2011 MITSUBISHI L200 power steering

Power steering fluidE01001100703
To check the fluid level
Check the fluid level in the reservoir while the en-
gine is idling.
Check to make certain that the power steering fluid
level is always between the “MAX” and “MIN” lev-
el markings on the fluid reservoir and refill the flu-
id, if necessary.
Fluid type
Use “ATF DEXRON III or DEXRON II”.
Battery E01001202144
The condition of the battery is very important for
quick starting of the engine and proper functioning
of the vehicle’s electrical system. Regular inspec-
tion and care are especially important in cold weath-
er.
NOTE l On vehicles equipped with 2 batteries, when
the batteries are replaced, the 2 batteries
should be replaced at the same time.
If only a battery is replaced, it will cause short-
ening the batteries life.
Checking battery electrolyte level
The electrolyte level must be between the specified
limit on the outside of the battery. Replenish with
distilled water as necessary.
The inside of the battery is divided into several com-
partments; remove the cap from each compartment
and fill to the upper mark. Do not top up beyond
the upper mark because spillage during driving
could cause damage.
Check the electrolyte level at least once every 4
weeks, depending on the operating conditions.
If the battery is not used, it will discharge by itself
with time.
Check it once every 4 weeks and charge with low
current as necessary.
During cold weather
The capacity of the battery is reduced at low tem-
peratures. This is an inevitable result of its chemi-
cal and physical properties.
This is why a very cold battery, particularly one
that is not fully charged, will only deliver a fraction
of the starter current which is normally available.
We recommend you to have the battery checked be-
fore the start of cold weather and, if necessary,
have it charged or replaced.
This does not only ensure reliable starting, but a bat-
tery which is kept fully charged also has a longer life.
Disconnection and connection
To disconnect the battery cable, stop the engine,
first disconnect the negative (-) terminal and then
the positive (+) terminal.
When connecting the battery, first connect the posi-
tive (+) terminal and then the negative (-) terminal.
NOTE l Open the terminal cover (A) before discon-
necting or connecting the positive (+) termi-
nal of the battery.
