Headlamps
Rotate the switch to turn on the lamps.
- All lamps off
- Position, tail, licence-plate, and in-
strument panel lamps on
- Headlamps on and other lamps go
on
NOTE
[Vehicles with Dim Dip]
When the ignition key is in the “ON” posi-
tion and the lamp switch is set to the
“ ” position, the low beam of the head-
lamp will illuminate dimly.
Dipper (High/Low beam change)
EE11B-Dd
When the lamp switch is in the “ ” posi-
tion, the beam changes from high to low
(or low to high) each time the lever is
pulled to (1). While the high beam is on,
the high beam indication lamp in the in-
strument cluster will also illuminate.
[Vehicles with Daytime Running Lamp]
When the ignition key is in the “ON” posi-
tion and the lamp switch is set to the “ ”
position, the low beam of the headlamps,
tail lamps, etc., will illuminate.
Lamp monitor system
If the driver’s door is opened when the key
is in the “LOCK” or “ACC” position or re-
moved from the ignition switch with the
lamp switch in the “ ” or “ ” position,
a buzzer will sound to remind the driver to
turn off the lamps.
Turn of the lamp switch, and the buzzer
will stop.
NOTE
(1) Do not leave the headlamps and
other lamps on for too long while the
engine is stationary. A run-down bat-
tery could result.
(2) When it rains, or when the vehicle has
been washed, the inside of the lens
sometimes becomes foggy. This is the
same phenomenon as when window
glass mists up on a humid day, and
does not indicate a functional prob-
lem. When the lamp is switched on,
the heat will remove the fog. However,
if water gathers inside the lamp,
please go to an authorized MIT-
SUBISHI dealer for a check.

INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
4-13 Headlamp flasher
EE11C-Fb
The headlamps flash when the lever is
pulled slightly to (2), and will go off when it
is released.
When the high beam is on, the high beam
indication lamp in the instrument cluster
will also illuminate.
NOTE
The headlamps can also flash when the
lamp switch is OFF.
Turn/lane-change signalsEE11D-Ag
The turn-signal lamps flash when the
switch is operated (with the ignition switch
“ON”). At the same time, the turn-signal
indicator flashes.
1 - Turn-signals
When making a normal turn, use posi-
tion (1). The lever will return automat-
ically when cornering is completed.
There are times when the lever will
not return after cornering. This occurs
when the steering wheel is turned
only slightly. In such cases, return the
lever by hand.
2 - Lane-change signals
When changing lanes, use position
(2). It will return to the neutral position
when released.NOTE
If the lamp flashes unusually quickly, the
bulb in a turn-signal lamp may have failed.
Have the vehicle inspected by an autho-
rized MITSUBISHI dealer.

Headlamp levelling switch*
EE01GPDc
The angle of the headlamp beam varies
depending upon the load carried by the
vehicle.
The headlamp levelling switch can be
used to adjust the headlamp illumination
distance (when the lower beam is illumin-
ated) so that the headlamps’ glare does
not distract the drivers of approaching ve-
hicles.
Set the switch (referring to the following
table) to the appropriate position accord-
ing to the number of people and the load
in the vehicle.Single cab

Headlamp washer switch*
EE02A-La
The headlamp washer can be operated
with the ignition switch “ON” position and
the lamp switch at “ ” or “ ” position.
1 - Push the button once and the washer
fluid will be sprayed on to the head-
lamps for about 0.5 second.
NOTE
Check the headlamp washers periodically
to confirm that the washer fluid is being
sprayed properly on to the headlamp
lenses.
Precautions to observe when
using wipers and washers
EE13C-Af
(1) If the moving wipers become blocked
by ice or other deposits on the glass,
the motor may burn out even if the
wiper switch is turned to OFF. If ob-
struction occurs, park your vehicle in
a safe place, turn off the ignition, and
clean the deposits from the glass so
that the wipers operate smoothly.
(2) Do not use the wipers when the glass
is dry. They may scratch the glass
surface or the blades may prema-
turely wear out.
(3)
Before using the wipers in cold
weather, check that the wiper blades
are not frozen onto the glass. The mo-
tor may burn out if the wipers are used
with the blades frozen onto the glass.
(4) Avoid using the washer continuously
for more than 20 seconds. Do not
operate the washer when the fluid
reservoir is empty.
Otherwise, the motor may burn out.
(5) Periodically check the level of washer
fluid in the reservoir and refill if required
During cold weather, add a recom-
mended washer solution that will not
freeze in the washer reservoir. Failure
to do so could result in loss of washer
function and frost damage to the sys-
tem components.
(6) If the washer is used in cold weather,
the washer fluid sprayed against the
glass may freeze resulting in poor vis-
ibility. Heat the glass with the
defroster or demister before using the
washer.

INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
4-19
Refer to “Electric remote-controlled out-
side rear-view mirrors” on page 5-38.
CAUTION(1) The demister switch is not for
melting snow but for cleaning
mist. Remove snow before us-
ing the demister switch.
(2) To avoid unnecessary battery
discharge, do not use the rear
window demister during starting
of the engine or when the engine
is not running. Turn the demist-
er off immediately after the win-
dow is clear.
(3) When cleaning the inside of the
rear window, use a soft cloth
and wipe gently along the heater
wires, being careful not to dam-
age the wires.
(4) Do not allow objects to touch
the inside of the rear window
glass, damaged or broken wires
may result.
Rear fog lamp switch*EE08B-Ma
The rear fog lamp can only be operated
when the headlamps turn on.
1 - Rear fog lamp on.
2 - Rear fog lamp off.
The indication lamp in the instrument clus-
ter will illuminate while the rear fog lamp is
on.NOTE
(1) The rear fog lamp is automatically
turned off when the headlamp is
turned off.
(2) In case of vehicles with Daytime Run-
ning Lamp, the front fog lamp can be
operated even if the lamp switch is set
to the “ ” (OFF) position, because
the low beam of the headlamps, tail
lamps, etc. illuminate when the igni-
tion key is at the “ON” position.
(3) The rear fog lamp is installed only on
the driver’s side.
