Rear window washer fluid
E01006500063
1. Remove the rear
window washer fluid reser-
voir filler port lid (A) on the backdoor. 2. Pull out the rear window washer fluid reser-
voir filler

port (B) and check the washer flu-
id level.
If the level is low, replenish the container
with washer fluid. During cold weather
E01006600019
To ensure proper

operation of the washers at low
temperatures, use a fluid containing an anti-freez-
ing agent. Brake fluid
E01000900847
To check the fluid level
The brake fluid
level is monitored by a float. When
the brake fluid level falls below the “MIN” mark,
the brake fluid warning lamp lights up.

The brake fluid level must be between the “MAX”
and “MIN” marks on the reservoir.

RHD If the level is below the “MIN” mark, check accord-
ing to the following procedure:Maintenance

OBKE12E1

1. Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” or
“ACC” position.
2. Repeatedly
depress the brake pedal until sig-
nificant resistance is felt (normally after
about 40 times).
3. Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir. The brake fluid level must be between the
“MAX” and “MIN” marks on the reservoir.
The fluid level falls slightly with wear of the brake
pads, but this does not indicate any abnormality.
If the brake fluid level falls markedly in a short
length of time, it indicates leaks from the brake sys-
tem.
If this occurs, we recommend you to have the vehi-
cle checked.
Fluid type
Use brake fluid conforming to DOT3 or DOT4
from a sealed container. The brake fluid is hygro-
scopic. Too much moisture in the brake fluid will
adversely affect the brake system, reducing the
brake performance. CAUTION
l
Take care
in
handling brake fluid as it is
harmful to the eyes, may irritate your
skin and also damage painted surfaces.
l Use only the specified brake fluid.
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. CAUTION
l
Keep the reservoir tank cap closed to pre-
vent the brake

fluid from deteriorating ex-
cept maintenance.
l Clean the filler cap before removing and
close the cap securely after maintenance. Clutch fluid*
E01001000193
To check the fluid level
The clutch fluid

in the master cylinder should be
checked when performing other underhood service.
In addition, the system should be checked for leak-
age at the same time.
Check to ensure that the clutch fluid level is always
between the “MAX” and “MIN” level markings on
the fluid reservoir.

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

Wheel condition
E010018004781- Location of the tread wear indicator
2- Tread wear indicator
Check the
tyres for cuts, cracks and other damage.
Replace the tyres if there are deep cuts or cracks.
Also check each tyre for pieces of metal or pebbles.
The use of worn tyres can be very dangerous be-
cause of the greater chance of skidding or hydro-
planing. 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 surface of
the tyre as the tyre wears, thereby indicating that
the tyre no longer meets the minimum requirement
for use. When these wear indicators appear, the
tyres must be replaced with new ones.
When replacement of any of the tyres is necessary,
replace all of them. CAUTION
l
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 increase the differ-
ential oil temperature, resulting in possi-
ble damage to the driving system. Fur-
ther, the drive train will be subjected to
excessive loading, possibly leading to oil
leakage, component seizure, or other seri-
ous faults.
Replacing tyres and wheels E01007200429 CAUTION
l
Avoid using different
size tyres from the
one listed and the combined use of differ-
ent types of tyres, as this can affect driv-
ing safety. Refer to “Tyres and wheels”
on page 9-12.
l Even if a wheel has the same rim size and
offset as the specified type of wheel, its
shape may prevent it from being fitted cor-
rectly. We recommend you to consult a
specialist before using wheels that you
have.
Wheel balance
On vehicles equipped

with 17x7 1/2J size alumini-
um wheels (round rim type), if you need to balance
a wheel, put the balance weight (A) on the speci-
fied position which is spoke side from the notch
(B) on the inner surface of the wheel. There is a possibility that the balance weight is in-
terfered the
related

brake part if it is put any place
other than the specified position.
For details, we recommend you to consult a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point. Tyre rotation
E01001901203
Tyre wear varies with vehicle conditions, road sur-
face conditions and

individual driver’s driving hab-
its. To equalize the wear and help extend tyre life,
it is recommended to rotate the tyres immediately
after discovery of abnormal wear, or whenever the
wear difference between the front and rear tyres is
recognizable. Maintenance

265/60R18 110H 18 x 7 1/2 JThe speed limit for tyre chain is 50 km/h (30 mph)
and
remove
the tyre chains as soon as possible on
snow free roads. CAUTION
l
As your vehicle is equipped with anti-lock
brake system
(ABS),

in order to ensure
that the anti-lock brake system (ABS)
will operate correctly in situations where
tyre chains have been fitted, drive in
“4H”, “4HLc” or “4LLc”.
l Practice fitting the chains before you
need them.
Don’t expect help from other people in
the cold.
l Choose a clear straight stretch of road
where you can pull over and still be seen
while you are fitting the chains.
l Do not fit chains before you need them.
This will wear out your tyres and the
road surface.
l After driving around 100-300 metres,
stop and retighten the chains. CAUTION
l
Drive carefully and
do not exceed
50 km/h (30 mph). Remember, fitting
chains is not going to stop accidents from
happening.
l When tyre chains are installed, take care
that they do not damage the disc wheel or
body.
l An aluminium wheel can be damaged by
a tyre chain while driving. When fitting a
tyre chain on an aluminium wheel, take
care that any part of the chain and fitting
cannot be brought into contact with the
wheel.
l When installing or removing the tyre
chains, take care that hands and other
parts of your body are not injured by the
sharp edges of the vehicle body.
NOTE l The
laws and

regulations concerning the use
of tyre chains vary. Always follow local laws
and regulations.
In most countries, it is prohibited by law to
use tyre chains on roads without snow. Parking brake break-in
E01008300010
Break-in the parking

brake linings whenever the
brake performance of the parking brake is insuffi-
cient or whenever the parking brake linings and/or
discs are replaced, in order to assure the best brake
performance.
This procedure is described in the vehicle service
manual and can be carried out by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point. Maintenance
