BRAKE SYSTEM

CHECK
The fluid level should be between the “MAX” and
“MIN” lines on reservoir tank . Check whether the
reservoir tank contains foreign matter. If you see for-
eign matter in the reservoir tank, have the reservoir
tank inspected and cleaned by a MITSUBISHI
FUSO distributor or dealer.
Note: The warning lamp is illuminated when
the brake fluid level drops below the “MIN”
line.
CAUTION
Do not open cap of reservoir tank for inspec-
tion purposes.
Adding fluid
1. If the fluid level is lower than the “MIN” line,
remove cover , clean the surfaces around cap
of reservoir tank, open cap , and add the rec-
ommended brake fluid up to the “MAX” line.
2. Close the cap firmly.
REPLACEMENT <VACUUM-SERVO
HYDRAULIC BRAKE VEHICLES>
Brake fluid is shared by the brake and clutch sys-
tems, and is divided in the brake fluid tank into the
two systems. This section describes the replace-
ment of the brake fluid for the brake system. In
order to completely replace the brake fluid, the
brake fluid in the clutch system should also be
replaced.
WARNING
• The container used for adding brake fluid
should be a clean one free of moisture,
mineral oil, and dust.
• Be extremely careful not to let dust and
other foreign matter enter the reservoir
tank, as foreign matter in the tank could
cause a failure of the brake system.
• Be careful not to exceed the “MAX” line
when adding brake fluid.
• If the fluid level is unusually low, there is a
fluid leak in the brake line. In this case,
have your vehicle inspected at your near-
est authorized MITSUBISHI FUSO distribu-
tor or dealer.
