warning lamp lights up.  
The fluid level falls slightly with wear of the  
brake pads, but this does not indicate any ab-  
normality.  
WARNING  
Brake fluid  
Take care in handling brake fluid as it is  
harmful to the eyes, may irritate your  
skin and will damage painted surfaces.  
Wipe up any spills immediately.  
If brake fluid gets on your hand or in  
your eyes, flush immediately with clean  
water. Follow up with a doctor as necessa-  
ry.  
l
To check the fluid level  
The fluid level must be between the “MAX”  
and “MIN” marks on the reservoir.  
The fluid in the master cylinder should be  
checked when doing other work under the  
bonnet. The brake system should also be  
checked for leakage at the same time.  
If the fluid level falls markedly in a short  
length of time, it indicates leaks from the  
brake system.  
CAUTION  
Use only the specified brake fluid.  
l
Do not mix or add different brands of brake  
fluid to prevent chemical reactions.  
Do not let any petroleum-based fluid touch,  
mix with, or get into the brake fluid.  
This will damage the seals.  
Keep the reservoir tank cap closed to pre-  
vent the brake fluid from deteriorating ex-  
cept maintenance.  
If this occurs, we recommend you to have the  
vehicle checked.  
Fluid type  
l
l
11  
Use brake fluid conforming to DOT3 or  
DOT4 from a sealed container. The brake flu-  
id is hygroscopic. Too much moisture in the  
brake fluid will adversely affect the brake  
system, reducing the performance.  
Clean the filler cap before removing and  
close the cap securely after maintenance.  
Auxiliary battery  
The condition of the auxiliary battery is very  
important for quick starting of the plug-in hy-  
brid EV system and proper functioning of the  
vehicle’s electrical system. Regular inspec-  
tion is especially important in cold weather.  
Be sure to have a MITSUBISHI MOTORS  
Authorized Service Point check the auxiliary

Wheel condition  
CAUTION  
CAUTION  
Always use tyres of the same size, same  
type, and same brand, and which have no  
wear differences. Using tyres of different  
size, type, brands or degree of wear, will in-  
crease the differential oil temperature, result-  
ing in possible damage to the driving sys-  
tem. Further, the drive train will be subjected  
to excessive loading, possibly leading to oil  
leakage, component seizure, or other serious  
faults.  
As your vehicle is equipped with a tyre pres-  
sure monitoring system, only MITSUBISHI  
MOTORS GENUINE wheels should be  
used. Use of another type of wheel risks air  
leaks and sensor damage, as it will not be  
possible to install the tyre pressure sensor  
properly.

NOTE  
Replacing tyres and wheels  
A steel wheel with diameter of 16 inches  
cannot be used on your vehicle because it in-  
terferes with brake parts.  
Additionally, an aluminium wheel with di-  
ameter of 16 inches may not be used on your  
vehicle depending on its type, even if a  
MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE wheel.

types of tyres, as this can affect driving safe-  
ty.  
11  
Refer to “Tyres and wheels” on page 12-08.  
The use of worn tyres can be very dangerous  
because of the greater chance of skidding or  
hydroplaning. The tread depth of the tyres  
must exceed 1.6 mm in order for the tyres to  
meet the minimum requirement for use.  
Tread wear indicators will appear on the sur-  
face of the tyre as the tyre wears, thereby in-  
dicating that the tyre no longer meets the  
minimum requirement for use. When these  
wear indicators appear, the tyres must be re-  
placed with new ones.  
Even if a wheel has the same rim size and  
l
offset as the specified type of wheel, its  
shape may prevent it from being fitted cor-  
rectly. We recommend you to consult a spe-  
cialist before using wheels that you have.  
Tyre rotation  
Tyre wear varies with vehicle conditions,  
road surface conditions and individual driv-  
er’s driving habits. To equalize the wear and  
help extend tyre life, it is recommended to ro-  
tate the tyres immediately after discovery of  
abnormal wear, or whenever the wear differ-  
ence between the front and rear tyres is rec-  
ognizable.  
When replacement of any of the tyres is nec-  
essary, replace all of them.  
Maintenance  
11-11  
OGGE20E1  
Tyres  
When rotating tyres, check for uneven wear  
and damage. Abnormal wear is usually  
caused by incorrect tyre pressure, improper  
wheel alignment, out of balance wheel, or se-  
vere braking. We recommend you to have it  
checked to determine the cause of irregular  
tread wear.  
Snow tyres  
CAUTION  
The use of snow tyres is recommended for  
driving on snow and ice. To preserve driving  
stability, mount snow tyres of the same size  
and tread pattern on all 4 wheels.  
A snow tyre that is worn down more than  
50% is no longer appropriate to use.  
Snow tyres which do not meet specifications  
must not be used.  
If the tyres have arrows (A) indicating the  
correct direction of rotation, swap the front  
and rear tyres on the left-hand side of the ve-  
hicle and the front and rear tyres on the  
right-hand side of the vehicle separately.  
Keep each tyre on its original side of the ve-  
hicle. When fitting the tyres, make sure the  
arrows point in the direction in which the  
wheels will turn when the vehicle moves for-  
ward. Any tyre whose arrow points in the  
wrong direction will not perform to its full  
potential.

