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 sealed tight in a short
length of time, it indicates leaks from the
brake system.
If this occurs, have the vehicle checked by an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a
repair 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 battery is very important
for quick starting and to keep the vehicle’s
electrical 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 compartment
and fill to the mark.

WARNING
 Take care in handling brake fluid as it is
harmful to the eyes, may irritates your
skin and will damage painted surfaces.
Wipe up spills immediately.
If brake fluid gets on your hands or in
your eyes, flush immediately with clean
water. Follow up with a doctor as neces-
sary.
CAUTION
 Do not let any petroleum-based fluid touch,
mix with, or get into the brake fluid. This
will 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 tank 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.
