Headlamp levelling switch (except for
vehicles with discharge headlamps) E00517500465
The angle of the headlamp beam varies depending
on the load carried by the vehicle.
The
headlamp levelling switch can be used to ad-
just the headlamp illumination distance (when the
lower beam is illuminated) so that the headlamps’
glare does not distract other drivers.
Set the switch according to the following table. CAUTION

If you drive without the parking brake
fully released, the warning display will ap-
pear on the information screen in the mul-
ti-information display.
If a vehicle is driven without releasing the
parking brake, the brake will be overhea-
ted, resulting in ineffective braking and
possible brake failure.

able the DPF to burn away the PM, try to drive the
vehicle as follows:
l With the bar graph of engine coolant temper-
ature display stabilized in roughly the middle
of the scale, drive for about 20 minutes at a
speed of at least 40 km/h (25 mph). If the DPF warning display subsequently stays on,
contact

your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point. CAUTION
l
You
do not have to continuously drive ex-
actly as indicated above. Always strive to
drive safely in accordance with road con-
ditions.
