power steering fluid MITSUBISHI TRITON 2011 Owners Manual

If the vehicle breaks down
E00800101166
If the vehicle breaks down
on the road, move it to
the shoulder and use the hazard warning flashers and/
or the warning triangle etc.
Refer to “Hazard warning flasher switch” on page
3-34.
If the engine stops/fails
Vehicle operation and control are affected if the en-
gine stops.
Before moving the vehicle to a safe area, be aware
of the following:
l The brake booster becomes inoperative and
the pedal effort will increase. Press down the
brake pedal harder than usual.
l Since the power steering pump is no longer
operative, the steering wheel feels heavy
when turning it. Emergency starting
E00800502112
If the engine cannot be
started because the battery
is weak or dead, the battery from another vehicle
can be used with jumper cables to start the engine. WARNING
l To start the engine
using
jumper cables
connected from another vehicle, perform
the correct procedures according to the in-
struction manual. Incorrect procedures
could result in a fire or explosion or dam-
age to the vehicles.
1. Get the vehicles close enough so the jumper
cables can
reach, but

be sure the vehicles
aren’t touching each other.
If they are, it could cause a ground connec-
tion you don’t want. The vehicle will not
start, and the bad grounding could damage
the electrical systems. CAUTION
l
Check the other vehicle.
It
must have a 12-
volt battery.
If the other system isn’t 12-volt, shorting
can damage both vehicles.
2. You could be injured if the vehicles move.
Set the
parking brake

firmly on each vehicle.
Put an automatic transmission in “P”
(PARK) or a manual transmission in “N”
(Neutral). Turn off the ignition switch. WARNING
l Turn off the ignition on
both vehicles be-
forehand.
Make sure that the cables or your clothes
cannot be caught by the fan or drive belt.
Personal injury could result.
NOTE l Turn
off all lamps, heater

and other electrical
loads. This will avoid sparks and help save
both batteries.
3. Make sure battery electrolyte is at the proper level.
Refer to “Battery” on page 8-10. WARNING
l If electrolyte fluid is
not
visible, or ap-
pears to be frozen, Do Not Attempt Jump
Starting!
A battery might rupture or explode if the
temperature is below the freezing point
or if it is not filled to the proper level.
4. Connect one end of one jumper cable to the
positive (+)
terminal of

the discharged bat-
tery (A), and the other end to the positive (+)
terminal of the booster battery (B).

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
