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.

5-15OKTE17E1Instruments and controls5

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.

This lamp illuminates when
the ignition switch is turnedto the “ON” position or the
operation mode is put in ON, and the lamp goes off after
the engine has started. If it il-
luminates while the engine is running, the oil
pressure is too low.
If the warning lamp illuminates while the en- gine is running, turn the engine off and have
it inspected.
CAUTIONl If this lamp illuminates when the engine oil
level is not low, have it inspected.
l This warning lamp does not indicate the
amount of oil in the crankcase. This must be determined by checking the oil level on the
dipstick, while the engine is switched off.
l If you continue driving with low engine oil
level or with this warning lamp illuminated,
engine seizure may occur.NOTEl The oil pressure warning lamp should not be
treated as an indication of the engine’s oil
level. The oil level must be checked using
the dipstick.Door ajar warning lamp

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
switch E00507902604
The rear window demister switch can be op-erated when the engine is running.
Push the switch to turn on the rear window
demister. It will be turned off automatically
in about 20 minutes. To turn off the demister
within about 20 minutes, push the switch again.
The indication lamp (A) will illuminate while
the demister is on.

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.
Economical driving

NOTE•Electric power consumption is high, such
as when the rear window demister or oth-
er electrical components are operating or
the blower speed is set to a high setting.
• Battery voltage or battery performance is
low.
• Check engine warning lamp is illuminated
or the
indication lamp is blinking.
• On 4WD vehicles, the drive mode-selec-
tor in “4H” or “4L” (Easy select 4WD),
“4HLc” or “4LLc” (Super select 4WD II).
l In the following cases, the engine will not
stop automatically even if “AS&G” indica-
tion lamp turn on.
• Push the accelerator pedal.
• Brake booster vacuum pressure is low.
• Operate the steering wheel.
• Parking on steep hill.
l Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal
while driving because this will cause detec-
tion of clutch pedal malfunction and blink-
ing of AS&G OFF display/indicator, and AS&G system will not operate.
l If the AS&G system operates while the air
conditioner is operating, both the engine and
the air conditioning compressor will stop.
Therefore, only the blower will operate, the windows may start to fog up. If this occurs,
press the demister switch to restart the en- gine.
Refer to “Demister switch” on page 7-15.
NOTEl If the windows become fogged up each time
the engine is stopped, we recommend you to
deactivate the AS&G system by pressing the
“AS&G OFF” switch. Refer to “To deacti- vate” on page 6-26.
l If the air conditioner is operating, set the
temperature control higher to lengthen the
time that the engine is stopped automatical- ly.Automatically restarting the
engine
E00627601265
Depress the clutch pedal while the gearshift lever is in the “N” (Neutral) position. The in- dication lamp turns off and the engine restarts
automatically.
NOTEl Do not move the gearshift lever to a position
other than the “N” (Neutral) position or do
not release the clutch pedal while the engine is restarting automatically. The starter motor will stop and the engine will not restart auto-
matically.NOTEl If the engine does not restart automatically
or if the engine stalls, the charge warning lamp and check engine warning lamp will il-
luminate.
If this occurs, the engine will not restart even if the clutch pedal is depressed again. While depressing the brake pedal, fully de-press the clutch pedal and turn the ignition
switch to the “START” position or press the engine switch to start the engine.
For details, refer to “Starting and stopping
the engine” on page 6-17.CAUTIONl In the following cases, the engine will restart
automatically even if the engine was stopped
by the AS&G system. Pay attention, other- wise an unexpected accident might occur
when the engine restarts.
• Vehicle speed is 3 km/h (2 mph) or higher
when coasting down a slope.
• Brake booster vacuum pressure is low be-
cause the brake pedal is depressed repeat- edly or depressed harder than usual.
• Engine coolant temperature is low.
• When the air conditioner is operated by
pressing the air conditioning switch.
• When the preset temperature of the air
conditioner is changed significantly.

If you are going to leave the vehicle unatten-
ded, always switch off the engine and carry the key.
NOTEl On a slope, be sure to apply the parking
brake before moving the selector lever to the
“P” (PARK) position. If you move the selec- tor lever to the “P” (PARK) position before applying the parking brake, it may be diffi-
cult to disengage the selector lever from the
“P” (PARK) position when next you drive the vehicle, requiring application of a strong
force to the selector lever to move from the
“P” (PARK) position.When the automatic transmis-
sion makes no speed change
E00604801882
If the transmission does not change speeds
while driving, or your vehicle does not pick up enough speed when starting on an uphillslope, it may be that there is something un-
usual happening in the transmission, causing a safety device to activate. Immediately have
your vehicle checked at a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point. 1. If your vehicle has difficulty moving up-
hill, shift the selector lever into 2 nd
