2011 MITSUBISHI L200 Owner's Manual (in English)

Hinges and latches lubrication
Check all latches and hinges, and lubricate if neces-
sary by first cleaning and then applying multipur-
pose grease.For cold and snowy weather E01002800257
Ventilation slots
The ventilation slots in front of the windscreen
should be kept clear of leaves or brushed clear after
heavy snowfall, so that the operation of the heating
and ventilation systems will not be impaired.
Weatherstripping
To prevent freezing of the weatherstripping on the
doors, bonnet, etc., they should be treated with sili-
cone grease or spray.
Additional equipment
It is a good idea to carry a shovel or a short-han-
dled spade in the vehicle during the winter so that
you can clear away snow if you get stranded. A
small hand-brush for sweeping snow off the vehi-
cle and a plastic scraper for the windscreen and
rear window are also useful.Fusible links E01002900030
The fusible links will melt to prevent a fire if a
large current attempts to flow through certain elec-
trical systems.
In case of a melted fusible link, we recommend
you to have your vehicle inspected.

FusesE01003000849Fuse block location E01007600032
To prevent damage to the electrical system due to
shortcircuiting or overloading, each individual cir-
cuit is provided with a fuse.
There are fuse blocks in the passenger compart-
ment and in the engine compartment.
Passenger compartment
The fuse block in the passenger compartment is lo-
cated in front of the driver’s seat at the position
shown in the illustration.
Engine compartment
In the engine compartment, the fuse block is loca-
ted as shown in the illustration.
1- Push the knob.
2- Remove the cover.
Fuse load capacity E01007700033
The fuse capacity and the name of the electrical sys-
tems protected by the fuses are indicated on the in-
side of the fuse lid located at the driver’s leg area
and on the inside of the fuse block cover for fuses
located in the engine compartment.
Passenger compartment fuse location table E01007900501
NOTE
l Spare fuses are contained in the fuse lid. Al-
ways use a fuse of the same capacity for re-
placement.

l Some fuses may not be installed on your ve-
hicle, depending on the vehicle model or spec-
ifications.
l The table above shows the main equipment
corresponding to each fuse.
The fuse block does not contain spare 10 A
and 15 A fuses. If a fuse of one of these ca-
pacities blows, replace it temporarily by bor-
rowing the one that matches from:
10 A: Radio
15 A: Cigarette lighter
Replace the borrowed fuse as soon as possible.

1.Before replacing a fuse, always turn off the
electrical circuit concerned and place the ig-
nition switch in the “LOCK” position.
2. Pull the fuse lid (A) to remove it.
3. Remove the fuse puller (B) from the fuse lid
(A).

4.Referring to the fuse load capacity table,
check the fuse pertaining to the problem.
C- Fuse is OK
D- Blown fuse
NOTE l If any system does not function but the fuse
corresponding to that system is normal, there
may be a fault in the system elsewhere. We
recommend you to have your vehicle checked.
5. Insert a new fuse of the same capacity by us-
ing the fuse puller into the same place at the
fuse block.CAUTIONl If the newly inserted fuse blows again af-
ter a short time, we recommend you to
have the electrical system checked to find
the cause and rectify it.
l Never use a fuse with a capacity larger
than that specified or any substitute, such
as wire, foil, etc.; doing so will cause the
circuit wiring to heat up and could cause
a fire.Replacement of lamp bulbs E01003100710
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 evap-
orate when the bulb gets hot and the vapour will
condense on the reflector and dim the surface.CAUTIONl Bulbs are extremely hot immediately af-
ter being turned off.
When replacing a bulb, wait for it to cool
sufficiently before touching it. You could
otherwise be burnt.
NOTE
l If you are unsure of how to carry out the
work as required, we recommend you to con-
sult a specialist.
l Be careful not to scratch the vehicle body
when removing a lamp or lens.
l When it rains or when the vehicle has been
washed, the inside of the lens sometimes be-
comes foggy. This is the same phenomenon
as when window glass mists up on a humid
day, and does not indicate a functional prob-
lem. When the lamp is switched on, the heat
will remove the fog. However, if water gath-
ers inside the lamp, we recommend you to
have the lamp checked.
Bulb capacity E01003200085
When replacing a bulb, use a new bulb with the
same wattage and colour.

CAUTIONl Handle halogen lamp bulbs with care.
The gas inside halogen lamp bulbs is high-
ly pressurized, so dropping, knocking, or
scratching a halogen lamp bulb can cause
it to shatter.
l Never hold the halogen lamp bulb with a
bare hand, dirty glove, etc.
The oil from your hand could cause the
bulb to break the next time the head-
lamps are operated.
If the glass surface is dirty, it must be
cleaned with alcohol, paint thinner, etc.,
and refit it after drying it thoroughly.
