The fusible links will melt to prevent a fire ifa large current attempts to flow through cer-tain electrical systems. In case of a melted fusible link, see your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice for inspection and replacement.For the fusible links, please refer to “Fuse load capacities” on page 9-25.

To prevent damage to the electrical systemfrom short-circuiting
or overloading, each
individual circuit is e
quipped with a fuse. The
fuse blocks are located in the passenger com- partment and in the engine compartment. The fuse blocks in the passenger compart- ment are located behind the fuse lid in frontof the driver’s seat at the position shown in the illustration. Pull the fuse lid to remove it. In the engine compartment, the fuse block is located as shown in the illustration. While pressing the tab (A), pull up the cover (B).

This fuse list shows the names of the electri- cal systems and their fuse capacities. There are spare fuses in the fuse block cover in the engine compartment. Always replace ablown fuse with one of
the same capacity as
the original.
Fusible links
WA R N I N G Fusible links must not be replaced by any other device. Failing to fit the correct fus-ible link may result in fire in the vehicle, property destruction and serious or fatal injuries at any time.

3. Clamp it on the fuse you wish to remove, and pull the fuse straight out from the fuseblock. 4. Use the fuse location diagrams and the matching tables, to check the fuse that isrelated to the problem. If the fuse is not blown, something else must be causing the problem. Have the system inspectedby your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
5. Insert a new fuse
of the same capacity
securely into the appropriate slot.
N00942901359
Before replacing the bulb, be sure the light is off. Do not touch the glass part of the new bulb with your bare fingers; the oil from your skin will stay on the glass and dim or destroythe bulb when it gets hot.
B- Fuse is OK
C- Blown fuseCAUTION Never use a fuse with a capacity greater than the one listed or any s
ubstitute, such as wire,
foil etc. This would
cause the circuit wiring
to heat up and could cause a fire. If the replacement fuse blows again after a short time, have the electrical system checked by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair faci
lity of your choice to
find and correct
the cause.
Replacement of light bulbs
CAUTIONBulbs are extremely hot immediately after being turned off.When replacing the bulb, wait for it to cool sufficiently before
touching it. You could
otherwise be burned.
Handle halogen light bul
b with care. The gas
inside a halogen light
bulb is highly pressur-
ized, so dropping, knocki
ng, or scratching a
halogen light bulb can
cause it to shatter.
Never hold the halogen
light bulb with a bare
hand, dirty glove, etc. The oil from your hand could cause the bulb to break the next time the headlights areused. If the glass surface is dirty, clean it with alcohol and let it dry completely beforeinstalling the bulb.NOTE
If you are unsure of how to carry out the work as required, it is recommended that these procedures be carried out by an autho- rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repairfacility of your choice. Be careful not to scratch the vehicle body when removing a light and lens.CAUTION
