For Cold And Snowy Weather; Fusible Links; Fuses - Mitsubishi MOTORS L200 Owner's Manual

For cold and snowy weather

WARNING
l
If you see a suspicious fuel leak or if you
smell fuel, do not operate the vehicle; we
recommend you to call for assistance.
Exterior and interior lamp op-
eration
Operate the combination lamp switch to
check that all lamps are functioning properly.
If the lamps do not illuminate, the probable
cause is a blown fuse or defective lamp bulb.
Check the fuses first. If there is no blown
fuses, check the lamp bulbs.
For information regarding the inspection and
replacement of the fuses and the lamp bulbs,
10
refer to "Fuses" on page 10-20 and "Re-
placement of lamp bulbs" on page 10-25.
If the fuses and bulbs are all OK, we recom-
mend you to have your vehicle checked and
repaired.
Meter, gauge and indicator/
warning lamps operation
Run the engine to check the operation of all
meters, gauges, and indicator/warning lamps.
If there is anything wrong, we recommend
you to have your vehicle inspected.
10-20 Maintenance
Hinges and latches lubrication
Check all latches and hinges, and lubricate if
necessary by first cleaning and then applying
multipurpose grease.
For cold and snowy weather
Ventilation slots
The ventilation slots in front of the wind-
screen should be kept clear of leaves or
brushed clear after heavy snowfall, so that
the operation of the heating and ventilation
systems will not be impaired.
Weatherstripping
To prevent freezing of the weatherstripping
on the doors, bonnet, etc., they should be
treated with silicone grease or spray.
Additional equipment
It is a good idea to carry a shovel or a short-
handled spade in the vehicle during the win-
ter so that you can clear away snow if you get
stranded. A small hand-brush for sweeping
snow off the vehicle and a plastic scraper for
the windscreen and rear window are also use-
ful.

Fusible links

The fusible links will melt to prevent a fire if
a large current attempts to flow through cer-
tain electrical systems.
In case of a melted fusible link, we recom-
mend you to have your vehicle inspected.

partment and in the engine compartment.
