2018 MITSUBISHI L200 sport mode

CAUTIONlIf the selector lever position display blinks
while you are driving, it is likely that a safe-
ty device is operating because of a malfunc- tion in the automatic transmission. Immedi-
ately have the vehicle inspected at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.When the A/T (automatic trans-
mission) fluid temperature warning lamp comes on
E00615301236
The automatic transmission fluid temperature warning lamp comes on and a buzzer may
sound, when the automatic transmission fluid
temperature becomes abnormally high. Nor- mally the warning lamp comes on when the
ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode is put in ON, and then
will go off after a few seconds.
CAUTIONl If the lamp comes on, reduce the engine
speed and stop the vehicle in a safe area.Then set the selector lever to “P” (PARK)
position and idle the engine until the warn-
ing lamp goes off. When the warning lamp goes off, resume normal driving. If the
warning lamp does not go off, we recom- mend you to have your vehicle inspected.Operation of the A/T
E00604201697
CAUTIONl Before selecting a gear with the engine run-
ning and the vehicle stationary, fully depress
the brake pedal to prevent the vehicle from
creeping.
The vehicle will begin to move as soon as the gear is engaged, especially when the en- gine speed is high, at fast idle or with the airconditioner operating, the brakes should on-
ly be released when you are ready to drive
away.
l Depress the brake pedal with the right foot at
all times.
Using the left foot could cause driver move- ment delay in case of an emergency.
l To prevent sudden acceleration, never race
the engine when shifting from the “P”
(PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL) position.CAUTIONl Operating the accelerator pedal while the
other foot is resting on the brake pedal will affect braking efficiency and may cause pre-
mature wear of brake pads.
l Use the selector lever in the correct shift po-
sition in accordance with driving conditions.Never coast downhill backward with the se-
lector lever in the {“D” (DRIVE) or sports mode} or coast forward with the selector
lever in the “R” (REVERSE) position.
The engine may stop and the unexpected in- crease in brake pedal effort and steering
wheel weight could lead to an accident.
l Do not race the engine with brake pedal
pressed when the vehicle is stationary.
This can damage the A/T.
Also, when you depress the accelerator ped- al while holding down the brake pedal withthe selector lever in the “P” (PARK), “N”
(NEUTRAL) or “D” (DRIVE) position, the
engine revolutions may not rise as high as when performing the same operation with
the selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL)
position.Passing acceleration
E00604501342
To gain extra acceleration in “D” (DRIVE)
position, push the accelerator to the floor.The A/T will automatically downshift.
Automatic transmission Sports Mode 5A/T
6-34OKTE18E1Starting and driving6

NOTElIn sports mode, downshifts do not take place
when the accelerator is depressed all the way to the floor.Waiting
E00604601372
For short waiting periods, such as at traffic
signals, the vehicle can be left in gear and held stationary with the service brake.
For longer waiting periods with the engine
running, place the selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position and apply the parking
brake, while holding the vehicle stationary with the service brake.
CAUTIONl Never hold the vehicle stationary on a hill
using the accelerator pedal (without using
the brake pedal). Always apply the parking brake and/or service brakes.Parking
E00604700187
To park the vehicle, first bring it to a com-
plete stop, fully engage the parking brake,and then move the selector lever to the “P”
(PARK) position.
If you are going to leave the vehicle unatten-
ded, always switch off the engine and carry the key.
NOTEl On a slope, be sure to apply the parking
brake before moving the selector lever to the
“P” (PARK) position. If you move the selec- tor lever to the “P” (PARK) position before applying the parking brake, it may be diffi-
cult to disengage the selector lever from the
“P” (PARK) position when next you drive the vehicle, requiring application of a strong
force to the selector lever to move from the
“P” (PARK) position.When the automatic transmis-
sion makes no speed change
E00604801882
If the transmission does not change speeds
while driving, or your vehicle does not pick up enough speed when starting on an uphillslope, it may be that there is something un-
usual happening in the transmission, causing a safety device to activate. Immediately have
your vehicle checked at a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point. 1. If your vehicle has difficulty moving up-
hill, shift the selector lever into 2 nd
gear
of the sports mode. This method might
not work depending on the transmission malfunction.
2. Once the vehicle is moving on a level
road, move the selector lever back to“D” (DRIVE).
NOTEl When the selector lever position display in
the instrument panel blinks, it means that
there is an abnormal condition in the trans- mission.
Refer to “When the selector lever position
display blinks” on page 6-33.Easy Select 4WD*
E00614701259
Shifting to rear-wheel drive or 4-wheel drivecan be made by operating the drive mode-se-
lector (A). Set the drive mode-selector to an appropriate position according to the roadsurface conditions. In addition, the 2WD/4WD operation indication lamp and the
low-range indication lamp indicates the drive
mode-selector setting state. Refer to “2WD/4WD operation indication lamp and low-range indication lamp” on page 6-38.

