2015 MITSUBISHI L200 jacking

CAUTIONlBe 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 lever
in “4H” or “4L” position (easy select 4WD), “4H”, “4HLc” or “4LLc” position (super se-
lect 4WD) and with the front or rear wheels
on the ground (Type A or B) as illustrated. This could result in damage to the drivetrain,
or unstable towing.
If you cannot shift the transfer shift lever to “2H” position or the transmission is mal-
functioning or damaged, transport the vehi- cle with all the wheels on a carriage (Type C
or D) as illustrated.
Jacking up a 4-wheel drive ve-
hicle
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.Limited-slip differential*
E00606900037
A limited-slip differential is applied for therear wheel differential only. The features of
this limited-slip differential are described be- low:

Just as with a conventional differential, the wheel on one side is allowed to turn at a dif-
ferent speed from the wheel on the other side
when the vehicle is cornering. The difference between the limited-slip differential and aconventional differential is that if the wheelon one side of the vehicle loses traction, a greater amount of torque is applied to the wheel on the other side to improve traction.
NOTEl Even if there is a difference in the amount of
traction the wheels can get, if both of them
are spinning, the limited-slip differential will not be effective.CAUTIONl Never start the engine while one of the rear
wheels is jacked up and the other in contact
with the ground; doing so may cause the ve- hicle to jump forward.
l When attempting to extract the vehicle from
snow, mud, etc., and the engine is run con-
tinuously at high speed, the limited-slip dif- ferential will be adversely affected.Braking
E00607001928
All the parts of the brake system are critical
to safety. We recommend you to have the ve- hicle checked at regular intervals according
to the service booklet.
CAUTIONl Avoid driving habits that cause heavy brak-
ing and never “ride” the brakes by resting
your foot on the brake pedal while driving.
It causes brake overheating and fade.

Jacking up the vehicle
E00801002606
1. Park the vehicle on level and stable
ground.
2. Set the parking brake firmly.
3. On vehicles with manual transmission,
turn the ignition key to the “LOCK” po-
sition, move the gearshift lever to the “R” (Reverse) position.
On vehicles with automatic transmis- sion, move the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position, turn the ignition key tothe “LOCK” position.
4. Turn on the hazard warning flashers and
set up a warning triangle, flashing signal lamp, etc., at an adequate distance from
the vehicle, and have all your passengers
leave the vehicle.
5. To prevent the vehicle from rolling
when it is raised on the jack, place
chocks or blocks (A) at the tyre that is diagonally opposite from the tyre (B)
you are changing.

WARNINGlBe 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.NOTEl 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 needed.
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 han-
dle ready.
7. Place the jack under one of the jacking
points shown in the illustration. Use the jacking point closest to the tyre you wish
to change.

8-14OKTE15E3For emergencies8

WARNINGlSet the jack only at the positions shown
here. If the jack is set at a wrong position, it could dent your vehicle or the jack
might fall over and cause personal injury.
l Do not use the jack on a tilted or soft sur-
face. Otherwise, the jack might slip and cause personal injury. Always use the jack on a flat, hard surface. Before setting
the jack, make sure there are no sand or pebbles under the jack base.NOTEl When jacking up the rear of the vehicle, turn
the tip of the jack so that the grooved portion
(F) properly meets the designated point.To raise the vehicle
1. Using the jack handle, turn the release
valve (G) clockwise until it stops.
2. Insert the jack handle in the bracket of
the jack and hook the notch (H) on the jack handle end to the claw (I) of thebracket.
3. Move the jack handle up and down to
raise the ram until just before the jack contacts the jacking point of the vehicle.
Ensure that the jack will properly con-
tact the vehicle jacking point.
Move the jack handle up and down to raise the vehicle.NOTEl This jack is a 2 stage expansion type.
To lower the vehicle
1.
Put the notch (J) provided on the jack
handle end on the valve (K) of the jack.

2.Using the jack handle, turn the release
valve anticlockwise slowly to lower theram and remove the jack.
3. Press the piston down all the way, and
turn the release valve clockwise as far as possible.
4. Store jack, jack handle and chocks.
WARNINGl Be sure to open the release valve slowly. If
it is opened quickly, the vehicle will drop
abruptly and the jack may come out of position, causing a serious accident.CAUTIONl If the release valve is loosened too much (2
or more turns) in the anticlockwise direction, the jack’s oil will leak and the jack cannot
be used.CAUTIONl Close the release valve slowly when lower-
ing the vehicle, or the valve may be dam-
aged.NOTEl Occasionally when the vehicle is jacked up,
the grooved portion of the designated pointwill not come off. When this happens, rock
the vehicle to lower the ram.
l If the jack is difficult to remove by hand, in-
sert the jack handle (L) into the bracket (M).
Then using the handle, remove the jack.WARNINGl Stop jacking up the vehicle as soon as the
tyre is raised off the ground. It is danger-
ous to raise the vehicle any higher.WARNINGl Do not get under your vehicle while using
the jack.
l Do not bump the raised vehicle or leave it
sitting on the jack for a long time. Both
are very dangerous.
l Do not use a jack except the one that
came with your vehicle.
l The jack should not be used for any pur-
pose other than to change a tyre.
l No one should be in your vehicle when us-
ing the jack.
l Do not start or run the engine while your
vehicle is on the jack.
l Do not turn the raised wheel. The tyres
still on the ground could turn and make your vehicle fall off the jack.

6. Get the spare wheel, jack, jack handle
and wheel nut wrench ready.
NOTEl Put the spare wheel under the vehicle body
near the flat tyre. This makes it safer if the jack slips out of position.
7. Loosen the wheel nuts with the wheel
nut wrench. Do not remove the wheel nuts yet.

8.Find the closest jacking point to the flat
tyre (refer to “Jacking up the vehicle” on page 8-13). Then position the jack and
raise the vehicle until the tyre is slightly off the ground.
9. Remove the wheel nuts with the wheel
nut wrench, then take the wheel off.CAUTIONl Handle the wheel carefully when changing
the tyre, to avoid scratching the wheel sur- face.
10. Clean out any mud, etc. on the hub sur-
face (C), hub bolts (D) or in the installa- tion holes (E) in the wheel, and then
mount the spare wheel.
WARNINGl Mount the spare wheel with the valve
stem (F) facing outboard. If you cannot see the valve stem (F), 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.
11. 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) un-
til the flanges of the wheel nuts touch the wheel and the wheel is not loose.
Normal wheels and spare wheel
(aluminium wheels)
With a spare wheel, tighten the wheel
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.
