coolant level MITSUBISHI L200 2017 Owner's Manual (in English)

NOTElNormally, use the outside position to keep
the windscreen and side windows clear and
quickly remove fog or frost from the wind- screen.
If high cooling performance is desired, or if
the outside air is dusty or otherwise contami- nated use the recirculation position. Switch
to the outside position periodically to in- crease ventilation so that the windows do notbecome fogged up.
l When the engine coolant temperature rises
to a certain level, the air selection is auto- matically switched to the recirculation posi-
tion and the indication lamp (A) comes on. At this time, the system will not switch tothe outside position even if the air selection
switch is pressed.Customizing the air selection

Functions can be changed as desired, as sta-
ted below.
l Enable automatic air control
When the AUTO switch is pressed, the
air selection switch is also controlled au- tomatically.

l Disable automatic air control
Even when the AUTO switch is pressed, the air selection switch is not controlled
automatically.

l Setting change method
Hold down the air selection switch for approximately 10 seconds or more. • When the setting is changed from ena-
ble to disable
3 sounds are emitted and the indica- tion lamp flashes 3 times.
• When the setting is changed from dis-
able to enable
2 sounds are emitted and the indica- tion lamp flashes 3 times.NOTEl The factory setting is “Enable automatic air
control.”
l When the demister switch is pressed, in or-
der to prevent misting of the windows the
ventilator automatically switches to outside air even if “Disable automatic air control” is set.AUTO switch
E00702601135
When the AUTO switch is pressed, the indi-
cation lamp (A) comes on and the mode se- lection, blower speed adjustment, recircula-
ted/outside air selection, temperature adjust- ment, and air conditioner ON/OFF status are all controlled automatically.

4.Check the coolant level in the reserve
tank (B).
5. Add coolant to the radiator and/or re-
serve tank if necessary (refer to the
“Maintenance” section).
WARNINGl Make sure that the engine has cooled
down before removing the radiator cap (C), because hot steam or boiling water
otherwise will gush from the filler port and may scald you.CAUTIONl Do not add coolant while the engine is hot.
Suddenly adding cold coolant could damage the engine. Wait for the engine to cool
down, then add coolant a little at a time.6. Examine the radiator hoses for coolant
leakage and the drive belt for looseness
or damage.
If there is anything wrong with the cool-
ing system or drive belt, we recommend
you to have it checked and repaired.Bleeding the fuel system
E00800701423
The fuel system should be bled to remove air
as described below if the fuel supply is ex- hausted during travel.
Pump the hand pump (A) at the top of the fuel filter until the hand pump becomes stiff.Then try again to start the engine.
If the engine does not start, repeat the process
above.
CAUTIONl Do not smoke or have any other open flame
near the vehicle while bleeding the fuel sys-
tem.
l Be sure to carefully clean away any spilt fuel
which could ignite and cause a fire.Removal of water from the
fuel filter E00800801525
If the fuel filter indication lamp in the instru-ment panel illuminates during driving, it indi-
cates that water has accumulated in the fuel filter. If this occurs, remove the water as de-
scribed below. 1. Loosen the drain plug (A) of the fuel fil-
ter.

The exhaust gas scavenging devices usedwith the catalytic converter are extremely ef- ficient for the reduction of noxious gases.
The catalytic converter is installed in the ex- haust system.
It is important to keep the engine properly
tuned to ensure proper catalyst operation and prevent possible catalyst damage.WARNINGl As with any vehicle, do not park or oper-
ate this vehicle in areas where combusti- ble materials such as dry grass or leaves
can come in contact with a hot exhaust
since a fire could occur.NOTEl Use fuel of the type recommended in
“Fuel
selection” on page 2-02.

NOTE•On vehicles with DPF, the engine oil will
increase due to a little fuel getting mixed
in the engine oil when the DPF regener- ates to burn away the PM (particulate
matter). However, it does not indicate a
malfunction.
• The engine oil level will be increased due
to an amount of the fuel being mixed in
the engine oil when the DPF regenerates
to burn away the PM (particulate matter). It does not indicate a malfunction.
In the following conditions, the engine oil level may increase easily. We recommendyou to have it checked frequently.
•frequent driving at uphill and down-
hill
• frequent driving at high altitudes
• frequent and extended idling
• frequent driving through a traffic
jam
l The engine oil will deteriorate rapidly if the
vehicle is subjected to severe conditions, re- quiring earlier oil replacement. Please refer
to the maintenance schedule.
l For handling of used engine oils, refer to
page 2-06.Selection of engine oil
l Select engine oil of the proper SAE vis-
cosity number according to the atmos-pheric temperature.
l Use engine oil conforming to the follow-
ing classification: • ACEA classification: “For service C1, C2, C3 or C4”
• JASO classification: “For service DL-1”
If those classifications are not available, con- tact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.
NOTEl Use of additives is not recommended since
they may reduce the effectiveness of addi-
tives already included in the engine oil. It may result in failure of the mechanical as-
sembly.Engine coolant
E01000503509
To check the coolant level
A transparent coolant reserve tank (A) is lo-cated in the engine compartment.
Engine coolant
10-06OKTE17E1Maintenance10

