for fuel, engine coolant, oil and exhaust gas
leaks.

smell fuel, do not operate the vehicle; call
your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-

eration

check that all lamps are functioning properly.

replacement of the fuses and the lamp bulbs, refer to “Fuses” on page 10-19 and “Re-
placement of lamp bulbs” on page 10-25.
If the fuses and bulbs are all OK, we recom-
mend you to have your vehicle checked and
repaired.
