Maintenance
Checking your vehicle at regular intervals is very
important for maximizing performance and extending service life. It is recommended that you make a
habit of performing the following inspections.
This manual describes simple maintenance checks
and procedures that can be carried out by the
owner. If you have difficulty or your vehicle needs
maintenance work that is not shown in this manual,
please refer to an authorized dealer.
1 First maintenance at 4,000 km (2,500
miles)
After you have driven the first 4,000 km (2,500
miles), your vehicle requires a special inspection
and adjustments to compensate for the initial settlement of various parts. When the distance has been
reached, have your vehicle inspected by an authorized dealer by showing them this Owner’s Manual.
2 Pre-operational check
Make a habit of checking your vehicle at the start of
every day’s operation. This will ensure safe and
comfortable operation. P. 12-11
Z01367
3 Periodic inspection
In addition to maximizing the vehicle’s working life,
regular inspections also help prevent accidents.
Periodic inspection is based on either the distance
traveled (odometer reading) or period of use
(months/years).
The intervals between and content of periodic
inspections are as shown in the Maintenance
Schedule section. Please adhere to the maintenance schedule carefully.
1-5
Fuels
Use only diesel fuels conforming to the following
recommendations, without any additives, for diesel
engines installed in Mitsubishi Fuso trucks.
1 Diesel-fuel properties
The following recommendations concerning diesel
fuel used with Mitsubishi Fuso diesel engines are
given for optimum fuel economy and performance.
Use condition Recommendation
Normal operation at
temperatures above
–12°C (10°F).
Operation at temperatures below –12°C
(10°F), or long-hour noload operation.
Biodiesel fuel can be used if it has a 5% or lower
blend ratio and complies with ASTM D-6751.
NOTE:
* ASTM is an acronym for the American Society for
Testing and Materials which recommends fuel containing 0.0015% – basis 15 ppm sulfur or less sulfur
content.
Note that a sulfur content exceeding 0.0015% –
basis 15 ppm sulfur deteriorates the performance of
emission control device.
ASTM D-975
Grade Ultra Low Sulfur
Grade 2-D*
ASTM D-975
Grade Ultra Low Sulfur
Grade 1-D*
To meet fuel requirements, it is necessary to obtain
cooperation from a reputable fuel oil supplier. Both
fuel suppliers and users are responsible for keeping
fuel clean.
2 Diesel fuel to be used in your engine
Use only a ultra low sulfur diesel fuel (with a sulfur
content of 15 ppm or lower) for refueling your Mitsubishi Fuso diesel engine. Otherwise, the catalyst
inside the diesel particulate filter (DPF) will not work
effectively and the DPF’s performance of removing
small particles (particulate matter or PM) in exhaust
gases will be degraded. Furthermore, your truck will
not meet emission regulations if you replenish it
with a non-approved fuel.
1-6 Recommendation to drivers
3 Danger of fire and explosion by using
mixed fuel
Fuel containing 5% gasoline has a flash point as
low as 0°C (32°F), which can lead to a fire or explosion while the engine is running.
DANGER
NEVER MIX DIESEL FUEL WITH GASOLINE,
GASOHOL OR ALCOHOL.
USE OF FUEL MIXED WITH ONE OR MORE
OF THESE COULD LEAD TO A FIRE OR
EXPLOSION INVOLVING SERIOUS INJURY,
DEATH OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. IF YOU
ACCIDENTALLY USE GASOLINE OR ALCOHOL WHEN REFUELING THE VEHICLE,
REMOVE ALL OF IT FROM THE FUEL SYSTEM.
4 Adverse effects of mixed fuel on engine
Using diesel fuel mixed with gasoline, alcohol, or
both, has the following adverse effects on the
engine:
• Fuel viscosity becomes lower, resulting in
excessive wear, damage, and failure of fuel system parts.
• Difficulty in starting the engine will result due to
a reduced cetane number.
CAUTION
• The lower the cetane number, the more likely
internal engine damage will occur.
• Do not add antifreeze agents or other sub-
stances to the fuel. They could damage the
engine’s fuel injection system.
• If the fuel tank cap and breather (air hole)
become so dirty that the breather gets
blocked, the fuel tank may deform and the
fuel injection system may fail. Be sure to
clean them regularly.