The coolant level in this tank should be keptbetween the “L” (LOW) and “F” (FULL)
marks when measured while the engine is cold.
To add coolant
The cooling system is a closed system and normally the loss of coolant should be very
slight. A noticeable drop in the coolant level
could indicate leakage. If this occurs, we rec- ommend you to have the system checked as
soon as possible.
If the level should drop below the “L”
(LOW) level on the reserve tank, open the lid
and add coolant.
Also, if the reserve tank is completely empty, remove the radiator cap (B) and add coolant until the level reaches the filler neck.WARNINGl Do not open the radiator cap (B) while the
engine is hot. The coolant system is under
pressure and any hot coolant escaping
could cause severe burns.
Anti-freeze
The engine coolant contains an ethylene gly-
col anti-corrosion agent. Some parts of the engine are cast aluminium alloy, and periodic
changing of the engine coolant is necessary to prevent corrosion of these parts.

Use “ MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE
SUPER LONG LIFE COOLANT PREMI- UM” or equivalent*.
*: similar high quality ethylene glycol based
non-silicate, non-amine, nonnitrate and non- borate coolant with long life hybrid organic
acid technology

MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE Coolant
has excellent protection against corrosion and
rust formation of all metals including alumi- nium and can avoid blockages in the radiator,
heater, cylinder head, engine block, etc.
Because of the necessity of this anti-corro-
sion agent, the coolant must not be replaced with plain water even in summer. The re-
quired concentration of anti-freeze differs de- pending on the expected ambient tempera-
ture.
Above -35 °C: 50 % concentration of anti-
freeze
Below -35 °C: 60 % concentration of anti- freezeCAUTIONl Do not use alcohol or methanol anti-freeze
or any engine coolants mixed with alcoholor methanol anti-freeze. The use of an im-
proper anti-freeze can cause corrosion of the aluminium components.
l Do not use water to adjust the concentration
of coolant.
l Concentrations exceeding 60 % will result in
a reduction of both the anti-freeze and cool-
ing performance thus adversely affecting the
engine.
l Do not top up with water only.

During cold weather
If the temperatures in your area drop belowfreezing, there is the danger that the coolant
in the engine or radiator could freeze and
cause severe damage to the engine and/or ra- diator. Add a sufficient amount of anti-freeze to the coolant to prevent it from freezing.The concentration should be checked before the start of cold weather and anti-freeze add-
ed to the system if necessary.
Washer fluid
E01000702113
Open the washer fluid reservoir cap andcheck the level of washer fluid with the dip- stick.
If the level is low, replenish the container with washer fluid.
NOTEl The washer fluid container serves the wind-
screen and headlamps (if so equipped).
During cold weather
To ensure proper operation of the washers at
low temperatures, use a fluid containing ananti-freezing agent.
Brake fluid
E01000902014
To check the fluid level
Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir.
The brake fluid level must be between the “MAX” and “MIN” marks on the reservoir.
The brake fluid level is monitored by a float.
When the brake fluid level falls below the “MIN” mark, the brake fluid warning lamp
lights up.
The fluid level falls slightly with wear of the brake pads, but this does not indicate any ab-
normality.
If the brake fluid level falls markedly in a short length of time, it indicates leaks from
the brake system.
If this occurs, we recommend you to have the vehicle checked.
Fluid type
Use brake fluid conforming to DOT3 or
DOT4. The brake fluid is hygroscopic. Too
much moisture in the brake fluid will ad- versely affect the brake system, reducing the brake performance.
In addition, the brake fluid reservoir is equip-
ped with a special cap to prevent the entrance
of air, and this cap should not be removed.
CAUTIONl Take care in handling brake fluid as it is
harmful to the eyes, may irritate your skin
and also damage painted surfaces.
