If the clearance is smaller than the specified
Z11612
value, have the brakes inspected by your near-
est authorized MITSUBISHI FUSO distributor or
dealer.

If the pedal-to-floor clearance is insufficient or
the pedal feels spongy when depressed, brake
fluid leakage or presence of air in the brake
hydraulic system may be a cause.

est authorized MITSUBISHI FUSO distributor or
dealer if the above conditions are detected.

drive the vehicle at a low speed to make sure that
braking power is sufficient and even. If braking
seems in any way abnormal, operating the vehicle
could be dangerous. Ask your nearest authorized
MITSUBISHI FUSO distributor or dealer for a more
thorough inspection.
