Headlight leveling switch
(if so equipped)
N00537100088
The direction of the headlight beam (the direction in which the
light shines) alters according to the number of people and the
load in the vehicle. Lower the headlight angle if it is too high
due to the number of people and/or the load in the vehicle so
that the headlights’ glare does not distract the drivers of
approaching vehicles. First set the combination headlights and
dimmer switch to the “ ” position, then turn the headlight
leveling switch knob to lower the beam. The greater the num-
ber on the headlight leveling switch knob, the lower the beam
will point.
Set the switch to the appropriate position so that the headlight
beam is level with the road.

NOTE
Start adjusting when the knob is at the “0” position (when
the beam is at its highest).

Keep the knob in the “0” position except when using the
knob to lower the headlight beam angle.

Always return the knob to the “0” position when the load
is removed and the people have left the vehicle.
Turn signal lever
N00522600421
When changing lanes, or to making a gradual turn, hold the
lever in the “lane change” position (1). It will return to the neu-
tral position when you let go. Use the full position (2) when
making a normal turn. The lever will return to the neutral posi-
tion when the turn is complete. There may be times when the
lever does not return to the neutral position. This usually hap-
pens when the steering wheel is turned only slightly. You can
easily return the lever by hand.
Also, when you move the lever to (1) slightly then release it,
the turn signal lights and indicator light in the instrument clus-
ter will flash three times.

If the combination headlights and dimmer switch is
rotated to the “OFF” or “ ” position while the front fog
lights are illuminated, they will automatically turn off.

nation headlights and dimmer switch back to “ ” posi-
tion, and turning the knob in the direction of the “ON”

4-4 Driving safety

Defrosters Check these by selecting the defroster mode, and set the blower
switch on high. You should be able to feel the air blowing
against the windshield.
(Refer to “Defrosting or defogging the windshield and door
windows” on page 5-10, 5-20, 5-29, 5-39, 5-49.)Tires Check all the tires for heavy tread wear or uneven wear pat-
terns. 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 pressures. Replace your tires before they are heavily
worn out.
As your vehicle is equipped with a tire pressure monitoring
system, there is a risk of damage to the tire inflation pressure
sensors when the tire is replaced on the rim. Tire replacement
should, therefore, be performed only by an authorized Mitsub-
ishi Motors dealer.Lights 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. Fluid leaks 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 need to find out why
immediately and have it fixed.
Safe driving techniques
N00629200111
Even this vehicle’s safety equipment, and your safest driving,
cannot guarantee that you can avoid an accident or injury.
However, if you give extra attention to the following areas, you
can better protect yourself and your passengers:

Drive defensively. Be aware of traffic, road and weather
conditions. Leave plenty of stopping distance between
your vehicle and the vehicle ahead.

Before changing lanes, check your mirrors and use your
turn signal light.

While driving, watch the behavior of other drivers, bicy-
clists, and pedestrians.

Always obey applicable laws and regulations. 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
right fuel.
