The fluid level falls slightly with wear of the
brake pads, but this does not indicate any
abnormality.
The fluid in the master cylinder should be
checked when doing other work under the
engine hood. The brake system should also be
checked for leaks at the same time.
If the fluid level falls markedly 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 brake fluid conforming 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 battery is weaker in cold temperatures.
This has to do with its chemical and physical
properties and is why a very cold battery,
especially one with a low charge, will have a
hard time starting your vehicle.
It is recommended that you have your battery
and charging system checked by an autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair
facility of your choice before the start of cold
weather. If necessary, have it charged. This
will guarantee more reliable starting, and lon-
ger battery life.

To disconnect the battery cable, stop the
engine. 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.
Fluid type
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.
During cold weather
CAUTION
Disconnection and connection
NOTE
Open the terminal cover (A) before discon-
necting or connecting the positive (+) termi-
nal of the battery.
