2019 MITSUBISHI L200 Owner's Manual (in English)

CAUT,ONzWith the ignition switch or the operation
mode in ON and the lever in the “AUTO”
position, the wipers may automatically oper-
ate in the situations described below.
If your hands get trapped, you could suffer injuries or the wipers could malfunction. Be sure to turn the ignition switch to the
“LOCK” position or put the operation mode
in OFF, or move lever to the “OFF” position to deactivate the rain sensor.

Misting function
Move the lever in the direction of the arrowand release, to operate the wipers once.

Use this function when you are driving in
mist or drizzle.
The wipers will operate once if the lever is raised to the “MIST” position and released
when the ignition switch or the operation
mode is in the “ON” or “ACC” position. The wipers will continue to operate while the lev-
er is held in the “MIST” position.
The wipers will operate once if the lever ismoved to the “AUTO” position and the knob
(C) is turned in the “+” direction when the ig- nition switch is in the “ON” position or the operation mode is in ON.Windscreen washer
The washer fluid will be sprayed onto the
windscreen by pulling the lever towards you. The wipers operate automatically several
times while the washer fluid is being sprayed. On vehicles equipped with a headlamp wash-
er, while the headlamps are on, the headlamp washer will operate once together with the
windscreen washer.
CAUT,ONz If the washer is used in cold weather, the
washer fluid sprayed against the glass may
freeze resulting in poor visibility. Heat the glass with the defroster or demister before
using the washer.

Headlamp washer switch*
The headlamp washer can be operated withthe ignition switch or the operation mode in ON or ACC and the lamp switch at the “
”
position.

Push the button once and the washer fluid will be sprayed on to the headlamps.
NOTEz If the ignition switch or the operation mode
is in ON or ACC and the headlamps are on,the headlamp washer operates together with the windscreen washer the first time thewindscreen washer lever is pulled.Precautions to observe when
using wipers and washers
z If the moving wipers become blocked
partway through a sweep by ice or other deposits on the glass, the wipers may
temporarily stop operating to prevent the
motor from overheating. In this case,
park the vehicle in a safe place, turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” position
or put the operation mode in OFF, and then remove the ice or other deposits.
The wipers will start operating again af- ter the wiper motor cools down, so
check that the wipers operate before us-
ing them.
z Do not use the wipers when the glass is
dry.
They may scratch the glass surface and the blades wear out prematurely.
z Before using the wipers in cold weather,
check that the wiper blades are not fro- zen onto the glass. The motor may burn
out if the wipers are used with the blades
frozen onto the glass.
z Avoid using the washer continuously for
more than 20 seconds. Do not operate the washer when the fluid reservoir is
empty.
Otherwise, the motor may burn out.
z Periodically check the level of washer
fluid in the reservoir and refill if re-quired.
During cold weather, add a recommen-
ded washer solution that will not freeze
in the washer reservoir. Failure to do so could result in loss of washer function
and frost damage to the system compo- nents.Rear window demister
switch
The rear window demister switch can be op- erated when the engine is running.
Push the switch to turn on the rear window
demister. It will be turned off automatically in about 20 minutes. To turn off the demister
within about 20 minutes, push the switch again.

The indication lamp (A) will illuminate whilethe demister is on.NOTEz On vehicles equipped with heated mirrors,
when the rear window demister switch is
pressed, the outside rear-view mirrors are defogged or defrosted. Refer to “Heated mir-
ror*” on page 6-12.NOTEz The demister switch is not to melt snow but
to clear mist. Remove snow before use of
the demister switch.
z To avoid unnecessary discharge of the bat-
tery, do not use the rear window demister
during starting of the engine or when the en-
gine is not running. Turn the demister off
immediately after the window is clear.
z When cleaning the inside of the rear win-
dow, use a soft cloth and wipe gently along
the heater wires, being careful not to damage the wires.
z Do not allow objects to touch the inside of
the rear window glass, damaged or broken wires may result.

Economical driving
For economical driving, there are some tech-
nical requirements that have to be met. The prerequisite for low fuel consumption is a properly adjusted engine. In order to achievelonger life of the vehicle and the most eco-
nomical operation, we recommend you to have the vehicle checked at regular intervals in accordance with the service standards.
Fuel economy and generation of exhaust gas
and noise are highly influenced by personal driving habits as well as the particular operat-
ing conditions. The following points should be observed in order to minimize wear of
brakes, tyres and engine as well as to reduce environmental pollution.
Accelerating and decelerating
Drive according to the traffic conditions and avoid sudden starts, sudden acceleration and
sudden braking, as they will increase fuel consumption.
Shifting
Shift only at an appropriate speed and engine speed. Always use the highest shift position
possible.
The transfer shift lever or the drive mode-se-
lector should be set to “2H” when driving 4WD vehicles on normal roads and express
ways to obtain best possible fuel economy.
City traffic
Frequent starting and stopping increases the average fuel consumption. Use roads withsmooth traffic flow whenever possible. When
driving on congested roads, avoid use of a
low shift position at high engine speeds.
Idling
The vehicle consumes fuel even during
idling. Avoid extended idling whenever pos-
sible.
Speed
At higher vehicle speed, more fuel is con-
sumed. Avoid driving at full speed. Even a
slight release of the accelerator pedal will save a significant amount of fuel.
Tyre inflation pressure
Check the tyre inflation pressures at regularintervals. Low tyre inflation pressure increa-ses road resistance and fuel consumption. In addition, low tyre pressures adversely affect
tyre wear and driving stability.
Cargo loads
Do not drive with unnecessary articles in the
luggage compartment. Especially during city
driving where frequent starting and stopping is necessary, the increased weight of the vehi-
cle will greatly affect fuel consumption. Also
avoid driving with unnecessary luggage or carriers, etc., on the roof; the increased air re- sistance will increase fuel consumption.
Cold engine starting
Starting of a cold engine consumes more fuel. Unnecessary fuel consumption is alsocaused by keeping a hot engine running. Af-
ter the engine is started, commence driving as soon as possible.
Cooler or air conditioning
The use of the air conditioner will increase
the fuel consumption.
Driving, alcohol and drugs
Driving after drinking alcohol is one of the
most frequent causes of accidents.
