Check engine warning lamp (petrol-
powered vehicles)
E00502600501
This lamp is a part of an onboard diagnostic sys-
tem which monitors the emissions, engine and
automatic transmission control systems.
If a problem is detected in one of these systems,
this lamp illuminates or flashes.
Although your vehicle will usually be drivable
and not need towing, we recommend you to have
the system checked as soon as possible.
This lamp will also illuminate for a few seconds
when the ignition key is turned to the “ON” posi-
tion. If it does not go off after a few seconds, we
recommend you to have the vehicle checked.
●If the brake warning lamp comes on at
the same time as the ABS warning
lamp, the brake force distribution
function may not be working, so hard
braking could make the vehicle unsta-
ble. Avoid hard braking and high-
speed driving. Stop the vehicle in a safe
place and we recommend you to con-
sult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.●The vehicle should be brought to a halt
in the following manner when brake
performance 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.
• Should the brakes fail, use engine
braking to reduce your speed and
slowly pull the parking brake lever to
park your vehicle.
Depress the brake pedal to operate
the stop lamp (brake lamp) to alert
the vehicles behind you.CAUTION
!
CAUTION
!●Prolonged driving with this lamp on
may cause further damage to the emis-
sion control system. It could also affect
fuel economy and drivability.●If the lamp does not illuminate when
the ignition key is turned to the “ON”
position, we recommend you to have
the system checked.
