Hazard warning indication lamps
E00501700185
These indication lamps blink
on and off when a turn-sig-
nal lamp is operating.
NOTEl If the blinking is too fast, the cause may be a
blown lamp bulb or a faulty turn-signal con-
nection.
When the hazard warning lamp switch is
pressed, all turn-signal lamps will flash on and off continuously.
High-beam indication lamp
E00501800115
This indication lamp illumi-
nates when the high-beam is used.

E00501900347
This indication lamp illumi-
nates while the front fog
lamps are on.
Rear fog lamp indication lamp
E00502000114
This indication lamp illumi-
nates while the rear fog lamp is on.
Diesel preheat indication lamp
E00502300250
This indication lamp illumi-
nates when the ignition switch is placed in the “ON”
position. As the glow plug becomes hot, the lamp goes
out and the engine can be
started.
CAUTIONl If the diesel preheat indication lamp comes
on after the engine is started, the engine speed may not rise above the idling speedbecause of fuel freezing. In this case, keep
the engine idling for about ten minutes, then turn off the ignition switch and immediately
turn it on again to confirm that the diesel
preheat indication lamp is off.NOTEl If the engine is cold, the diesel preheat indi-
cation lamp is on for a longer time.
l When the engine has not been started within
about 5 seconds after the diesel preheat indi- cation lamp went out, return the ignition
switch to the “LOCK” position. Then, turn
the switch to the “ON” position to preheat the engine again.
l When the engine is warm, the diesel preheat
indication lamp does not come on even if the
ignition switch is placed in the “ON” posi-
tion.

NOTElIf the lamp flashes unusually quickly, the
bulb in a turn-signal lamp may have burned out. We recommend you to have the vehicle
inspected.
l It is possible to activate the following func-
tions. For further information, we recom-
mend you to consult a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
• Flashing of the turn-signal lamps and the
indication lamp in the instrument clusterwhen the lever is operated with the igni-
tion switch in the “ACC” position
• Flashing of the turn-signal lamps and the
indication lamp in the instrument cluster three times when you move the lever to (2) slightly then release it
• The time required to operate the lever for
the 3-flash function can be adjusted.Hazard warning flasher
switch E00506602066
Use the hazard warning flasher switch when
the vehicle has to be parked on the road for
any emergency.
The hazard warning flashers can always be operated, regardless of the position of the ig-
nition key.

Push the switch to turn on the hazard warning
flashers; push the switch again to turn them off.
When this switch is operated, all turn-signal
lamps flash continuously, as do the turn-sig- nal indication lamps in the instrument cluster.NOTEl If the lamps are kept flashing for a long
time, the battery will be discharged, result-
ing in hard engine starting or no start condi- tion.
l If the lamp flashes unusually quickly, the
bulb in a turn-signal lamp may have burned
out.
We recommend you to have the vehicle in- spected.Front fog lamp switch*
E00506800934
The front fog lamps can be used only when the headlamps or tail lamps are on. Turn the knob once in the “ON” direction to turn on
the front fog lamps. The indication lamp in
the instrument cluster will also come on. To turn the front fog lamps off, turn the knobonce in the “OFF” direction. While the rear fog lamp is on, turn the knob twice in the
“OFF” direction to turn the front fog lamps off. The knob will automatically return to its
original position when you release it.

