Turn-signal indicator lamps/Hazard
warning indicator lamps
E00501700042
These indicator 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.
When the hazard warning lamp switch is
pressed, all turn-signal lamps will flash on and
off continuously.

Low coolant temperature indicator
lamp
E00502200028
When the engine coolant temperature is low, this
indicator lamp illuminates and then goes out
when the temperature rises to roughly 40 °C or
more.
NOTE● When the indicator lamp goes out, this
should be used as a rough indication of
when the heating starts working.
● If the indicator lamp stays illuminated,
there may be a fault in the temperature sen-
sor or other component. We recommend
you to have your vehicle inspected.

3Turn-signal lever
E00506500537
The turn-signal lamps flash when the lever is operated (with
the ignition switch in the “ON” position). At the same time, the
turn signal indicator lamp flashes.
NOTE●
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.
● It is possible to change the number of times the turn-signal
lamps flash for a lane-change. For details, we recommend
you to consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.
1- Turn-signals
When making a normal turn, use position (1). The lever will
return automatically when cornering is completed.
There are times when the lever will not return after corner-
ing. This occurs when the steering wheel is turned only
slightly.
In such cases, return the lever by hand.
2- Lane-change signals When changing lane, gently move the lever once to position
(2). The turn-signal lamps and the indicator lamp in the
meter will flash three times.

Hazard warning flasher switch
E00506600088
Use the hazard warning flasher switch when the vehicle has to
be parked on the road for any emergency.
The hazard warning flashers can always be operated, regard-
less of the position of the ignition key.
Push the switch to turn on the hazard warning flashers; push
the switch again to turn them off.
When this switch is operated, all turn-signal lamps flash con-
tinuously, as do the turn-signal indicator lamps in the instru-
ment cluster.
Front fog lamp switch*
E00506800543
The front fog lamps illuminate only when the headlamps or tail
lamps turn on. Push the switch to turn on the front fog lamps,
and push the switch again to turn them off.
The indicator lamp in the instrument cluster will illuminate
while the front fog lamps are on.
NOTE●
The front fog lamps are automa tically turned off when the
headlamps and tail lamps turn off. To turn on the front fog
lamps again, push the switch again when the headlamps or
tail lamps turn on.
● In case of vehicles with Daytime Running Lamp, the front
fog lamp can be operated even if the lamp switch is set to
the “ ” (OFF) position, becau se the low beam of the
headlamps, tail lamps, etc. illuminate when the ignition
key is at the “ON” position.
CAUTION!
● If the lamps are kept flashing for a long time, the
battery will be discharged, resulting in difficulty or
inability to start the engine.

RDS uses PI (program identifi cation) signal and AF (alterna-
tive frequency) list transmitted in addition to the normal FM
broadcasting programs, and picks up the FM stations that are
transmitting the same program from the AF list and automati-
cally tunes to the station with the strongest signal intensity.
Therefore, you can continue listening to one program in, for
example, a long distance driving without retuning to the other
station transmitting the same program when you are leaving
the service area of the currently receiving station.
The RDS radio also features th e limited reception of the pro-
gram types, the break-in receptio n of the traffic announcement
to the EON (enhanced other network) and emergency broad-
cast, and the limite d/unlimited reception of the regional pro-
grams.
AF (Alternative Frequencies) functionE00720900032
The AF function finds a statio n broadcasting the same program
and selects the station with the strongest signal of AF lists.
The AF function is turned on (with the AF indicator (13)
shown on the display) at all times unless you manually switch
it off.
The AF function can be turned ON and OFF.
Refer to “Function setup mode” on page 5-38.
CT (Clock Time) functionE00721000014
The clock can be set automatically by using the signal from the
local RDS stations. Refer to “Digital clock” on page 3-16.
REG (Regional) functionE00721100015
REG function limits to receive the stations broadcasting
regional programs.
Regional programming and regional networks are organized
differently depending on the country or area (they may be
changed according to the hour, state, or broadcast area), so if
you don’t want to receive the re gional programs automatically,
you can set up REG ON not to receive regional programs.
The REG function can be turned ON and OFF.
Refer to “Function setup mode” on page 5-38.
PI (Program Identification) search functionE00721200032
When travelling long distance an d the recalled preset station is
weak, the radio searches another frequency broadcasting the
same programming with the same PI code in AF list.
If there are no frequencies broadcasting the same program-
ming, the radio searches a frequency broadcasting the regional
programming. The radio succeeds in searching the regional
programming, then the display shows the REG indicator (10).
If the radio does not succeed in searching the regional pro-
gramming, the radio returns to the recalled preset station.
PTY (Program type)E00721300105
RDS broadcasts are classified according to program type
(PTY) as follows. Use the TUNE/SEEK button (3 or 4) to
select your desired PTY.

TP (Traffic information Program) search functionE00721800038
The traffic information program standby function is turned on
(with the TP indicator (11) shown on the display) and after
about 45 seconds since the RDS indicator (9) turns off due to
weak signal or the tuning station is changed over from a TP
station to a station which does not broadcast traffic informa-
tion, the sound will beep 5 times and seeks out a TP station in
all frequencies automatically.
The TP search function can be turned ON and OFF.
Refer to “Function setup mode” on page 5-38.
