Engine malfunction indicator (“SERVICE
ENGINE SOON” or “Check engine light”)
N00520500396
This indicator is a part of the onboard diagnostic (OBD) sys-
tem which monitors the emissions, engine, and automatic tran-
saxle control systems. If a problem is detected in one of these
systems, this indicator comes on. When the ignition key is
turned to the “ON” position, this indicator normally comes on
and goes off a few seconds later.
This indicator will come on if the fuel tank filler cap is not
properly tightened. If the indicator comes on and stays on after
refueling, stop the engine and check that the cap is properly
tightened. (Turn the cap clockwise until you hear clicking
sounds.)
If this indicator does not go off after several seconds or lights
up while driving, have the system checked as soon as possible
at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of
your choice.
NOTE
Do not disconnect the battery cable when the Engine mal-
function indicator (“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” or
“Check engine light”) is on.
The engine electronic control module stores critical OBD
information (especially exhaust emission data), which
may be lost if the battery cable is disconnected while the
engine malfunction indicator is on. This will make it diffi-
cult to diagnose the cause of future problems.

The vehicle should be brought to a stop in the fol-
lowing manner when brake performance has deteri-
orated while driving.
• Press the brake pedal harder than usual.
• Should the brakes fail, shift down to a lower gear
to reduce your speed and slowly pull the parking
brake lever to park your vehicle. Press the brake
pedal to operate your rear brake lights to alert
vehicles behind you.CAUTION
!
CAUTION
!
Driving for a long time with the engine malfunction
indicator on may cause more damage to the emission
control system. This could also affect fuel economy
and drivability.
If this indicator does not come on when the ignition
key is turned to the “ON” position, have the system
checked by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer
or a repair facility of your choice.
If the indicator comes on while the engine is run-
ning, avoid driving at high speeds.
During vehicle operation with the indicator on, the
vehicle may not accelerate when you depress the
accelerator pedal.
When the vehicle is stationary with the indicator on,
you must depress the brake pedal more firmly than
usual since the engine idling speed is higher than
usual and the vehicle with an automatic transaxle
has a stronger tendency to creep forward.

Charging system warning light
N00520600166
This light comes on in the event of a malfunction in the charg-
ing system or when the ignition key is turned to the “ON” posi-
tion (engine off). When the engine is started, the light should
go out. Check to make sure that the light has gone out before
driving.
Oil pressure warning light
N00520700154
This light comes on when the engine oil pressure is below nor-
mal. If the light stays on while driving, stop the engine as soon
as possible. Do not run the engine until the cause of the low oil
pressure is corrected.
CAUTION
!
If the warning light stays on after the engine has
started, the battery charging system may be mal-
functioning. In this case, take your vehicle to an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair
facility of your choice and have the system checked.
CAUTION
!
If this light comes on when the engine oil level is not
low, have your vehicle checked at an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice.
This warning light does not show the amount of oil
in the crankcase. This can only be determined by
checking the oil level with the dipstick with the
engine turned off.

3 Hands-free Bluetooth
® cellular phone
interface system with voice recognition
(if so equipped)
N00506400069
The Hands-free Bluetooth
® cellular phone interface system
with voice recognition (Bluetooth
® HFP) uses a wireless com-
munication technology known as Bluetooth
® to allow you to
make hands-free calls in your vehicle using your Bluetooth
®
compatible cellular phone with Hands-free profile.
The system is equipped with a voice recognition function,
which lets you make hands-free calls by simple switch opera-
tions and voice command operations using a defined voice tree.
The Bluetooth
® HFP can be used when the ignition switch is in
the “ON” or “ACC” position.
To use the Bluetooth
® HFP, you should first connect your
Bluetooth
® compatible cellular phone to the Bluetooth
® HFP.
Refer to “Pairing a cellular phone” on page 3-145.
Bluetooth
® is a registered trademark of BLUETOOTH SIG,
INC.
NOTE
You cannot use the Bluetooth
® HFP if your cellular phone
has a dead battery or is turned off.

Hands-free calls will not be possible in areas outside your
cellular phone service area or locations where a signal
cannot reach your phone.
WA R N I N G
!
Although the Bluetooth
® HFP allows you to make
hands-free calls, if you choose to use the cellular
phone while driving, you must not allow that usage
to distract you in the safe operation of your vehicle.
Anything, including cellular phone usage, that dis-
tracts you from the safe operation of your vehicle
increases your risk of an accident. Refer to and fol-
low all state and local laws in your area regarding
cellular phone usage while driving.

a cellular phone” on page 3-145.)
*: Some cellular phones will not send this information to
the Bluetooth
® HFP.

