2017 MITSUBISHI L200 engine

Check that your towing bar coupling ball
does not obscure your vehicle’s licence plate when the trailer or caravan is disconnected. Ifit obscures the licence plate, please remove
the towing bar coupling ball. And if the tow-
ing bar coupling ball is lockable by using a
key or any kind of tools, please remove the coupling ball and use a towing bar coupling
ball which can be removed or repositioned
without the use of a key or any kind of tools instead.
The regulations concerning the towing of a
trailer may differ from country to country.
You are advised to obey the regulations in
each area.CAUTIONl Danger of Accident!
A towing bar should be fitted according to
MITSUBISHI MOTORS guidelines.NOTEl If you are going to tow a trailer, pay careful
attention to the following points.Maximum towable weight with
brake and maximum trailer- nose weight
Never exceed the maximum towable weight
with brake and the maximum trailer-nose weight as listed in the specifications. (Referto “Vehicle weight” on page 11-11.)
If you tow a trailer at an altitude of more than
1,000 m above sea-level, reduce your weight
by 10 % of the gross combination weight for
every increase of 1,000 m above sea-level, as the engine output is lowered owing to de-
crease in atmospheric pressure.
Towing bar mounting specifi-cations

Item 9: at kerb weight
NOTEl The value under item 9 is applicable to unla-
den vehicles. This value can also be varied depending on the tyre size, optional equip-
ment and suspension conditions.Operating hints
l Have your vehicle serviced prior to tow-
ing a heavy trailer, taking particular care
of the state of engine tune, the condition of brakes, steering and tyres.
Adjust tyre pressures to those specifica- tions at trailer towing.
(Refer to “tyre inflation pressures” on
page 10-12.)
Check the tyres, wiring and brakes (if fitted) on the trailer.
l Leave plenty of room between the front
of your vehicle and the preceding vehi- cle.
If the trailer begins to sway or becomes difficult to handle, gently slow down or
apply the independent trailer brakes (if fitted) NOT the vehicle brakes. Stop the
vehicle and trailer in a safe location.
One cause of swaying is poor trailer bal-
ance and until this has been overcome the swaying will recur. Relocated the load in your trailer and re-assess the
problem.
l Be sure that the driving speed does not
exceed 100 km/h (62 mph) for trailer op-
eration.
It is also recommended that you obey the
local regulations in case driving speed with a trailer is limited to less than
100 km/h (62 mph).
l To prevent the clutch from slipping (ve-
hicle with a M/T only), do not rev the
engine more than is required when start-
ing off.
l To prevent shocks from the overrun
brake, depress the brake pedal lightly at
first and then more strongly.
l To make full use of engine braking,
change to a lower gear before descend-
ing a slope.
l The body, brakes, clutch, and chassis
will be under additional strain when
towing a trailer.
l The heavier weight and higher rolling
and air resistance will increase fuel con- sumption.
Additional precautions for vehi-
cles equipped with A/T
It is recommended to use a lower gear in
sports mode on slopes or at low speed, taking care to keep the engine speed below the red
zone.

be reduced while the system is operating in the AUTO mode.
l When the temperature is set to the highest or
the lowest, the air selection and the air con-
ditioner will be automatically changed as follows.
Also, if the air selection is operated manual-
ly after an automatic changeover, manual operation will be selected.
• Quick Heating (When the temperature is
set to the highest setting)
Outside air will be introduced and the air conditioner will stop.
• Quick Cooling (When the temperature is
set to the lowest setting)
Inside air will be recirculated and the air
conditioner will operate.
The settings described above are the factory
settings.

NOTElNormally, use the outside position to keep
the windscreen and side windows clear and
quickly remove fog or frost from the wind- screen.
If high cooling performance is desired, or if
the outside air is dusty or otherwise contami- nated use the recirculation position. Switch
to the outside position periodically to in- crease ventilation so that the windows do notbecome fogged up.
l When the engine coolant temperature rises
to a certain level, the air selection is auto- matically switched to the recirculation posi-
tion and the indication lamp (A) comes on. At this time, the system will not switch tothe outside position even if the air selection
switch is pressed.Customizing the air selection

NOTElFor vehicles with the Auto Stop & Go
(AS&G) system, if the demister switch is
pressed, the Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) sys- tem will not operate and the engine will notstop automatically even if the vehicle is stopped. This is to ensure that good visibility
is maintained.Important operation tips for
the air conditioning E00708302128
lPark 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 DH-PR.
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.
Air purifier*
E00708401773
An air filter has been incorporated into thisair conditioner 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 conditioner can lead to reduction of serv-
ice 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 easi- ly, replace the air filter.
We recommend you to have it checked.
