2- Lane-change signalsWhen moving the lever to (2) slightly tochange a lane, the turn-signal lamps and
indication lamp in the instrument cluster will only flash while the lever is operat- ed.
Also, when you move the lever to (2) slightly then release it, the turn-signal lamps and indication lamp in the instru-
ment cluster will flash 3 times.NOTEl If 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.
• The turn-signal lamps 3-flash function for
lane changes can be deactivated.
• The time required to operate the lever for
the 3-flash function can be adjusted.
• Changing of the tone of a sounding buz-
zer as the turn-signal lamps flash.
For further information, we recommend you
to consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point.Hazard warning flasher
switch E00506602183
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 On vehicles equipped with the emergency
stop signal system, while the hazard warning lamps are blinking due to having manually
pushed the switch, the emergency stop sig-
nal system does not operate.
Refer to “Emergency stop signal system*” on page 6-56.

CAUTIONlAfter crossing a stream, apply the brakes to
be sure they are functioning properly. If the
brakes are wet and not functioning properly,
dry them out by driving slowly while lightly
depressing the brake pedal.
Inspect each part of the vehicle carefully.Inspection and maintenance
following rough roadoperation E00606701566
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 and A/T oil
cooler.
l After crossing a stream, be sure to have
the following items inspected at aMITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point and take the necessary
measures. • Check the brake system and, if neces-
sary, have it serviced.
• Check the engine, transmission, trans-
fer, and differential oil or grease level
and turbidity. If the oil or grease is milky, it indicates water contamina-
tion. Replace it with new oil or grease.
• Grease the propeller shaft.
• Check the inside of the vehicle. If in-
gress of water is found, dry the carpet etc.
• Inspect the headlamps. If the head-
lamp bulb is flooded with water, have the headlamp drained off.Cautions on handling of 4-
wheel drive vehicles E00606802102
Tyres and wheels
Since the driving torque can be applied to the
4 wheels, the performance of the vehicle when operating in 4-wheel drive is greatly af- fected by the condition of the tyres.
Pay close attention to the tyres.
l Install specified tyres on all wheels. Re-
fer to “Tyres and wheels” on page
11-16.
l Be sure to the appropriate tyre inflation
pressure according to no cargo or cargo.
Refer to “Tyre inflation pressures” on
page 10-12.
l Be sure to fit all 4 tyres and wheels of
the same size and type.
When replacement of any of the tyres or wheels is necessary, replace all of them.
l All tyres should be rotated whenever the
wear difference between the front and
rear tyres is recognizable.
Good vehicle performance cannot be expec- ted if there is a difference in wear between tyres. Refer to “Tyre rotation” on page 10-13.
l Check the tyre inflation pressure regular-
ly.CAUTIONl Always use tyres of the same size, same
type, and same brand, and which have no wear differences. Using the tyres which dif-fer in size, type, brands or the degree of
wear or the inappropriate tyre inflation pres-
sure, will increase the differential oil tem- perature and may be impossible to shift the transfer, resulting in possible damage to thedriving system. Further, the drive train willbe subjected to excessive loading, possibly
leading to oil leakage, component seizure, or
other serious faults.

blade.
Refer to the illustration to ensure that the
retainers are correctly aligned as you at- tach them.
4. Insert the wiper blade into the arm, start-
ing with the opposite end of the blade from the stopper. Make sure the hook
(B) is fitted correctly in the grooves inthe blade.

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
fuses, check the lamp bulbs.
For information regarding the inspection and
replacement of the fuses and the bulbs, refer
to “Fuses” on page 10-17 and “Replacement
of lamp bulbs” on page 10-21.
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 to check the operation of all
instruments, gauges, and indication and warning 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.

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. Insert a new fuse of the same capacity
by using the fuse puller into the same
place at 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
E01003102121
Before replacing a bulb, ensure the lamp is off. 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.CAUTIONl Bulbs are extremely hot immediately after
being turned off.
When replacing a bulb, wait for it to cool sufficiently before touching it. You couldotherwise be burnt.
l Handle halogen lamp bulbs with care. The
gas inside halogen lamp bulbs is highly pres-
surized, so dropping, knocking, or scratching
a halogen lamp bulb can cause it to shatter.
Replacement of lamp bulbs
10-21OKTE17E1Maintenance10
CAUTIONlNever hold the halogen lamp bulb with a
bare hand, dirty glove, etc.
The oil from your hand could cause the bulb to break the next time the headlamps are op-
erated.
If the glass surface is dirty, it must be cleaned with alcohol, paint thinner, etc., and
refit it after drying it thoroughly.
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 and
other 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 and lens.NOTEl 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 gath- ers inside the lamp, we recommend you tohave the lamp checked.Bulb location and capacity
