ABS warning lampE00607200718
The ABS warning lamp comes on and a buzzer sounds in the
event of a malfunction in the anti-lock brake system. It will
also come on as a self-check for a few seconds when the igni-
tion switch is turned to the “ON” position. The lamp goes out
after a few seconds. Always make sure that the lamp goes out
before starting to drive.
If the warning lamp illuminates while drivingE00607300881
If only the ABS warning lamp illuminates
● Avoid hard braking and high-speed driving. Stop the vehi-
cle in a safe place.
Restart the engine and check to see if the lamp goes out
after a few minutes of driving; if it remains off during
driving, there is no problem.
However, if the lamp does not go out, or if it lights up
again when the vehicle is dr iven, we recommend that you
consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point.
● The ABS warning lamp can illuminate if there is insuffi-
cient battery voltage when the engine is started. In this
case, it does not indicate an ABS fault.
Charge the battery by allowing the engine to idle for a
while.
If the battery has been charged but the ABS warning lamp
continues to illuminate or illuminates intermittently, we
recommend that you cons ult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.
If the ABS warning lamp and brake warning lamp
illuminate at the same time
● The brake force distribution function may not work, so
hard braking could make the vehicle unstable.
Avoid hard braking and high-speed driving. Stop the vehi-
cle in a safe place and we recommend that you consult a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point.CAUTION!
●If the warning lamp stays on or does not illuminate
when you start the vehicle, it indicates that the ABS
is not functioning and that only the standard brake
system is in operation. (I n this condition the stand-
ard hydraulic brake system will still function.) We
recommend that you consult a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.

Brake fluid/Clutch fluid*
E01000800035
The brake fluid (A) and the clutch fluid (B) share a reservoir
tank.
To check the fluid level
The fluid level must be between the “MAX” and “MIN” marks
on the reservoir.
The brake fluid level is monitored by a float. When the fluid
level falls below the “MIN” mark, the brake fluid warning
lamp lights up.
The brake fluid level falls slightly with wear of the brake pads,
but this does not indicate any abnormality.
