NOTElIf  the  lamp  flashes  unusually  quickly,  the
bulb  in  a  turn-signal  lamp  may  have  burned out.  We  recommend  you  to  have  the  vehicle
inspected.
l It  is  possible  to  activate  the  following  func-
tions.
• Flashing  of  the  turn-signal  lamps  when
the  lever  is  operated  with  the  ignition
switch or the operation mode is in ACC.
• Deactivate  the  turn-signal  lamp  3-flash
function for lane changes.
• The  time  required  to  operate  the  lever  for
the 3-flash function can be adjusted.
For  further  information,  we  recommend  you
to  consult  a  MITSUBISHI  MOTORS  Au-
thorized Service Point.Hazard warning flasher
switch E00506600860
Use  the  hazard  warning  flasher  switch  when
the  vehicle  has  to  be  parked  on  the  road  for
any emergency.
The  hazard  warning  flashers  can  always  be operated, regardless of the ignition switch po-
sition or the operation mode.
 
Push the switch to turn on the hazard warning
flashers,  all  turn-signal  lamps  flash  continu-
ously.  To  turn  them  off,  push  the  switch
again.NOTEl While the hazard warning lamps are blinking
due  to  having  manually  pushed  the  switch, the  emergency  stop  signal  system  does  not
operate.

NOTElDriving on rough roads can cause rust on the
vehicle; wash the vehicle thoroughly as soonas possible after such use.
Climbing/descending sharp
grades
Your  vehicle  may  not  provide  sufficient  hill
climbing  ability  and  engine  braking  on  steep slopes.  Avoid  driving  on  steep  slopes  even
though the vehicle is a 4-wheel drive vehicle.
Driving through water
E00618900106
If  the  electrical  circuits  become  wet,  further operation  of  the  vehicle  will  be  impossible;
therefore,  avoid  driving  through  water  unless absolutely  necessary.  If  driving  through  wa-ter  is  unavoidable,  use  the  following  proce-
dure:
 
Check  the  depth  of  the  water  and  the  terrain before  attempting  to  drive  through  it.  Driveslowly  to  avoid  creating  excessive  water
splashing.
CAUTIONl Never  drive  through  water  that  is  deep
enough  to  cover  wheel  hubs,  axles  or  ex-
haust pipe. Do not change the gearshift lever position  ( M/T)  or  the  selector  lever  position
(A/T or CVT) while driving through water.
Frequent  driving  through  water  can  adverse-
ly affect the life span of the vehicle; we rec- ommend you to take the necessary measuresto prepare, inspect, and repair the vehicle.
l After  driving  through  water,  apply  the
brakes  to  be  sure  they  are  functioning  prop- erly.  If  the  brakes  are  wet  and  not  function-
ing properly, dry them out by driving slowly
while  lightly  depressing  the  brake  pedal.  In- spect each part of the vehicle carefully.Inspection and maintenance
following rough roadoperation E00606700338
After  operating  the  vehicle  in  rough  road
conditions,  be  sure  to  perform  the  following inspection and maintenance procedures:
l Check that the vehicle has not been dam-
aged by rocks, gravel, etc.
l Carefully wash the vehicle with water.
Drive  the  vehicle  slowly  while  lightly
depressing  the  brake  pedal  in  order  to dry  out  the  brakes.  If  the  brakes  still  do
not  function  properly,  we  recommend you  to  have  the  brakes  checked  as  soon
as possible.
l Remove  the  insects,  dried  grass,  etc.
clogging the radiator core.
l After  driving  through  water,  check  the
engine,  transmission  and  differential  oil. If the oil or grease is milky or cloudy be-
cause of water contamination, it must be
replaced with new oil or grease.
l Check  the  inside  of  the  vehicle.  If  water
entry is found, dry the carpet etc.
l Inspect  the  headlamps,  If  the  headlamp
bulb  is  flooded  with  water,  we  recom- mend you to have it drained.Cautions on handling of 4-
wheel drive vehicles E00606802085
Tyres and wheels
Since the driving torque can be applied to the
4  wheels,  the  driving  performance  of  the  ve- hicle  when  operating  in  4-wheel  drive  is
greatly affected by the condition of the tyres.

