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
