2014 MITSUBISHI L200 4WD

CAUTIONlAlways use tyres of the same size, same
type, and same brand, and which have no
wear differences. Using tyres of different
size, type, brands or degree of wear, will
increase the differential oil temperature,
resulting in possible damage to the driv-
ing system. Further, the drive train will
be subjected to excessive loading, possibly
leading to oil leakage, component seizure,
or other serious faults.
Towing
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.
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 “Towing” on page 6-20 .CAUTIONl Be sure to shift the transfer shift lever to
“2H” position and transport the vehicle
with the driving wheels on a carriage
(Type A, C or D) as illustrated.
Never try to tow with the transfer shift lev-
er in “4H” or “4L” position (easy select
4WD), “4H”, “4HLc” or “4LLc” position
(super select 4WD) and with the front or
rear wheels on the ground (Type A or B)
as illustrated. This could result in dam-
age to the drivetrain, or unstable towing.
If you cannot shift the transfer shift lever
to “2H” position or the transmission is
malfunctioning or damaged, transport
the vehicle with all the wheels on a car-
riage (Type C or D) as illustrated.
Jacking up a 4-wheel drive vehicle
WARNINGl Do not crank the engine while jacking up
the vehicle.
The tyre on the ground may turn and the
vehicle may roll off the jack.
Clutch operation
Quick or slight clutch engagement made while the
engine is running at high speed will cause damage
to the clutch and transmission because the tractive
force is very great.
Operate the pedal slowly and positively.

is raised on the jack, place chocks or blocks
(A) at the tyre that is diagonally opposite
from the tyre (B) you are changing.WARNINGl Be sure to apply chocks or blocks to the
correct tyre when jacking up the vehicle.
If the vehicle moves while jacked up, the
jack could slip out of position, leading to
an accident.
NOTE
l The chocks shown in the illustration do not
come with your vehicle. It is recommended
that you keep one in the vehicle for use if nee-
ded.
l If chocks are not available, use stones or any
other objects that are large enough to hold
the wheel in position.
6. Get the spare wheel, jack and jack handle
ready.
7. Place the jack under one of the jacking
points shown in the illustration. Use the jack-
ing point closest to the tyre you wish to
change.

The regulations concerning towing may differ from
country to country. It is recommended that you
obey the regulations of the area where you are driv-
ing your vehicle.Towing the vehicle by a tow truckCAUTIONl This vehicle must not be towed by a tow
truck using sling lift type equipment
(Type A) as illustrated. Using a sling lift
will damage the bumper and front end.
l On 4WD vehicles, be sure to shift the trans-
fer shift lever to “2H” position and trans-
port the vehicle with the driving wheels
on a carriage (Type C, D or E) as illustra-
ted. Never try to tow with the transfer
shift lever in “4H” or “4L” position (easy
select 4WD), “4H”, “4HLc” or “4LLc” po-
sition (super select 4WD) and with the
front or rear wheels on the ground (Type
B or C) as illustrated. This could result in
driving system damage or the vehicle
may jump at the carriage. If you cannot
shift the transfer shift lever to the “2H”
position or the transmission is malfunc-
tioning or damaged, transport the vehicle
with all wheels on a carriage (Type D or
E) as illustrated.
l If your vehicle equipped with the Active
Stability & Traction Control system
(ASTC), if the vehicle is towed with the ig-
nition switch in the “ON” position and on-
ly the front wheels or only the rear
wheels raised off the ground, the active
Traction Control System may operate, re-
sulting in an accident.
l On 2WD vehicles, if the transmission is
malfunctioning or damaged, transport
the vehicle with the driving wheels on a
carriage (Type C, D or E) as illustrated.CAUTIONl If you tow a vehicle with automatic trans-
mission with the driving wheels on the
ground (Type B) as illustrated, make sure
that the towing speed and distance given
below are never exceeded, causing dam-
age to the transmission.

Towing speed: 50 km/h (30 mph)
Towing distance: 50 km (30 miles)

For the towing speed and the towing dis-
tance, follow the local driving laws and
regulations.
Towing with front wheels off the ground (Type B)
Place the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral) posi-
tion (manual transmission) or the selector lever in
the “N” (NEUTRAL) position (automatic transmis-
sion).
Release the parking brake.
CAUTIONl Never tow an automatic transmission ve-
hicle with the front wheels up (and the
rear wheels on the ground) (Type B)
when the automatic transmission fluid lev-
el is low. This may cause serious and ex-
pensive damage to the transmission.

