The direction of the headlight beam (the direction in which the light shines) altersaccording to the number of people and the load in the vehicle. Lo
wer the headlight angle
if it is too high due to the number of peopleand/or the load in the vehicle so that the head- lights’ glare does not distract the drivers of approaching vehicles. First set the light switch to the “ ” position, then turn the headlight leveling switch knob to lower the
beam. The greater the number on the head- light leveling switch knob, the lower thebeam will point. Set the switch to the appropriate position so that the headlight beam is level with the road.

When changing lanes, or to making a gradual turn, hold the lever in the “lane change” posi- tion (1). It will return
to the neutral position
when you let go. Use the full position (2) when making a normal turn. The lever will return to the neutral position when the turn iscomplete. There may be times when the lever does not return to the neutral position. This usually happens when the steering wheel is turned only slightly. You can easily return the lever by hand.Also, when you move the lever to (1) slightly then release it, the turn signal lights and the indicator light in the instrument cluster willflash three times.
• Turn the combination headlights and dim- mer switch to the “ ” or “ ” position or put the operation mode in ON. • Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” posi- tion or put the operation mode in ON.
It is possible to modify functions as follows: • The time that the he
adlights remain on can
be changed. • The coming home light function can be deactivated. For details, consult a Mitsubishi Motors dealer. On vehicles e
quipped with Mitsubishi Multi-
Communication System, screen operations can be used to ma
ke the adjustment.
Refer to separate owne
r’s manual for details.

NOTE
WA R N I N G To avoid distraction while driving, always perform headlight
adjustments before
vehicle operation.NOTE
Start adjusting when the knob is at the “0” position (when the beam
is at its highest).
Keep the knob in the “0” position except when using the knob to lower the headlightbeam angle. Always return the knob to the “0” position when the load is removed and the people have left
the vehicle.

Maximum Pressure indicates the maximum permissible cold tire infla- tion pressure for this tire. The TIN may be found on one or both sides of the tire but the datecode may only be on one side. Look for the TIN on the outboard side of tires as mounted on the vehicle. If theTIN is not found on the outboard side then you will find it on the inboard side of the tire.

The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when testedunder controlled conditions on a specified government test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one-half (11/2) times as well on th
e government course
as a tire graded 100.
The relative performance
of tires depends upon th
e actual conditions of
their use, however, and may depart signifi-cantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service
practices and differ-
ences in road characteristics and climate. The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B and C. Those grades represent the tire’s ability to
stop on wet pavement as
measured under controlled conditions onspecified government te
st surfaces of asphalt
and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.
WA R N I N GOverloading of your tire is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehi- cle handling, and increaseyour stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load capacity for your vehicle.Never overload them.

DOT quality grades - Al

tires must conform to
Federal Safety Require-
ments in addition to these grades. The spe- cific grade rating in each grade category isshown on the side wall of the tires on your vehicle. The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of
the tire when tested

The relative performance
of tires depends upon the actual conditions of
their use, however, and may depart signifi- cantly from the norm due to variations indriving habits, service practices and differ- ences in road characteristics and climate. The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B and C. Those grades represent the tire’s ability to
stop on wet pavement as
measured under controlled conditions on specified government te
st surfaces of asphalt
and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance. The temperature grades are A (the highest), B and C, representing the ti
re’s resistance to the
generation of heat and it
s ability to dissipate
heat when tested un
der controlled conditions
on a specified indoor
laboratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause the
material of the tire to
degenerate and reduce
tire life, and excessive temperature can leadto sudden tire failure. The grade C corre- sponds to a level of performance which all passenger car tires must meet under the Fed-eral Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the labora
tory test wheel than
the minimum required by law.

If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should immediately inform theNational Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addi- tion to notifying Mitsubishi MotorsCorporation.

WA R N I N G The traction grade assi
gned to this tire is
based on straight-ahead braking tractiontests, and does not include acceleration, cornering, hydroplani
ng, or peak traction

Temperature A, B, C
WA R N I N G The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properlyinflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation
, or excessive load-
ing, either separately
or in combination,
can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.
