the other indication and warning lamps, refer to the subsequent
pages.

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.

switch
EE11AABi
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.

E11D026a
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.
