Check the fluid leve
l 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 thebrake pads, but this
does not indicate any
abnormality.If the fluid level falls sealed tight in a shortlength of time, it indi
cates leaks from the
brake system.If this occurs, have the vehicle checked by anauthorized 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 waterout.

for quick starting and to keep the vehicle’selectrical system work
ing properly. Check the

system tested by an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or arepair facility
of your choice.

must be between the
limits shown on the outside of the battery. Fillit with distilled water as needed. The inside ofthe battery is divided into several compart-ments. Take the cap off of each compartmentand fill to the mark.

ve been severely dam-
aged and lost their original luster and colortone, polish the surface lightly with a finepolishing compound. Avoid limiting yourpolishing 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 acoat of wax to regain a beautiful luster.
