Use brake fluid conforming to DOT3 or
DOT4 from a sealed container. The brake
fluid is hygroscopic. Too much moisture in
the brake fluid will adversely affect the brake
system, reducing the brake performance.

Check the fluid level in the reservoir while
the engine is idling.
Check to make certain that the power steering
fluid level is always between the “MAX” and
“MIN” level markings on the fluid reservoir
and top up the fluid, if necessary.
Use “MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE
PSF (Power Steering Fluid)”.

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 imme-
diately with clean water. Follow up with a
doctor as necessary.
CAUTION
Use only the specified brake fluid.
Do not mix or add different brand of brake
fluid to prevent chemical reaction.
Do not let any petroleum-based fluid touch,
mix with, or get into the brake fluid.
This will damage the seals.
Keep the reservoir tank cap closed to prevent
the brake fluid from deteriorating except
maintenance.
Clean the filler cap before removing and
close the cap securely after maintenance.
