Brake fluid
N00938700203
To check the fluid level
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 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 Mit-
subishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
Fluid type
Use the recommended brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or
DOT 4. The reservoir 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.