Fusible links  
The fusible links will melt to prevent a fire if  
a large current attempts to flow through cer-  
tain electrical systems.  
In case of a melted fusible link, we recom-  
mend you to have your vehicle inspected.  
For the fusible links, please refer to “Passen-  
ger compartment fuse location table” on page

Operate the combination lamp switch to  
check that all lamps are functioning properly.  
If the lamps do not illuminate, the probable  
cause is a blown fuse or defective lamp bulb.  
Check the fuses first. If there is no blown  
fuse, check the lamp bulbs.  
For information regarding the inspection and  
replacement of the fuses and the bulbs, refer  
to “Fuses” on page 11-16 and “Replacement

NOTE  
The fuse block does not contain spare 7.5 A

substitute with the following fuse.  
7.5 A: 10 A spare fuse

When using a substitute fuse, replace with a  
fuse of the correct capacity as soon as possi-  
ble.  
If any system does not function but the fuse  
corresponding to that system is normal, there  
may be a fault in the system elsewhere. We  
recommend you to have your vehicle  
checked.

4. Insert a new fuse of the same capacity  
by using the fuse puller into the same  
place in the fuse block.  
CAUTION  
Do not install commercially available LED-  
type bulbs.  
CAUTION  
Never hold the halogen lamp bulb with a  
bare hand, dirty glove, etc.  
l
l
Commercially available LED-type bulbs  
could adversely affect the operation of the  
vehicle, such as by preventing the lamps and  
other vehicle equipment from operating  
properly.  
The oil from your hand could cause the bulb  
to break the next time the headlamps are op-  
erated.  
If the glass surface is dirty, it must be  
cleaned with alcohol, paint thinner, etc., and  
refit it after drying thoroughly.  
Bulbs are extremely hot immediately after  
being turned off.  
l
l
When replacing a bulb, wait for it to cool  
sufficiently before touching it. You could  
otherwise be burnt.  
Handle halogen lamp bulbs with care. The  
gas inside a halogen lamp bulbs is highly  
pressurized, so dropping, knocking, or  
scratching a halogen lamp bulb can cause it  
to shatter.  
CAUTION  
If the newly inserted fuse blows again after a  
l
short time, we recommend you to have the  
electrical system checked to find the cause  
and rectify it.  
11  
NOTE  
Never use a fuse with a larger capacity than  
l
specified or a substitute (such as a cable or  
foil). Doing so could cause the circuit wires  
to overheat and create a fire.  
If you are unsure of how to carry out the  
work as required, we recommend you to  
consult a specialist.  
Be careful not to scratch the vehicle body  
when removing a lamp or lens.  
l
l
Replacement of lamp bulbs  
Before replacing a bulb, ensure the lamp is  
off. Do not touch the glass part of the new  
bulb with your bare fingers; the skin oil left  
on the glass will evaporate when the bulb  
gets hot and the vapour will condense on the  
reflector and dim the surface.
