INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
4–7
Turn-signal indication lamps - greenED52A-Bb
These indication lamps blink on and off when a turn-
signal lamp is operating.
NOTE
If the blinking is too fast, the cause may be a faulty
turn-signal connection or a blown lamp bulb.
Hazard warning indication lamps - greenED30A-A
When the hazard warning lamp switch is pressed, all
turn-signal lamps will flash on and off continuously.
High-beam indication lamp - blueED51A-Aa
This indication lamp illuminates when the high beam
is used.
Low fuel indication lamp - amberED63AMEa
The indication lamp comes on when the fuel tank is
getting low. Refuel as soon as possible.
CAUTION
Do not drive with an extremely low fuel level,
running out of fuel could cause damage to the
catalytic converter.
NOTE
(1) On inclines or curves, due to the movement of
fuel in the tank, the low fuel indication lamp may
come on earlier than usual.
(2)When the engine on diesel–powered vehicles
fails to operate owing to running out of fuel, it
may sometimes be difficult to start after refuel-
ing. This is due to air entering the fuel system.
Therefore, air must be bled from the system.
(Refer to the page 8–21.)

Turn/lane-change signalsEE11D-N
The turn-signal lamps flash when the switch
is operated (with the ignition switch “ON”). At
the same time, the turn signal indicator
flashes.
1-Turn-signals
When making a normal turn, use posi-
tion (1). The lever will return automati-
cally when cornering is completed.
There are times when the lever will not
return after cornering. This occurs
when the steering wheel is turned only
slightly.
In such cases, return the lever by
hand.
2-Lane-change signals
When changing lanes, use position
(2). It will return to the neutral position
when released.NOTE
If the lamp flashes unusually quickly, the bulb
in a turn–signal lamp may have burned out.
Have the vehicle inspected by an authorized
MITSUBISHI dealer.
E01G011a
Headlamp levelling switchEE01GMF
The angle of the headlamp beam varies
depending upon the load carried by the ve-
hicle.
The headlamp levelling switch can be
used to adjust the headlamp illumination
distance (when the lower beam is illumi-
nated) so that the headlamps’ glare does
not distract the drivers of approaching ve-
hicles. Set the switch (referring to the fol-
lowing table) to the appropriate position
according to the number of people and the
load in the vehicle.

5. Insert a new fuse of the same capacity
into the clip and insert the fuse at the
same place in the fuse box.
CAUTION
(1) If the newly inserted fuse blows
again after a short time, have the
electrical system checked and re-
paired by an authorized MITSUBI-
SHI dealer to find the cause and
rectify it.
(2) 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
fire.
Replacement of lamp bulbsEN10A-Ab
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 vapor will condense on the re-
flector and dim the surface.
