NOTElThe washer fluid container serves the wind-
screen, rear window and headlamps (if soequipped).
During cold weather
To ensure proper operation of the washers at
low temperatures, use a fluid containing ananti-freezing agent.
Brake fluid/Clutch fluid*
E01000800631
The brake fluid and the clutch fluid share thereservoir tank.
To check the fluid level
The fluid level must be between the “MAX” and “MIN” marks on the reservoir.
The fluid level is monitored by a float. When
the 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 ab-
normality.
The fluid in the master cylinder should be checked when doing other work under thebonnet. The brake system should also be checked for leakage at the same time.
If the fluid level falls markedly in a short length of time, it indicates leaks from the
brake system.
If this occurs, we recommend you to have the
vehicle checked.
Fluid type
Use brake fluid conforming to DOT3 or DOT4 from a sealed container. The brake
fluid is hygroscopic. Too much moisture in the brake fluid will adversely affect the brake
system, reducing the performance.
CAUTIONl Take care in handling brake fluid as it is
harmful to the eyes, may irritate your skin
and also damage painted surfaces.CAUTIONl 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.Battery
E01001202229
The condition of the battery is very important
for quick starting and to keep the vehicle’s electrical system working properly. Regularinspection and care are especially importantin cold weather.

Fuel, engine coolant, oil and ex- haust gas leakage
Look under the body of your vehicle to check
for fuel, engine coolant, oil and exhaust gas
leaks.
WARNINGl If you see a suspicious fuel leak or if you
smell fuel, do not operate the vehicle; call
your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point for assistance.
Exterior and interior lamp op-
eration
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 “Fuses” on page 10-19 and “Re-
placement of lamp bulbs” on page 10-25.
If the fuses and bulbs are all OK, we recom-
mend you to have your vehicle checked and
repaired.
Meter, gauge and indicator/warning lamps operation
Start the engine and check the operation of all instruments, gauges and indication andwarning lamps.
If there is anything wrong, we recommend you to have your vehicle inspected.
Hinges and latches lubrication
Check all latches and hinges, and, if necessa- ry, have them lubricated.
For cold and snowy weather
E01002800361
Ventilation slots
The ventilation slots in front of the wind-
screen should be kept clear of leaves or brushed clear after heavy snowfall, so that
the operation of the heating and ventilation
systems will not be impaired.

1.Insert a straight blade (or minus) screw-
driver into the notch of the fuse lid and pry gently to remove it.
2. To put back the fuse lid, line up the fuse
lid hook (A) with the clamp (B) on the
instrument panel and push the lid back in.

l Some fuses may not be installed on your
vehicle, depending on the vehicle model
or specifications.
l The table above shows the main equip-
ment corresponding to each fuse.
The fuse box does not contain spare 7.5 A ,
25 A or 30 A fuses. If one of these fuses burns out, substitute with the following fuse.7.5 A: 10 A spare fuse
25 A: 20 A spare fuse
30 A: 30 A audio system amp fuse
When using a substitute fuse, replace with a
fuse of the correct capacity as soon as possi- ble.

1. Before replacing a fuse, always turn off
the electrical circuit concerned and turn
the ignition switch to the “LOCK” posi-
tion or put the operation mode in OFF.
2. Remove the fuse puller (A) from the in-
side of the fuse box in the engine com-
partment.
3. Referring to the fuse load capacity table,
check the fuse pertaining to the problem.
B- Fuse is OK
C- Blown fuse
NOTEl If any system does not function but the fuse
corresponding to that system is normal, theremay be a fault in the system elsewhere. We recommend you to have your vehiclechecked.
4. Use the fuse puller to insert a new fuse
with the same capacity. Make sure you
insert the fuse into the same location in
the fuse block.
CAUTIONl If the newly inserted fuse blows again after a
short time, we recommend you to have the electrical system checked to find the causeand rectify it.
l Never use a fuse with a larger capacity than
specified or a substitute (such as a cable or
foil). Doing so could cause the circuit wires
to overheat and create a fire.Replacement of lamp bulbs
E01003100488
Before replacing a bulb, ensure the lamp isoff. Do not touch the glass part of the new
bulb with your bare fingers; the skin oil left
on the glass will evaporate when the bulb gets hot and the vapour will condense on the
reflector and dim the surface.

OGAE14E1Maintenance10

CAUTIONlBulbs are extremely hot immediately after
being turned off.
When replacing a bulb, wait for it to cool
sufficiently before touching it. You could otherwise be burnt.NOTEl If you are unsure of how to carry out the
work as required, we recommend you to consult a specialist.
l Be careful not to scratch the vehicle body
when removing a lamp or lens.
l When it rains or when the vehicle has been
washed, the inside of the lens sometimes be-
comes foggy. This is the same phenomenon as when window glass mists up on a humid
day, and does not indicate a functional prob- lem.
When the lamp is switched on, the heat will
remove the fog. However, if water gathers inside the lamp, we recommend you to havethe lamp checked.Bulb capacity

When replacing a bulb, use a new bulb with
the same wattage and colour.

Codes in parentheses indicate bulb types.
WARNINGl Always consult a specialist when repair-
ing or replacing the bulbs of high intensi- ty discharge headlamps.
This is because the power circuit, bulbs
and electrodes generate a high voltage
that could cause an electric shock.NOTEl An LED, not a bulb, is used in the side turn-
signal lamp (on outside rear-view mirror).
Contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
