To adjust the elevation
It is possible to adjust the currently indicated eleva-
tion using the following function buttons:
“+”- Adjustment of elevation
The elevation increases
by 50 m
(200 ft) every time you lightly push
the “+” button.
If you continue pressing the button
for about 2 seconds or more, the ele-
vation indication is fast-forwarded.
Then the setting is changed to the el-
evation selected.
“-”- Adjustment of elevation The elevation decreases
by 50 m
(200 ft) every time you lightly push
the “-” button.
If you continue pressing the button
for about 2 seconds or more, the ele-
vation indication is fast-forwarded.
Then the setting is changed to the el-
evation selected. NOTE
l The
elevation is

determined from changes in
atmospheric pressure. Depending on weather
conditions, the indicated elevation may differ
from the actual elevation. Variations in atmos-
pheric pressure can cause different elevations
to be shown even in the same location. This
behavior does not indicate a fault. Use the in-
dication as a guide only.
Resetting the elevation
Press the “RESET” function button to reset the ele-
vation plotted in graph. NOTE
l Pressing
the “RESET”

function button will
not reset the indication (C).

CAUTION
l
With the ignition switch in the “ON” posi-
tion and the lever in the “AUTO” posi-
tion, the wipers may automatically oper-
ate in the situations described below.
If your hands get trapped, you could suf-
fer injuries or the wipers could malfunc-
tion. Be sure to turn the ignition switch to
the “OFF” position or move the lever to
the “OFF” position to deactivate the rain
sensor. • When cleaning the outside surface ofthe windscreen, if you touch the rain
sensor.
• When cleaning the outside surface of the windscreen, if you wipe with a
cloth the rain sensor.
• When using an automatic car wash.
• A physical shock is applied to the wind- screen.
• A physical shock is applied to the rain sensor.
NOTE l To
protect the

rubber parts of the wipers, this
operation of the wipers does not take place
when the vehicle is stationary and the ambi-
ent temperature is about 0 °C or lower.
l Do not cover the sensor by affixing a sticker
or label to the windscreen. Also, do not put
any water-repellent coating on the wind-
screen. The rain sensor would not be able to
detect the extent of rain, and the wipers
might stop working normally. l
In the
following
cases, the rain sensor may
be malfunctioning.
Have the vehicle inspected at a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point. • When the wipers operate at a constant in-terval despite changes in the extent of rain.
• When the wipers do not operate even though it is raining.
l The wipers may automatically operate when
things such as insects or foreign objects are
affixed to the windscreen on top of the rain
sensor or when the windscreen is frozen. Ob-
jects affixed to the windscreen will stop the
wipers when the wipers cannot remove them.
To make the wipers operate again, place the
lever in the “LO” or “HI” position.
Also, the wipers may operate automatically
due to strong direct sunlight or electromag-
netic wave. To stop the wipers, place the lev-
er in the “OFF” position.
l Contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point when replacing the wind-
screen or reinforcing the glass around the sen-
sor. To adjust the sensitivity of the rain sensor
With the
lever
in the “AUTO” (rain sensor) posi-
tion, it is possible to adjust the sensitivity of the
rain sensor by turning the knob (A). “+”- Higher sensitivity to rain
“-”- Lower sensitivity to rain
NOTE 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. • Automatic operation (rain droplet sensi-tive) can be changed to intermittent oper-
ation (vehicle-speed sensitive).
• Automatic operation (rain droplet sensi- tive) can be changed to intermittent oper-
ation (except vehicle-speed sensitive).
Misting function
Move the lever in the direction of the arrow and re-
lease, to operate the wipers once.
Use this function when you are driving in mist or
drizzle. Instruments and controls

Economical driving
E00600100561
For economical driving,
there are some technical re-
quirements that have to be met. The prerequisite
for low fuel consumption is a properly adjusted en-
gine. In order to achieve longer life of the vehicle
and the most economical operation, we recommend
you to have the vehicle checked at regular intervals
in accordance with the service standards.
Fuel economy and generation of exhaust gas and
noise are highly influenced by personal driving hab-
its as well as the particular operating conditions.
The following points should be observed in order
to minimize wear of brakes, tyres and engine as
well as to reduce environmental pollution.
Starting
Avoid rapid acceleration and sudden starts; such op-
eration will result in higher fuel consumption.
Shifting
Shift only at an appropriate speed and engine
speed. Always use the highest gear possible.
The transfer shift lever should be set to “2H” when
driving on normal roads and express ways to obtain
best possible fuel economy.
City traffic
Frequent starting and stopping increases the aver-
age fuel consumption. Use roads with smooth traf-
fic flow whenever possible. When driving on con-
gested roads, avoid use of a low gear at high en-
gine speeds.
Idling
The vehicle consumes fuel even during idling.
Avoid extended idling whenever possible. Speed
At higher
vehicle
speed, more fuel is consumed.
Avoid driving at full speed. Even a slight release of
the accelerator pedal will save a significant amount
of fuel.
Tyre inflation pressure
Check the tyre inflation pressures at regular inter-
vals. Low tyre inflation pressure increases road re-
sistance and fuel consumption. In addition, low
tyre pressures adversely affect tyre wear and driv-
ing stability.
Load
Do not drive with unnecessary articles in the lug-
gage compartment. Especially during city driving
where frequent starting and stopping is necessary,
the increased weight of the vehicle will greatly af-
fect fuel consumption. Also avoid driving with un-
necessary luggage or carriers, etc., on the roof; the
increased air resistance will increase fuel consump-
tion.
Cold engine starting
Starting of a cold engine consumes more fuel.
Unnecessary fuel consumption is also caused by
keeping a hot engine running. After the engine is
started, commence driving as soon as possible.
Air conditioning
The use of the air conditioning will increase the
fuel consumption. Driving, alcohol and drugs
E00600200067
Driving after drinking
alcohol is one of the most fre-
quent causes of accidents.
Your driving ability can be seriously impaired even
with blood alcohol levels far below the legal mini-
mum. If you have been drinking, don’t drive. Ride
with a designated non-drinking driver, call a cab or
a friend, or use public transportation. Drinking cof-
fee or taking a cold shower will not make you sober.
Similarly, prescription and nonprescription drugs af-
fect your alertness, perception and reaction time.
Consult with your doctor or pharmacist before driv-
ing while under the influence of any of these medi-
cations. WARNING
l NEVER DRINK AND DRIVE.
Your perceptions
are

less accurate, your
reflexes are slower and your judgment is
impaired. Starting and driving
