Check the washer fluid level at regular inter-
vals and add washer fluid to reservoir if nec-
essary.
Open the reservoir cap and check the level of
washer fluid.
Full level is approximately 2 inches (5 cm)
below from the upper surface of the reservoir.
When freezing weather is anticipated, flush
out the water in the reservoir by operating the
pump. Fill the reservoir with windshield anti-
freeze (not radiator antifreeze), and operate
the system for a few seconds to flush out the
residual water.

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.
The fluid in the master cylinder should be
checked when doing other work under the
engine hood. The brake system should also be
checked for leaks at the same time.
If the fluid level falls noticeably in a short
length of time, it indicates leaks from the
brake system.
If this occurs, have the vehicle checked by an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a
repair facility of your choice.
Use the brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or
DOT 4. The reservoir cap must be tightly
sealed to keep dirt and water out.

WARNING
 Take care in handling brake fluid as it is
harmful to the eyes, may irritates your
skin and will damage painted surfaces.
Wipe up spills immediately.
If brake fluid gets on your hands or in
your eyes, flush immediately with clean
water. Follow up with a doctor as neces-
sary.
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 addi-
tives, and these can cause a chemical reac-
tion. Do not mix brands of brake fluid.
