Battery - Mitsubishi MOTORS Colt 2007 Owner's Manual

The fluid in the master cylinder should be checked when doing
other work under the bonnet. The brake system should also be
checked for leaks at the same time.
If the fluid level falls markedly in a short period of time, it indi-
cates a leak from the system.
If this occurs, we recommend that you have the vehicle
checked.
Fluid type
Use brake fluid conforming to DOT4+ from a sealed container.
The brake fluid is hygroscopic. Too much moisture in the brake
fluid will adversely affect the brake system and the clutch sys-
tem, reducing performance.
CAUTION
!
● Take care when handling brake fluid as it is harmful
to the eyes, may irritate your skin and also damage
painted surfaces.
● Use only the specified brake fluid.
To prevent a chemical reaction do not mix or add
different brands of brake fluid.
Do not let any petroleum-based fluid touch, mix
with, or get into the brake fluid.
This will damage the seals.
● Keep the reservoir tank cap closed, except during
maintenance, to prevent the brake fluid from deteri-
orating.
● Clean the filler cap before removing and close the
cap securely after maintenance.

Battery

The condition of the battery is very important for quick starting
of the engine and proper functioning of the vehicle's electrical
system. Regular inspection and care are especially important in
cold weather.
NOTE
● Memory data for settings made by the user may be erased
when the battery is replaced. If this happens, establish the
settings again using the relevant procedures.
