2015 MITSUBISHI L200 jump start

The lock button need not be pushed to
move the selector lever.WARNINGl If the lock button is always pushed to op-
erate the selector lever, the lever may beaccidentally shifted into the “P” (PARK)
or “R” (REVERSE) position. Be sure not to push the lock button when performing
the operations indicated by
in the illus-
tration.
l Always depress the brake pedal when
shifting the selector lever into a gear from the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL) po-sition.
When beginning to drive, do not shift the
selector lever from the “P” (PARK) or
“N” (NEUTRAL) position while depress-
ing the accelerator pedal, doing so is dan- gerous because the vehicle will “jump”
forward or backward.
When the selector lever cannot
be shifted from the “P” (PARK)
position
When the selector lever cannot be shifted from the “P” (PARK) position to another po-
sition while the brake pedal is pressed and
held down with the ignition switch at the
“ON” position, the battery may be flat or the shift-lock mechanism may be malfunction- ing.
Immediately have your vehicle checked by
an authorized MITSUBISHI MOTORS deal-
er.
If you need to move the vehicle, shift the se- lector lever as follows. 1. Make sure the parking brake is applied.
2. Stop the engine if it is running.
3. Depress the brake pedal with the right
foot.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the “ACC”
position.
5. Insert a straight blade (or minus) screw-
driver in the shiftlock release hole (A).
Shift the selector lever to the “N” (NEU-
TRAL) position while pressing the straight blade (or minus) screwdriver down.Selector lever position indica-
tor

When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position, the current position of the se- lector lever is indicated by the indicator (A)
shown on the instrument cluster {i.e. “P” (PARK), “R” (REVERSE), “N” (NEU-
TRAL), “D” (DRIVE)}.

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.

If the vehicle breaks downE00800101166
If the vehicle breaks down on the road, move it to the shoulder and use the hazard warning
flashers and/or the warning triangle etc.
Refer to “Hazard warning flasher switch” on page 5-37.
If the engine stops/fails
Vehicle operation and control are affected if
the engine stops.
Before moving the vehicle to a safe area, be aware of the following:
l The brake booster becomes inoperative
and the pedal effort will increase. Press
down the brake pedal harder than usual.
l Since the power steering pump is no lon-
ger operative, the steering wheel feels
heavy when turning it.
Emergency starting
E00800502112
If the engine cannot be started because thebattery is weak or dead, the battery from an-other vehicle can be used with jumper cables to start the engine.
WARNINGl To start the engine using jumper cables
connected from another vehicle, perform
the correct procedures according to the instruction manual. Incorrect procedures could result in a fire or explosion or dam-
age to the vehicles.
1. Get the vehicles close enough so the
jumper cables can reach, but be sure the vehicles aren’t touching each other.If they are, it could cause a ground con-
nection you don’t want. The vehicle will not start, and the bad grounding could
damage the electrical systems.
CAUTIONl Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-
volt battery.
If the other system isn’t 12-volt, shorting can damage both vehicles.
2. You could be injured if the vehicles
move. Set the parking brake firmly on
each vehicle. Put an automatic transmis-
sion in “P” (PARK) or a manual trans- mission in “N” (Neutral). Turn off the
ignition switch.
WARNINGl Turn off the ignition on both vehicles be-
forehand.
Make sure that the cables or your clothes cannot be caught by the fan or drive belt.
Personal injury could result.NOTEl Turn off all lamps, heater and other electri-
cal loads. This will avoid sparks and help
save both batteries.
3. Make sure battery electrolyte is at the
proper level.
Refer to “Battery” on page 10-10.
WARNINGl If electrolyte fluid is not visible, or ap-
pears to be frozen, Do Not Attempt Jump
Starting!
A battery might rupture or explode if the temperature is below the freezing point orif it is not filled to the proper level.
4. Connect one end of one jumper cable to
the positive (+) terminal of the dis-charged battery (A), and the other end to
the positive (+) terminal of the booster
battery (B).

Vehicles with 1 battery
Vehicles with 2 batteries
5.Connect one end of the other jumper ca-
ble to the negative (-) terminal of the
booster battery (B), and the other end to
the engine block of the vehicle with the
discharged battery at the point farthest from the battery.
NOTEl Open the cover before connecting the jump-
er cable to the positive (+) terminal of thebattery.
(Refer to “Battery” on page 10-10.)WARNINGl Be sure to observe the connecting se-
quence of .
l Make sure that the connection
is made
to the appointed position (shown in the il-
lustration). If the connection is made di-
rectly to the negative side of the battery, the inflammable gasses generated from the battery might catch fire and explode.
l When connecting the jumper cables, do
not connect the positive (+) cable to the
negative (-) terminal.
Otherwise sparks might cause explosion
of the battery.
CAUTIONl Take care not to get the jumper cable caught
in the cooling fan or other rotating part in
the engine compartment.
l Use the proper cables suitable for the battery
size.
Otherwise heat damage to the cables could
result.
l Check the jumper cables for damage and
corrosion before use.6. Start the engine in the vehicle which has
the booster battery, let the engine idle a
few minutes, then start the engine in the vehicle with the discharged battery.CAUTIONl Keep the engine of the vehicle giving assis-
tance running.
7. After the engine is started, disconnect
the cables in the reverse order.
WARNINGl Charging the battery while it is installed
in the vehicle might cause the battery to
catch fire and explode.
Or damage to the vehicle could result. If it has to be charged in that condition for un- avoidable reasons, disconnect the vehicle
side negative (-) terminal connected to the
battery.
l Keep sparks, cigarettes and flames away
from the battery because the battery may
produce an explosion.
l Use adequate ventilation when charging
or using the battery in an enclosed space.
l Remove all the caps before charging the
battery.
