If the fluid level falls markedly in a short length of
time, it indicates leaks from the clutch system.
If this occurs,
we recommend you to have the vehi-
cle checked.
Fluid type
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. WARNING
l Take
care
in
handling brake fluid as it is
harmful to the eyes, may irritate your
skin and also damage painted surfaces.
Wipe up any spills immediately. Power steering fluid
E01001100484
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 top up the flu-
id, if necessary. Fluid type
Use “Genuine
MITSUBISHI
Power Steering Flu-
id” or “ATF DEXRON III/DEXRON II”. Battery
E01001201772
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 of 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. Maintenance
