automatically activate due to sud-
den braking while driving.
Refer to “Emergency stop signal
system” on page 4-37.
NOTE l If these indication lamps blink too
fast due to any operation other
than sudden braking, the cause
may be a blown lamp bulb or a faul-
ty turn-signal connection. High-beam indication lamp

Automatic headlamp levelling (vehi-
cles with discharge headlamps) E00517600453
This mechanism automatically adjusts the direction
of
the headlamps (beam position) depending on
changes in the condition of the vehicle, such as the
number of occupants or luggage weight. When the
headlamps are illuminated with the ignition switch
or the operation mode in ON, the beam position of
the headlamps is automatically adjusted when the
vehicle is stopped. Headlamp automatic levelling system warning dis-
play

If there is a fault in the automatic headlamp level-
ling

system, the warning display is displayed on
the information screen in the multi-information dis-
play. CAUTION
l
If
a warning is displayed, the system may
be malfunctioning, so we recommend you
to have your vehicle inspected. Turn-signal lever
E00506501231 1- Turn-signals
When
making a normal turn, use position
(1). The lever will return automatically when
cornering is completed.
2- Lane-change signals When moving the lever to (2) slightly to
change a lane, the turn-signal lamps and indi-
cation lamp in the instrument cluster will on-
ly flash while the lever is operated.
Also, when you move the lever to (2) slight-
ly then release it, the turn-signal lamps and in-
dication lamp in the instrument cluster will
flash 3 times.
NOTE l 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. Instruments and controls

Inspection and maintenance
following rough road operation E00606700338
After
operating the vehicle in rough road condi-
tions, be sure to perform the following inspection
and maintenance procedures:
l Check that the vehicle has not been damaged
by rocks, gravel, etc.
l Carefully wash the vehicle with water.
Drive the vehicle slowly while lightly depress-
ing the brake pedal in order to dry out the
brakes. If the brakes still do not function prop-
erly, we recommend you to have the brakes
checked as soon as possible.
l Remove the insects, dried grass, etc. clog-
ging the radiator core.
l After driving through water, check the en-
gine, transmission and differential oil. If the
oil or grease is milky or cloudy because of
water contamination, it must be replaced
with new oil or grease.
l Check the inside of the vehicle. If water en-
try is found, dry the carpet etc.
l Inspect the headlamps, If the headlamp bulb
is flooded with water, we recommend you to
have it drained. Cautions on handling of 4-wheel
drive vehicles E00606800746
Tyres and wheels
Since
the driving torque can be applied to the 4
wheels, the driving performance of the vehicle
when operating in 4-wheel drive is greatly affected
by the condition of the tyres.

Pay close attention to the tyres.
l Install only the specified tyres on all wheels.
Refer to “Tyres and wheels” on page 9-12.
l Be sure all 4 tyres and wheels are the same
size and type.
When it is necessary to replace any of the
tyres or wheels, replace all 4 tyres.
l All tyres should be rotated before the wear
difference between the front and rear tyres is
recognizable.
Good vehicle performance cannot be expected if
there is a difference in wear between tyres. Refer to
“Tyre rotation” on page 8-13. l Check the tyre inflation pressure regularly. CAUTION
l
Always
use tyres of the same size, same
type, and same brand, and which have no
wear differences. Using tyres of different
size, type, brands or degree of wear, will
increase the differential oil temperature,
resulting in possible damage to the driv-
ing system. Further, the drive train will
be subjected to excessive loading possibly
leading to oil leakage, component seizure,
or other serious faults.

General maintenance
E01002700520
Fuel, engine coolant, oil and exhaust
gas leakage
Look
under the body of your vehicle to check for
fuel, engine coolant, oil and exhaust gas leaks. WARNING
l 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 operation
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 re-
placement of the fuses and the lamp bulbs, refer to
“Fuses” on page 8-18 and “Replacement of lamp
bulbs” on page 8-23.
If the fuses and bulbs are all OK, we recommend
you to have your vehicle checked and repaired.
Meter, gauge and indicator/warning
lamps operation
Start the engine and check the operation of all in-
struments, 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 necessary,
have them lubricated. For cold and snowy weather
E01002800361
Ventilation slots
The
ventilation slots in front of the windscreen
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.
Weatherstripping
To prevent freezing of the weatherstripping on the
doors, bonnet, etc., they should be treated with sili-
cone grease.
Additional equipment
It is a good idea to carry a shovel or a short-han-
dled spade in the vehicle during the winter so that
you can clear away snow if you get stranded. A
small hand-brush for sweeping snow off the vehi-
cle and a plastic scraper for the windscreen and
rear window are also useful. Maintenance

B- Fuse is OK
C- Blown fuse
NOTE l If
any system does not function but the fuse
corresponding to that system is normal, there
may be a fault in the system elsewhere. We
recommend you to have your vehicle checked.
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. CAUTION
l
If
the newly inserted fuse blows again af-
ter a short time, we recommend you to
have the electrical system checked to find
the cause and rectify it.
l Never use a fuse with a larger capacity
than specified or a substitute (such as a ca-
ble or foil). Doing so could cause the cir-
cuit wires to overheat and create a fire. Replacement of lamp bulbs
E01003100488
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 evap-
orate when the bulb gets hot and the vapour will
condense on the reflector and dim the surface. CAUTION
l
Bulbs
are extremely hot immediately af-
ter being turned off.
When replacing a bulb, wait for it to cool
sufficiently before touching it. You could
otherwise be burnt.
NOTE l If

you are unsure of how to carry out the
work as required, we recommend you to con-
sult 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 in-
side the lamp, we recommend you to have
the lamp checked.

Handle
halogen lamp bulbs with care.
The gas inside halogen lamp bulbs is high-
ly pressurized, so dropping, knocking, or
