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.

The condition of the batte
ry is very important
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.

WA R N I N GTake care in handling brake fluid as it isharmful to the eyes, may irritates yourskin and will damage
painted surfaces.
Wipe up spills immediately.If brake fluid gets on your hands or inyour eyes, flush immediately with cleanwater. Follow up with a doctor as neces-sary.CAUTIONDo not let any petrol
eum-based fluid touch,
mix with, or get into
the brake fluid. This
will damage the seals.Be careful when handli
ng brake fluid. It can
damage painted surfaces.Use only the listed brak
e 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.

NOTE
After replacing the battery, the electroniccontrol 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.

The best way to keep carbon monoxide gasfrom entering inside your
vehicle is to have
the engine exhaust syst
em properly serviced.
Have a competent mechanic inspect the com-plete exhaust system
and nearby body areas
for broken, damaged, deteriorated, or mispo-sitioned parts if you no
tice any of the follow-
ing:A change in the sound of the exhaust sys-temThe smell of exhaust fumes inside thevehicle
WA R N I N GIf you see a fuel leak
or if you smell fuel,
do not run the engine. Any spark (includ-ing from the ignition
), flame or smoking
material could cause an explosion or fire.Call an authorized

The underside or rear of the vehicle isdamaged
Also check the exhaust system each time thevehicle is raised for l
ubrication, oil changes,
or required service. A
ny open seams or loose
connections could le
t dangerous exhaust
fumes seep into the luggage and passengercompartments.Check for holes or exhaust gas leakscaused by corrosion or damage.Check the joints and connections forlooseness or exhaust gas leaks.Check the rubber hangers and brackets fordamage.

The hood lock release mechanism and hoodsafety catch should be checked, cleaned, andoiled when needed for easy movement and toprevent rust and wear. Use MultipurposeGrease NLGI Grade 2 sparingly for all slidingparts of the hood latch and release lever.Work the grease into the hood lock mecha-nism until all the movable surfaces are cov-ered.Also, put a light coat
of the same grease on
the safety catch wherever moving parts touch.
N00942600102
The ventilation slots in
front of the wind-
shield should be brushed clear after a heavysnowfall so that the operation of the heatingand ventilation systems will not be impaired.
To prevent freezing of the weatherstrippingon the doors, engine hood, etc., they shouldbe treated with
silicone grease.
It is a good idea to carry a shovel or a short-handled spade in the vehicle during the win-ter so that you can clear away snow if you getstranded. A small hand-brush for sweepingsnow off the vehicle a
nd a plastic scraper for
the windshield, side a
nd rear window are also
useful.
