Recommendation to drivers

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 Z00011 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 New vehicle inspection

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 run-in of various parts. When the distance has been reached, have your vehicle inspected by an authorized dealer by showing them this Owner’s Manual.

NOTE:

The cost of oil, Lubricants, parts and any work that

Z13615 is not included in the new vehicle inspection must be borne by the owner.

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. 12-8

Periodic inspection

 

 

 

 

 

 

In addition to maximizing the vehicle’s working

 

 

 

 

life, regular inspections also help prevent acci-

 

 

 

 

dents.

 

 

 

 

Periodic inspection is based on either the dis-

 

 

 

 

tance 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

 

Z01367

 

 

 

 

 

 

carefully.

Fuels

Use only diesel fuel, without any additives, for diesel engines installed in Mitsubishi Fuso trucks.

1 Diesel-fuel properties

The following recommendations concerning diesel Z01368 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 Low Sulfur

–12°C (10°F)

Grade 2-D*

 

 

Operation at tempera-

ASTM D-975

tures below –12°C

Grade Low Sulfur

(10°F), or long-hour no-

Grade 1-D*

load operation.

 

 

 

NOTE:

* ASTM is an acronym for the American Society for Testing and Materials which recommends fuel containing 0.05% or less sulfur content.

Note that a sulfur content exceeding 0.05% deteriorates the performance of emission control device.

To meet fuel requirements exactly, it is necessary to obtain cooperation from a reputable fuel oil supplier. Both fuel suppliers and users are responsible for keeping fuel clean.

2 Danger of fire and explosion by using mixed fuel

Do not use diesel fuel mixed with gasoline, gasohol and/or alcohol. 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 MISTAKENLY FILL THE FUEL TANK WITH A MIXED FUEL, DRAIN OUT ALL THE FUEL FROM THE FUEL SYSTEM.

Recommendation to drivers

3 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.

4 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.

CAUTION

When refueling the vehicle, take care to prevent dirt and water from entering the 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.

Fuel tank capacity

200 liters (52.8 gallons)

 

 

WARNING

If you inadvertently put gasoline in the fuel Z11794 tank, pump it all out. Running the engine with gasoline in the tank could cause a fire or explosion endangering your or other peo-

ple’s lives.

NOTE:

If you run out of fuel, refuel the tank. After refueling an empty tank, be sure to air bleed the fuel system.

Otherwise, the engine will not start.

Handling of the new vehicle

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 “new vehicle inspection” 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.

During the initial run-in period, oil is quickly contaminated. Replace the following oils at the time of the “new vehicle inspection”.

At 4‚000 km (2‚500 miles)

Power steering fluid

Power steering fluid filter element

Engine oil

Manual transmission gear oil

Axle housing gear oil

2Maximum engine speed during run-in period

To avoid overburdening the new engine, limit engine RPM to those listed below for the first 1‚000 km (600 miles).

Then, run in your vehicle step by step at various speeds, beginning with low gears.

Maximum engine speed

2‚000 rpm

during run-in period

 

 

 

Reporting safety defects

If you believe that your vehicle has a defect that could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should immediately inform both the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Mitsubishi Fuso Truck of America, Inc. (MFTA).

If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your dealer, or MFTA.

To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-800-424-9393 (or 1-202- 366-0123 in Washington, D.C. area) or write to: NHTSA, U.S. Department of Transportation, Washington, D.C. 20590.

You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from the Auto Safety Hotline.

Opening and closing

Starter key

Your vehicle is provided with two identical starter keys.

The starter key can be used to start and stop the engine and lock and unlock the doors.

Make a note of your starter key number so

Z11687 that you can order a replacement key from an authorized dealer in the event that it is lost.

Doors

WARNING

To help prevent accidents, always check for vehicles and pedestrians approaching from behind before opening the doors.

Driving with a door ajar can be very dangerous. Make sure the doors are completely closed before starting.

Exercise caution when opening a door in strong wind. Otherwise, the wind could catch the door and suddenly blow it open.

Exercise caution when opening a door on a downward slope. Otherwise, the inclination of the vehicle could cause the door to suddenly fall open.

When leaving the vehicle, take with you any child who was riding in the cab. Never leave a child in the cab. A child left in the cab could interfere with the vehicle, causing it to move or catch fire. Also, the cab gets extremely hot in sunshine and in hot weather so a child left in the cab could suffer heatstroke.
