The lever (A) at the bottom of the mirror can be
used to adjust the mirror to reduce the glare from
the headlamps of vehicles behind you during night
driving.
1- Normal
2- Anti-glare
WARNINGl Do not attempt to adjust the rear-view
mirrors while driving. This can be danger-
ous.
Always adjust the mirrors before driving.Outside rear-view mirrors E00600900442
Compound curved-surface mirror
(LHD vehicles only)
On the driver’s seat side, a compound curved-sur-
face mirror is used, while on the front passenger’s
seat side, a single curvedsurface mirror is used.
1- Compound curved-surface mirror
2- Single curved-surface mirror
While the single curved-surface mirror has a fixed
curvature, the compound curved-surface mirror has
different curvatures between the inner and outer
sides of the boundary line (A).
The inner side of the boundary line provides the
same vision as that available from an ordinary door
mirror.
However, the outer side of the boundary line pro-
vides a wider vision than an ordinary door mirror.
WARNINGl The sense of distance that you get from
an object you see on the inner side of the
mirror boundary line differs from the
sense of distance that you get from an ob-
ject you see on the outer side.
An object you see on the outer side of the
boundary line of the mirror will look far-
ther away than actually is (farther away
than if you see in a normal flat mirror) as
compared with an object you see on the in-
ner side.To adjust the mirror position E00601000570WARNINGlDo not attempt to adjust the rear-view
mirrors while driving. This can be danger-
ous.
Always adjust the mirrors before driving.
l Your vehicle is equipped with convex
type mirrors.
Please take into consideration. Objects
you see in the mirror will look smaller
and farther away compared to a normal
flat mirror.
Do not use this mirror to estimate dis-
tance of following vehicles when changing
lanes.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine lThe ABS warning lamp can illuminate if the
battery voltage is insufficient when the en-
gine is started. In this case, it does not indi-
cate an ABS fault.
Charge the battery by allowing the engine to
idle for a while.
If the battery has been charged but the ABS
warning lamp continues to illuminate or illu-
minates intermittently, we recommend you
to consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point.
If the ABS warning lamp and brake warning
lamp illuminate at the same time
l The brake force distribution function may
not work, so hard braking could make the ve-
hicle unstable.
Avoid hard braking and high-speed driving.
Stop the vehicle in a safe place and we rec-
ommend you to consult a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
NOTE l Immediately after the vehicle starts moving
after engine start up, a whining sound of a mo-
tor will be heard from the engine compart-
ment. If the brake pedal is depressed at that
moment, a brake pedal pulsating is felt.
This whining sound and pulsation are due to
the self-diagnosis operation of the ABS and
does not indicate a malfunction.
l After driving on snowy roads, remove any
snow and ice which may have become ad-
hered to the wheel areas.
When doing this, be careful not to damage
the wheel speed sensors (A) and cables loca-ted at each wheel on vehicles equipped with
an ABS.
l The ABS becomes operative after the vehicle
has accelerated to a speed in excess of approx-
imately 10 km/h (6 mph). It stops operating
when the vehicle decelerates to a speed be-
low approximately 10 km/h (6 mph).
Electric power steering system E00607400026
The electric power steering system reduces the ef-
fort required to turn the steering wheel. It operates
while the engine is running.CAUTIONl Do not stop the engine while driving.
With the engine stopped, the steering ac-
tion would become extremely heavy and
an unexpected accident might occur.
NOTE
l If you repeatedly turn the steering wheel
fully to either side (while parking, for exam-
ple), a protective function that prevents the
system from overheating will be activated,
making the steering action gradually heavier.
In this event, turn the steering wheel as little
as possible for a while. When the system’s
temperature decreases, the steering action
will return to normal.
l If you turn the steering wheel while the vehi-
cle is stationary with its headlamps on, the
headlamps may grow dim. This phenomenon
does not indicate a fault. The headlamps will
return to their original brightness after a
short while.
Electric power steering warning lamp E00612400024
The electric power steering warning lamp comes
on and a buzzer sounds in the event of a control ab-
normality in the electric power steering system.
