2013 MITSUBISHI L200 brake fluid

Washer fluidE01000700672
The windscreen washer fluid reservoir is in the en-
gine compartment.
Check the washer fluid level at regular intervals
and add washer fluid to reservoir if necessary.
NOTE
l The washer fluid container serves the wind-
screen and headlamps (if so equipped).
During cold weather
To ensure proper operation of the washers at low
temperatures, use a fluid containing an anti-freez-
ing agent.
Brake fluid E01000900687
To check the fluid level
Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir.
The brake fluid level must be between the “MAX”
and “MIN” marks on the reservoir.
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 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.
The brake fluid is hygroscopic. Too much moisture
in the brake fluid will adversely affect the brake sys-
tem, reducing the brake performance.
In addition, the brake fluid reservoir is equipped
with a special cap to prevent the entrance of air,
and this cap should not be removed.CAUTIONl 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.
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.

age at the same time.

ings on the fluid reservoir.A rapid fluid loss indicates a leak in the clutch sys-
tem which should be inspected by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point or another spe-
cialist and repaired immediately.
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.

harmful to the eyes and may also cause
damage to painted surfaces. Wipe up any
spills immediately.Power steering fluid E01001101159
