If the outside air temperature drops below ap-
prox. 3 °C (37 °F), the alarm sounds and the outside air temperature warning symbol (A)
flashes for about 10 seconds.
CAUTIONl There is a danger the road might be icy, even
when this symbol is not flashing, so please take care when driving.Engine coolant temperature
display
E00533801072
This indicates the engine
coolant temperature.
If the coolant becomes hot, “

CAUTIONl If the engine is overheating, “” will blink.
In this case, the bar graph is in the red zone.
Immediately park the vehicle in a safe place
and take the required measures. Refer to “Engine overheating” on page 8-09.

Diesel particulate filter(DPF) E00619801457
The diesel particulate filter (DPF) is a device that captures most of the particulate matter
(PM) in the exhaust emissions of the diesel engine. The DPF automatically burns away trapped PM during vehicle operation. Under
certain driving conditions, however, the DPF is not able to burn away all of the trapped PM
and, as a result, an excessive amount of PM accumulates inside it.WARNINGl The DPF reaches very high temperatures.
Do not park your vehicle in areas where combustible materials such as dry grass
or leaves can come in contact with a hot exhaust system since a fire could occur.CAUTIONl Do not use any type of fuel or engine oil that
is not specified for your vehicle. Also, do not use any moisture-removing agent or oth-
er fuel additive. Such substances could have a detrimental effect on the DPF.
Refer to “Fuel selection” on page 2-02 and
“Engine oil” on page 10-05.NOTEl To minimize the likelihood of excessive ac-
cumulation of PM, try to avoid driving for long periods at low speeds and repeatedly
driving short distances, and try to keep high
engine speed driving as much as possible.
l The engine sounds slightly different than
usual while the DPF automatically burns
away trapped PM. The change in the engine
sound does not indicate a fault.
DPF warning lamp
The DPF warning lamp comes on in the
event of an abnormality in the DPF system.
If the DPF warning lamp
comes on during vehicle opera- tion
Steady illumination of the DPF warning lamp shows that the DPF has not been able to burn
away all of the trapped PM and that, as a re-
sult, an excessive amount of PM has accumu- lated inside it. To enable the DPF to burn
away the PM, try to drive the vehicle as fol-
lows:
l With the bar graph of engine coolant
temperature display stabilized in roughly
the middle of the scale, drive for approx- imately 20 minutes at a speed of at least
40 km/h (25 mph).

If the DPF warning lamp subsequently stays
on, contact your MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.
CAUTIONl You do not have to continuously drive ex-
actly as indicated above. Always strive to
drive safely in accordance with road condi- tions.

l In the following cases, the “AS&G” indica-
tion lamp will turn off and the engine will
not stop automatically.
• After the engine restarts automatically,
the vehicle speed has not exceeded ap- proximately 5 km/h (3 mph).
• After the engine start, approximately 30
seconds or more have not elapsed.
• After the engine restarts automatically
and the vehicle stops again within 10 sec- onds.
• Engine coolant temperature is low.
• Ambient temperature is low.
• When the heater is operated, vehicle indi-
cator temperature is not still hot enough.
• Air conditioning is operating and passen-
ger compartment has not sufficientlycooled.
• Demister switch is pressed.

• When the diesel particulate filter (DPF)
automatically burns away trapped particu- late matter (PM).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.

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

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.

When the engine is overheating, “” will
blink.
If this occurs, take the following corrective measures: 1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
2. Check whether steam is coming from the
engine compartment.

[If steam does not come from the engine
compartment]
With the engine still running, raise the
bonnet to ventilate the engine compart-
ment.NOTEl For vehicles equipped with the Auto Stop &
Go (AS&G) system, press the “Auto Stop &Go (AS&G) OFF” switch to deactivate theAuto Stop & Go (AS&G) system before stopping the vehicle.
Refer to “To deactivate” on page 6-26.
[If steam is coming from the engine
compartment]
Stop the engine, and when the steam
stops, raise the bonnet to ventilate the engine compartment. Restart the engine.
WARNINGl Do not open the bonnet while steam is
coming from the engine compartment. It
could cause steam or hot water to spurt out, causing burns. Hot water could spurt
out even when there is no steam coming out, and some parts will be very hot. Be
very careful when opening the bonnet.
l Be careful of hot steam, which could be
blowing off the reserve tank cap.WARNINGl Do not attempt to remove the radiator
cap while the engine is hot.
3. Confirm that the cooling fan (A) is turn-
ing.
[If the cooling fan is turning]
After the high coolant temperature warn- ing has gone off, stop the engine.
