NOTE
Do 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 equipped with a CVT or a Twin
Clutch SST has a stronger tendency to creep for-
ward.
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.

When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, if the
brake fluid is low, this warning is displayed.

CAUTION
!
If a vehicle is driven without releasing the parking
brake, the brakes will overheat, resulting in ineffec-
tive braking and possible brake failure.
If this warning is displayed while driving, release the
parking brake.
CAUTION
!
If this warning stays on and does not go out while
driving, there is a danger of ineffective braking. If
this happens, park the vehicle in a safe place, and
contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a
repair facility of your choice.
If the brake warning display, brake warning light,
and the Anti-lock braking system warning light are
illuminated at the same time, the braking force dis-
tribution function will not operate, so the vehicle
may be destabilized during sudden braking. 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.
