l When
taking a key on flights, do not
press any switches on the key while on
the plane. If a switch is pressed on the
plane, the key emits electromagnetic
waves, which could adversely affect the
plane’s flight operation.
When carrying a key in a bag, be careful
that no switches on the key can be easily
pressed by mistake. NOTE
l The

key number is stamped on the tag as in-
dicated in the illustration.
Make a record of the key number and store
the key and key number tag in separate pla-
ces, so that you can order a key in the event
the original keys are lost.
l The key is a precision electronic device with
a built-in signal transmitter. Please observe
the following in order to prevent a malfunc-
tion.
• Do not leave in a place that is exposed todirect sunlight, for example on the dash-
board.
• Do not disassemble or modify.
• Do not excessively bend the key or sub- ject it to strong impacts.
• Do not expose to water.
• Keep away from magnetic key rings.
• Keep away from audio systems, personal computers, TVs, and other equipment
that generates a magnetic field.
• Keep away from devices that emit strong electromagnetic waves, such as cellular
phones, wireless devices and high frequen-
cy equipment (including medical devices).
• Do not clean with ultrasonic cleaners or similar equipment.
• Do not leave the key where it may be ex- posed to high temperature or high humid-
ity.
l The engine is designed so that it will not
start if the ID code registered in the immobil-
izer computer and the key’s ID code do not
match. Refer to the “Electronic immobilizer”
section for details and key usage.

Oil pressure warning display
E00524900214
Type 1 Type 2
If the engine oil pressure drops while the engine is
running,
the warning display is displayed on the in-
formation screen in the multi-information display. CAUTION
l
If
the vehicle is driven while the engine
oil is low, or the oil level is normal but the
warning is displayed, the engine may
burn out and be damaged.
l If the warning is displayed while the en-
gine is running, immediately park your ve-
hicle in a safe place and check the engine
oil level.
l If the warning is displayed while the en-
gine oil level is normal, have it inspected. Engine oil level warning display*
E00526700072
Type 1 Type 2
When the ignition switch or the operation mode is
in ON, if it is suspected that the engine oil level has
increased

excessively, the warning display is dis-
played on the information screen in the multi-infor-
mation display. CAUTION
l
If
this warning is displayed while driving,
stop the vehicle in a safe place, turn off
the engine, and check the engine oil level.
Refer to “Engine oil” on page 8-04.
NOTE l Immediately

have your vehicle checked by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point. Combination headlamps and

Headlamps
NOTE l When

entering a country in which vehicles
are driven on the opposite side of the road to
the country in which your vehicles is sup-
plied, necessary measures have to be taken to
avoid dazzling oncoming traffic. However,
headlamps on this vehicle do not need any ad-
justment.
l Do not leave the lights on for a long time
while the engine is stationary (not running).
A rundown battery could result.
l When it rains, or when the vehicle has been
washed, the inside of the lens sometimes be-
comes foggy, but this does not indicate a func-
tional problem.
When the lamp is switched on, the heat will
remove the fog. However, if water gathers in-
side the lamp, we recommend you to have it
checked. Instruments and controls

CAUTION
l
Concentrations exceeding 60 % will re-
sult in a reduction of both the anti-freeze
and cooling performance thus adversely
affecting the engine.
l Do not top up with water only.
Water by itself reduces the rust-protec-
tive and anti-freeze qualities of the cool-
ant and has a lower boiling point. It can
also cause damage to the cooling system if
it should freeze. Do not use tapwater, as it
can cause corrosion and rust formation.
During cold weather
If
the temperatures in your area drop below freez-
ing, there is the danger that the coolant in the en-
gine or radiator could freeze and cause severe dam-
age to the engine and/or radiator. Add a sufficient
amount of anti-freeze to the coolant to prevent it
from freezing.
The concentration should be checked before the
start of cold weather and anti-freeze added to the
system if necessary. Washer fluid
E01000700832
Open

the washer fluid reservoir cap and check the
level of washer fluid with the dipstick.
If the level is low, replenish the container with wash-
er fluid.
EMPTY
FULL NOTE
l The

washer fluid container serves the wind-
screen, rear window and headlamps (if so
equipped).
During cold weather
To ensure proper operation of the washers at low
temperatures, use a fluid containing an anti-freez-
ing agent. Brake fluid/Clutch fluid*
E01000800631
The

brake fluid and the clutch fluid share the reser-
voir tank.
To check the fluid level
The fluid level must be between the “MAX” and
“MIN” marks on the reservoir. The fluid level is monitored by a float. When the
fluid

level falls below the “MIN” mark, the brake
fluid warning lamp lights up.
The fluid level falls slightly with wear of the brake
pads, but this does not indicate any abnormality.

The fluid in the master cylinder should be checked
when doing other work under the bonnet. The
brake system should also be checked for leakage at
the same time.
If the fluid level falls markedly in a short length of
time, it indicates leaks from the brake system.
If this occurs, we recommend you to have the vehi-
cle checked. Maintenance