Fuel, engine coolant, oil and ex- haust gas leakage
Look under the body of your vehicle to check
for  fuel,  engine  coolant,  oil  and  exhaust  gas
leaks.
WARNINGl If  you  see  a  suspicious  fuel  leak  or  if  you
smell  fuel,  do  not  operate  the  vehicle;  call
your  MITSUBISHI  MOTORS  Author-
ized Service Point for assistance.
Exterior and interior lamp op-
eration
Operate  the  combination  lamp  switch  to
check that all lamps are functioning properly.
If  the  lamps  do  not  illuminate,  the  probable cause is a blown fuse or defective lamp bulb.
Check  the  fuses  first.  If  there  is  no  blown
fuse, check the lamp bulbs.
For  information  regarding  the  inspection  and
replacement  of  the  fuses  and  the  lamp  bulbs, refer  to  “Fuses”  on  page  10-20  and  “Re-
placement of lamp bulbs” on page 10-26.
If  the  fuses  and  bulbs  are  all  OK,  we  recom-
mend  you  to  have  your  vehicle  checked  and
repaired.
Meter, gauge and indicator/warning lamps operation
Start  the  engine  and  check  the  operation  of all  instruments,  gauges  and  indication  andwarning lamps.
If  there  is  anything  wrong,  we  recommend you to have your vehicle inspected.
Hinges and latches lubrication
Check all latches and hinges, and, if necessa- ry, have them lubricated.
For cold and snowy weather
E01002800361
Ventilation slots
The  ventilation  slots  in  front  of  the  wind-
screen  should  be  kept  clear  of  leaves  or brushed  clear  after  heavy  snowfall,  so  that
the  operation  of  the  heating  and  ventilation
systems will not be impaired.

1. Before  replacing  a  fuse,  always  turn  off
the  electrical  circuit  concerned  and  turn
the  ignition  switch  to  the  “LOCK”  posi-
tion or put the operation mode in OFF.
2. Remove  the  fuse  puller  (A)  from  the  in-
side  of  the  fuse  box  in  the  engine  com-
partment.
3. Referring to the fuse load capacity table,
check the fuse pertaining to the problem.
B- Fuse is OK
C- Blown fuse
NOTEl If  any  system  does  not  function  but  the  fuse
corresponding to that system is normal, theremay  be  a  fault  in  the  system  elsewhere.  We recommend  you  to  have  your  vehiclechecked.
4. Use  the  fuse  puller  to  insert  a  new  fuse
with  the  same  capacity.  Make  sure  you
insert  the  fuse  into  the  same  location  in
the fuse block.
CAUTIONl If the newly inserted fuse blows again after a
short  time,  we  recommend  you  to  have  the electrical  system  checked  to  find  the  causeand rectify it.
l Never  use  a  fuse  with  a  larger  capacity  than
specified  or  a  substitute  (such  as  a  cable  or
foil).  Doing  so  could  cause  the  circuit  wires
to overheat and create a fire.Replacement of lamp bulbs
E01003101922
Before  replacing  a  bulb,  ensure  the  lamp  isoff.  Do  not  touch  the  glass  part  of  the  new
bulb  with  your  bare  fingers;  the  skin  oil  left
on  the  glass  will  evaporate  when  the  bulb gets  hot  and  the  vapour  will  condense  on  the
reflector and dim the surface.
Replacement of lamp bulbs
10-26OGAE17E2Maintenance10      

CAUTIONlBulbs  are  extremely  hot  immediately  after
being turned off.
When  replacing  a  bulb,  wait  for  it  to  cool
sufficiently  before  touching  it.  You  could otherwise be burnt.
l Do  not  install  commercially  available  LED-
type bulbs.
Commercially  available  LED-type  bulbs
could  adversely  affect  the  operation  of  the vehicle, such as by preventing the lamps andother  vehicle  equipment  from  operating
properly.NOTEl If  you  are  unsure  of  how  to  carry  out  the
work  as  required,  we  recommend  you  to consult a specialist.
l Be  careful  not  to  scratch  the  vehicle  body
when removing a lamp or lens.
l When  it  rains  or  when  the  vehicle  has  been
washed, the inside of the lens sometimes be-
comes  foggy.  This  is  the  same  phenomenon as  when  window  glass  mists  up  on  a  humid
day, and does not indicate a functional prob- lem.
When  the  lamp  is  switched  on,  the  heat  will
remove  the  fog.  However,  if  water  gathers inside  the  lamp,  we  recommend  you  to  havethe lamp checked.Bulb capacity