1-7
5 Refueling
WARNING
• Stop the engine before fueling.
• Never smoke when fueling since diesel
fuel could ignite or explode.
Never operate lighters or other items that
emit sparks.
• If you inadvertently put gasoline in the fuel
tank, pump it all out. Running the engine
with gasoline in the tank could cause a fire
or explosion endangering your or other
people’s lives.
CAUTION
Be careful not to allow the engine to run out of
fuel. Engine stall resulting from an empty tank
could cause damage to the fuel injection system.
NOTE:
If the vehicle runs out of fuel, air will enter the fuel
system. Once air enters the system, you cannot
start the engine even after refueling. The air must
be bled out of the fuel system before the engine can
be started. To bleed the fuel system, hold the starter
switch in the “ON” position for 30 seconds and then
return it to the “ACC” position. Fuel will then flow
into the fuel system while forcing the air out. Now
you can start the engine. There may be some
instances where it takes 30 to 60 seconds to start
the engine.
1-8 Recommendation to drivers
Z23257
• 113-liter fuel tank
The fuel tank is at the rear of the vehicle. To open
the fuel tank cap, slowly turn it counterclockwise. To
close the cap, turn it clockwise until you hear a click.
Fuel tank capacity
113 liters (29.8 gallons)
• 125-liter fuel tank
The fuel tank is on the right-hand side of the vehicle. To open the cap, slowly turn it counterclockwise. To close the cap, turn it fully clockwise.
Fuel tank capacity
125 liters (33 gallons)
WARNING
• When filling the fuel tank using a gun-type
fuel pump, do not continue pumping after
the pump automatically stops. (The tank is
full at this point.) When filling the fuel tank
using any other method, stop as soon as
the surface of the fuel becomes visible
through the opening of the fuel filler. If you
supply so much fuel that it comes up to
the opening, fuel may leak though the
check valve when the vehicle starts
moving and when it stops moving. If fuel
leaks, carefully wipe it all up to prevent the
risk of fire.
• If the pointer of the fuel gauge is above the
“F” mark, do not add the fuel any more.
DEF (Diesel exhaust fluid)
DEF is injected into the exhaust gas inside the muffler in order to break down NOx (oxides of nitrogen)
in the exhaust gas into water and nitrogen, and thus
reduces the amount of NOx. P. 5-48
1-9
WARNING
DEF is a colorless, transparent, odorless and
harmless water solution (urea 32.5%, water
67.5%; Freezing temperature -11°C (12°F)), so
no problem will occur if you get it on your
skin. However, some persons with delicate
skin may in very rare cases get a rash, so
carry out the following procedure.
• If DEF gets on your skin, wash it off with
water. If there is any change in your skin or
it is painful, promptly see a doctor to
receive treatment.
• In the event that you accidentally ingest
DEF, drink one to two cupfuls of water or
milk, and promptly see a doctor to receive
treatment.
• If DEF gets into your eyes, immediately
wash your eyes with a copious amount of
water, then see a doctor to receive treatment.
1DEF used
Be sure to use DEF that conforms to ISO 22241.
ISO: International Organization for Standardization.
CAUTION
Do not carry out the following when using DEF
because this may cause damage to the
BlueTec
®
exhaust gas aftertreatment.
• Do not dilute the DEF.
• Do not mix the DEF with another reagent.
• Do not use DEF that does not conform to ISO
22241.
2Replenishing DEF
WARNING
Do not pour anything other than DEF into the
DEF tank. Particularly, never pour diesel fuel
or gasoline into the DEF tank, because this
may cause a fire or damage the BlueTec
exhaust gas aftertreatment.
If you accidentally fill the DEF tank with any
fluid other than DEF, immediately turn the
starter switch to the “LOCK” position, and
contact an authorized dealer to have the
incorrectly added fluid drained off and the
vehicle inspected.
®
1-10 Recommendation to drivers
Z20976
CAUTION
Do not rest your foot on the DEF tank or step on
it, because this may damage the tank and/or the
sensors on it.
NOTE:
• Replenish the DEF well before it is used up.
• It is recommended that you obtain portable DEF
for use in the event that the DEF tank becomes
empty.
