Continuously variable transmission (CVT) fluid (if so equipped)

1. With the brake pedal fully depressed and the engine idling,
select each gear
momentarily, ending with the selectorlever in the “P” (PARK) position. 2. The fluid level should be at the HOT mark, but never a
bove the HOT mark
when the engine is warmed up. Add or drain fluid to get to the correct level. 3. Make certain that the dipstick cap is installed properly to
keep dirt and water
out of the transaxle.
Use only “Mitsubishi Motors Genuine ATF- J3” transaxle fluid to
ensure optimum trans-
axle performance. Mitsubishi Motors Cor
poration does not rec-
ommend the addition of
any fluid additives to
the transaxle.
N00938101103
The continuously variable transmission (CVT) should be maintained and serviced byan authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice to obtain the best performance and longest life. It is impor-tant that the transmission fluid is kept at the correct level.
Use only “Mitsubish
i Motors Genuine
CVTF-J4” transmission fluid to ensure opti- mum transmission performance. Do not use any fluid additives to the trans- mission.
N00938401281
Whenever the transfer oil level is checked,add oil as necessary to
maintain the proper
level. Fill with the oil according to the table below.
Procedure for checking the fluid level

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.

The condition of the batte
ry is very important
for quick starting and to keep the vehicle’selectrical system working properly. Check the battery regularly. If battery performance
is suspect, have the
battery and charging
system tested by an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility
of your choice.
The electrolyte level
must be between the
limits shown on the outside
of the battery. Fill
it with distilled water
as needed. The inside of
the battery is divided into several compart- ments. Take the cap off of each compartmentand fill to the mark. Do not fill above the t
op line because a spill
during driving could cause damage. The battery is weaker in cold temperatures. This has to do with its chemical and physicalproperties and is why a very cold battery, especially one with a lo
w charge, will have a
hard time starting your vehicle.It is recommended that you have your battery and charging system checked by an autho- rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair
facility of your choice
before the start of cold
weather. If necessary, have it charged. Thiswill provide more reliab
le starting, and longer
battery life. To disconnect the battery cable, stop the engine. Disconne
ct the negative (-) terminal
first, then the positive
(+) terminal. To recon-
nect the battery, first
connect the positive (+)
terminal and then the negative (-) terminal,before starting the vehicle.
CAUTION Do not let any petrol
eum-based fluid touch,
mix with, or get into the brake fluid. Thiswill damage the seals. Be careful when handling brake fluid. It can damage painted surfaces. Use only the listed brake fluid. Different brands of brake fluid have different addi-tives, and these can cause a chemical reac- tion. Do not mix brands of brake fluid. Keep the reservoir ta
nk cap closed to keep
the brake fluid from evaporating.
Battery
NOTE
 After replacing the battery, the electronic control system data for the automatic trans-axle, etc., will be erased.As a result, shifting may be rough. Shifting will become smoother after several changes in speed.
Checking battery electrolyte level During cold weather
Disconnection and connection
NOTE
 Open the terminal cover (A) before discon- necting or connecting the positive (+) termi- nal of the battery.  Loosen the nut (B) and then disconnect the battery cable from the positive (+) terminal.

If painted surfaces have
been severely dam-
aged and lost their original luster and color tone, polish the surface
lightly with a fine
polishing compound. Avoid limiting your polishing to the damage
d surface only; polish
a somewhat wider area, moving the polishingcloth in one direction.
After polishing, flush
the compound from the surface and apply a coat of wax to regain a beautiful luster.
N00946201099
Small cracks and scratches in the paint coat should be touched up as
soon as possible with
touch-up paint to prevent corrosion.Check body areas facing the road or the tires carefully for damage to the paint caused by flying stones, etc. The
paint code number for
your vehicle can be found on the vehicle information code plate located on the front passenger door sill.
N00946301221
Use a sponge or chamois to clean these parts.If the vehicle wax sticks to a gray or black rough surface of the bumper, molding or lights, the surface may appear white in color.In this case, wipe it
off using lukewarm water
and a soft cloth or chamois.
N00946400052
To prevent spots and corrosion of chrome parts, wash with water, dry thoroughly, and apply a nonabrasive automotive wax. If the chrome is severely da
maged or pitted, use a
commercially available chrome polish.
N00946500183
1. Remove dirt using a wet sponge.2. Use a mild detergent on any dirt that can- not be removed ea
sily with water.
Rinse off the detergent after washing thewheel. 3. Dry the wheel thoroughly using a chamois leather or a soft cloth.
 Do not use gasoline, benzine, kerosene or paint thinners to remove
road tar or other dirt
from the vehicle surface. Do not put wax on the areas having black matte coating because
it can cause uneven
discoloration, patches,
blurs, etc. If these get
wax on them, wipe the wax off right away with a soft clot
h and warm water.
On vehicles with sunr
oof, be careful not to
apply any wax on the weatherstrip (blackrubber) when waxing the area around the sunroof opening. If stained with wax,
the weatherstrip cannot
maintain a weatherproof seal with the sun- roof.
Polishing
CAUTION
Damaged paint Cleaning plastic parts
CAUTION Do not use a scrubbing brush or other rough scrubber as these may
damage the plastic
surface. Do not use wax containing compounds (pol- ishing powder) which
may damage the plas-
tic surface.
 Do not let plastic parts
get soiled with gaso-
line, oil, brake fluids
, engine oils, greases,
paint thinner, and sulfuric acid (battery elec-trolyte), as such substa
nces will cause stains,
cracks, or discoloration. If any of these get on a plastic part, wipethem up with a soft cloth or chamois and a mild solution of soap and water. Then rinse them immediately with water.
