e with a low battery
charge after the engine has been started byusing jumper cables, th
e engine may misfire.
This can cause the anti-lock braking systemwarning light to blink on
and off. This is only
due to the low battery voltage. It is not aproblem with the brake system. If this hap-pens, fully charge the battery and ensure thecharging system is operating properly.

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
battery regularly.If battery performance is suspect, have thebattery and charging
system tested by an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or arepair facility
of your choice.
The electrolyte level
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.

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 low charge, will have ahard time starting your vehicle.It is recommended that you have your batteryand charging system checked by an autho-rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repairfacility of your choice before the start of coldweather. If necessary, have it charged. Thiswill provide more relia
ble starting, and longer
battery life.To disconnect the battery cable, stop theengine. Disconnect 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.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 thebattery cable from the positive (+) terminal.WA R N I N GNever disconnect the battery while theengine is running, or you could damagethe vehicle’s electrical parts.Never short-circuit the battery. This couldcause it to overheat and be damaged.Keep sparks, cigarettes, and flames awayfrom the battery because the battery couldexplode.Electrolyte (battery acid) is made of corro-sive diluted sulfuric acid. If it spills onnearby parts, it can crack, stain, or dis-color them. And if it gets on your skin orin your eyes, it can cause burns or blind-ness. Please observe the following han-dling instructions:NOTE
• If electrolyte gets on plastic parts orother nearby parts, wipe it off with a softcloth or chamois soak
