The fluid level falls slightly with wear of the brake pads, but this
does not indicate any
abnormality. If the fluid level falls sealed tight 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 arepair facility
of your choice.
Use the recommended brake fluid conform- ing 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 importantfor quick starting and to keep the vehicle’selectrical system work
ing properly. Check the
battery regularly. If battery performance is suspect, have the battery and charging system tested by anauthorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
The electrolyte level
must be between the
limits shown on the outside of the battery. Fillit with distilled water as needed. The inside of the battery is divided into several compart- ments. Take the cap off of each compartmentand fill to the mark. Do not fill above the top line because a spill during driving could cause damage. The battery is weaker in cold temperatures. This has to do with it
s 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 th
at you have your battery
and charging system checked by an autho- rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair
Fluid type
CAUTION Do not let any petrol
eum-based fluid touch,
mix with, or get into
the brake fluid. This
will damage the seals. Be careful when handli
ng brake fluid. It can
damage painted surfaces. Use only the listed brak
e 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 ta
nk cap closed to keep
the brake fluid from evaporating.

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.

facility of your choice before the start of cold weather. If necessary, have it charged. Thiswill provide more relia
ble starting, and longer
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.Disconnection and connection
NOTE
 Open the terminal cover (A) before discon- necting or connecting
the positive (+) termi-
nal of the battery.  Loosen the nut (B) a
nd then disconnect the
battery cable from the positive (+) terminal.
WA R N I N G Never disconnect the battery while the engine is running, or you could damagethe vehicle’s electrical parts. Never short-circuit the battery. This could cause it to overheat and be damaged. Keep sparks, cigarettes, and flames away from the battery because the battery couldexplode. Electrolyte (battery acid) is made of corro- sive diluted sulfuric acid. If it spills on nearby parts, it can crack, stain, or dis- color them. And if it gets on your skin orin your eyes, it can cause burns or blind- ness. Please observe the following han- dling instructions:• If electrolyte gets on plastic parts orother nearby parts, wipe it off with a softcloth or chamois soak
ed in a solution of
water and neutral detergent then imme- diately rinse the affected parts withplenty of water.• If electrolyte gets on your hands orclothes, rinse thoroughly with water. If electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush them with water immediately and get immedi-ate medical attention.
 Open doors and wind
ows in any closed
space where you may be charging or working with the battery. Always wear protecti
ve clothing and gog-
gles when working with the battery, or have a skilled automobi
le technician do it.
If you are quick-ch
arging your battery,
first disconnect the battery cables. In order to prevent a
short-circuit, be sure
to disconnect the negative (-) terminal first, and reconnect it last. If the electrolyte level
is very low, have the
battery checked at an
authorized Mitsubi-
shi Motors dealer or
a repair facility of
your choice. Battery posts, terminals and related acces- sories contain lead
and lead compounds.
Wash hands after handling.NOTE
 Check each battery terminal for corrosion. You can prevent further corrosion by wash-ing with a solution of baking soda and water. Grease the posts and cl
amps after cleaning or
tightening them.  Ensure the battery is securely installed and cannot be moved. Also
check each terminal
for tightness.  If you will not be driving your vehicle for a long period of time, remove the battery andstore it in a place where the battery fluid will not freeze. The battery only should be stored with a full charge.  Before cleaning the battery, tighten all the filler port caps to keep
dirt and moisture out.
