The sensitivity of the sensor can be temporar- ily lowering in the following ways. 1. Park your vehicle in a safe place and the ignition switch is turned to the “OFF” position or the operation mode is put inOFF.
NOTE
 The headlights may not be switched from high beam to low beam under the following circumstances. • A vehicle in front or oncoming vehicle is hindered by any object such as continuous bends, elevated median/island, traffic signs, roadside trees. • Your vehicle passes an oncoming vehicle suddenly on a bend with poor visibility. • Another vehicle crosses ahead of your vehi- cle.
 The headlights may remain at low beam (or be switched from high beam to low beam)when a reflective object
(e.g. street light,
traffic signal, noticeboard and signboard) reflects light.  Any of the following factors may influence the headlight beam switching timing: • How brightly the exteri
or lights of a vehicle
in front or oncoming vehicle illuminate. • Movement or direction of a vehicle in front or oncoming vehicle. • Only right or left exterior light of a vehicle in front or oncoming vehicle is illuminat-ing. • A vehicle in front or oncoming vehicle is a motorcycle. • Road conditions (gradient, bends and road surface). • The number of occupants and luggage load.
 The AHB recognizes environmental condi- tions by sensing a light source ahead of your vehicle. Therefore, you may feel like some- thing is not quite right when the headlight beams are switched automatically.  The system may not detect a light vehicle such as a bicycle.  The system may not detect an ambient brightness precisely. This causes the trafficto be dazzled by high beam or the low beam to be maintained. In such cases, you should switch the headlight beams manually. • In bad weather (heavy rain, fog, snow or sandstorm). • The windshield is dirty or fogged up. • The windshield is cracked or broken. • The sensor is deformed or dirty.• A light, which is similar to the headlights or tail lights, is shining around your vehicle. • A vehicle in front or oncoming vehicle is driven without lights, the exterior lights aredirty or discolored, or the direction of the headlight beams is adjusted improperly. • It becomes dark and bright suddenly and continuously around your vehicle. • Your vehicle is driven on uneven surfaces. • Your vehicle is driven on a winding road.• A reflective object such as a noticeboard or a mirror reflects a light ahead of your vehi- cle.NOTE
• When lights of the vehicle in front or head-lights of an oncoming vehicle blend into the other lights. • The rear end of a vehicle in front (such as a container truck) reflect a strong light. • Your vehicle's headlight
is broken or dirty.
• Your vehicle is inclined due to a flat tire or towing. • The warning display appears. (Refer to “System problem warning” onpage 5-194.)
 Observe the precautions below to maintain good usage conditions: • Do not attempt to disassemble the sensor.• Do not affix a sticker or label on the wind- shield near the sensor. • Avoid overload. • Do not modify your vehicle. • When the windshield is replaced, use the Mitsubishi Motors genuine parts.

The direction of the headlight beam (thedirection in which the light shines) altersaccording to the number of people and the load in the vehicle. Lower the headlight angle if it is too high due to the number of peopleand/or the load in the vehicle so that the head- lights’ glare does not distract the drivers of approaching vehicles. First set the light switch to the “ ” position, then turn the headlight leveling switch knob to lower the beam. The greater the number on the head- light leveling switch knob, the lower thebeam will point. Set the switch to the appropriate position so that the headlight beam is level with the road.

N00523701514
The rear window defogger can be used when the engine is running.The indicator light (A) will come on when you press the electric rear window defogger switch. Electric current will flow through theheating wires on the rear window to help clear away moisture or frost. After approximately 15 to 20 minutes of operation, the system will shut off automati- cally. To switch the defogger OFF before 15 to20 minutes have passed, press the switch again. The indicator light will go out and the defogger will turn off.
If you need the defogger for more than 15 to 20 minutes, press the switch again. This will add 15 to 20 more minutes.
NOTE
 Do not use the wipers when the windshield is dry. This could scratch the glass and wear the wiper blades prematurely.  Before using the wipers in cold weather, check to be sure that the wiper blades are not frozen to the windshield or rear window. Using the wipers while the blades are frozencould cause the wiper motor to burn out.  If the moving wipers become blocked part- way through a sweep by ice or other deposits on the glass, the wipers may temporarily stop operating to prevent the motor from over-heating. In this case, park the vehicle in a safe place, turn the ignition switch to the “OFF” position or put the operation mode inOFF, and then remove the ice or other depos- its. Because the wipers will start operating againafter the wiper motor cools down, check that the wipers operate before using them.  Avoid using the washer for more than 20 sec- onds at a time. Do not operate the washer when the washer fluid reservoir is empty orthe pump may fail.  During cold weather, add a recommended washer solution that will not freeze in the washer fluid reservoir. Otherwise the washer may not work or may be damaged.  Replace the wiper blades when they are worn. Use the proper size replacement blades. For further information, please con- tact your authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer.
Electric rear window defog- ger switch
CAUTION The rear window defogger is not designed to melt snow. Remove any snow manually before using the rear window defogger. Use the rear window defogger only after the engine has started and is running. Be sure to turn the defogger switch off immediatelyafter the window is clear to save on battery power. Do not place stickers, tape, or other items that are attached with adhesive over the grid wires on the rear window. When cleaning the inside rear window, use a soft cloth and wipe lightly over the gridwires.NOTE
 The mist can also be removed from the out- side rearview mirrors when the rear windowdefogger switch is pressed. (Refer to “Door mirror heater” on page 5-57.)
