HeadlampsNOTE●
Do not leave the lights on for a long time while the engine is stationary (not running). A run-down battery could result.
●
When it rains, or when the
vehicle has been washed, the
inside of the lens sometimes becomes foggy, but this does not indicate a functional pr
oblem. When the lamp is
switched on, the heat will
remove the fog. However, if
water gathers inside the lamp, we recommend you to have it checked.

When the lamp switch is in the “ ” position, the beam changes from high to low (or low
to high) each time the lever is
pulled fully (1). While the high b
eam is on, the high beam indi-
cation lamp in the instrument cluster will also illuminate.
Headlamp flasher

●
It is possible to activate the following functions. For fur- ther information, we recommend you to consult a MIT- SUBISHI MOTORS Author
ized Service Point.
• Sounding of a buzzer as the turn-signal lamps flash• Flashing of the turn-signal lamps when the lever is oper- ated with the ignition switch in the “ACC” position • The turn signal-lamps 3-flash function for lane changescan be deactivated. • The time required to operate the lever for the 3-flash function can be adjusted.
1- Turn-signals
When making a normal turn, use position (1). The lever willreturn automatically when cornering is completed.
2- Lane-change signals
When changing lanes, use position (2). It will return to theneutral position when released.Also, when you move the lever to (2) slightly then release it,the turn-signal lamps and indication lamp in the instrumentcluster will flash 3 times.

Economical driving
E00600100561
For economical driving, there ar
e some technical requirements
that have to be met. The prerequisite for low fuel consumption is a properly adjusted engine. In order to achieve longer life ofthe vehicle and the most econo
mical operation, we recommend
you to have the vehicle checked
at regular intervals in accord-
ance with the service standards.Fuel economy and generation of exhaust gas and noise are highly influenced by personal driving habits as well as the par- ticular operating conditions. The following points should beobserved in order to minimize w
ear of brakes, tyres and engine
as well as to reduce environmental pollution.StartingAvoid rapid acceleration and sudden starts; such operation will result in higher fuel consumption.ShiftingShift only at an appropriate
speed and engine speed. Always
use the highest gear possible. The transfer shift lever should be set to “2H” when driving on normal roads and express ways to obtain best possible fueleconomy.City trafficFrequent starting and stopping
increases the average fuel con-
sumption. Use roads with smooth
traffic flow whenever possi-
ble. When driving on congested
roads, avoid use of a low gear
at high engine speeds.
IdlingThe vehicle consumes fuel even during idling. Avoid extended idling whenever possible.SpeedAt higher vehicle speed, more fu
el is consumed. Avoid driving
at full speed. Even a slight re
lease of the accelerator pedal will
save a significant amount of fuel.Tyre inflation pressureCheck the tyre inflation pressure
s at regular intervals. Low tyre
inflation pressure increases ro
ad resistance and fuel consump-
tion. In addition, low tyre pres
sures adversely affect tyre wear
and driving stability.LoadDo not drive with unnecessary articles in the luggage compart- ment. Especially during city dr
iving where frequent starting
and stopping is necessary, the increased weight of the vehicle will greatly affect fuel consumption. Also avoid driving with unnecessary luggage or carriers,
etc., on the roof; the increased
air resistance will increase fuel consumption.Cold engine startingStarting of a cold engine consumes more fuel. Unnecessary fuel consumption
is also caused by keeping a hot
engine running. After the engine is started, commence driving as soon as possible.Air conditioningThe use of the air conditioning
will increase the fuel consump-
tion.
