The windshield and rear 
 window washer fluid 
reservoir is in the engine compartment. 
Check the washer fluid  
level at regular inter- 
vals and add washer fluid to reservoir if nec-essary. Open the reservoir cap and check the fluid level with the dipstick. When freezing weather is anticipated, flush out the water in the reservoir by operating thepump. Fill the reservoir with windshield anti- freeze (not radiator  
antifreeze), and operate 
the system for a few se 
conds to flush out the 
residual water.
N00938701271
Check the fluid level in the reservoir.The 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 fluid level falls se 
aled tight in a short 
length of time, it indi 
cates leaks from the 
brake system. If this occurs, have the vehicle checked by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or arepair facility of your choice. Use the recommended brake fluid conform- ing to DOT 3 or DOT  
4. The reservoir cap 
must be tightly sealed to keep dirt and water out.