Crossing a stream
4-wheel drive vehicles are not necessarilywaterproof. If the electrical circuits become
wet, further operation of the vehicle will be impossible; therefore, avoid crossing streams
unless absolutely necessary. If crossing a stream is unavoidable, use the following pro-
cedure: 1. Check depths of a stream and geographi-
cal features before attempting to cross a stream and ford the stream where the
water is as shallow as practicable.
2. Set the transfer shift lever to “4L” posi-
tion (easy select 4WD), “4LLc” position (super select 4WD).
3. Drive slowly at a speed of approximate-
ly 5 km/h (3 mph) to avoid splashing too
much water.
CAUTIONl Never cross a stream where the water is
deep.
Do not change gears while crossing the stream.
Frequent crossing of streams can adversely
affect the life span of the vehicle; we recom- mend you to take the necessary measures toprepare, inspect, and repair the vehicle.After crossing a stream, apply the brakes to
be sure they are functioning properly. If the
brakes are wet and not functioning properly,
dry them out by driving slowly while lightly depressing the brake pedal.
Inspect each part of the vehicle carefully.Inspection and maintenance
following rough roadoperation E00606700048
After operating the vehicle in rough road
conditions, be sure to perform the following inspection and maintenance procedures:
l Check that the vehicle has not been dam-
aged by rocks, gravel, etc.
l Carefully wash the vehicle with water.
After washing, drive the vehicle slowly
while lightly depressing the brake pedal in order to dry out the brakes. If the brakes still do not function properly, we
recommend you to have the brakes
checked as soon as possible.
l Remove the insects, dried grass, etc.
clogging the radiator core.
l After crossing a stream, be sure to have
the following items inspected at a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point and take the necessary
measures.
• Check the brake system and, if neces-
sary, have it serviced.
• Check the engine, transmission, trans-
fer, and differential oil or grease level
and turbidity. If the oil or grease is
milky, it indicates water contamina-
tion. Replace it with new oil or grease.
• Grease the propeller shaft.
• Check the inside of the vehicle. If in-
gress of water is found, dry the carpetetc.
• Inspect the headlamps. If the head-
lamp bulb is flooded with water, we
recommend you to have it drained.Cautions on handling of 4-
wheel drive vehicles E00606800368
Tyres and wheels
Since the driving torque can be applied to the
4 wheels, the performance of the vehicle when operating in 4-wheel drive is greatly af- fected by the condition of the tyres.

Pay close attention to the tyres.
l Install specified tyres on all wheels. Re-
fer to “Tyres and wheels” on page
11-19.

WARNINGlIf you see a suspicious fuel leak or if you
smell fuel, do not operate the vehicle; werecommend you to call for assistance.
Exterior and interior lamp op-
eration
Operate the combination lamp switch to
check that all lamps are functioning properly.
If the lamps do not illuminate, the probable cause is a blown fuse or defective lamp bulb.
Check the fuses first. If there is no blown
fuses, check the lamp bulbs.
For information regarding the inspection and
replacement of the fuses and the lamp bulbs, refer to “Fuses” on page 10-20 and “Re-
placement of lamp bulbs” on page 10-25.
If the fuses and bulbs are all OK, we recom- mend you to have your vehicle checked and
repaired.
Meter, gauge and indicator/warning lamps operation
Run the engine to check the operation of all meters, gauges, and indicator/warning lamps.
If there is anything wrong, we recommend you to have your vehicle inspected.
Hinges and latches lubrication
Check all latches and hinges, and lubricate if
necessary by first cleaning and then applying
multipurpose grease.
For cold and snowy weather
E01002800257
Ventilation slots
The ventilation slots in front of the wind-
screen should be kept clear of leaves or brushed clear after heavy snowfall, so that
the operation of the heating and ventilation
systems will not be impaired.
Weatherstripping
To prevent freezing of the weatherstripping
on the doors, bonnet, etc., they should be treated with silicone grease or spray.
Additional equipment
It is a good idea to carry a shovel or a short- handled spade in the vehicle during the win-ter so that you can clear away snow if you get
stranded. A small hand-brush for sweeping snow off the vehicle and a plastic scraper for
the windscreen and rear window are also use- ful.
Fusible links
E01002900030
The fusible links will melt to prevent a fire if
a large current attempts to flow through cer- tain electrical systems.
In case of a melted fusible link, we recom- mend you to have your vehicle inspected.Fuses
E01003000849Fuse block location
E01007600032
To prevent damage to the electrical systemdue to shortcircuiting or overloading, each in-dividual circuit is provided with a fuse.
There are fuse blocks in the passenger com- partment and in the engine compartment.

Replacement of lamp bulbsE01003100710
Before replacing a bulb, ensure the lamp is off. Do not touch the glass part of the new
bulb with your bare fingers; the skin oil left
on the glass will evaporate when the bulb gets hot and the vapour will condense on the
reflector and dim the surface.CAUTIONl Bulbs are extremely hot immediately after
being turned off.
When replacing a bulb, wait for it to cool sufficiently before touching it. You couldotherwise be burnt.NOTEl If you are unsure of how to carry out the
work as required, we recommend you to consult a specialist.
l Be careful not to scratch the vehicle body
when removing a lamp or lens.
l When it rains or when the vehicle has been
washed, the inside of the lens sometimes be-
comes 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 gath-
ers inside the lamp, we recommend you to have the lamp checked.Bulb capacity
E01003200085
When replacing a bulb, use a new bulb with
the same wattage and colour.
