2004 MITSUBISHI L200 bulb

INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
Turn-signal indication lamps - greenED52A-Bb
These indication lamps blink on and off when a
turn-signal lamp is operating.
NOTE
If the blinking is too fast, the cause may be a faulty
turn-signal connection or a blown lamp bulb.
Hazard warning indication lamps - green
ED30A-A
When the hazard warning lamp switch is pressed, all
turn-signal lamps will flash on and off continuously.
High-beam indication lamp - blueED51A-Aa
This indication lamp illuminates when the high
beam is used.
Low fuel warning lamp - amberED63ABDa
The indication lamp illuminates on when the fuel
tank is getting low. Refuel as soon as possible.
CAUTIONOn petrol-powered vehicles, do not drive
with an extremely low fuel level, running
out of fuel could cause damage to the cat-
alytic converter.
NOTE
(1) On inclines or curves, due to the movement
of fuel in the tank, the low fuel indication lamp
may indicate incorrectly.
(2) When the engine on diesel-powered vehicles
fails to operate owing to running out of fuel, it
may sometimes not be restarted after refuel-
ing. This is due to air entering the fuel sys-
tem. Therefore, air must be bled from the
system. (Refer to the page 8-25.)
Door-ajar warning lamp - redED56A-Aa
This lamp illuminates when a door is either open
or incompletely closed.
CAUTIONBefore moving your vehicle, check that the
warning lamp is OFF.

When making a normal turn, use posi-
tion (1). The lever will return automat-
ically when cornering is completed.
There are times when the lever will
not return after cornering. This occurs
when the steering wheel is turned
only slightly. In such cases, return the
lever by hand.

STARTING AND DRIVING
5-29
CAUTIONNever cross a stream where the
water is deep.
Do not change gears while crossing
the stream.
Frequent crossing of streams can
adversely affect the life span of the
vehicle; consult an authorized
MITSUBISHI dealer and take the ne-
cessary measures to prepare, in-
spect, and repair the vehicle.
After crossing a stream, apply the brakes
to be sure they are functioning properly. If
the brakes are wet and not functioning
properly, dry them out by driving slowly
while lightly depressing the brake pedal.
Inspect each part of the vehicle carefully.
Refer to the “Inspection and maintenance
following rough road operation” section.
Cautions on handling of
4WD vehicles
EI49A-Ce
Tyres and wheels
Since the driving torque can be applied to
the 4 wheels, the performance of the vehi-
cle when operating in 4WD is greatly
affected by the condition of the tyres.
Pay close attention to the tyres.
• Install specified tyres on all wheels. Re-
fer to the “Tyres and wheels” on page
10-8, 10-14, 10-22.
• All tyres should be rotated whenever the
wear difference between front and rear
tyres is recognizable.
Good vehicle performance cannot be
expected if there is a difference in wear
between tyres. Refer to the “Tyre rota-
tion” on page 9-11.
• Check the tyre inflation pressure regu-
larly.
Inspection and maintenance
following rough road operation
After operating the vehicle in rough road
conditions, be sure to perform the following
inspection and maintenance procedures:
(1) Check that the vehicle has not been
damaged by rocks, gravel, etc.
(2) Carefully wash the vehicle with water.
Drive the vehicle slowly while lightly
depressing the brake pedal in order to
dry out the brakes. If the brakes still
do not function properly, contact an
authorized MITSUBISHI dealer as
soon as possible to have the brakes
checked.
(3) Remove the insects, dried grass, etc.
clogging the radiator core.
(4) If a stream has been crossed, check
the engine, transmission, and differ-
ential oil and propeller shaft grease. If
the oil or grease is milky or cloudy
because of water contamination, it
must be replaced with new oil.
(5) Check the inside of the vehicle. If
ingress of water is found, dry the car-
pet etc.
(6) Inspect the headlamps. If the head-
lamp bulb is flooded with water, have
the headlamp drained off at an autho-
rized MITSUBISHI dealer.
(7) Have an authorized MITSUBISHI
dealer replace grease in the wheel
bearing.

FOR EMERGENCIES
Replacement of lamp
bulbs
EN10A-Ab
Before replacing a bulb, ensure the lamp
is off. Do not touch the glass part of the
new bulb with your bare fingers; the skin
oil left on the glass will evaporate when
the bulb gets hot and the vapor will con-
dense on the reflector and dim the sur-
face.
Bulb capacityEN10BPXb
A bulb should only be replaced with a new
bulb of the same rating and type. The
designation can be found on the base of
the bulb.
