Recommendation to drivers |
4,000 km
(2,500 miles)
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.
1First 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.
Z21323
Z01367 |
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. 12-12 |
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
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 |
ASTM D-975 |
|
temperatures above |
Grade Ultra Low Sulfur |
|
–12°C (10°F). |
Grade 2-D* |
|
|
|
|
Operation at tempera- |
ASTM D-975 |
|
tures below –12°C |
||
Grade Ultra Low Sulfur |
||
(10°F), or long-hour no- |
||
load operation. |
Grade 1-D* |
|
|
||
|
|
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.
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 |
3Danger 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 ALCO-
HOL WHEN REFUELING THE VEHICLE,
REMOVE ALL OF IT FROM THE FUEL SYS-
TEM.
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 substances 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. Simply refueling the vehicle will not make the engine startable ; the air must be bled out of the
fuel system. |

Recommendation to drivers |
|
|
|
|
|
• 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 |
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
• 125-liter fuel tank |
|
|
|
|
The fuel tank is on the left-hand side of the vehicle. |
||
|
|
To open the cap, slowly turn it counterclockwise. To |
||
|
|
close the cap, turn it fully clockwise. |

WARNING |
|
|
Z23257 |
• 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 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. 5-49 |
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.
1 DEF 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.
2 Replenishing 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
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

|
|
|
|
sive material. If the tank is refilled with DEF |
|

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
3Method for canceling the driving restriction 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 warning lamp go out.
• The DEF level indicator lamp stops flashing.
• The buzzer stops sounding.
Do not turn the starter switch to the “ACC” or Z22085 “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.

The way the vehicle is handled when new greatly affects its subsequent performance and service life. Observe the following precautions when handling the new vehicle.
1 Maintenance
The “first maintenance at 4,000 km (2,500 miles)” is very important for extending the service life of your vehicle. We strongly recommend that you have this inspection carried out by an authorized dealer. Be sure to give the dealer this manual at that time.
2Maximum engine speed during run-in period
To avoid overburdening a new engine, limit engine RPM to that indicated below for the first 1,000 km (600 miles).
Then, run in your vehicle step by step at various speeds, beginning with low gears.
