2015 MITSUBISHI L200 air filter

Important operation tips forthe air conditioning E00708300951
l Park the vehicle in the shade.
Parking in the hot sun will make the ve-
hicle inside extremely hot, and it will re-
quire more time to cool the interior.
If it is necessary to park in the sun, open the windows for the first few minutes of
air conditioning operation to expel the
hot air.
l Close the windows when the air condi-
tioning is in use. The entry of outside air
through open windows will reduce the cooling efficiency.
l Too much cooling is not good for the
health. The inside air temperature should
only be 5 to 6 °C below the outside air temperature.
l When operating the system, make sure
the air intake, which is located in front
of the windscreen, is free of obstructions such as leaves and snow. Leaves collec- ted in the air-intake plenum may reduce
air flow and plug the plenum water
drains.Air conditioning system refrig-
erant and lubricant recommen-dations
If the air conditioning seems less effective than usual, the cause might be a refrigerant
leak. We recommend you to have the system inspected.
The air conditioning system in your vehicle must be charged with the refrigerant
HFC-134a and the lubricant ZXL-100PG.
Use of any other refrigerant or lubricant will
cause severe damage which will result in the need to replace your vehicle’s entire air con-
ditioning system. The release of refrigerant into the atmosphere should be prevented.
It is recommended that the refrigerant be re- covered and recycled for further use.
During a long period of disuse
The air conditioning should be operated for at
least five minutes each week, even in cold
weather. This is to prevent poor lubrication of the compressor internal parts and to main-
tain the air conditioning in the best operating
condition.

An air filter has been incorporated into this air conditioning so that dirt and dust are
cleaned from the air.
Replace the air filter periodically as its ability
to clean the air will be reduced as it collects pollen and dirt. For the maintenance interval,
refer to the “SERVICE BOOKLET”.NOTEl Operation in certain conditions such as driv-
ing on a dusty road and frequent use of the air conditioning can lead to reduction of
service life of the filter. When you feel that the air flow is lower than normal or when the windscreen or windows start to fog up
easily, replace the air filter.
We recommend you to have it checked.

Type 1
1.Loosen the air plug (A) at the top of the
fuel filter.
2. Pump the hand pump (B) until there are
no more bubbles in the fuel coming out
of the air plug (A). When doing this, place a cloth around the air plug (A) toprevent the escaping fuel from spraying
out.
3. Tighten the air plug (A) when there are
no more bubbles in the fuel.
4. Continue pumping until the hand pump
(B) becomes stiff.
5. Finally, check to be sure that there is no
leakage of fuel.
If in doubt, we recommend you to con-
sult a specialist for necessary informa- tion.
Type 2, 3
Pump the hand pump (A) at the top of the fuel filter until the hand pump becomes stiff.Then try again to start the engine.
If the engine does not start, repeat the process
above.

times in order to force the water out
through the drain plug (A).

no longer comes out.
4. Bleed the air in the fuel system. (Refer to “Bleeding the fuel system” onpage 8-05.)
5. Check to be sure that the fuel filter indi-
cation lamp illuminates when the igni- tion switch is turned to “ON”, and that it
goes off when the engine is started. If in
doubt, we recommend you to consult a specialist for necessary information.
