Combined switch for low and high beam headlights (Mitsubishi L200 4)

Headlights

The headlights are turned on by turning the switch handle.

Note:

• Do not leave the low beam headlights or other lights on for long periods of time when the engine is not running. This may cause the battery to discharge.
• During rain or after washing the car, fogging of the headlights may occur. This phenomenon has the same causes as fogging of window panes in wet weather and is not a sign of malfunction. When the headlights are turned on, the moisture will evaporate from the heat. However, if water accumulates inside the headlights, it is recommended to check them.

Buzzer to warn when the light is on

If the driver's door is opened while the headlights are on and the ignition key is in the LOCK or ACC position or removed from the ignition, a buzzer will sound to warn the driver that the headlights are on. When the automatic headlight off function is activated, the buzzer will automatically turn off. If this function is not activated, the headlights must be turned off to turn off the buzzer.

Headlight high/low beam switch

If the light switch is in the position, switching from high beam to low beam (and vice versa) is done by moving the lever to position (1). When the high beam headlights are switched on, the corresponding light indicator in the instrument cluster lights up.

Flashing high beam headlights

The high beam headlights are switched on when the lever is moved to position (2) and switched off when the lever is released.

When the high beam is switched on, the high beam indicator light in the instrument cluster also comes on.

Note:

• Flashing the high beam headlights is also possible if the light switch is in the OFF position.
• If you turn off the headlights while the high beam headlights are on, the headlights will automatically switch to low beam the next time you return the light switch to this position.
