CAUTION
l
Do not use alcohol or methanol anti-
freeze or any engine coolants mixed with
alcohol or methanol anti-freeze. The use
of an improper anti-freeze can cause cor-
rosion of the aluminium components.
l For effective anti-corrosion and anti-
freeze performance, keep the anti-freeze
concentration within the range of 30 to
60 %.
Concentrations exceeding 60 % will re-
sult in a reduction of both the anti-freeze
and cooling performance thus adversely
affecting the engine.
l Do not top up with water only.
Water by itself reduces the rust-protec-
tive and anti-freeze qualities of the cool-
ant and has a lower boiling point. It can
also cause damage to the cooling system if
it should freeze. Do not use tapwater, as it
can cause corrosion and rust formation.
During cold weather
If the temperatures in your

area drop below freez-
ing, there is the danger that the coolant in the en-
gine or radiator could freeze and cause severe dam-
age to the engine and/or radiator. The concentra-
tion should be checked before the start of cold weath-
er and anti-freeze added to the system if necessary.
Add a sufficient amount of anti-freeze to the cool-
ant to prevent it from freezing.
The concentration should be checked before the
start of cold weather and anti-freeze added to the
system if necessary. Automatic transmission fluid*
E01000600974
The proper amount of automatic

transmission fluid
is essential to the life and operation of the automat-
ic transmission. Either insufficient fluid or exces-
sive fluid could cause transmission trouble. The
transmission fluid filler port cap is equipped with a
dipstick. Use the following procedure to check the
fluid level.
Procedure for checking the fluid level
1. Check the fluid level after the vehicle hasbeen driven enough to warm up the transmis-
sion fluid.
2. Park the vehicle on a flat, level surface and apply the parking brake.
3. With the engine idling and the brake pedal fully depressed, move the transmission selec-
tor lever through all the positions from the
"P” (PARK) to “L” (LOW) (with 4A/T), the
“P” (PARK) to “D” (DRIVE) (with 5A/T),
stopping momentarily at each position.
4. Move the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position.
5. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean lint-free cloth.
6. Reinsert the dipstick as far as it goes. 7. Remove dipstick and read the automatic trans-
mission fluid level.
The fluid level should
always be between the
two marks on the dipstick. WARNING
l Do not spill the
fluid
onto a hot exhaust
manifold during topping up or inspec-
tion, or a fire may occur.
Fluid type
Use only “DIA QUEEN ATF

SP III” transmission
fluid to ensure optimum transmission performance. Maintenance

Washer fluid
E01000700672
The windscreen washer fluid reservoir
is in the en-
gine compartment.
Check the washer fluid level at regular intervals
and add washer fluid to reservoir if necessary. NOTE
l The
washer fluid container serves

the wind-
screen and headlamps (if so equipped).
During cold weather
To ensure proper operation of the washers at low
temperatures, use a fluid containing an anti-freez-
ing agent. Brake fluid
E01000900687
To check the fluid level
Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir.
The brake fluid level must

be between the “MAX”
and “MIN” marks on the reservoir. The brake 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.
If the brake fluid level falls markedly in a short
length of time, it indicates leaks from the brake sys-
tem.
If this occurs, we recommend you to have the vehi-
cle checked.
Fluid type
Use brake fluid conforming to DOT3 or DOT4.
The brake fluid is hygroscopic. Too much moisture
in the brake fluid will adversely affect the brake sys-
tem, reducing the brake performance. In addition, the brake fluid reservoir is equipped
with a special cap
to

prevent the entrance of air,
and this cap should not be removed. CAUTION
l
Take care in handling
brake
fluid as it is
harmful to the eyes, may irritate your
skin and also damage painted surfaces.
l Use only the specified brake fluid.
Do not mix or add different brands of
brake fluid to prevent chemical reactions.
Do not let any petroleum-based fluid
touch, mix with, or get into the brake fluid.
This will damage the seals.
l Keep the reservoir tank cap closed to pre-
vent the brake fluid from deteriorating ex-
cept maintenance.
l Clean the filler cap before removing and
close the cap securely after maintenance. Maintenance

Clutch fluid*
E01001000281
To check the fluid level
The clutch fluid in the
master cylinder should be
checked when performing other underhood service.
In addition, the system should be checked for leak-
age at the same time.
Check to make certain that the clutch fluid level is
always between the “MAX” and “MIN” level mark-
ings on the fluid reservoir. A rapid fluid loss indicates a leak in the clutch sys-
tem which should be inspected
by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point or another spe-
cialist and repaired immediately.
Fluid type
Brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 should
be used.
The reservoir cap must be fully tightened to avoid
contamination from foreign matter or moisture.
DO NOT ALLOW PETROLEUM-BASED FLUID
TO CONTACT, MIX WITH, OR OTHERWISE
CONTAMINATE THE BRAKE FLUID. SEAL
DAMAGE WILL RESULT. WARNING
l Take
care
in handling
brake
fluid as it is
harmful to the eyes and may also cause
damage to painted surfaces. Wipe up any
spills immediately. Power steering fluid
E01001100703
To check the fluid level
Check the fluid level in

the reservoir while the en-
gine is idling.
Check to make certain that the power steering fluid
level is always between the “MAX” and “MIN” lev-
el markings on the fluid reservoir and refill the flu-
id, if necessary. Fluid type
Use “ATF DEXRON III or DEXRON II”. Maintenance

Brake pedal free play
E01002300281
Stop the engine, depress the
brake pedal several
times, and press down the pedal with your fingers
until initial resistance is felt. This distance should
be within the specified range. A- Free play: 3 to 8 mm
If the brake pedal free

play is not within the stand-
ard range, we recommend you to have it checked. Parking brake lever stroke
E01002400527
Pull the parking brake lever

up to check the num-
ber of “clicks” that the ratchet makes. One click rep-
resents a lever movement of one notch. The lever
should move the specified number of notches for
normal brake application.

If the parking brake lever stroke is out of the stand-
ard range, we recommend you to have it checked. WARNING
l Continued operation of the

with
the parking brake lever out of adjust-
ment may result in the vehicle moving
when unattended. Maintenance
