Engine malfunction indicator (“SERVICE
ENGINE SOON” or “Check engine light”)
N00520500729
This indicator is a part of the onboard diagnostic (OBD) sys-
tem which monitors the emissions, engine control system or
continuously variable transmission (CVT) control system /
Twin Clutch SST control system. If a problem is detected in
one of these systems, this indicator comes on. When the igni-
tion switch is turned to the “ON” position, this indicator nor-
mally comes on and goes off after the engine has started.
This indicator will come on if the fuel tank filler cap is not
properly tightened. If this 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.
CAUTION
!If the brake warning light and the anti-lock braking
system warning light are illuminated at the same
time, the braking force distribution function will not
operate, so the vehicle may be destabilized during
sudden braking under the following conditions.
• When the brake warning light does not go out even
when the parking brake is released.
• When the brake warning light stays on while driv-
ing.
• If the above occurs, avoid sudden braking and
high-speed driving. Park the vehicle in a safe
place, and contact an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice as
soon as possible.
The vehicle should be brought to a halt in the follow-
ing manner when brake performance is deterio-
rated.
• Confirm that the vehicle slows down when you
press down on the brake pedal harder than usual.
In some cases, the brake pedal may go all the way
to the floor.
• Should the brakes fail, use engine braking to
reduce your speed and slowly apply the parking
brake.
Depress the brake pedal to illuminate the stop
lights to alert the vehicles behind you.
Do not suddenly apply the parking brake while driv-
ing. This may cause the rear wheels to lock and
cause an accident.
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 at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer
or a repair facility of your choice.

NOTEDo 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.
Charging system warning light
N00520600296
This light comes on in the event of a malfunction in the charg-
ing system or when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON”
position (engine off). A warning is also displayed in the multi-
information display. When the engine is started, the light
should go out. Check to make sure that the light has gone out
before driving.
If the engine malfunction indicator comes on while
the engine is running, 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 a vehicle with a CVT or a Twin Clutch
SST has a stronger tendency to creep forward.
CAUTION
!
CAUTION
!If the warning light stays on while the engine is run-
ning, park your vehicle in a safe place as soon as
possible and contact an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice to
have the system checked.

!Although the Bluetooth

make hands-free calls, if you choose to use the cellu-
lar phone while driving, you must not allow yourself
to be distracted from the safe operation of your vehi-
cle. Anything, including cellular phone usage, that
distracts you from the safe operation of your vehicle
increases your risk of an accident.
Refer to and comply with all state and local laws in
your area regarding cellular phone usage while driv-
ing.

Braking
N00629500446
All the parts of the brake system are critical to safety. Have the
vehicle serviced by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or
a repair facility of your choice at regular intervals according to
the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”.When brakes are wetCheck the brake system while driving at a low speed immedi-
ately after starting, especially when the brakes are wet, to con-
firm they work normally.
A film of water can be formed on the brake discs or brake
drums and prevent normal braking after driving in heavy rain
or through large puddles, or after the vehicle is washed. If this
occurs, dry the brakes out by driving slowly while lightly
depressing the brake pedal.When driving in cold weatherOn snowy roads, ice can form on the braking system, making
the brakes less effective. While driving in such conditions, pay
close attention to preceding and following vehicles and to the
condition of the road surface. From time to time, lightly
depress the brake pedal and check how effective the brakes are.When driving downhillIt is important to take advantage of the engine braking by shift-
ing to a lower gear while driving on steep downhill roads in
order to prevent the brakes from overheating.

N00733800151
The air conditioning system is equipped with an air filter to
remove pollen and dust.
The air filter’s ability to collect pollen and dirt is reduced as it
becomes dirty, so replace it periodically. For the maintenance
interval, refer to the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE
MANUAL”.NOTEOperation in certain conditions such as driving on a dusty
road and frequent use of the air conditioning can lead to
reduction of service life of the filter. When you feel that
the air flow is lower than normal or when the windshield
or windows start to fog up easily, replace the air filter.
Contact your Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility
of your choice for assistance.

equipped)N00734300919
The audio system can only be used when the ignition switch is
in the “ON” or “ACC” position.NOTETo listen to the audio system while the engine is not run-
ning, turn the ignition switch to the “ACC” position.
If the ignition switch is left in the “ACC” position, the
accessory power will automatically turn off after a certain
period of time and you will no longer be able to use the
audio system. The accessory power comes on again if the
ignition switch is turned from the “ACC” position. Refer
to “ACC power auto-cutout function” on page 3-85.
If a cellular phone is used inside the vehicle, it may create
noise in the audio equipment. This does not mean that
anything is wrong with your audio equipment. In such a
case, use the cellular phone at a place as far as possible
from the audio equipment.
If foreign objects or water get into the audio equipment, or
if smoke or a strange odor comes from it, immediately
turn off the audio system and have it checked at an autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice. Never try to repair it yourself. Avoid using the
audio system until it is inspected by a qualified person.
If the audio system is damaged by foreign objects, water,
or fire, have the system checked by a qualified Mitsubishi
Motors technician.