• You can obtain DEF at any of the following
places:
• Authorized dealer
• Authorized Parts and Service Center (PSC)
• Old World Industries distributor
• Exxon Mobil service station

2. Wipe away dirt, mud, or other contamination in
the vicinity of the replenishment port.
3. Turn the cap counterclockwise and remove it.
4. While observing the level gauge , replenish
the DEF to the FULL line on the tank.
Z20977
CAUTION
• Do not use a steel container to hold DEF.
DEF reacts with steel and produces a corrosive material. If the tank is refilled with DEF
containing this corrosive material, the
BlueTec
damaged.
• Containers and appliances used to handle
DEF must not have been used for other purposes. Impurities that may remain in them
could adversely affect the quality of DEF and
prevent the engine from starting.
5. Install the cap securely by turning it clockwise.
NOTE:
If you spill the DEF during replenishment, wipe it
away with a cloth, or the like, and then wash the
area with water.
6. If the DEF tank becomes empty, a driving
restriction automatically engages, locking the
gear in first or reverse, so the vehicle can be
driven only slowly.

1-11
3 Method for canceling the driving restric-
tion that has engaged due to an empty
DEF tank
If the DEF tank becomes empty, a driving restriction
automatically engages, locking the gear in first or
reverse, so the vehicle can be driven only slowly.
In the event of a driving restriction, replenish the
DEF and then disengage the restriction as follows.
1. After refilling the tank with DEF, turn the starter
switch from “LOCK” to “ON”.
2. Wait until the following changes in state have
completed.
• The warning lamp and DEF level warn-
ing lamp go out.
• The DEF level indicator lamp stops flash-
ing.
• The buzzer stops sounding.
Do not turn the starter switch to the “ACC” or
“LOCK” position before all the above changes
have completed.
NOTE:
• It may take a while after placing the starter
switch to “ON” for the warning lamp to go out
and for the buzzer to stop sounding.
• If the DEF tank becomes empty in cold weather,
perform the driving restriction canceling procedure immediately after refilling the tank with
DEF.
4 Storing the DEF
Seal the DEF container, and store it indoors in a
well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight.
The temperature of the storage place should be
between –5°C (23°F) and 25°C (77°F).
WARNING
Do not store DEF in a high temperature location.
If the temperature is high, DEF may release
ammonia, which is toxic. When storing the
container, seal it. Also, open it outdoors in a
well-ventilated area. If a pungent odor is
emitted from the container, do not carelessly
go near it.
1-12 Recommendation to drivers
NOTE:
• You can use frozen DEF after allowing it to thaw,
without loss of quality.
• If you seal the container so as to prevent the
water from evaporating, the quality of the DEF
will not change.
• Although DEF is a non-flammable liquid, it may
emit a pungent odor if it is heated due to a fire,
for example. In the event that a fire breaks out,
promptly move the container to a safe place.
• It is strongly recommended to store or carry
DEF in the original container in which it was
sold. If unavoidable, you can also use a polypropylene tank usually used for drinking water or
the like instead, after thoroughly cleaning the
inside with DEF and making sure that it contains
absolutely no water or other impurities.
CAUTION
Do not store DEF in a non-specified container. If
DEF is stored in a steel container and then used
for replenishing, corrosive material produced
by chemical reactions will damage the BlueTec
exhaust gas aftertreatment.
®
• DEF must be handled as industrial waste when
discarding it.
CAUTION
Do not discard DEF in a lake or marsh, in the
sea, or in a river because this may cause environmental destruction.

Engine immobilizer
(theft prevention device)
1 Engine immobilizer
NOTE:
The immobilizer complies with part 15 of the FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) The immobilizer may not cause harmful inter-
ference.
(2) The immobilizer must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved
by the party responsible for compliance could void
the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
• The engine immobilizer is a theft prevention
device. It prevents the engine from being started
unless an engine immobilizer starter key that
has been registered to it is used.
• The engine immobilizer automatically starts
operating as soon as the starter switch is turned
to “ACC” or “LOCK”. Once the engine immobilizer is activated, it prevents the engine from
being started.
• The engine immobilizer starter key sends a sig-
nal to the vehicle, thereby canceling the engine
immobilizer such that the engine can be started.
NOTE:
