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.)
Front fog lamp indication lamp* - greenED74B-A
This lamp illuminates while the front fog lamps are on.

Headlamps
Rotate the switch to turn on the lamps.
–All lamps off
–Position, tail, licence–plate, and
instrument panel lamps on
–Headlamps on and other lamps
remain on
Lamp monitor systemIf the driver’s door is opened when the key is
in the “LOCK” or “ACC” position or removed
from the ignition switch with the lamp switch
in the “
” or “” position, a buzzer will
sound to remind the driver to turn off the
lamps.
Turn off the lamp switch, and the buzzer will
stop.
[Vehicles with Daytime Running Lamp]When the ignition key is in the “ON” position
and the lamp switch is set to the “
” posi-
tion, the low beam of the headlamps, tail
lamps, etc., will illuminate.
NOTE
(1) Do not leave the headlamps and other
lamps on for too long time while the en-
gine is stationary. A run–down battery
could result.
(2) When it rains, or when the vehicle has
been washed, the inside of the lens
sometimes becomes foggy. This is the
same phenomenon as when window
glass mists up on a humid day, and
does not indicate a functional problem.
When the lamp is switched on, the heat
will remove the fog. However, if water
gathers inside the lamp, please go to an
authorized MITSUBISHI dealer for a
check.
E11C013a
Dipper (High/Low beam change)EE11B–Dd
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 to
(1). While the high beam is on, the high
beam indication lamp in the instrument
cluster will also illuminate.
Headlamp flasherEE11C-Fc
The high beams flash when the lever is
pulled slightly to (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
also illuminate.
NOTE
The high beams can also flash when the
lamp switch is OFF.

(4) When storing compact discs, always
store them in their individual cases.
Never place compact discs in direct
sunlight, or in any place where the tem-
perature or humidity is high.
H12F003a
(5) Take care never to touch the flat surface
of the disc where there is no label. Doing
so will contaminate the disc surface and
might adversely affect the sound quality.
When handling a compact disc, always
hold it by grasping the outer circumfer-
ence and the centre hole.
(6) To clean the disc, use a soft, clean, dry
cloth. Wipe directly from the centre hole
toward the outer-edge; do not wipe in a
circular pattern.
Never use any substances such as
benzine, paint thinner, a disc spray
cleaner, or an anti-static agent on the
disc.
(7) Do not use a disc that is cracked or
badly warped. Doing so might cause a
malfunction of the disc player.
(8) Do not use a ballpoint pen, felt pen, pen-
cil, etc. to write on the label surface of
the disc, and do not attach any other la-
bels, seals, etc.
CD player laser warning
Use of controls or adjustments, or
performance of procedures other than
normal use, may result in hazardous
radiation exposure.
Avoid direct exposure to beam.

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.

Bulb capacityEN10BMDh
A bulb should only be replaced with a new
bulb of the same rating and type. The desig-
nation can be found on the base of the bulb.
