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 depress the park-
ing brake pedal 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.Door-ajar warning light and buzzer
N00520900286
This light comes on when any door, the liftgate is open or not
completely closed.
When the vehicle is moving at more than 5 mph (8 km/h) and
any door, the liftgate is open or ajar, a tone will sound 4 times
and the warning light will flash 4 times to inform the driver
that any door, the liftgate is not properly shut.
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 Mit-
subishi 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.
CAUTION
!
Before driving, make sure that the door-ajar warn-
ing light is off.

NOTE
The light remains on for a certain period and then goes out
automatically after about 30 minutes.
Refer to “Interior light auto-cutout function (dome light
and other lights)” on page 3-203.

In a vehicle with a multi center display, the multi center
display can be used to stop the warning lamp from flash-
ing and to stop the tone from functioning. For details,
refer to “Setting and customization” on page 3-108.

In a vehicle with a multi center display, if any of the doors
(including the liftgate) is not completely closed while the

showing which of the doors (including the liftgate) is ajar
appears on the multi center display screen. For details,
refer to “Door open warning” on page 3-107.

N00522100064
When the ignition key is in the “ACC” or “ON” position, the
display turns on automatically.NOTE
Putting a cellular phone in the monitor’s small storage
compartment may weaken the phone’s reception. This is
typical and does not mean that something is wrong with
the system.

Use of wireless devices such as transceivers near the mon-
itor may make the screen go dark temporarily. This is typ-
ical and does not mean that something is wrong with the
system.
WA R N I N G

make sure the vehicle is parked in a well ventilated
area to avoid the accumulation of toxic fumes inside
and outside of the passenger compartment.
CAUTION

vehicle is in motion.
When operating the system, stop the vehicle in a safe
area.

Driving range
N00500700028
This value shows the distance (in miles or km) that can be
driven on the fuel remaining in the fuel tank.NOTE
If the driving range drops below 30 miles (50 km) while
the driving range is displayed, the display shows “--”.
When this occurs, replenish the fuel tank as soon as possi-
ble.

When the system cannot provide a definite value for the
driving range, the display shows “---”.

The driving range varies depending on road conditions,
the manner of driving and other related factors. Conse-
quently, the display should be used only as a guide. It is
recommended to add fuel as soon as the low-fuel warning
light in the instrument cluster illuminates.
(Refer to “Low-fuel warning light” on page 3-80.)

Refueling will update the driving range indication.

The driving range displayed is based on previous fuel
economy data. Disconnecting the battery cable will result
in the deletion of existing fuel consumption data, which
will affect the unit’s calculations.

The driving range figure can occasionally increase if the
vehicle is stopped on an incline. This is normal, as the fuel
has moved in the tank because of the incline.
Average speed
N00500800029
The average speed (B) from the time when the display was last
reset to the present moment is shown with a graph. For instruc-
tions on resetting the display, refer to “To reset the display” on
page 3-105.NOTE
The range (A) for which historical data are shown in the
graph can be changed. Refer to “Graph indication” on
page 3-106.

The unit for the average speed can be set to mph or km/h.
Refer to “Display unit selection” on page 3-106 or “Units
customization” on page 3-120.

When the system cannot provide a definite value for aver-
age speed, it is displayed as “--”.
