When Parking The Vehicle After Replenishing The Adblue; Other Recommendations For Cold Weather Operation - Mitsubishi Fuso CANTER Owner's Handbook Manual

When parking the vehicle after
replenishing the AdBlue
When the urea tank becomes empty in cold weather
and you are going to park the vehicle, perform the
following procedure before parking.
•
Turn the starter switch to the "ON" position.
•
Wait until the warning/indicator lamps go out.
•
After the warning/indicator lamps go out,
remove the starter key.
Other recommendations for cold
weather operation
•
If the engine fails to start, turn the starter switch
back to the "ACC" position or "LOCK" position
and wait for the battery to recover before trying
to start the engine again.
•
As the temperature falls, battery performance
decreases. Check the battery electrolyte level
and its specific gravity.
•
Special lubricants/hydraulic fluids must be used
in cold regions where the ambient temperature
could drop below –25°C.
For details, consult your nearest authorized
MITSUBISHI FUSO distributor or dealer.
•
Use the windshield washer fluid containing addi-
tive at a concentration suitable for the cold
weather.
•
Occasionally check the undercarriage and
fender wells, and if necessary remove snow and
ice taking care not to damage vehicle parts as
you do so. There is ABS equipment, electrical
wiring, and so on at the inside of the tires, so be
careful not to damage them when removing
snow and ice from the tires.
•
The brakes may be frozen up when the vehicle
is driven on snow-laden roads or during parking
in cold weather. Since frozen brakes are slug-
gish to function, drive your vehicle carefully
while paying attention to vehicles behind as well
as in front and checking normal function of the
brakes from time to time by slightly depressing
the brake pedal. If the brakes are sluggish,
depress the brake pedal repeatedly while driving
at a low speed until normal braking returns.
•
Avoid parking on a slope. Select a level, flat sur-
face not directly exposed to wind or snow as far
as possible. If there is wind, turn the front of the
vehicle away from the wind.
