This lamp illuminates when
the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode is put in ON,
and goes off after a few sec- onds.
Always make sure that the lamp goes off be- fore driving.
With the ignition switch or the operation mode in ON, the brake warning lamp illumi-
nates under the following conditions:
z When the parking brake lever has been
engaged.
z When the brake fluid level in the reser-
voir falls to a low level.
z When the brake force distribution func-
tion is not operating correctly.

With the ignition switch or the operation
mode in ON, a buzzer sounds under the fol- lowing condition:
z The vehicle speed exceeds 8 km/h
(5 mph) with the parking brake applied.CAUT,ONz 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, the vehicle should be brought
to a stop in a safe location and to have it checked.

Check engine warning lamp
This lamp is a part of an on-
board diagnostic system which monitors the emis-
sions, engine control system, SCR system or A/T control
system.
If a problem is detected in one of these sys- tems, this lamp illuminates or flashes.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.
This lamp will also illuminate when the igni- tion switch is turned “ON” or the operation
mode is put in ON, and goes off after the en- gine has started. If it does not go off after the
engine has started, we recommend you to have the vehicle checked.
CAUT,ONz Prolonged driving with this lamp on may
cause further damage to the emission control
system. It could also affect fuel economy and drivability.
z If the lamp does not illuminate when the ig-
nition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode is put in ON, we rec-
ommend you to have the system checked.CAUT,ONz If the lamp illuminates while the engine is
running, avoid driving at high speeds and have the system inspected by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point as soon as possible.
Accelerator pedal and brake pedal response may be negatively influenced under these
conditions.NOTEz The engine electronic control module ac-
commodating the onboard diagnostic system has various fault data (especially about the
exhaust emission) stored.
This data will be erased if a battery cable is
disconnected which will make a rapid diag- nosis difficult. Do not disconnect a battery
cable when the check engine warning lamp is ON.
Charge warning lamp
This lamp illuminates when the ignition switch is turnedto the “ON” position or the
operation mode is put in ON,
and goes off after the engine
has started.
CAUT,ONz If it illuminates while the engine is running,
there is a problem in the charging system.
Immediately park your vehicle in a safe place and we recommend you to have it
checked.Oil pressure warning lamp
This lamp illuminates when
the ignition switch is turnedto the “ON” position or the
operation mode is put in ON,
and the lamp goes off after
the engine has started. If it il-
luminates while the engine is running, the oil pressure is too low.
If the warning lamp illuminates while the en-
gine is running, turn the engine off and have it inspected.
CAUT,ONz If this lamp illuminates when the engine oil
level is not low, have it inspected.
z This warning lamp does not indicate the
amount of oil in the crankcase. This must be
determined by checking the oil level on the dipstick, while the engine is switched off.
z If you continue driving with low engine oil
level or with this warning lamp illuminated, engine seizure may occur.
