l If

your vehicle is equipped with heated mir-
rors, these operate in conjunction with the de-
mister. Refer to “Heated mirror” on page
4-11.
l The demister switch is not to melt snow but
to clear mist. Remove snow before use of the
demister switch.
l To avoid unnecessary discharge of the bat-
tery, do not use the rear window demister dur-
ing starting of the engine or when the engine
is not running. Turn the demister off immedi-
ately after the window is clear.
l When cleaning the inside of the rear win-
dow, use a soft cloth and wipe gently along
the heater wires, being careful not to damage
the wires.

Heated mirror* E00601200253
When the rear window demister switch (C) is press-
ed,

the outside rear-view mirrors are demisted or de-
frosted. Current will flow through the heater ele-
ment inside the mirrors, thus clearing away frost or
condensation. The indication lamp (D) will illuminate while the
demister

is on. The heater will be turned off auto-
matically in about 20 minutes.

If the warning lamp illuminates while
driving
E00607300663
If only the ABS warning lamp illuminates l Avoid
hard braking and high-speed driving.
Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
Restart the engine and check to see whether
the lamp goes out after a few minutes driv-
ing; if it then remains off during driving,
there is no problem.
However, if the lamp does not go out, or if it
lights up again when the vehicle is driven,
we recommend you to have the vehicle
checked as soon as possible.
l The 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, have the vehicle in-
spected.
If the ABS warning lamp and brake warning
lamp illuminate at the same time l The ABS and brake force distribution func-
tion may not work, so hard braking could
make the vehicle unstable.
Avoid hard braking and high-speed driving.
Stop the vehicle in a safe place and contact 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, you can feel the brake pedal pulsat-
ing.
This pulsation is due to the self-diagnosis op-
eration 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.
Front
Rear 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 7 km/h (4 mph). Starting and driving

2. Operate the hand pump (B) slowly 6 or 7
times in order to force the water out through
the drain plug (A). 3. Tighten
the drain plug (A) when water no lon-
ger comes out.
4. Bleed the air in the fuel system. (Refer to “Bleeding the fuel system” on page

5. Check to be sure that the fuel filter indication lamp illuminates when the ignition switch is
turned to “ON”, and that it goes off when the
engine is started. If in doubt, we recommend
you to consult a specialist for necessary infor-
mation. CAUTION
l
Do
not smoke or have any other open
flame near the vehicle while bleeding the
fuel system.
l Be sure to carefully clean away any water
drained out because any fuel mixed with
the water could ignite and cause a fire. Type 3

removing the spare wheel, put on
gloves. Removing the spare wheel with
your bare hands may cause injury to the
fingers. CAUTION
l
Check
the air pressure of the spare wheel
frequently and make sure it is ready for
emergency use at any time.
Driving with an insufficient tyre pressure
can lead to an accident. If you have no
choice but to drive with an insufficient
tyre pressure, keep your speed down and
inflate the tyre to the correct pressure as
soon as possible. (Refer to “Tyre inflation
pressures” on page 8-12.)
Maintaining the spare wheel at the high-
est specified air pressure will ensure that
it can always be used under any condi-
tions (city/high-speed driving, varying
load weight, etc.).
To remove 1. Set
the jack handle. (Club cab, Double cab
