suspension MITSUBISHI L200 2014 Owner's Manual (in English)

NOTEl The high-beams can also flash when the
lamp switch is in the “OFF” position.
l If you turn the lamps off with the headlamps
set to high-beam illumination, the headlamps
are automatically returned to their low-beam
setting when the lamp switch is next turned
to the “
” position.
Headlamp levelling switch* E00506400826
The angle of the headlamp beam varies depending
on the load carried by the vehicle.
The headlamp levelling switch can be used to ad-
just the headlamp illumination distance (when the
lower beam is illuminated) so that the headlamps’
glare does not distract other drivers.
Set the switch (referring to the following table) to
the appropriate position according to the number of
people and the load in the vehicle.CAUTIONl Always perform adjustments before driv-
ing.
Do not attempt to adjust while driving, as
it could cause an accident.
NOTE
l When adjusting the beam position, first put
the dial in the “0” position (the highest beam
position).

Turn-signals lever E00506501273
The turn-signal lamps flash when the lever is oper-
ated (with the ignition switch in the “ON” posi-
tion). At the same time, the turn-signal indication
lamps flash.
1- Turn-signals When making a normal turn, use position
(1). The lever will return automatically when
cornering is completed.
There are times when the lever will not re-
turn after cornering. This occurs when the
steering wheel is turned only slightly.
In such cases, return the lever by hand.
2- Lane-change signals When changing lanes, use position (2). It
will return to the neutral position when re-
leased.
NOTE l If the lamp flashes unusually quickly, the
bulb in a turn-signal lamp may have burned
out. We recommend you to have the vehicle
inspected.

NOTE
l The values under item 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 are ap-
plicable to unladen vehicles. These values
can also be varied depending on the tyre size,
optional equipment and suspension condi-
tions.Operating hints
l Do not let the clutch slip (vehicles with a M/
a only) and do not increase the engine speed
more than necessary when starting.
l Be sure that the driving speed does not ex-
ceed the maximum speed for trailer operation.
l To prevent shocks from the overrun brake, de-
press the brake pedal lightly at first and then
more strongly.l To make full use of engine braking, change
to a lower gear before descending 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 consumption.
