• Brakes: Brakes must be in good working order with sufficient pad/rotor thickness and no leaks in the brake lines.

About the Mitsubishi Eterna 4G67

Maintaining the key systems of your MITSUBISHI ETERNA Base is crucial for safe and efficient operation. Let's explore some vital areas:
• Braking System: The braking system is paramount for safety. Regularly inspecting brake pads and rotors/drums for wear and tear is highly recommended. Listen for any unusual noises, such as squealing or grinding, as these can indicate brake problems. Ensure the brake fluid is checked and replaced according to the manufacturer's recommendations to maintain optimal braking performance.
• Filters: Filters play a critical role in protecting your engine and ensuring clean air inside the cabin. Regularly replacing the engine air filter, oil filter, and cabin air filter will contribute to improved engine performance and air quality. A clean engine air filter allows for optimal airflow, while a fresh oil filter helps keep the engine oil clean, preventing premature wear. The cabin air filter keeps pollutants and allergens out of the passenger compartment.
• Suspension System: A properly functioning suspension system ensures a comfortable ride and stable handling. Inspect the shocks or struts for leaks or damage. Pay attention to any unusual noises, such as clunking or rattling, when driving over bumps. Also, be mindful of how your ETERNA Base handles – excessive bouncing or swaying can indicate suspension issues. Regular maintenance will help to maintain optimal ride quality and handling characteristics.
