Automatic transaxle fluid (if so equipped)
The automatic transaxle should be maintained and serviced by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice to obtain the best performance and longest life. It is important that the transaxle fluid is kept at the correct level. To check the fluid level
The fluid level should be checked when the engine temperature gauge shows the engine is warmed up and the fluid in the tran- saxle is heated to its normal working temperature. Driving with the wrong fluid level will rapidly wear out the transaxle and destroy the fluid.
CAUTION! ● Take care not to scratch the engine air flow sensor
when removing the air cleaner cover.
Vehicle care and maintenance
Procedure for checking the fluid level
1. With the brake pedal fully depressed and the engine
idling, select each gear momentarily, ending with the selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position.
2. The fluid level should be at the HOT mark, but never above the HOT mark when the engine is warmed up. Add or drain fluid to get to the correct level.
3. Make certain that the dipstick cap is installed properly to keep dirt and water out of the transaxle.
