Check the washer fluid level at regular inter-
vals and add washer fluid to reservoir if nec-
essary.
Open the reservoir cap and check the fluid
level with the dipstick.
When freezing weather is anticipated, flush
out the water in the reservoir by operating the
pump. Fill the reservoir with windshield anti-
freeze (not radiator antifreeze), and operate
the system for a few seconds to flush out the
residual water.

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 a
certified Mitsubishi EV dealer.
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.

WARNING
 Take care in handling brake fluid as it is
harmful to the eyes, may irritate your skin
and will damage to 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 cap closed to keep the
brake fluid from evaporating.
