Turn-signal indication lamps - green
ED52A-BB
These indication lamps blink on and off when a
turn-signal lamp is operating.NOTE
If the blinking is too fast, the cause may be a faulty
turn-signal connection or a blown lamp bulb.Hazard warning indication lamps - green
ED30A-A
When the hazard warning lamp switch is pressed,
all turn-signal lamps will flash on and off continu-
ously.Engine oil level warning lamp-amber
ED26A-D
This lamp illuminates when the ignition switch is
turned to the “ON” position, and goes off after theengine has started. If it lights up while the engine is
running, the oil level is too low.
If the warning lamp lights while the engine is run-
ning, stop the engine and add engine oil to speci-
fied level. (Refer to “Engine oil” on page 9-2.)
Low fuel indication lamp - amber
ED63ABD
The indication lamp comes on when the fuel tank is
getting low. Refuel as soon as possible.
CAUTION
On petrol-powered vehicles, do not drive with
an extremely low fuel level; running out of fuel
could cause damage to the catalytic con-
verter.
NOTE
On inclines or curves, due to the movement of fuel
in the tank, the low fuel indication lamp may come
on earlier than usual.

to adjust the headlamp illumination dis-
tance (when the lower beam is illuminated)
so that the headlamps’glare does not dis-
tract the drivers of approaching vehicles.

Crossing a stream4-wheel drive vehicles are not necessar-
ily waterproof. If the electrical circuits
become wet, further operation of the
vehicle will be impossible; therefore, avoid
crossing streams unless absolutely nec-
essary. If crossing a stream is unavoid-
able, use the following procedure:
(1) Check depths of the stream and geo-
graphical features before attempting to
cross a stream and ford the stream
where the water is as shallow as prac-
ticable.
(2) Cross at a place where the water is less
than 6 cm deep.
(3) Set the transfer shift lever to“4L”(part
time 4WD) or“4LLc”(super select 4WD
II).
(4) Drive slowly at a speed of approxi-
mately 5 km/h (3 mph) to avoid splash-
ing too much water.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to cross a stream at
a place where the water is more than
60 cm deep.
Frequent crossing of streams can
adversely affect the life span of the
vehicle; consult an authorized
MITSUBISHI dealer and take the nec-
essary measures to prepare, inspect,
and repair the vehicle.
After crossing a stream, apply the brakes
to be sure they are functioning properly. If
the brakes are wet and not functioning
properly, dry them out by driving slowly
while lightly depressing the brake pedal.
Inspect each part of the vehicle carefully.
Inspection and maintenance follow-
ing rough road operationAfter operating the vehicle in rough road
conditions, be sure to perform the follow-
ing inspection and maintenance proce-
dures :
(1) Check that the vehicle has not been
damaged by rocks, gravel, etc.
(2) Carefully wash the vehicle with water.
Drive the vehicle slowly while lightly
depressing the brake pedal in order to
dry out the brakes. If the brakes still do
not function properly, contact an autho-
rized MITSUBISHI dealer as soon as
possible to have the brakes checked.
(3) Remove insects, dried grass, etc. clog-
ging the radiator core.
(4) If a stream has been crossed, check
the engine, transmission, and differen-
tial oil. If the oil or grease is milky or
cloudy because of water contamina-
tion, it must be replaced with new oil.
(5) Check the inside of the vehicle. If
ingress of water is found, dry the car-
pet etc.
(6) Inspect the headlamps. If the head-
lamp bulb is flooded with water, have
the bulb drained off at an authorized
MITSUBISHI dealer.
(7) Have an authorized MITSUBISHI
dealer replace grease in the wheel
bearings.

6. Insert a new fuse of the same capac-
ity by using the fuse puller and insert the
fuse at the same place in the fuse box.
CAUTION
(1) If the newly inserted fuse blows
again after a short time, have the
electric system checked by an
authorized MITSUBISHI dealer to
find the cause and rectify it.
(2) Never use a fuse with a capac-
ity larger than that specified or
any substitute, such as wire, foil,
etc.; doing so will cause the cir-
cuit wiring to heat up and could
cause a fire.
Replacement of lamp bulbs
EN10A-Ab
Before replacing a bulb, ensure the lamp
is off. Do not touch the glass part of the
new bulb with your bare fingers; the skin oil
left on the glass will evaporate when the
bulb gets hot and the vapor will con-
dense on the reflector and dim the sur-
face.