4WD vehicles)Rear*
NOTE
l Using any part other than the designated tow-
ing hooks could result in damage to the vehi-
cle body.
l Using a wire rope or metal chain can result
in damage to the vehicle body. It is best to
use a non-metallic rope. If you use a wire
rope or metal chain, wrap it with cloth at any
point where it touches the vehicle body.
l Take care that the tow rope is kept as horizon-
tal as possible. An angled tow rope can dam-
age the vehicle body.
l Secure the tow rope to the same side towing
hook, to keep the tow rope as straight as pos-
sible.
2. Keep the engine running. If the engine is not running, turn the ignition
key to the “ACC” or “ON” position to un-
lock the steering wheel.CAUTIONl When the engine is not running, the
brake booster and power steering pump
do not operate. This means higher brake
depression force and higher steering ef-
fort are required. Therefore, vehicle oper-
ation is more difficult than usual.
l Do not leave the key in the “LOCK” posi-
tion. The steering wheel will lock, causing
loss of control.
3. Place the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral)
position (manual transmission) or the selec-
tor lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position (au-
tomatic transmission).
4. On 4WD vehicles, the transfer shift lever to
“2H” position.
5. Turn on the hazard warning lamps if required by law.
( Follow the local driving laws and regula-
tions.)
6. During towing make sure that close contact
is maintained between the drivers of both ve-
hicles, and that the vehicles travel at low
speed.

WARNINGlTo prevent entry of exhaust gas from the
towing vehicle, set your air selection lever
to the recirculation position.CAUTIONl Avoid sudden braking, sudden accelera-
tion and sharp turning; such operation
could cause damage to the towing hooks
or the tow rope.
People in the vicinity could be injured as
a result.
l When towing or being towed down a long
slope, the brakes may overheat reducing
the effectiveness. In this situation, have
your vehicle transported by a tow truck.
l When the vehicle with automatic trans-
mission is to be towed by another vehicle
with all the wheels on the ground, make
sure that the towing speed and distance
given below are never exceeded, causing
damage to the transmission.

Towing speed: 50 km/h (30 mph)
Towing distance: 50 km (30 miles)

For the towing speed and the towing dis-
tance, follow the local driving laws and
regulations.
If your vehicle tows another vehicle (vehicles with
rear towing hook only)
The rear towing hook is located as shown in the il-
lustration. Secure the tow rope to the rear towing
hook.
NOTE
l Using any part other than the designated tow-
ing hook could result in damage to the vehi-
cle body.CAUTIONl On vehicles with super select 4WD, when
you are going to tow another vehicle,
move the transfer shift lever to “4H” posi-
tion.
Selecting “2H” drive may increase the dif-
ferential oil temperature, resulting in pos-
sible damage to the driving system.
Further, the drive train will be subjected
to excessive loading possibly leading to oil
leakage, component seizure, or other seri-
ous faults.NOTE
l Your vehicle should only be used to tow an-
other vehicle if the weight of the other vehi-
cle is less than the weight of your vehicle.

When rotating tyres, check for uneven wear and
damage. Abnormal wear is usually caused by incor-
rect tyre pressure, improper wheel alignment, out
of balance wheel, or severe braking. We recom-
mend you to have it checked to determine the
cause of irregular tread wear.Spare tyre used*Spare tyre not usedFrontFrontFrontTyres that have arrows showing rotation direction
*- If the spare tyre wheel differs from the stand-
ard tyre wheel, do not perform tyre rotation us-
ing a spare wheel.
CAUTIONl If the tyres have arrows (A) indicating
the correct direction of rotation, swap the
front and rear wheels on the left hand
side of the vehicle and the front and rear
wheels on the right hand side of the vehi-
cle separately. Keep each tyre on its origi-
nal side of the vehicle. When fitting the
tyres, make sure the arrows point in the
direction in which the wheels will turn
when the vehicle moves forward. Any
tyre whose arrow points in the wrong di-
rection will not perform to its full poten-
tial.Front
CAUTIONl Avoid the combined use of different types
of tyres.
Using different types of tyres can affect ve-
hicle performance and safety.Snow tyres E01002000725
The use of snow tyres is recommended for driving
on snow and ice. To preserve driving stability,
mount snow tyres of the same size and tread pat-
tern on all 4 wheels.
Snow tyres worn more than 50% are no longer suit-
able for use as snow tyres.
Snow tyres which do not meet specifications must
not be used.CAUTIONl Observe permissable maximum speed for
your snow tyres and the legal speed limit.
NOTE
l The laws and regulations concerning snow
tyres (driving speed, required use, type, etc.)
vary. Find out and follow the laws and regu-
lations in the area you intend to drive.
l If flange nuts are used on your vehicle,
change to tapered nuts when steel wheels are
used.
Tyre chains E01002101983
It is recommended that snow chains are carried in
snow regions and fitted when required to the rear
wheels.
On 4WD vehicles in which the driving power is dis-
tributed preferentially to the rear wheels, ensure
that the tyre chains are fitted on the rear.
Use only tyre chains which are designed for use
with the tyres mounted on the vehicle: use of the in-
correct size or type of chain could result in damage
to the vehicle body.
