Brake Fluid: Change
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 Mitsubishi Mirage G4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Remove the cap of the bleeder screw, connect a vinyl tube, and place its other end in a receptacle.CAUTION: If the reservoir tank completely runs out of fluid during operation, air will find way into the brake line. Pay attention, therefore, to the fluid level and replenish as necessary.
- Loosen the bleeder screw and depress the brake pedal; supply new brake fluid when the level of the fluid within the reservoir tank decreases.
Specified brake fluid: DOT3 or DOT4
CAUTION: Use the specified brake fluid. Avoid using a mixture of the specified brake fluid and other fluid. If brake fluid is exposed to the air, it will absorb moisture; as water is absorbed from the atmosphere, the boiling point of the brake fluid will decrease and the braking performance will be seriously impaired. For this reason use a hermetically sealed 1 L (0.2 gal) or 0.5 L (0.1 gal) brake fluid container. Firmly close the cap of the brake fluid container after use. - When fresh fluid has come to flow out from the vinyl tube, tighten the bleeder screw.NOTE: This change from existing to fresh fluid can be judged by change in color of fluid that flows out.
- Repeat above steps for other bleeder screws.
