Dipper (High/Low beamchange)
E00506201557
When the lamp switch is in the “” posi-
tion, the beam changes from high to low (or
low to high) each time the lever is pulled fully (1). While the high-beam is on, the
high-beam indication lamp in the instrument
cluster will also illuminate.
Headlamp flasher
E00506300199
The high-beams flash when the lever is pulled slightly (2), and will go off when it is
released.
When the high-beam is on, the high-beam in- dication lamp in the instrument cluster will il-
luminate.
NOTEl The high-beams can also flash when the
lamp switch is OFF.
l If you turn the lamps off with the headlamps
set to high-beam, the headlamps are auto- matically returned to their low-beam setting
when the lamp switch is next turned to the

” position.
Automatic high-beam system*
E00538200090
The system switches the headlamp beams
(high/low) when the sensor (A) senses an il- luminant such as lights of a vehicle in frontor oncoming vehicle or street lamp.
WARNINGl The headlamp beams (high/low) may not
be switched automatically under certain
circumstances. Do not overestimate the system. It is the responsibility of the driv-
er to switch the headlamp beams (high/
low) manually to suit each driving condi- tion.
Refer to “Dipper (High/Low beam
change)” on page 6-56How to use the automatic high-
beam system

Automatic switching conditions
E00551600033
The high-beam headlamps illuminate when
all of the following conditions are met:
l Your vehicle speed exceeds approxi-
mately 40 km/h (25 mph).
l It is dark ahead of your vehicle.
l There are no vehicles in front or oncom-
ing vehicles, or none of their exterior
lamps are illuminated.
The low beam headlamps illuminate when
any of the following conditions occur:
l Your vehicle speed does not exceed ap-
proximately 30 km/h (19 mph).
l It is bright ahead of your vehicle.
l An exterior lamp of a vehicle in front or
oncoming vehicle is illuminating.NOTEl The headlamps may not be switched from
high-beam to low beam under the following circumstances.
• A vehicle in front or oncoming vehicle is
hindered by any object such as continuous
bends, elevated median/island, traffic
signs, roadside trees.
• Your vehicle passes an oncoming vehicle
suddenly on a bend with poor visibility.
• Another vehicle crosses ahead of your ve-
hicle.

NOTElThe headlamps may remain at low beam (or
be switched from high-beam to low beam)
when a reflective object (e.g. street lamp,
traffic signal, noticeboard and signboard) re- flects light.
l Any of the following factors may influence
the headlamp beam switching timing:
• How brightly the exterior lamps of a vehi-
cle in front or oncoming vehicle illumi-
nate.
• Movement or direction of a vehicle in
front or oncoming vehicle.
• Only right or left exterior lamp of a vehi-
cle in front or oncoming vehicle is illumi-
nating.
• A vehicle in front or oncoming vehicle is
a motorcycle.
• Road conditions (gradient, bends and road
surface).
• The number of occupants and luggage
load.
l The automatic high-beam system recognises
environmental conditions by sensing a lightsource ahead of your vehicle. Therefore, you
may feel like something is not quite right
when the headlamp beams are switched au- tomatically.
l The system may not detect a light vehicle
such as a bicycle.
l The system may not detect an ambient
brightness precisely. This causes the traffic to be dazzled by high-beam or the low beam
to be maintained. In such cases, you should switch the headlamp beams manually.NOTE• In bad weather (heavy rain, fog, snow or
sandstorm).
• The windscreen is dirty or fogged up.
• The windscreen is cracked or broken.
• The sensor is deformed or dirty.
• A light that is similar to the headlamps or
tail lamps is shining around your vehicle.
• A vehicle in front or oncoming vehicle is
driven without lights, the exterior lamps are dirty or discoloured, or the directionof the headlamp beams is adjusted im- properly.
• It becomes dark and bright suddenly and
continuously around your vehicle.
• Your vehicle is driven on uneven surfa-
ces.
• Your vehicle is driven on a winding road.
• A reflective object such as a noticeboard
or a mirror reflects a light ahead of yourvehicle.
• When lamps of the vehicle in front or
headlamps of an oncoming vehicle blend
into the other lamps.
• The rear end of a vehicle in front (such as
a container truck) reflect a strong light.
• Your vehicle’s headlamp is broken or
dirty.
• Your vehicle is inclined due to a flat tyre
or towing.
• The warning display appears.
(Refer to “System problem warning” on
page 6-58.)
l Observe the precautions below to maintain
good usage conditions:NOTE• Do not attempt to disassemble the sensor.
• Do not affix a sticker or label on the
windscreen near the sensor.
• Avoid overload.
• Do not modify your vehicle.
• When the windscreen is replaced, use the
MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE
parts.System problem warning
