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 se
aled 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.
