Coolant/Hot water heater fluid
9-6 Vehicle care and maintenance
9
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.
N00955800010
The reservoir cap (E) must be tightly sealed
to prevent losing coolant which may result in
electric motor or nearby parts of the room
under the hood damage. Only use a Genuine
Mitsubishi Parts reservoir cap, or an
approved equivalent.
N00955700019
Do not overfill the reservoir.
Your vehicle uses a special reservoir cap
that stays sealed and keeps the pressure in
the reservoir below the allowable pres-
sure. If you need to change the cap, use
the exact same kind.
Check the coolant freeze point in the radi-
ator with the proper gauge, and only when
it is safe. If you add antifreeze, the con-
tents of the reservoir must be protected
against freezing.
Keep the front of the radiator and con-
denser clean.
To add coolant
Use “Mitsubishi Motors Genuine Super Long
Life Coolant Premium” or an equivalent*.
*: similar high quality ethylene glycol
based non-silicate, non-amine, non-
nitrate and non-borate coolant with long
life hybrid organic acid technology
FULL
LOW
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.

WARNING
Wait for the electric motor to cool down
before opening the reservoir cap. Other-
wise hot steam or boiling coolant could
spray up from the reservoir and scald you.
