2011 MITSUBISHI PAJERO IV maintenance

NOTE
l Do
not allow
the wiper arm to fall onto the
window glass; it could damage the glass.
4. Firmly insert the retainer (C) into the groove (D) in the wiper blade.
Refer to the illustration to ensure that the re-
tainers are correctly aligned as you insert
them into the groove. NOTE
l If
a retainer

is not supplied with the new wip-
er blade, use the retainer from the old blade. General maintenance
E01002700360
Fuel, engine coolant, oil and exhaust
gas leakage
Look under
the

body of your vehicle to check for
fuel, engine coolant, oil and exhaust gas leaks. WARNING
l If
you
see
a suspicious fuel leak or if you
smell fuel, do not operate the vehicle; we
recommend you to call for assistance.
Exterior and interior lamp operation
Operate the combination

lamp switch to check that
all lamps are functioning properly.
If the lamps do not illuminate, the probable cause
is a blown fuse or defective lamp bulb. Check the
fuses first. If there is no blown fuses, check the
lamp bulbs.
For information regarding the inspection and re-
placement of the fuses and the lamp bulbs, refer to
“Fuses” on page 8-19 and “Replacement of lamp
bulbs” on page 8-23.
If the fuses and bulbs are all OK, we recommend
you to have your vehicle checked and repaired.
Meter, gauge and indicator/warning
lamps operation
Run the engine to check the operation of all meters,
gauges, and indicator/warning lamps.
If there is anything wrong, we recommend you to
have your vehicle inspected. Hinges and latches lubrication
Check all
latches

and hinges, and, if necessary,
have them lubricated. Maintenance

For cold and snowy weather
E01002800299
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.
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
E01002900434
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.
For the fusible links, please refer to “Fuse load ca-
pacity” on page 8-20. WARNING
l Fusible links
must
not be replaced by any
other device. Failing to fit the correct fusi-
ble link may result in fire in the vehicle,
property destruction and serious or fatal
injuries at any time. Fuses

Fuse block location E01007600250
To prevent damage to the electrical system due to

each individual cir-
cuit is provided with a fuse.
There are fuse blocks in the passenger compart-
ment and in the engine compartment.

The fuse block in the passenger compartment is lo-
cated in front of the driver’s seat at the position

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 block lid (A) to remove it.
3. Remove the fuse puller (B) from the fuse block lid. Maintenance

4. The replacement of fuses located in the driv-
er’s seat leg area should be performed from
the hole of the fuse block lid. 5. 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.
6. Insert a new fuse of the same capacity by us- ing the fuse puller into the same place at the
fuse block. CAUTION
l
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
E01003100521
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. CAUTION
l
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 Do
not attempt

to repair or replace the lamp
bulbs other than described in this owner’s
manual. For repair or replacement, contact a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point.
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 it checked. Maintenance

Replacement of high-beam 1. Remove the bulb
and connector assembly
(A) by turning it anticlockwise. 2. Depress the tab (B) on the harness connector
and pull

the harness connector (C) to remove
it. 3. To
install the bulb, perform the removal
steps in reverse. Replacement of low beam (except for vehicles
with discharge headlamps)
1.Remove the bulb

and connector assembly
(A) by turning it anticlockwise. 2. Depress the tab (B) on the harness connector
and pull

the harness connector (C) to remove

l
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 dry-
ing it thoroughly. Position lamps
