2004 MITSUBISHI L200 clutch

MAINTENANCE
Power steering fluid*EM09A-Jd
Check the fluid level in the reservoir while
the engine is idling.
Unscrew the reservoir cap; the level in this
tank should be kept between the “MAX”
and “MIN” lines.
Use “ATF DEXRON III or DEXRON II”.To replace the fluid
Recommended brake fluid conforming to
DOT 3 or DOT 4 should be used.
The reservoir cap must be fully tightened
to avoid contamination from foreign matter
or moisture.
DO NOT ALLOW PETROLEUM-BASED
FLUID TO CONTACT, MIX WITH, OR
OTHERWISE CONTAMINATE THE
BRAKE FLUID. SEAL DAMAGE WILL
RESULT.
WARNINGTake care in handling brake fluid as
it is harmful to the eyes and may
also cause damage to painted sur-
faces. Wipe up any spills immedi-
ately.
Clutch fluid*EM10A-Eg
To check the clutch fluid
The clutch fluid in the master cylinder
should be checked when performing other
underhood services. In addition, the sys-
tem should be checked for leakage at the
same time.
Check to make certain that the clutch fluid
level is always between the MAX and MIN
level markings on the fluid reservoir and
refill the fluid, if necessary.
A rapid fluid loss indicates a leak in the
clutch system which should be inspected
by your authorized MITSUBISHI dealer
and repaired immediately.

MAINTENANCE
Fuel, engine coolant, oil
and exhaust gas leakage
EM14A-Bd
Look under the body of your vehicle to
check for fuel, engine coolant, oil and
exhaust gas leaks.
WARNINGIf you see a suspicious fuel leak or if
you smell fuel, do not operate the
vehicle; call your authorized MIT-
SUBISHI dealer for assistance.
Exterior and interior lamp
operation
EM35A-Ad
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
lamp bulbs, refer to the section entitled
“For emergencies”.
If the fuses and bulbs are all OK, take the
vehicle to an authorized MITSUBISHI
dealer for inspection and repair.
Meter, gauge and
indication/warning lamp
operation
Run the engine to check the operation of
all meters, gauges, and indication/warning
lamps.
If there is anything wrong, take the vehicle
to an authorized MITSUBISHI dealer for
inspection.
Clutch pedal free play*EM17A-Ya
Press down the clutch pedal with your
fingers until initial resistance is felt.
This distance should be within the speci-
fied range.
A - Free play 6 to 13 mm
If the clutch pedal free play is outside the
standard range, have the clutch pedal ad-
justed at an authorized MITSUBISHI
dealer.
