E00502400017Brake warning lamp
E00502501637
This lamp illuminates whenthe ignition switch is turnedto the “ON” position, and goes off after a few seconds.
Always make sure that the
lamp goes off before driving.
With the ignition switch in the “ON” posi-
tion, the brake warning lamp illuminates un- der the following conditions:
l When the parking brake lever has been
engaged.
l When the brake fluid level in the reser-
voir falls to a low level.
l When the brake force distribution func-
tion is not operating correctly. (vehicles
with anti-lock brake system)CAUTIONl In the situations listed below, brake perform-
ance may be compromised or the vehicle
may become unstable if brakes are applied
suddenly; consequently, avoid driving at high speeds or applying the brakes suddenly.
Furthermore, immediately the vehicle should be brought to a stop in a safe location and to have it checked.
• The brake warning lamp does not illumi-
nate when the parking brake is applied ordoes not turn off when the parking brake is released.
• The ABS warning lamp and brake warn-
ing lamp illuminate at the same time.
For details, refer to “ABS warning lamp”
on page 6-46. (vehicles with anti-lock
brake system)
• The brake warning lamp remains illumi-
nated during driving.
l The vehicle should be brought to a halt in
the following manner when brake perform-
ance has deteriorated.
• Depress the brake pedal harder than usual.
Even if the brake pedal moves down to
the very end of its possible stroke, keep it
pressed down hard.CAUTION• Should the brakes fail, use engine braking
to reduce your speed and carefully pull the parking brake lever to park your vehi-
cle.
Depress the brake pedal to operate the
stop lamp to alert the vehicles behind you.Check engine warning lamp
E00502601944
This lamp is a part of an on-
board diagnostic system
which monitors the emis-
sions, engine and automatic transmission control sys-tems.
If a problem is detected in one of these sys- tems, this lamp illuminates.
Although your vehicle will usually be driva-
ble and not need towing, we recommend you
to have the system checked as soon as possi-
ble.

Parking brakeE00600501562
To park the vehicle, first bring it to a com- plete stop, fully engage the parking brake,
and then move the gearshift lever to 1 st
(on
an uphill) or Reverse (on a downhill) position for vehicles with manual transmission or set
the selector lever to “P” (PARK) position on automatic transmission vehicles.CAUTIONl Before driving, be sure that the parking
brake is fully released and brake warning
lamp is off.
If a vehicle is driven without releasing the
parking brake, the brake will be overheated, resulting in ineffective braking and possiblebrake failure.
l When you intend to apply the parking brake,
firmly press the brake pedal to bring the ve- hicle to a complete stop before pulling theparking brake lever. Pulling the parking brake lever with the vehicle moving could make the rear wheels lock up, thereby mak-
ing the vehicle unstable. It could also make
the parking brake malfunction.
l If the brake warning lamp does not extin-
guish when the parking brake is fully re-
leased, the brake system may be abnormal.
Have your vehicle checked immediately.
For details, refer to “Brake warning lamp” on page 5-08.Type 1
To apply
1- Firmly depress and hold the brake pedal,
then pull the lever up without pushing
the button at the end of hand grip.
To release
1- Firmly depress and hold the brake pedal, then pull the lever up slightly.
2- Push the button at the end of hand grip.
3- Lower the lever fully.
Type 2
To apply
1- Firmly depress and hold the brake pedal, then pull the lever out.

Parking on a hill
To prevent the vehicle from rolling, follow these procedures:
Parking on a downhill slope
Turn the front wheels towards the kerb andmove the vehicle forward until the kerb side wheel gently touches the kerb.
Set the parking brake and place the gearshift lever into the “R” (Reverse) position (with
M/T ) or the selector lever into the “P”
(PARK) position (with A/T).
If necessary, apply chocks to wheels.
Parking on an uphill slope
Turn the front wheels away from the kerb and move the vehicle back until the kerb side
wheel gently touches the kerb.
Set the parking brake and place the gearshift
lever into the 1 st
position (with M/T) or the
selector lever into the “P” (PARK) position (with A/T).
If necessary, apply chocks to wheels.
NOTEl If your vehicle is equipped with
A/T, be sure
to apply the parking brake before moving the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) posi-
tion. If you move the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position before applying theparking brake, it may be difficult to disen-
gage the selector lever from the “P” (PARK)
position when next you drive the vehicle, re- quiring application of a strong force to the selector lever to move from the “P” (PARK)
position.
Parking with the engine run-
ning
Never leave the engine running while you
take a short sleep/rest. Also, never leave the engine running in a closed or poorly ventila-
ted place.
WARNINGl Leaving the engine running risks injury
or death from accidentally moving the
gearshift lever (on M/T vehicles) or the se- lector lever (on A/T vehicles) or the accu-
mulation of toxic exhaust fumes in the
passenger compartment.

