CAUTIONlIf the diesel preheat indication lamp comes
on after the engine is started, the engine speed may not rise above the idling speedbecause of fuel freezing. In this case, keep
the engine idling for about ten minutes, then turn off the ignition switch and immediately
turn it on again to confirm that the diesel
preheat indication lamp is off.NOTEl If the engine is cold, the diesel preheat indi-
cation lamp is on for a longer time.
l When the engine has not been started within
about 5 seconds after the diesel preheat indi- cation lamp went out, return the ignition
switch to the “LOCK” position. Then, turn
the switch to the “ON” position to preheat the engine again.
l When the engine is warm, the diesel preheat
indication lamp does not come on even if the

tion.Fuel filter indication lamp (die-
sel-powered vehicles)
E00509901337
This indication lamp illumi-
nates when the ignition
switch is turned to the “ON” position and goes off after
the engine has started. If it lights up while the engine is
running, it indicates that water has accumula-
ted inside the fuel filter; if this happens, re- move the water from the fuel filter. Refer to
“ Removal of water from the fuel filter (die- sel-powered vehicles only) ” on page 8-06.
When the lamp goes out, you can resume

Automatic switching conditions
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
l The 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.NOTE• 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 trafficto be dazzled by high-beam or the low beam
to be maintained. In such cases, you should switch the headlamp beams manually.
• In bad weather (heavy rain, fog, snow or
sandstorm).
• The windscreen is dirty or fogged up.
• The windscreen is cracked or broken.
• The inside rear view mirror or the camera
is deformed or dirty.
• A light, which is similar to the headlamps
or tail lamps, is shining around your vehi-
cle
• A vehicle in front or oncoming vehicle is
driven without lights, the exterior lamps
are dirty or discoloured, or the direction of the headlamp beams is adjusted im- properly

If the warning lamp illuminateswhile driving
E00607300416
If only the ABS warning lamp illuminates
l Avoid hard braking and high-speed driv-
ing. Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
Restart the engine and check to see whether the lamp goes out after a few
minutes driving; if it then remains off during driving, there is no problem.
However, if the lamp does not go out, or if it lights up again when the vehicle is
driven, we recommend you to have the
vehicle checked as soon as possible.
l The ABS warning lamp can illuminate if
the battery voltage is insufficient when the engine is started. In this case, it doesnot indicate an ABS fault.
Charge the battery by allowing the en- gine to idle for a while.
If the battery has been charged but the
ABS warning lamp continues to illumi-
nate or illuminates intermittently, we recommend you to have the vehicle in-
spected.
If the ABS warning lamp and
brake warning lamp illuminate
at the same time
l The ABS and brake force distribution
function will not work, so hard braking
could make the vehicle unstable.
Avoid hard braking and high-speed driv- ing. Stop the vehicle in a safe place and we recommend you to have it checked.
Inspection following snowy
road operation
E00618300012
After driving on snowy roads, remove any snow and ice which may have become ad-
hered to the wheel areas.
When doing this, be careful not to damage the wheel speed sensors (A) and cables loca-ted at each wheel on vehicles equipped with
an ABS.

Power steering system
E00607401528
The power steering system operates while the
engine is running. It helps reduce the effort needed to turn the steering wheel.
The power steering system has mechanical
steering capability in case the power assist is lost. If the power assist is lost for some rea-
son, you will still be able to steer your vehi-
cle, but you will notice it takes much more effort to steer. If this happens, have your ve-
hicle inspected at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.
WARNINGl Do not stop the engine while the vehicle is
moving. Stopping the engine would make the steering wheel extremely hard to turn,
possibly resulting in an accident.

CAUTIONlIf 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 capacity larger than
that specified or any substitute, such as wire,
foil, etc.; doing so will cause the circuit wir-
ing to heat up and could cause a fire.Replacement of lamp bulbs
E01003102118
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.
CAUTIONl Bulbs 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 lights andother vehicle equipment from operating
properly.NOTEl Do not attempt to repair or replace the lamp
bulbs other than described in this owner’s manual. For repair or replacement, contact aMITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.
l 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.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 it checked.Bulb capacity
