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.

For a safer and more enjoyable trip, always check for the following:  Before starting the vehicle, make certain that you and all passengers are seated and wearing their seat belts properly (with children in the rear seat, in appropriaterestraints), and that all the doors and the liftgate are locked.  Move the driver’s seat as far backward as possible, while keeping good visibility, and good control of the steering wheel, brakes, accelerator, and controls. Checkthe instrument panel indicators and multi- information display for any possible prob- lem. Similarly, the front passenger seat should also be moved as far back as possible.  Make sure that infants and small children are properly restrained in accordance with all laws and regulations.
Check these by selecting the defroster mode, and set the blower switch on high. You shouldbe able to feel the air blowing against the windshield. Refer to “Defrosting or defogging (wind-shield, door windows)” on page 7-13, 7-22. Check all the tires for heavy tread wear or uneven wear patterns. Look for stones, nails,glass, or other objects stuck in the tread. Look for any tread cuts or sidewall cracks. Check the wheel nuts for tightness, and the tires(including spare tire) for proper pressure. Replace your tires before they are heavily worn out.As your vehicle is equipped with a tire pres- sure monitoring system, there is a risk of damage to the tire inflation pressure sensorswhen the tire is replaced on the rim. Tire replacement should, only, be performed by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. Have someone watch while you turn all the exterior lights on and off. Also check the turn
signal indicators and high-beam indicators on the instrument panel. Check the ground under the vehicle after parking overnight, for fuel, water, oil, or other leaks. Make sure all the fluid levels are correct. Also, if you can smell fuel, you needto find out why immediately and have itfixed.
N00629201147
Even this vehicle’s safety equipment, andyour safest driving, cannot guarantee that you can avoid an accident or injury. However, if you give extra attention to the followingareas, you can better protect yourself and your passengers:  Drive defensively. Be aware of traffic, road and weather conditions. Leave plentyof stopping distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead.  Before changing lanes, check your mir- rors, blind spots, and use your turn signal light.  While driving, watch the behavior of other drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians.

N00939700141
The following maintenance steps are recom- mended:  Check tire pressures regularly.  Have regular maintenance done on the wheel balance and front and rear suspen-sion alignment.
 Rotate your tires regularly as described in the “Tire rotation” section on page 9-17.
N00939800184
Tread wear indicators are built into the origi- nal equipment tires on your vehicle to help you know when your tires should be replaced.Many states have laws requiring that you replace your tires at this point. These indicators are molded into the bottomof the tread grooves and will appear when the tire tread is worn down to 1/16 inch (1.6 mm).When the bands appear next to one another in two or more places, replace your tires.
N00939901560
To even out the wear on your tires and make them last longer, Mitsubishi Motors Corpora-tion recommends that you rotate your tires at the mileage listed in the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”.However, the timing for tire rotation may vary according to your vehicle condition, road surface conditions, and your own per-sonal driving habits. Any time you notice unusual wear, rotate your tires as soon as pos- sible. When rotating tires, check for uneven wear, damage, and wheel alignment. Abnormal wear is usually caused by a wrong tire pres- sure, wheels that are not aligned properly,wheels that are out-of-balance, or severe braking. Check with an authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer or a repair faci
lity of your choice to
find out the reason for uneven tread wear. The first tire rotation is the most important one. It will allow all your tires to wear evenly.
 Only Mitsubishi Motors Authorized wheels should be used, because your vehicle is equipped with a tire pressure monitoring sys- tem. Use of another type of wheel risks air leaksand sensor damage, as it will not be possible to install the tire pressure sensor properly.NOTE
 On vehicles with Electric parking brake, 16 inch steel wheels cannot be used on yourvehicle because they interfere with brake parts. Additionally, 16 inch aluminum wheels maynot be used on your vehicle depending on the type, even if they are Mitsubishi Motors Genuine wheels.Consult an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer with specific questions on wheels that can be used on your vehicle.
