4. The headlights will come on in the low beam setting for about
30 seconds. After
the headlights go off, the headlights canbe turned on again in the low beam setting for about 30 seconds by pulling the turn signal lever toward you within 60 secondsof turning the ignition switch to the “OFF” or “LOCK” pos
ition or putting the
operation mode in OFF. To turn on the headlights again after 60 seconds of turn- ing the ignition switch to the “OFF” or“LOCK” position or putting the operation mode in OFF, repeat the process from step 1.

The direction of the headlight beam (thedirection in which th
e light shines) alters
according 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.
NOTE
 While the coming home light function is operating, perform one of the following operations to cancel the function. • Pull the turn signal lever toward you.
• 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 opera
tion mode in ON.
 It is possible to modify functions as follows: • The time that the headlights remain on can be changed. • The coming home light function can be deactivated. For details, consult a Mitsubishi Motors dealer. On vehicles equipped
with Mitsubishi Multi-
Communication System,
screen operations
can be used to make the adjustment. Refer to separate owne
r’s manual for details.

NOTE
WA R N I N G To avoid distraction wh
ile 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.

The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of
the tire when tested
under 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 the government course
as a tire graded 100.
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 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 contro
lled 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 ofperformance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.

Proper tire inflation pre
ssure is essential for
the safe and satisfac
tory operation of your
vehicle. The wrong tire pressure will causeproblems in three major areas:  Safety Too little pressure increases flexing in the tire and can cause tire failure. Too muchpressure can cause a tire to lose its ability to cushion shock. Objects on the road and potholes could then ca
use tire damage that
may result in tire failure.
 Economy The wrong tire pressure can cause unevenwear patterns in the tire tread. These abnormal wear patterns will reduce the tread life, and the tire will have to bereplaced sooner. Too little pressure also makes it harder for the tire to roll, and this uses up more fuel. Ride comfort and vehicle stability The superior riding ex
perience built into
your vehicle partly depends on the correct tire pressure. Too mu
ch pressure gives an
uncomfortable and ja
rring ride. Too little
pressure feels as if your vehicle is slow to respond. Unequal tire pressures can make steeringyour vehicle uneven
and unpredictable.
The tire pressure for your vehicle under nor- mal driving conditions is
listed on the placard
attached to the driver’s door sill.(Refer to “Tire and loading information plac- ard” on page 11-3.) The recommended inflation pressures undernormal driving conditions should be used for the tires listed below.
