INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
Turn-signal indication lamps - greenED52A-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 continuously.
High-beam indication lamp - blueED51A-Aa
This indication lamp illuminates when the high
beam is used.
Low fuel warning lamp - amberED63ABDa
The indication lamp illuminates on when the fuel
tank is getting low. Refuel as soon as possible.
CAUTIONOn petrol-powered vehicles, do not drive
with an extremely low fuel level, running
out of fuel could cause damage to the cat-
alytic converter.
NOTE
(1) On inclines or curves, due to the movement
of fuel in the tank, the low fuel indication lamp
may indicate incorrectly.
(2) When the engine on diesel-powered vehicles
fails to operate owing to running out of fuel, it
may sometimes not be restarted after refuel-
ing. This is due to air entering the fuel sys-
tem. Therefore, air must be bled from the
system. (Refer to the page 8-25.)
Door-ajar warning lamp - redED56A-Aa
This lamp illuminates when a door is either open
or incompletely closed.
CAUTIONBefore moving your vehicle, check that the
warning lamp is OFF.
Rear fog lamp indication lamp* - amber
ED74A-B
This lamp illuminates while the rear fog lamp is
on.

Headlamps
Rotate the switch to turn on the lamps.
- All lamps off
- Position, tail, licence-plate, and in-
strument panel lamps on
- Headlamps on and other lamps go
on
NOTE
[Vehicles with Dim Dip]
When the ignition key is in the “ON” posi-
tion and the lamp switch is set to the
“ ” position, the low beam of the head-
lamp will illuminate dimly.
Dipper (High/Low beam change)
EE11B-Dd
When the lamp switch is in the “ ” posi-
tion, the beam changes from high to low
(or low to high) each time the lever is
pulled to (1). While the high beam is on,
the high beam indication lamp in the in-
strument cluster will also illuminate.
[Vehicles with Daytime Running Lamp]
When the ignition key is in the “ON” posi-
tion and the lamp switch is set to the “ ”
position, the low beam of the headlamps,
tail lamps, etc., will illuminate.
Lamp monitor system
If the driver’s door is opened when the key
is in the “LOCK” or “ACC” position or re-
moved from the ignition switch with the
lamp switch in the “ ” or “ ” position,
a buzzer will sound to remind the driver to
turn off the lamps.
Turn of the lamp switch, and the buzzer
will stop.
NOTE
(1) Do not leave the headlamps and
other lamps on for too long while the
engine is stationary. A run-down bat-
tery could result.
(2) When it rains, or when the vehicle has
been washed, the inside of the lens
sometimes becomes foggy. This is the
same phenomenon as when window
glass mists up on a humid day, and
does not indicate a functional prob-
lem. When the lamp is switched on,
the heat will remove the fog. However,
if water gathers inside the lamp,
please go to an authorized MIT-
SUBISHI dealer for a check.

Headlamp levelling switch*
EE01GPDc
The angle of the headlamp beam varies
depending upon the load carried by the
vehicle.
The headlamp levelling switch can be
used to adjust the headlamp illumination
distance (when the lower beam is illumin-
ated) so that the headlamps’ glare does
not distract the drivers of approaching ve-
hicles.
Set the switch (referring to the following
table) to the appropriate position accord-

side rear-view mirrors” on page 5-38.
CAUTION(1) The demister switch is not for
melting snow but for cleaning
mist. Remove snow before us-
ing the demister switch.
(2) To avoid unnecessary battery
discharge, do not use the rear
window demister during starting
of the engine or when the engine
is not running. Turn the demist-
er off immediately after the win-
dow is clear.
(3) When cleaning the inside of the
rear window, use a soft cloth
and wipe gently along the heater
wires, being careful not to dam-
age the wires.
(4) Do not allow objects to touch
the inside of the rear window
glass, damaged or broken wires

turned off when the headlamp is
turned off.
(2) In case of vehicles with Daytime Run-
ning Lamp, the front fog lamp can be
operated even if the lamp switch is set
to the “ ” (OFF) position, because
the low beam of the headlamps, tail
lamps, etc. illuminate when the igni-
tion key is at the “ON” position.
(3) The rear fog lamp is installed only on
the driver’s side.

