allow air to cool the brakes between applica-tions.Furthermore, it might be able to reduce theload of the brakes by using the regenerativebrake force.Leave plenty of room between the front ofyour vehicle and the preceding vehicle.If the caravan begins to sway or becomes dif-ficult to handle, gently slow down or applythe independent trailer brakes (if fitted) NOTthe vehicle brakes. Stop the vehicle andtrailer in a safe location. Examine the tyres ofthe trailer closely for damage. If you find thedamage of tyre, it is recommended that tyresbe inspected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORSAuthorised Service Point or a tyre retailerbefore proceeding further. Note that treadseparation [separation of the tread band fromthe body of the tyre] of trailer tyres which areaged, and/or loaded near their load limit, canbe difficult to detect, especially on caravanswhere tyres are covered.One cause of swaying is poor trailer balanceand until this has been overcome the swayingwill recur. Relocate the load in your trailer orcaravan and re-assess the problem.If the wheels of your vehicle, the trailer orcaravan leave the road surface and enter the
unsealed edge of the road, resist the urge topull it back quickly. Wait for a section wherethe levels of the road and unsealed edge arecomparable and then ease back onto thesealed section of the road with as little swayas possible.Try to maximise the distance between yourcaravan and passing or overtaking semi-trail-ers or other heavy vehicles. This will reducethe suction forces between the two and mini-mise disturbance of the caravan.Do not apply the brakes severely, be alert andanticipate trouble far enough ahead to enableyou to apply the brakes smoothly and evenly.Do not make any manoeuvres before ensuringthat the road behind and in front of your vehi-cle is clear.This will normally occur as a result of somemechanical failure. If your vehicle shouldoverheat, stop and check for a loose or brokenwater pump drive belt/ oil pump/cooling oil, ablocked radiator air intake or a low coolantlevel. If these items are satisfactory the over-heating could be caused by a number of
mechanical causes that would have to bechecked at a MITSUBISHI MOTORSAuthorised Service Point.If your vehicle is in good mechanical condi-tion and it overheats due to heavy traffic con-ditions or high air temperatures, additionalcooling may be obtained by the followingmethods: zReduce your speed by 15 km/h if towingat high speeds.
Normal cruising
Braking Overheating
CAUTION zIf the engine overheats,
reference should be
made to “Engine overheating” section of“For emergencies” prior to taking any cor-rective action.

Replacement of lamp bulbs

4. Insert a new fuse of the same capacity byusing the fuse puller into the same placein the fuse block.
E01003101805
Before replacing a bulb, ensure the lamp isoff. Do not touch the glass part of the newbulb with your bare fingers; the skin oil lefton the glass will evaporate when the bulb getshot and the vapour will condense on thereflector and dim the surface.
NOTE
zIf any system does not function but the fusecorresponding to that system is normal, theremay be a fault in the system elsewhere. Werecommend you to have your vehiclechecked.CAUTION zIf the newly inserted fuse blows again after ashort time, we recommend you to have theelectrical system checked to find the causeand rectify it. zNever use a fuse with a larger capacity thanspecified or a substitute (such as a cable orfoil). Doing so could cause the circuit wiresto overheat and create a fire.
Replacement of lamp bulbs
CAUTION zBulbs are extremely hot immediately afterbeing turned off.When replacing a bulb, wait for it to coolsufficiently before
touching it. You could
otherwise be burnt. zHandle halogen lamp bulb with care. The gasinside a halogen lamp
bulb is highly pressur-
ized, so dropping, knocking, or scratching ahalogen lamp bulb can cause it to shatter. zNever hold the haloge
n lamp bulb with a
bare hand, dirty glove, etc.The oil from your hand could cause the bulbto break the next tim
e the headlamps are
operated.If the glass surface is dirty, it must becleaned with alcohol, paint thinner, etc., andrefit it after drying thoroughly.
NOTE
zIf you are unsure of how to carry out thework as required, we
recommend you to con-
sult a specialist. zBe careful not to scratch the vehicle bodywhen removing a lamp or lens. zWhen it rains, or when the vehicle has beenwashed, the inside of the lens sometimesbecomes foggy. This is the same phenome-non as when window glass mists up on ahumid day, and does not
indicate a functional
problem.When the lamp is switched on, the heat willremove the fog. However, if water gathersinside the lamp, we
recommend you to have
the lamp checked.
