What's the red fluid container next to the intake airbox?

As the title says, does anyone know what it is? I looked it up in the manual and it doesn't mention about it. Mine is at below the 'Minimum' mark. Thanks for the help!

Dan,

Thanks man. Mine is slightly below the minimum mark. Should I be concerned?
Also, does anyone know where I can get some ACD fluid?

Mitsu dealership is your best bet for acd fluid. How far below is it on the min line? i heard that it sometimes fluctuates. Maybe check it after the car has been sitting for a while or check it right after you drive it.

By the way, Mine is slightly above the max mark on my car and it came like that from the factory.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think I read somewhere that it's just brake fluid.

I feel like an idiot, now. I did little search here, and fould that you should check your acd fluid level when the car is off. I checked mine right after I drove home from the work. So, I went back to the car and guess what? The acd fluid is perfectly at the 'Max' mark. So, a lesson learned: Check you ACD fluid level when the car is cooled down and the engine is off.

It's ATF fluid. And yes, it will read low when you first stop driving your car.
