Clutch Fluid - Mitsubishi MOTORS Pajero Owner's Manual

1. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" or
"ACC" position.
2. Repeatedly depress the brake pedal until sig-
nificant resistance is felt (normally after
about 40 times).
3. Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir.
The brake 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 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
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.
CAUTION
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.

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 ensure that the clutch fluid level is always
between the "MAX" and "MIN" level markings on
the fluid reservoir.