WARNINGlNever run the engine in a closed or poorly
ventilated area any longer than is needed
to move your vehicle in or out of the area. Carbon monoxide gases are odourless and can be fatal.CAUTIONl Never attempt to start the engine by pushing
or pulling the vehicle. Especially the auto-matic transmission, since the structure is dif-
ferent from a manual transmission, it is not possible to start the engine by using this
technique. Never attempt this or it could damage the automatic transmission.
l Do not run the engine at high rpm or drive
the vehicle at high speed until the engine has had a chance to warm up.
l Release the ignition key as soon as the en-
gine starts to avoid damaging the starter mo-
tor.
l Do not stop the engine immediately after
high-speed or uphill driving. First allow the
engine to idle to give the turbocharger a
chance to cool down.Starting the engine
E00601702223
1. Insert the ignition key and fasten the seat
belt.
2. Make sure the parking brake is applied.
3. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
4. On vehicles with manual transmission,
place the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral) position and depress the clutch
pedal all the way.
On vehicles with automatic transmis- sion, make sure the selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position.NOTEl On vehicles with automatic transmission, the
engine will not start if the selector lever is inany position other than “P” (PARK) or “N”
(NEUTRAL) position.
For safety, start the engine with the selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position because in
this position the rear wheels are locked in place.
5. Turn the ignition key to the “ON” posi-
tion.
The diesel preheat indication lamp will first illuminate, and then after a short
time go out, indicating that preheating is
completed.NOTEl If the engine is cold, the diesel preheat indi-
cation lamp is on for a longer time.
l When the engine has not been started within
about 5 seconds after the diesel preheat indi- cation lamp went out, return the ignition key
to the “LOCK” position. Then, turn the key
to the “ON” position to preheat the engine
again.
l When the engine is warm, the diesel preheat
indication lamp does not come on even if the
ignition key is placed in the “ON” position.
Start the engine by turning the ignition key
right to the “START” position.

6. Operate the accelerator pedal as descri-
bed below in accordance with the atmos- pheric temperature and/or engine condi-
tion and then start the engine.
l When the atmospheric temperature is
moderate or the engine is warm, start
the engine without depressing the ac-
celerator pedal.
l When the atmospheric temperature is
low and the engine is cold, start the
engine while depressing the accelera- tor pedal.

The lock button need not be pushed to
move the selector lever.WARNINGl If the lock button is always pushed to op-
erate the selector lever, the lever may beaccidentally shifted into the “P” (PARK)
or “R” (REVERSE) position. Be sure not to push the lock button when performing
the operations indicated by
in the illus-
tration.
l Always depress the brake pedal when
shifting the selector lever into a gear from the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL) po-sition.
When beginning to drive, do not shift the
selector lever from the “P” (PARK) or
“N” (NEUTRAL) position while depress-
ing the accelerator pedal, doing so is dan- gerous because the vehicle will “jump”
forward or backward.
When the selector lever cannot
be shifted from the “P” (PARK)
position
When the selector lever cannot be shifted from the “P” (PARK) position to another po-
sition while the brake pedal is pressed and
held down with the ignition switch at the
“ON” position, the battery may be flat or the shift-lock mechanism may be malfunction- ing.
Immediately have your vehicle checked by
an authorized MITSUBISHI MOTORS deal-
er.
If you need to move the vehicle, shift the se- lector lever as follows. 1. Make sure the parking brake is applied.
2. Stop the engine if it is running.
3. Depress the brake pedal with the right
foot.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the “ACC”
position.
5. Insert a straight blade (or minus) screw-
driver in the shiftlock release hole (A).
