E00502603137
This lamp is a part of an on-
board diagnostic system
which monitors the emis-
sions, engine control system or A/T control system.
If a problem is detected in
one of these systems, 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.
CAUTIONl Prolonged driving with this lamp on may
cause further damage to the emission control
system. It could also affect fuel economy and drivability.
l 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.

CAUTIONlIf 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.NOTEl 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.

Precautions to observe whenusing wipers and washers
E00507601473
l If the moving wipers become blocked
partway through a sweep by ice or other deposits on the glass, the wipers maytemporarily stop operating to prevent the
motor from overheating. In this case,
park the vehicle in a safe place, turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” position
or put the operation mode in OFF, and
then remove the ice or other deposits.
The wipers will start operating again af- ter the wiper motor cools down, so
check that the wipers operate before us-
ing them.
l Do not use the wipers when the glass is
dry.
They may scratch the glass surface and the blades wear out prematurely.
l Before using the wipers in cold weather,
check that the wiper blades are not fro-zen onto the glass. The motor may burn
out if the wipers are used with the blades
frozen onto the glass.
l Avoid using the washer continuously for
more than 20 seconds. Do not operate the washer when the fluid reservoir isempty.
Otherwise, the motor may burn out.
l Periodically check the level of washer
fluid in the reservoir and refill if re-
quired.
During cold weather, add a recommen- ded washer solution that will not freeze
in the washer reservoir. Failure to do so
could result in loss of washer function and frost damage to the system compo- nents.Rear window demister

Economical drivingE00600102318
For economical driving, there are some tech- nical requirements that have to be met. Theprerequisite for low fuel consumption is a
properly adjusted engine. In order to achieve longer life of the vehicle and the most eco- nomical operation, we recommend you tohave the vehicle checked at regular intervals in accordance with the service standards.
Fuel economy and generation of exhaust gas
and noise are highly influenced by personal
driving habits as well as the particular operat- ing conditions. The following points shouldbe observed in order to minimize wear of
brakes, tyres and engine as well as to reduce
environmental pollution.
Starting the engine
Avoid sudden acceleration and sudden starts,
as they will increase fuel consumption.
Shifting
Shift only at an appropriate speed and engine speed. Always use the highest shift position
possible.
The transfer shift lever or the drive mode-se-
lector should be set to “2H” when driving 4WD vehicles on normal roads and express
ways to obtain best possible fuel economy.
City traffic
Frequent starting and stopping increases the
average fuel consumption. Use roads with smooth traffic flow whenever possible. When driving on congested roads, avoid use of a
low shift position at high engine speeds.
Idling
The vehicle consumes fuel even during idling. Avoid extended idling whenever pos-
sible.
Speed
At higher vehicle speed, more fuel is con-
sumed. Avoid driving at full speed. Even a slight release of the accelerator pedal willsave a significant amount of fuel.
Tyre inflation pressure
Check the tyre inflation pressures at regularintervals. Low tyre inflation pressure increa-ses road resistance and fuel consumption. In
addition, low tyre pressures adversely affect tyre wear and driving stability.
Cargo loads
Do not drive with unnecessary articles in the
luggage compartment. Especially during city
driving where frequent starting and stopping is necessary, the increased weight of the ve-
hicle will greatly affect fuel consumption. Al- so avoid driving with unnecessary luggage or carriers, etc., on the roof; the increased air re- sistance will increase fuel consumption.
Cold engine starting
Starting of a cold engine consumes more fuel. Unnecessary fuel consumption is alsocaused by keeping a hot engine running. Af-
ter the engine is started, commence driving as soon as possible.
Cooler or air conditioning
The use of the air conditioner will increase the fuel consumption.
Driving, alcohol and drugs
E00600200070
Driving after drinking alcohol is one of the
most frequent causes of accidents.