Call waiting and three-way calls can be used by the
Bluetooth
® HFP, only when those services can be used
with your cellular phone.

Users may experience a delay in vehicle audio when plac-
ing or answering a call from the handset. To reduce
delays, users should place calls and receive calls through
the Hands-free System.
Voice recognition function
N00506600090
The Bluetooth
® HFP is equipped with a voice recognition
function. Your voice will be recognized by a microphone in the
front pillar (driver’s side), allowing you to make hands-free
calls with voice commands.
Voice recognition is possible in US English, North American
Spanish and Canadian French. The factory setting is US
English.
Some of the voice commands indicated below have a number
of alternative commands. For a table showing the voice com-
mands in each language and the corresponding alternative
commands, refer to “Commands and Alternatives” on page 3-
159.
NOTE
If the voice command that you say differs from the pre-
defined command or cannot be recognized due to ambient
noise or some other reason, the Bluetooth
® HFP will ask
you for the voice command again up to 3 times.

For best performance and further reduction of ambient
noise, the vehicle windows and the electric convertible
top (ECLIPSE SPYDER only) should be closed while
engaging the voice recognition function.
Selecting the LanguageThere are two ways to change the language. NOTE
The more entries that are registered in the phonebook, the
longer it will take to change the language.

Pairing a cellular phone
N00507100122
To use the Bluetooth
® HFP, you need to pair a Bluetooth
®
compatible cellular phone to the Bluetooth
® HFP.
The Bluetooth
® HFP can register up to a maximum of 7
Bluetooth
® compatible cellular phones. However, of the cellu-
lar phones registered, the cellular phone with the highest prior-
ity level will be automatically paired to the Bluetooth
® HFP.
NOTE
Some Bluetooth
® compatible cellular phones may not be
compatible with the Bluetooth
® HFP.
You can determine what types of Bluetooth
® cellular
phones with Hands-Free Profile can be used by checking
the following website for the Bluetooth
® HFP.
www.mitsubishicars.com/ownersUse the following procedure to pair a Bluetooth
® compatible
cellular phone to the Bluetooth
® HFP.
1. Stop your vehicle in a safe area, put the gearshift lever in
the “N” (Neutral) position (manual transaxle), or the
selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position (automatic tran-
saxle) and pull the parking brake lever.

7. After the voice guide says “Please say a 4-digit pairing
code,” say a 4-digit code. The 4-digit code will be regis-
tered as a pairing code for the phone.
When the confirmation function is on, the system will
confirm whether the code said is acceptable. To continue
with the code, answer “Yes.”
Say “No” to return to pairing code selection.NOTE
The pairing code entered here is only used for the
Bluetooth
® connection certification. It is any 4-digit code
the user would like to select.
Remember the pairing code as it needs to be keyed into
the phone later in the pairing process.
Depending on the Bluetooth
® connection settings
selected, entry of this code may be required each time the
phone attempts to “connect” to the Bluetooth
® HFP. Refer
to your cellular phone owner’s manual for connection
defaults and settings.
8. The voice guide will say “Start pairing procedure on
phone. See phone’s manual for instructions.” Refer to the
owner’s manual for your cellular phone and enter into the
phone the pairing code that was registered in Step 7.9. When the system finds a Bluetooth
® compatible cellular
phone, the voice guide will say “Please say the name of
the phone after the beep.” After you hear the beep, name
the phone by saying a name of your preference.
When the confirmation function is on, the system will say
“Adding , is this correct?”
Answer “Yes” to accept that name or “No” to reenter a
new name.
NOTE
When the system cannot recognize the Bluetooth
® com-
patible cellular phone, the pairing process will end and the
system will beep and then return to normal status.
Try the pairing process again after reconfirming whether
or not the Bluetooth
® HFP supports your Bluetooth
®
compatible cellular phone.
10. The voice guide will say “Assign a priority for this phone
between 1 and 7 where 1 is the phone used most often.”
Say a number between 1 and 7 to set a priority level for
the cellular phone.
NOTE
If you selected a priority level that has already been set for
a different phone, the system will ask you whether you
wish to override that priority level.
To override the priority level, answer “Yes.”
Answer “No” to return to the priority level selection in
Step 10.