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.

ized Service Point or commercial tow truck service, tow your vehicle carefully in accord-
ance with the instructions given in “Emer- gency towing” in this part.The regulations concerning towing may dif-
fer from country to country. It is recommen- ded that you obey the regulations of the area
where you are driving your vehicle.Towing the vehicle by a tow
truckCAUTIONl This vehicle must not be towed by a tow
truck using sling lift type equipment (Type A) as illustrated. Using a sling lift will dam-age the bumper and front end.
l On 4WD vehicles, be sure to set the drive
mode-selector to “2H” position and transportthe vehicle with the driving wheels on a car-
riage (Type D or E) as illustrated. Never try
to tow with the drive mode-selector in “4H” or “4L” positions (Easy Select 4WD), “4H”, “4HLc” or “4LLc” positions (Super Select4WD II) and with the front or rear wheels on
the ground (Type B or C) as illustrated. This could result in driving system damage or the
vehicle may jump at the carriage. If you can- not set the drive mode-selector to “2H” posi- tion or the transmission is malfunctioning ordamaged, transport the vehicle with the allwheels on a carriage (Type D or E) as illus-
trated.
l As your vehicle is equipped with the Active
Stability & Traction Control system (ASTC), if the vehicle is towed with the ig-
nition switch in the “ON” position or the op- eration mode in ON and only the front
wheels or only the rear wheels raised off the
ground, the active Traction Control System may operate, resulting in an accident.
Towing
8-24OKTE18E1For emergencies8

CAUTIONlOn 2WD vehicles, if the transmission is mal-
functioning or damaged, transport the vehi- cle with the driving wheels on a carriage (Type C, D or E) as illustrated.
l If you tow a vehicle with automatic trans-
mission with the driving wheels on the
ground (Type B) as illustrated, make sure
that the towing speed and distance given be- low are never exceeded, causing damage to the transmission.

Towing speed: 30 km/h (19 mph)
Towing distance: 80 km (50 miles)

For the towing speed and the towing dis- tance, follow the local driving laws and reg-
ulations.
l On vehicles with manual transmission, do
not tow the vehicle with the rear wheels on
the ground (Type B) as illustrated.

the ground (Type B)
On vehicles with automatic transmission, place the selector lever in the “N” (NEU-
TRAL) position.
Release the parking brake.
CAUTIONl Never tow an automatic transmission vehicle
with the front wheels up (and the rear wheels
on the ground) (Type B) when the automatic transmission fluid level is low. This may
cause serious and expensive damage to the
transmission.
Towing with rear wheels off the
ground (Type C)
Place the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral)
position (manual transmission) or the selector
lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position (auto- matic transmission). Turn the ignition switch
to the “ACC” position or put the operation mode in ACC and secure the steering wheel
in a straight-ahead position with a rope or tie- down strap. Never place the ignition switch
in the “LOCK” position or put the operation
mode in OFF when towing.
Emergency towing
If towing service is not available in an emer- gency, your vehicle may be temporarily tow-ed by a rope secured to the towing hook.
If your vehicle is to be towed by another ve-
hicle or if your vehicle tows another vehicle, pay careful attention to the following points.
If your vehicle is to be towed by
another vehicle
1. The front towing hooks are located as
shown in the illustration. Secure the tow
rope to the front towing hook.
NOTEl Using any part other than the designated
towing hooks could result in damage to the
vehicle body.
l Using a wire rope or metal chain can result
in damage to the vehicle body. It is best to
use a non-metallic rope. If you use a wire rope or metal chain, wrap it with cloth at any
point where it touches the vehicle body.
l Take care that the tow rope is kept as hori-
zontal as possible. An angled tow rope can damage the vehicle body.
Towing
8-25OKTE18E1For emergencies8

NOTElSecure the tow rope to the same side towing
hook, to keep the tow rope as straight as pos-
sible.

tact is maintained between the drivers of
both vehicles, and that the vehicles trav- el at low speed.
WARNINGl Avoid sudden braking, acceleration and
steering wheel movements; such drivingoperation could cause damage to the tow-
ing hook or tow rope.
People in the vicinity could be injured as a
result.
l When going down a long slope, the brakes
may overheat, reducing effectiveness.
Have your vehicle transported by a tow truck.CAUTIONl The person in the vehicle being towed must
pay attention to the brake lamps of the tow- ing vehicle and make sure the rope never be-
comes slack.
