MITSUBISHI L200 2020 Owner's Manual (in English)

For vehicles equipped with the mirror re-tractor switch
Retracting and extending the mirrors using the mirror retrac-
tor switch
With the ignition switch or the operation
mode in ON or ACC, push the mirror retrac-
tor switch to retract the mirrors.
Push it again to extend the mirrors to their
original positions.
After turning the ignition switch to the
“LOCK” position or putting the operation
mode in OFF, it is possible to retract and ex-
tend the mirrors using the mirror retractor switch for about 30 seconds.
CAUT,ONz It is possible to retract and extend the mir-
rors by hand. After retracting a mirror using
the mirror retractor switch, however, you
should extend it by using the switch again, not by hand. If you extended the mirror by
hand after retracting it using the switch, it
would not properly lock in position. As a re- sult, the mirror could move because of thewind or vibration while you are driving, and
this may limit the driver’s rearward visibili- ty.NOTEz Be careful not to get your hands trapped
while a mirror is moving.
z If you move a mirror by hand or it moves af-
ter hitting a person or object, you may not be
able to return it to its original position using the mirror retractor switch. If this happens,
push the mirror retractor switch to place the mirror in its retracted position and then push
the switch again to return the mirror to its original position.
z When freezing has occurred and mirrors fail
to operate as intended, please refrain from repeated pushing of the retractor switch as
this action can result in burn-out of the mir-
ror motor circuits.Retracting and extending the
mirrors without using the mir- ror retractor switch
[Except for vehicles equipped with the key-
less entry key or the keyless operation key@
The mirrors automatically extend when the vehicle speed reaches 30 km/h (19 mph).
[Vehicles equipped with keyless entry key@
The mirrors automatically retract or extend when the doors are locked or unlocked using the key switches of the keyless entry system.
Refer to “Keyless entry system” on page 3-04.
[Vehicles equipped with the keyless operation
key@
The mirrors automatically retract or extend when the doors are locked or unlocked using
the key switches or the keyless operation function of the keyless operation system.Refer to “Keyless entry system” on page 3-04.
Refer to “Keyless operation system: To oper-
ate using the keyless operation function” on

The engine is stopped and the steering wheel
locked. The key can only be inserted and re- moved in this position.
ACC
The engine is stopped, but the audio system and other electric devices can be operated.
ON
All the vehicle’s electrical devices can be op- erated.
START
The starter motor operates. After the engine has started, release the key and it will auto- matically return to the “ON” position.
NOTEz If your vehicle is equipped with an electron-
ic immobilizer.
To start the engine, the ID code transmitted by the transponder inside the key must
match the code registered in the immobilizer
computer.
Refer to “Electronic immobilizer (Anti-theft starting system)” on page 3-03.To remove the key
For vehicles with M/T, when removing the
key, push the key in at the “ACC” position and keep it depressed until it is turned to the
“LOCK” position and remove it.
For vehicles with A/T, when removing the

“ACC” position and keep it depressed until it
is turned to the “LOCK” position, and re- move it.
CAUT,ONz Do not remove the ignition key from the ig-
nition switch while driving. The steeringwheel will be locked, causing loss of con-
trol.CAUT,ONz If the engine is stopped while driving, the
brake servomechanism will cease to function and braking efficiency will deteriorate. Also,
the power steering system will not function
and it will require greater manual effort to operate the steering.
z Do not leave the key in the “ON” position
for a long time when the engine is not run-
ning, doing so will cause the battery to be discharged.
z Do not turn the key to the “START” position
while the engine is running. Doing so could damage the starter motor.Engine switch*

Tips for starting
Except for vehicles equipped with the keyless operation sys- tem
z Do not operate the starter motor continu-
ously longer than 10 seconds; doing so
could run down the battery. If the engine
does not start, turn the ignition switch back to “LOCK”, wait a few seconds,
and then try again. Trying repeatedly
with the starter motor still turning will damage the starter mechanism.
:ARN,NGz Never run the engine in a closed or poorly
ventilated area any longer than is needed
to move your vehicle in or out of the area. Carbon monoxide gases are odourless and can be fatal.CAUT,ONz Never attempt to start the engine by pushing
or pulling the vehicle.
z Do not run the engine at high speeds or drive
the vehicle at high speeds until the engine
has had a chance to warm up.
z Release the ignition key as soon as the en-
gine starts to avoid damaging the starter mo-
tor.
z If your vehicle is equipped with a turbo-
charger, do not stop the engine immediately
after high-speed or uphill driving. First al-
low the engine to idle to give the turbocharg-
er a chance to cool down.
For vehicles equipped with the
keyless operation system
z The operation mode can be in any mode
to start the engine.

Fuel injection amount learning
process
To keep exhaust emissions and engine noise
low, the engine very occasionally performs a
learning process for the fuel injection amount.
The engine sounds slightly different from
usual while the learning process is taking
place. The change in the engine sound does not indicate a fault.
