Brake Fluid/Clutch Fluid; Power Steering Fluid - Mitsubishi Electric GRANDIS OXPE10E1 Owner's Manual

Brake fluid/Clutch fluid*

E01000800501
The brake fluid and the clutch fluid share the reser-
voir tank.
To check the fluid level
The fluid level must be between the "MAX" and
"MIN" marks on the reservoir.
The fluid level is monitored by a float. When the
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 fluid level falls markedly in a short length of
time, it indicates leaks from the brake system.
If this occurs, we recommend you to have the vehi-
cle checked.
Fluid type
Use brake fluid conforming to DOT3 or DOT4
from a sealed container. The brake fluid is hygro-
scopic. Too much moisture in the brake fluid will
adversely affect the brake system, reducing the
brake performance.
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.
