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 exterior 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 are
dirty 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 5-197.)
 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.

 Always obey applicable laws and regula- tions. Be a polite and alert driver. Always leave room for unexpected events, such as sudden braking. If you plan to drive in another country, obey their vehicle registration laws and make sure you will be able to get the rightfuel.
N00629400445
 Check the battery. At the same time, check the terminals and wiring. Duringextremely cold weather, the battery will not be as strong. Also, the battery power level may drop because more power isused for cold starting and driving. Before driving the vehicle, check to see if the engine runs at the proper speed and ifthe headlights are as bright as normally. Charge or replace the battery if necessary. During extreme cold weather, it is possi-ble that a very low battery could freeze.
 Warm the engine sufficiently. After start- ing the engine, allow a short warm-up time to distribute oil to all cylinders. Then drive your vehicle slowly.Stay at low speeds at first so that the transaxle, transfer case and rear axle oil have time to spread to all lubricationpoints.  Check the engine antifreeze. If there is not enough coolant because of aleak or from engine overheating, addMitsubishi Motors Genuine Super Long Life Coolant Premium or equivalent. Please read this section in conjunctionwith the “Engine coolant” on page 9-7.

All the parts of the brake system are criticalto safety. Have the vehicle serviced by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice at regular inter-vals according to the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”.
Check the brake system while driving at a low speed immediately after starting, espe-cially when the brakes are wet, to confirm they work normally. A film of water can be formed on the brakediscs and prevent normal braking after driv- ing in heavy rain or through large puddles, or after the vehicle is wash
ed. If this occurs, dry
the brakes out by driving slowly while lightlydepressing the brake pedal. On snowy roads, ice can form on the braking system, making the brakes less effective. While driving in such conditions, pay close attention to surrounding vehicles and to thecondition of the road surface. From time to time, lightly depress the brake pedal and check how effective the brakes are. It is important to take advantage of the engine braking by downshifting while driving onsteep downhill roads in order to prevent the brakes from overheating.
Driving during cold weather
WA R N I N G The battery gives off explosive hydrogen gas. Any spark or flame can cause the bat-tery to explode, which could cause serious injury or death. Always wear protective clothes and a facemask when working with your battery, or let a skilled mechanic do it.
WA R N I N G Never open the radiator cap when the radiator is hot. You could be seriously burned.

Replacement of light bulbs
CAUTION Bulbs are extremely hot immediately after being turned off.When replacing a bulb, wait for it to cool sufficiently before touching it. You could otherwise be burned. Handle halogen light bulbs with care. The gas inside a halogen light bulb is highly pres-surized, so dropping, knocking, or scratching a halogen light bulb can cause it to shatter.
 Never hold a halogen light bulb with a bare hand, dirty glove, etc. The oil from your hand could cause the bulb to break the next time the headlights are used.If the glass surface is dirty, clean it with alcohol and let it dry completely before installing the bulb. Do not install commercially available LED type bulbs.Commercially available LED type bulbs could adversely affect the operation of the vehicle, such as by preventing the lights andother vehicle equipment from operating properly.NOTE
 If you are unsure of how to carry out the work as required, it is recommended that these procedures be carried out by an autho- rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repairfacility of your choice.CAUTION
 Be careful not to scratch the vehicle body when removing a light and lens.  When it rains, or when the vehicle has been washed, the inside of the lens sometimesbecomes temporarily foggy. This is the same phenomenon as when window glass mists up on a humid day, and does not indicate a func-tional problem. When the light is switched on, the heat will remove the fog. However, if water gathersinside the light, please have it checked by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
Bulb location and capacity
CAUTION When replacing a bulb, be sure to use a new bulb of the same type, wattage, and color.If you install a different bulb, the bulb could malfunction or fail to come on and could lead to a vehicle fire.NOTE
