NOTElIf the warning lamp illuminates, there may
be a fault on the unit. Have the vehicle
checked at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point.Lamp monitor buzzer
E00506101631
If the driver’s door is opened when the opera-
tion mode of the power switch is put in ACCor OFF with the lamps illuminated, a buzzer
will sound to remind the driver to turn off the
lamps.
The buzzer will automatically stop if the au- to-cutoff function is activated, the lamp switch is turned off, or the door is closed.
Daytime running lamps
E00530601226
The daytime running lamps come on when
the operation mode is ON and the lamp switch is in the “OFF” or “AUTO” position
and the tail lamps are off.
NOTEl If the lamp switch is in the “ ” or “
”
position, or if the tail lamps are on when the
lamp switch is in the “AUTO” position, the daytime running lamps come on as positionlamps.Dipper (High/Low beam
change)
E00506201557
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 fully (1). While the high-beam is on, the
high-beam indication lamp in the instrument
cluster will also illuminate.
Headlamp flasher
E00506300199
The high-beams flash when the lever is pulled slightly (2), and will go off when it is
released.
When the high-beam is on, the high-beam in- dication lamp in the instrument cluster will il-
luminate.
NOTEl The high-beams can also flash when the
lamp switch is OFF.
l If you turn the lamps off with the headlamps
set to high-beam, the headlamps are auto- matically returned to their low-beam setting
when the lamp switch is next turned to the
“
” position.
Automatic High-Beam (AHB)*
E00538200117
The Automatic High-Beam (AHB) switches
the headlamp beams (high/low) when the
sensor (A) senses an illuminant such as lights of a vehicle in front or oncoming vehicle or a
street lamp.

lIt is dark ahead of your vehicle.
l There are no vehicles in front or oncom-
ing vehicles, or none of their exterior
lamps are illuminated.
The low beam headlamps illuminate when any of the following conditions occur:
l Your vehicle speed does not exceed ap-
proximately 30 km/h (19 mph).
l It is bright ahead of your vehicle.
l An exterior lamp of a vehicle in front or
oncoming vehicle is illuminating.NOTEl The headlamps 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 ve-
hicle.
l The headlamps may remain at low beam (or
be switched from high-beam to low beam)
when a reflective object (e.g. street lamp,
traffic signal, noticeboard and signboard) re- flects light.
l Any of the following factors may influence
the headlamp beam switching timing:NOTE• How brightly the exterior lamps of a vehi-
cle in front or oncoming vehicle illumi-
nate.
• Movement or direction of a vehicle in
front or oncoming vehicle.
• Only right or left exterior lamp of a vehi-
cle in front or oncoming vehicle is illumi-
nating.
• A vehicle in front or oncoming vehicle is
a motorcycle.
• Road conditions (gradient, bends and road
surface).
• The number of occupants and luggage
load.
l The AHB recognises 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 headlamp
beams are switched automatically.
l The system may not detect a light vehicle
such as a bicycle.
l The system may not detect an ambient
brightness precisely. This causes the traffic to be dazzled by high-beam or the low beam to be maintained. In such cases, you should
switch the headlamp beams manually.
• In bad weather (heavy rain, fog, snow or
sandstorm).
• The windscreen is dirty or fogged up.
• The windscreen is cracked or broken.
• The sensor is deformed or dirty.
• A light that is similar to the headlamps or
tail lamps is shining around your vehicle.NOTE• A vehicle in front or oncoming vehicle is
driven without lights, the exterior lamps are dirty or discoloured, or the direction
of the headlamp beams is adjusted im- properly.
• It becomes dark and bright suddenly and
continuously around your vehicle.
• Your vehicle is driven on uneven surfa-
ces.
• Your vehicle is driven on a winding road.
• A reflective object such as a noticeboard
or a mirror reflects a light ahead of your vehicle.
• When lamps of the vehicle in front or
headlamps of an oncoming vehicle blend into the other lamps.
• The rear end of a vehicle in front (such as
a container truck) reflect a strong light.
• Your vehicle’s headlamp is broken or
dirty.
• Your vehicle is inclined due to a flat tyre
or towing.
• The warning display appears.
(Refer to “System problem warning” on
page 6-57.)

When doing this, be careful not to damagethe wheel speed sensors (A) and cables loca-ted at each wheel on vehicles equipped with an ABS.Electric power steering
system (EPS) E00629201294
The power steering system operates while thePlug-in Hybrid EV System is operating.
It helps reduce the effort needed to turn the steering wheel.
The power steering system has mechanical
steering capability in case the power assist is lost. If the power assist is lost for some rea-
son, you will still be able to steer your vehi-
cle, but you will notice it takes much more
effort to steer. If this happens, have your ve- hicle inspected at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.
WARNINGl Do not stop the Plug-in Hybrid EV Sys-
tem while the vehicle is moving. Stopping the Plug-in Hybrid EV System would
make the steering wheel extremely hard to turn, possibly resulting in an accident.NOTEl During repeated full-lock turning of the
steering wheel (for example, while you are manoeuvring the vehicle into a parking space), a protection function may be activa-
ted to prevent overheating of the power steering system. This function will make the
steering wheel gradually harder to turn. In
this event, limit your turning of the steering wheel for a while. When the system has
cooled down, the steering action will return to normal.
l If you turn the steering wheel while the vehi-
cle is stationary with the headlamps on, the
headlamps may become dim. This behaviour is not abnormal. The headlamps will returnto their original brightness after a shortwhile.Electric power steering system
warning display
If there is a malfunction in the system, the warning display will appear on the informa-
tion screen in the multi information display.
CAUTIONl If the warning display appears while the
Plug-in Hybrid EV System is operating,
have the vehicle inspected by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point as soon as possible.
It may become harder to turn the steering wheel.

CAUTIONlThere is a possibility to occur jerk, depend-
ing on a running resistance. Be careful.Adaptive Cruise Control
System (ACC)* E00634601300
The ACC maintains a set speed with no needfor you to use the accelerator pedal. Using a
sensor (A), the system also measures the rela- tive speed and distance between your vehicle
and a vehicle in front, and maintains a set fol- lowing distance between your vehicle and thevehicle in front by automatically decelerating
your vehicle if it becomes too close to the ve-
hicle in front.
The ACC is the driver assist system to make comfortable on a freeway. Stop lamps are il-luminated during automatic braking.
If you desire, a cruise control without inter-
vention of the following distance control is
also selectable.WARNINGl A driver is responsible for driving safely.
Even if the ACC is in use, always grasp the surrounding circumstances and pro- vide for safe driving.
l Never rely solely on the ACC. The ACC is
the system to reduce load on the driver.
The ACC is not a collision avoidance sys- tem or an automatic driving system. The
system is not intended to compensate for driver’s loss of attention to the front dur-
ing driving due to distraction or careless-
ness or supplement a drop in visibility due
to the rain and fog.
It is never a substitute for your safe and careful driving. Always be ready to apply
the brakes manually.WARNINGl This system may not correctly detect the
actual situation depending on the type of
vehicle in front and its conditions, the weather conditions, and the road condi-
tions.
Additionally, the system may be unable to decelerate sufficiently if the vehicle infront applies the brakes suddenly or an-
other vehicle cuts into your path, so your vehicle approaches the front vehicle.
Improper usage of this system or loss of attention to the front by the over-rely on
the ACC, may result in a serious accident.CAUTIONl In the following situations, the system may
become transiently unable to detect a vehicle in front or triggers its control and alarm
functions by detecting something other than a vehicle in front.
