CAUTIONlUse 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.Clutch fluid*
E01001001507
To check the fluid level
The clutch fluid in the master cylinder should
be checked when performing other under- hood service. In addition, the system shouldbe checked for leakage at the same time.
Check to make certain 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
vehicle 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.WARNINGl 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

E01001901203
Tyre wear varies with vehicle conditions,
road surface conditions and individual driv- er’s driving habits. To equalize the wear andhelp extend tyre life, it is recommended to ro-
tate the tyres immediately after discovery of
abnormal wear, or whenever the wear differ- ence between the front and rear tyres is rec-
ognizable.
When rotating tyres, check for uneven wear
and damage. Abnormal wear is usually caused by incorrect tyre pressure, improper wheel alignment, out of balance wheel, or se-
vere braking. We recommend you to have it checked to determine the cause of irregular
tread wear.Spare tyre used*Spare tyre not usedTyres that have arrows showing rotation directionFrontFrontFront*- If the spare tyre wheel differs from the standard tyre wheel, do not perform tyre rota-
tion using a spare wheel.CAUTIONl If the tyres have arrows (A) indicating the
correct direction of rotation, swap the front and rear wheels on the left hand side of the
vehicle and the front and rear wheels on the
right hand side of the vehicle separately. Keep each tyre on its original side of the ve-hicle. When fitting the tyres, make sure the
arrows point in the direction in which the wheels will turn when the vehicle moves
forward. Any tyre whose arrow points in the
wrong direction will not perform to its full potential.Front

CAUTIONlAvoid the combined use of different types of
tyres.
Using different types of tyres can affect ve-
hicle performance and safety.Snow tyres
E01002001894
The use of snow tyres is recommended for
driving on snow and ice. To preserve driving stability, mount snow tyres of the same size and tread pattern on all 4 wheels.
Snow tyres worn more than 50% are no lon-
ger suitable for use as snow tyres.
Snow tyres which do not meet specifications must not be used.
CAUTIONl Observe permissible maximum speed for
your snow tyres and the legal speed limit.
l If your vehicle is equipped with a tyre pres-
sure monitoring system, only MITSUBISHI
MOTORS genuine wheels should be used.
Use of another type of wheel risks air leaks and sensor damage, as it will not be possible
to install the tyre pressure sensor properly.
Refer to “Tyre pressure monitoring system
(TPMS)” on page 6-53.NOTEl The laws and regulations concerning snow
tyres (driving speed, required use, type, etc.)
vary. Find out and follow the laws and regu- lations in the area you intend to drive.
l If flange nuts are used on your vehicle,
change to tapered nuts when steel wheels are used.Tyre chains
E01002101794
On 4WD vehicles in which the driving power
is distributed preferentially to the rear wheels, ensure that the tyre chains are fitted
on the rear in accordance with the manufac- turer’s instructions.
Use only tyre chains which are designed for use with the tyres mounted on the vehicle: use of the incorrect size or type of chain
could result in damage to the vehicle body.
Before fitting tyre chains, we recommend you to consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point. The max. chain
height is as follows.
Tyre sizeWheel size

17 x 7 1/2 J22Tyre sizeWheel size
Max. chainheight[mm]265/60R18 110H18 x 7 1/2 J22
The speed limit for tyre chain is 50 km/h(30 mph) and remove the tyre chains as soon as possible on snow free roads.
CAUTIONl As your vehicle is equipped with anti-lock
brake system (ABS), in order to ensure that the anti-lock brake system (ABS) will oper- ate 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 sur-
face.
l After driving around 100-300 metres, stop
and retighten the chains.
l Drive carefully and do not exceed 50 km/h
(30 mph). Remember, fitting chains is notgoing to stop accidents from happening.
Tyres
10-16OVWE16E1Maintenance10

CAUTIONlWhen 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.NOTEl 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 insufficient 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.

1. Lift the wiper arm off the windscreen. 2. Pull the wiper blade until its stopper (A)
disengages from the hook (B). Then, pull the wiper blade further to remove it.NOTEl Do not allow the wiper arm to fall onto the
windscreen; it could damage the glass.
3. Attach the retainers (C) to a new wiper
blade.
Refer to the illustration to ensure that the
retainers are correctly aligned as you at- tach them.
4. Insert the wiper blade into the arm, start-
ing with the opposite end of the blade from the stopper. Make sure the hook(B) is fitted correctly in the grooves in
the blade.
NOTEl If retainers are not supplied with the new
wiper blade, use the retainers from the old
blade.

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 Do not attempt to repair or replace the lamp
bulbs other than described in this owner’s manual. For repair or replacement, contact aMITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.
l 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 gath-
ers inside the lamp, we recommend you to have it checked.Bulb capacity
