INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE RECOM-
MENDATION
The inspection and maintenance schedule you need to
follow for ensuring lasting safety and satisfaction with
your vehicle includes the following inspections and
maintenance.
1. Pre-operational checks
This is an inspection which should be performed by
drivers.
These pre-operational checks must be performed
everytime before operating your vehicle for the day.
This simple daily inspection will often prove to be
effective in preventing trouble.
Make it a habit to perform these pre-operational
checks as a part of your vehicle operation routine.
These pre-operational checks are detailed in the
“Simple inspection and service” section in the
Owner’s Handbook.
2. New vehicle inspections
During the “run-in” period when various parts are
subject to initial settlement, the vehicle requires spe-
cial inspections which are important for extending
your vehicle’s life. On the two occasions when the
odometer reading has reached 5,000 km (3,000
miles), respectively, see your nearest authorized
MITSUBISHI FUSO distributor or dealer for the new
vehicle inspections.
CAUTION
Do not operate your new vehicle beyond the
above distances without having it inspected.
3. Periodic inspection
This periodic inspection is performed on your own
initiative at intervals predetermined by distance trav-
eled (5,000 km / 3,000 miles) or period of use
(months) to ensure driving safety.
Inspections should be performed more frequently if
the vehicle is operated in severe conditions.
Over time, vehicle’s components wear down and
performance deteriorates as the vehicle is oper-
ated. To maintain a vehicle’s maximum performance
and ensure long term safety, therefore, you must
compensate for wear and reduced performance by
performing inspections and having servicing carried
out at regular intervals even after the lapse of the
“new vehicle inspection” period.
The periodic inspection intervals and items are indi-
cated in the “Periodic inspection schedule” section of
this manual.
