engine MITSUBISHI L200 2015 (in English) Workshop Manual

NOTElIf the cruise control is on when the ignition
switch is turned to the “LOCK” or “ACC” position, cruise control will be on automati- cally the next time you start the engine.
The “CRUISE” indication lamp will also be
on.
l If the battery voltage is insufficient, the
memory data for the cruise control may be erased.
As a result, the “CRUISE” indication lamp may not come on when you restart the en-
gine.
If this happens, press the “ON OFF” switch once again to turn on the cruise control.
2. Accelerate or decelerate to your desired
speed, then press and release the “COAST SET” switch (B) when the
“CRUISE” indication lamp is illumina- ted. The vehicle will then maintain the
desired speed.
NOTEl When you release the “COAST SET”
switch, the vehicle speed will be set.To increase the set speed
E00609400570
There are 2 ways to increase the set speed.
“ACC RES” switch
Press and hold the “ACC RES” switch (C)while driving at the set speed, and your speed
will then gradually increase.
When you reach your desired speed, release
the switch. Your new cruising speed is now set.
To increase your speed in small amounts,
press the “ACC RES” switch for less than about 1 second and release it. Each time youpress the “ACC RES” switch, your vehicle
will go about 1.6 km/h (1 mph) faster.
Accelerator pedal
While driving at the set speed, use the accel-
erator pedal to reach your desired speed and
then press the “COAST SET” switch (B) and release the switch momentarily to set a new
desired cruising speed.
To decrease the set speed
E00609500500
There are 2 ways to decrease the set speed.
“COAST SET” switch
Press and hold the “COAST SET” switch (B)
while driving at the set speed, and your speed will slow down gradually.

Refer to “To resume the set speed” on page
6-54.To deactivate
E00609701088
The set speed driving can be deactivated as follows:
l Press the “ON OFF” switch (A). (Cruise
control will be turned off.)
l Press the “CANCEL” switch (D).
l Depress the brake pedal.
The set speed driving is deactivated automat-
ically in any of the following ways.
l When you depress the clutch pedal (on
vehicles with M/T).
l When your speed slows to about
15 km/h (9 mph) or more below the set
speed because of a hill, etc.
l When your speed slows to about
40 km/h (25 mph) or less.
l When the active stability & traction con-
trol (ASTC) starts operating. (if so
equipped)
Refer to “Active Stability & Traction
Control (ASTC)” on page 6-48.WARNINGl On vehicles with
A/T, although, the set
speed driving will be deactivated when
shifting to the “N” (NEUTRAL) position, never move the selector lever to the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position while driving.
You would have no engine braking and
could cause a serious accident.
Also, the set speed driving may be deactiva-
ted as follows:
l When the engine speed rises and ap-
proaches the tachometer's red zone (the red-coloured part of the tachometer di- al).
CAUTIONl When the set speed driving is deactivated
automatically in any situation other thanthose listed above, there may be a system
malfunction.
Press the “ON-OFF” switch to turn off the cruise control and have it inspected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.To resume the set speed
E00609800561
If the set speed driving is deactivated by the
condition described in “To deactivate” on
page 6-54, you can resume the previously set
speed by pressing the “ACC RES” switch (C)
while driving at a speed of about 40 km/h (25 mph) or higher.
Under either of the following conditions,however, using the switch does not allow you

to resume the previously set speed. In thesesituations, repeat the speed setting procedure:
l The “ON OFF” switch is pressed.
l The ignition switch is turned OFF.
l “CRUISE” indication lamp is turned
OFF.Cargo loads
E00609901123
Cargo loads precautions
CAUTIONlWhen loading luggage, be careful to the fol-
lowing.
• Stow cargo and luggage in the cargo area
whenever possible.
• Distribute cargo or luggage evenly not to
be unbalanced in weight.
• Do not place cargo or luggage on the in-
strument panel.
Also, do not stack up cargo or luggage on the front passenger’s seat or the rear seat.
Having the driver’s vision blocked, and
your cargo being thrown inside the cabin if you suddenly have to brake can cause a
serious accident or injury.Trailer towing
E00610001674
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.
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
See the following table for fixing points (A) for the towing bar.

plicable to unladen vehicles. These values
can also be varied depending on the tyre size, optional equipment and suspension
conditions.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 start-
ing.Trailer towing
6-57OKTE15E3Starting and driving6

lBe sure that the driving speed does not
exceed the maximum speed for trailer
operation.
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 an automatic
transmission
The 2 nd
gear (in “Sports mode”) is recom-
mended on slopes or at low speed. Use the 1 st
gear (in “Sports mode”) in mountainous areas
in order to make better use of engine braking and to assist the brake system. However, be
sure that the speed does not exceed the maxi- mum speed limit for the selected gear.

NOTElTo listen to the audio system while the engine is stopped, turn the ignition key to the “ACC” position.
l If a cellular phone is used inside the vehicle, it may create noise from the audio equipment. This does not mean that anything is wrong with your audio
equipment. In such a case, use the cellular phone at a place as far away as possible from the audio equipment.
l If foreign objects or water get into the audio equipment, or if smoke or a strange odour comes from it, immediately turn off the audio system. We recom-
mend you to have it checked. Never try to repair it by yourself. Avoid continuous usage without inspection by a qualified person.
l The audio system’s control knob can be removed to deter thieves. For details, refer to “Audio system anti-theft feature (audio system type 1)” on page 7-49.
l The audio amplifier (if so equipped) is located under the front right seat.
Do not subject the amplifier to a strong impact.
It could damage the amplifier or malfunctioning could result.
