2011 MITSUBISHI PAJERO IV oil change

On vehicles with A/T, make sure
the selector
lever is in the “P” (PARK) position.
Vehicles with M/T Vehicles with A/T6. Turn the ignition key to the “ON” position.
The diesel preheat

indication lamp will first
illuminate, and then after a short time go out,
indicating that preheating is completed.
NOTE l If the engine is cold, the diesel preheat indi-
cation lamp is on for a longer time.
l When the engine has not been started within
about 5 seconds after the diesel preheat indi-
cation lamp went out, return the ignition key
to the “LOCK” position. Then, turn the key
to the “ON” position to preheat the engine
again.
l When the engine is warm, the diesel preheat
indication lamp does not come on even if the
ignition key is placed in the “ON” position.
Start the engine by turning the ignition key
right to the “START” position. 7. Turn the ignition key to the “START” posi-
tion without depressing the accelerator pedal,
and release it when the engine starts.
Fuel injection amount learning proc-
ess (diesel-powered vehicles) E00616000044
To keep

exhaust emissions and engine noise low,
the engine very

occasionally performs a learning
process for the fuel injection amount.
The engine sounds slightly different from usual
while the learning process is taking place. The
change in the engine sound does not indicate a fault. Diesel particulate filter (DPF)*
E00619800027
The diesel particulate

filter (DPF) is a device that
captures most of the particulate matter (PM) in the
exhaust emissions of the diesel engine. The DPF au-
tomatically burns away trapped PM during vehicle
operation. Under certain driving conditions, howev-
er, the DPF is not able to burn away all of the trap-
ped PM and, as a result, an excessive amount of
PM accumulates inside it. WARNING
l The DPF reaches very high temperatures.
Do not
park

your vehicle in areas where
combustible materials such as dry grass
or leaves can come in contact with a hot
exhaust system since a fire could occur. CAUTION
l
Do not use
any type of fuel or engine oil
that is not specified for your vehicle. Al-
so, do not use any moisture-removing
agent or other fuel additive. Such substan-
ces could have a detrimental effect on the
DPF.
Refer to “Fuel selection” on page 02 and
“Engine oil” on page 8-04.
NOTE l To
minimize the

likelihood of excessive ac-
cumulation of PM, try to avoid driving for
long periods at low speeds and repeatedly
driving short distances. Starting and driving

Location of rear-view camera
The rear-view camera
(A) is integrated into the
spare wheel garnish. Range of view of rear-view camera How to use the rear-view camera
When you
place

the shift lever in the “R” (Re-
verse) position (on vehicles with M/T) or selector
lever in the “R” (REVERSE) position (on vehicles
with A/T) with the ignition switch in the “ON” po-
sition, the view behind the vehicle will automatical-
ly appear on the screen of the MITSUBISHI Multi
Communication System (MMCS) or the inside rear-
view mirror. When you move the shift lever or se-
lector lever to any other position, the screen will re-
turn to its original indication. CAUTION
l
The rear-view
camera
has a special lens
that can make objects shown on the
screen appear to be closer or further
away than they actually are. CAUTION
l
The line (red)
shows the point approxi-
mately 50 cm behind the rear extremity
of the rear bumper.
Be careful because the spare wheel gar-
nish overhangs for approximately 30 cm
behind the rear extremity of the rear
bumper.
NOTE l If
you press

any of the buttons on the
MITSUBISHI Multi Communication System
(MMCS) control panel while the screen is
showing the view from the rear-view camera,
the screen indication will change to the one
for that button.
l Because the rear-view camera has a special
lens, the lines on the ground between parking
spaces may not look parallel on the screen.
l In the following situations, the screen indica-
tion may be difficult to see. There is no ab-
normality.
• Low light (night time)
• When the light of the sun or the lightfrom a vehicle’s headlamps shines direct-
ly into the lens
l If the camera is hot and is then cooled by
rain or a car wash, the lens can mist up. This
phenomenon does not indicate a malfunction.
l It is not possible to fully see obstacles when
the lens is dirty. If the lens becomes contami-
nated by water droplets, snow, mud or oil,
wipe off the contamination, taking care not
to scratch the lens.
l Please observe the following cautions. Ignor-
ing them could lead to a camera malfunction. Starting and driving

WARNING
l Mount the spare wheel with the valve
stem (I) facing outboard. If you cannot
see the valve stem, you have installed the
wheel backwards.
Operating the vehicle with the spare
wheel installed backwards can cause vehi-
cle damage and result in an accident. 9. Finger-tighten the
wheel
nuts. (Turn them
clockwise.)

Vehicles with steel wheels
Tighten the wheel nuts (tapered nuts) until
the tapered parts of the wheel nuts make
light contact with the seats of the wheel
holes and the wheel is not loose. With a spare wheel, tighten the wheel nuts in
the same way.
Vehicles with aluminium wheels
Tighten the
wheel

nuts (flange nuts) until
their flange section comes in contact with the
wheel and is no longer loose. CAUTION
l
Never apply oil
to either the wheel bolts
or the nuts, or they will tighten too much.
NOTE l Flange
nuts can

be temporarily used on the
steel wheel as shown in the illustration, but
return to the original wheel and tyre as soon
as possible. l
If all
four
aluminium wheels are changed to
steel wheels, use tapered nuts.
10. Put the notch (J) provided on the jack handle end on the valve (K) of the jack. For emergencies

CAUTION
l
After
changing
the tyre and driving the ve-
hicle about 1,000 km (620 miles), retight-
en the wheel nuts to make sure that they
have not come loose.
l If the steering wheel vibrates when driv-
ing after changing the tyre, we recom-
mend you to have the tyres checked for
balance.
l Do not mix one type of tyre with another
or use a different size from the one listed.
This would cause early wear and poor han-
dling.
To store the flat tyre or spare tyre E00803400192
1. Attach the wheel to the spare wheel hanger
(A) while

aligning the holes in the wheel
with the bolts on the spare wheel hanger.
Using the wheel nut wrench, tighten the
spare wheel bolts firmly.

Tightening torque
37 to 54 Nm (Achieved by applying a force of 140 to
200 N
at the end of the wheel nut wrench sup-
plied with the vehicle.) 2. Reverse the opening procedure when closing
the spare wheel garnish.

Tightening torque

for spare wheel garnish
mounting bolt
11 to 25 Nm
(Achieved by applying a force of 40 to 92 N
at the end of the wheel nut wrench supplied
with the vehicle.) CAUTION
l
The spare
wheel
should always be se-
cured during vehicle operation. If a flat
tyre is changed, put the flat tyre in the
spare wheel mounting position, and use
the wheel nut wrench to secure it firmly.
NOTE l Have
your damaged

tyre repaired as soon as
possible. Towing
E00801503552
If your vehicle needs to be towed
If towing
is

necessary, we recommend you to have
it done by your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point or a commercial tow truck service.

In the following cases, transport the vehicle using a
tow truck.
l The engine runs but the vehicle does not
move or abnormal noise is produced.
l Inspection of the vehicle’s underside reveals
that oil or some other fluid is leaking.
If a wheel gets stuck in a ditch, do not try to tow
the vehicle. Please contact your authorized
MITSUBISHI MOTORS dealer or a commercial
tow truck service for assistance.

Only when you cannot receive a towing service
from a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point or commercial tow truck service, tow
your vehicle carefully in accordance with the in-
structions given in “Emergency towing” in this part.
