This indicator is a pa
rt of the onboard diag-
nostic (OBD) system which monitors the emissions, engine control system or continu- ously variable transmission (CVT) controlsystem. If a problem is detected in one of these systems, this indicator illuminates or flashes. When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode is put in ON, this indicator normally comes onand 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 refuel-ing, 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 s
oon as possible at an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.

Warning lights
Features and controls 5-73

N00520600313
This light comes on in the event of a malfunc- tion in the charging system or when the igni-tion switch is turned to the “ON” position (engine off) or the operation mode is put in ON. When the engine is started, the lightshould go out. Check to make sure that the light has gone out before driving.
N00520700170
This light comes on when the engine oil pres-sure is below normal. If the light stays on while driving, stop the engine as soon as pos-sible. Do not run the engine until the cause of the low oil pressure is corrected.
N00575700011
This light comes on in red if the coolant tem- perature becomes excessively high.
CAUTION Driving for a long time
with the engine mal-
function indicator on may cause more dam-age to the emission control system. Thiscould also affect fuel
economy and drivabil-
ity. If this indicator does not come on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” posi- tion or the operation mode is put in ON, havethe system checked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice. If the engine malfunction indicator comes on while the engine is running, avoid driving athigh speeds. During vehicle
operation with the indicator
on, the vehicle may not
accelerate when you
depress the accelerator pedal. When the vehicle is stat
ionary with the indi-
cator on, you must depr
ess the brake pedal
more firmly than usual since the engine idling speed is higher th
an usual and a vehi-
cle with a CVT has a stronger tendency tocreep forward.
NOTE
 Do not disconnect the ba
ttery cable when the
engine malfunction i
ndicator (“SERVICE
ENGINE SOON” or “Check engine light”) ison. The engine electronic
control module stores
critical OBD informati
on (especially exhaust
emission data), which ma
y be lost if the bat-
tery cable is disconne
cted while the engine
malfunction indicator is
on. This will make it
difficult to diagnose th
e cause of future prob-
lems.
Charging system warning light
CAUTION If the warning light stays on while the engine is running, park your ve
hicle 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.
Oil pressure warning light
CAUTION If this light comes on when the engine oil level is not low, have
your vehicle checked at
an authorized Mitsubish
i Motors dealer or a
repair facility of your choice. This warning light does not show the amount of oil in the crankcase. This can only be determined by checking the oil level with the dipstick with the engine turned off.

ice or other deposits on the glass, the motor may still burn out even
if the wiper switch is
OFF. If deposits form on the windshield,park your vehicle in a safe place, turn off the engine, and clean the glass so that the wipers can operate smoothly.  Avoid using the washer for more than 20 sec- onds at a time. Do not
operate the washer
when the washer fluid reservoir is empty or the pump may fail.  During cold weather, add a recommended washer solution that will not freeze in the washer fluid reservoir. Otherwise the washermay not work or may be damaged.  Replace the wiper blades when they are worn. Use the proper size replacement blades. For further info
