2015 MITSUBISHI L200 coolant level

Fuel lid mark
The fuel lid mark (A) indicates that the fueltank filler door is located on the left side of
the vehicle (Refer to “Filling the fuel tank” on page 2-02).
Low fuel warning lampE00508100739
The warning lamp (A) comes on when the fuel level is getting low (approx. 11 litres)
with the ignition switch in the “ON” position.
Refuel as soon as possible.
NOTEl On inclines or curves, due to the movement
of fuel in the tank, the low fuel warning lamp may indicate incorrectly.Water temperature gauge
E00500800479
The water temperature gauge indicates the
engine coolant temperature when the ignition
switch is in the “ON” position.
CAUTIONl If the indication needle enters the H zone
while the engine is running, it indicates that
the engine is possibly overheating. Immedi-
ately park your vehicle in a safe place and make the necessary corrections. (Refer to“Engine overheating” on page 8-04.)
While driving, care should always be taken
to maintain the normal operating tempera- ture.Daytime dipper button (meter

The rheostat can be adjusted while the head-
lamps or tail lamps turn on.
Turn the dial to adjust the illumination (me- ter, multi centre display, audio system’s con-trol panel, heater control panel, etc.) to thedesired brightness.

3.Confirm that the cooling fan is turning.
If the fan is not turning, stop the engine
immediately and have it checked.

C- Reserve tank
*: if so equipped
WARNINGl Be careful not to get your hands or clothes
caught in the cooling fan.4. After the engine coolant temperature has
dropped to the normal temperature, stop the engine.
5. Check the coolant level in the reserve
tank.
WARNINGl If there is none, make sure that the engine
has cooled down before removing the ra-
diator cap, because hot steam or boiling water otherwise will gush from the fillerport and may scald you.
6. Add coolant to the radiator and/or re-
serve tank if necessary (refer to the
“Maintenance” section.)
CAUTIONl Do not add coolant while the engine is hot.
Suddenly adding cold coolant could damage
the engine. Wait for the engine to cool
down, then add coolant a little at a time.
7. Examine the radiator hoses for coolant
leakage and the drive belt for looseness
or damage.
If there is anything wrong with the cool-
ing system or drive belt, we recommend
you to have it checked and repaired.
Bleeding the fuel system
E00800700312
The fuel system should be bled to remove air
as described below if the fuel supply is ex- hausted during travel.

NOTElUse of additives is not recommended since
they may reduce the effectiveness of addi-
tives already included in the engine oil. It may result in failure of the mechanical as-
sembly.
Vehicles with diesel particulate
filter (DPF)
l Select engine oil of the proper SAE vis-
cosity number according to the atmos- pheric temperature.
l Use engine oil conforming to the follow-
ing classification: • ACEA classification: “For service C1, C2, C3 or C4”
• JASO classification: “For service DL-1”
If those classifications are not available, contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point.

To check the coolant level
A transparent coolant reserve tank (A) is lo-cated in the engine compartment.
The coolant level in this tank should be kept
between the “LOW” and “FULL” marks when measured while the engine is cold.
*: Front of the vehicle
To add coolant
The cooling system is a closed system and
normally the loss of coolant should be very
slight. A noticeable drop in the coolant level
could indicate leakage. If this occurs, we rec- ommend you to have the system checked as
soon as possible.
If the level should drop below the “LOW” level on the reserve tank, open the lid and
add coolant.
Also, if the reserve tank is completely empty, remove the radiator cap (B) and add coolant until the level reaches the filler neck.
WARNINGl Do not open the radiator cap (B) while the
engine is hot. The coolant system is under
pressure and any hot coolant escaping
could cause severe burns.
Anti-freeze
The engine coolant contains an ethylene gly-
col anti-corrosion agent. The cylinder head and water pump housing are cast aluminium
alloy, and periodic changing of the engine coolant is necessary to prevent corrosion of
these parts.

Use “ MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE
SUPER LONG LIFE COOLANT” or equiva- lent.
Engine coolant

Type 2

MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE Coolant
has excellent protection against corrosion and rust formation of all metals including alumi-
nium and can avoid blockages in the radiator, heater, cylinder head, engine block, etc.
Because of the necessity of this anti-corro-
sion agent, the coolant must not be replaced with plain water even in summer. The re-
quired concentration of anti-freeze differs de-
pending on the expected ambient tempera- ture.Ambient

Anti-freezeconcentra- tion %
303540455060CAUTIONl Do not use alcohol or methanol anti-freeze
or any engine coolants mixed with alcohol
or methanol anti-freeze. The use of an im- proper anti-freeze can cause corrosion of the
aluminium components.
l For effective anti-corrosion and anti-freeze
performance, keep the anti-freeze concentra-tion within the range of 30 to 60 %.
Concentrations exceeding 60 % will result in
a reduction of both the anti-freeze and cool-
ing performance thus adversely affecting the
engine.CAUTIONl Do not top up with water only.
Water by itself reduces the rust-protective and anti-freeze qualities of the coolant and
has a lower boiling point. It can also cause damage to the cooling system if it should freeze. Do not use tapwater, as it can causecorrosion and rust formation.
During cold weather
If the temperatures in your area drop below
freezing, there is the danger that the coolant
in the engine or radiator could freeze and cause severe damage to the engine and/or ra-diator.
Add a sufficient amount of anti-freeze to the
coolant to prevent it from freezing.
The concentration should be checked before the start of cold weather and anti-freeze add- ed to the system if necessary.
Automatic transmission
fluid* E01000602125
The proper amount of automatic transmission fluid is essential to the life and operation of
the automatic transmission. Either insuffi- cient fluid or excessive fluid could causetransmission trouble. The transmission fluid filler port cap is equipped with a dipstick.Use the following procedure to check the flu-
id level.
Procedure for checking the flu- id level
1. Check the fluid level after the vehicle
has been driven enough to warm up the
transmission fluid.
2. Park the vehicle on a flat, level surface
and apply the parking brake.
3. With the engine idling and the brake
pedal fully depressed, move the trans- mission selector lever through all the po-sitions from P” (PARK) to “D”
(DRIVE), stopping momentarily at each position.
4. Move the selector lever to the “P”
(PARK) position.
5. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a
clean lint-free cloth.
6. Reinsert the dipstick as far as it goes.
