Brake fluid/Clutch fluid (if so equipped)
The brake fluid and the clutch fluid share the reservoir tank. To check the fluid level
The fluid level must be between the “MAX” and “MIN” marks on the reservoir.
The fluid level is monitored by a float. When the brake fluid level falls below the “MIN” mark, the brake fluid warning lamp lights up. 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 indi- cates 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. Fluid type
Use the brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4. The reser- voir cap must be tightly sealed to keep dirt and water out.
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 additives, and these can cause a chemical reaction. Do not mix brands of brake fluid.
● Keep the reservoir tank cap closed to keep the brake fluid from evaporating.
