2020 MITSUBISHI L200 Owner's Manual (in English)

Loading a roof carrierCAUT,ONzUse a roof carrier that properly fits your ve-
hicle. Do not load luggage directly onto the
roof.
For installation, refer to the instruction man-
ual accompanying the roof carrier.NOTEz We recommend you to use a
MITSUBISHI
MOTORS GENUINE roof carrier, since the
brackets to be used have a special shape. For
details, we recommend you to consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.
Roof carrier precaution
CAUT,ONz Make sure that the weight of the luggage
does not exceed the allowable roof load.
If the allowable roof load is exceeded, this may cause damage to the vehicle.
The roof load is the total allowable load on
the roof (the weight of the roof carrier plus
the weight of luggage placed on the roof car- rier).
For the specific value, refer to “Maximum
roof load” on page 11-08CAUT,ONz When luggage is loaded onto the vehicle,
please make sure to drive slowly and avoid
excessive manoeuvres such as sudden brak- ing or quick turning.
In addition, place the luggage on the carrier
so that its weight is distributed evenly with the heaviest items on the bottom. Do not load items that are wider than the roof carri-
er.
The additional weight on the roof could raise
the vehicle’s centre of gravity and affect ve- hicle handling characteristics.
As a result, driving errors or emergency ma-
noeuvres could lead to a loss of control and result in an accident.
z Before driving and after travelling a short
distance, always check the load to make sure it is securely fastened to the roof carrier.
Check periodically during your travel that
the load remains secure.NOTEz To prevent wind noise or reduction in fuel
economy, remove the roof carrier when not
in use.
z Remove the roof carrier before using an au-
tomatic car wash.Trailer towing
In order to tow a trailer with your vehicle,
when having a trailer towing device mounted that meets all relevant regulations in your
area, consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point.
Check that your towing bar coupling ball
does not obscure your vehicle’s licence plate when the trailer or caravan is disconnected. If
it 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.CAUT,ONz Danger of Accident!
A towing bar should be fitted according to MITSUBISHI MOTORS guidelines.

NOTEzIf 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 11-08.)
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.

Operating hints
zHave 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 10-13.)
Check the tyres, wiring and brakes (if
fitted) on the trailer.
z 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.
z 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 the driving
speed with a trailer is limited to less than 100 km/h (62 mph).
z 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.
z To prevent shocks from the overrun
brake, depress the brake pedal lightly at
first and then more strongly.
z To make full use of engine braking,
change to a lower gear before descend-
ing a slope.
z The body, brakes, clutch, and chassis
will be under additional strain when
towing a trailer.
z The heavier weight and higher rolling
and air resistance will increase fuel con-
sumption.
Additional precautions for vehi-
cles 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.

NOTEz On vehicles with air conditioning, the cool
air from the ventilators may appear as a mist.
This is due to moist air being suddenly
cooled by the air conditioning. This will clear after a few moments.
z Be careful not to spill beverages, etc., into
the ventilators.
Doing so might cause the air conditioning not to function normally.