STARTING AND DRIVING
5-10
NOTE
(1) To remove the key, push in the key at
the “ACC” position and keep it de-
pressed until it is turned to the
“LOCK” position and remove it.(2) If your vehicle is equipped with igni-
tion switch illumination, the ignition
switch illumination comes on while
the driver’s door is opened and
remains on for approximately 15 sec-
onds (with keyless entry system,
approximately 30 seconds) after the
driver’s door is closed.
However, it will go off even before a
lapse of 15 seconds (with keyless
entry system, approximately 30 sec-
onds) if the ignition switch is set to the
“ON” position.
[Vehicle with keyless entry system]
When you get out of the vehicle and
remove the ignition key, it will be illu-
minated for about 30 seconds.
(3) If your vehicle is equipped with an elec-
tronic immobilizer, to start the engine,
the ID code which the transponder
inside the key sends must match the
one registered in the immobilizer com-
puter. (Refer to page 2-2.)
(4) If your vehicle is equipped with the
Daytime Running Light, when the
ignition switch is “ON”, the headlamp
low beams etc. are turned on. Refer
to “Headlamps”.
CAUTION(1) Do not remove the ignition key
from the ignition switch while
driving. The steering wheel will
be locked, causing loss of con-
trol.
(2) If the engine is stopped while
driving, the brake servomech-
anism will cease to function and
braking efficiency will deteri-
orate. Also, for vehicles with
power steering, the power steer-
ing system will not function and
it will require greater manual ef-
fort to operate the steering.
(3) Never coast downhill with the
engine OFF. Keep the engine
running whenever the vehicle is
in motion.
(4) Do not leave the key in the “ON”
position for a long time when the
engine is not running; doing so
will cause the battery to be dis-
charged.
(5) Do not turn the key to the
“START” position when the en-
gine is running; doing so could
damage the starter motor.

FOR PLEASANT DRIVING
Handling of compact discsEH12E-Dc
(1) Use only the compact discs with the
mark shown in the illustration above.
(Playback of CD-R discs may cause
problems. CD-RW discs cannot be
played.) The use of heart-shaped, oc-
tagonal, or any other non-circular
discs will result in damage.
(2) When the temperature suddenly
rises, i.e. immediately after the heater
is turned on in cold weather, dew con-
densation on the disc or in the player
might occur resulting in failure of op-
eration. In such a case, allow some
time before use.
(3) When the CD player is subjected to
violent vibration as during off-road
driving, detracking may result.(7) Do not use a disc that is cracked or
badly warped. Doing so might cause
a malfunction of the disc player.
(8) Do not use a ballpoint pen, felt pen,
pencil, etc. to write on the label sur-
face of the disc, and do not attach any
other labels, seals, etc.
CD player laser warning
Use of controls or adjustments, or per-
formance of procedures other than
normal use, may result in hazardous
radiation exposure.
Avoid direct exposure to beam. (4) When storing compact discs, always
store them in their individual cases.
Never place compact discs in direct
sunlight, or in any place where the
temperature or humidity is high.
(5) Take care never to touch the flat sur-
face of the disc where there is no
label. Doing so will contaminate the
disc surface and might adversely
affect the sound quality. When han-
dling a compact disc, always hold it by
grasping the outer circumference and
the centre hole.
(6) To clean the disc, use a soft, clean,
dry cloth. Wipe directly from the cen-
tre hole toward the outer-edge, do not
wipe in a circular pattern.
Never use any substances such as
benzine, paint thinner, a disc spray
cleaner, or an anti-static agent on the
disc.

FOR EMERGENCIES
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.
Bulb capacityEN10BPXb
A bulb should only be replaced with a new
bulb of the same rating and type. The
designation can be found on the base of
the bulb.
