This indicator is a pa
rt of the onboard diag-
nostic (OBD) system which monitors theemissions, engine control system or auto-matic transaxle control system/continuouslyvariable transmission (CVT) control system.If a problem is detected in one of these sys-tems, this indicator illuminates or flashes.When the ignition switch is turned to the“ON” position or the ope
ration mode is put in
ON, this indicator
normally comes on and
goes off after the engine has started.
This indicator will come on if the fuel tankfiller cap is not properly tightened. If thisindicator comes on and stays on after refuel-ing, stop the engine and check that the cap isproperly tightened. (Turn the cap clockwiseuntil you hear clicking sounds.)If this indicator does not go off after severalseconds or lights up while driving, have thesystem checked as soon as possible at anauthorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or arepair facility of your choice.

CAUTIONWhen the warning light remains on or doesnot come on, there is the possibility that theparking brake cannot
be operated or
released. Immediately contact the nearestauthorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer. When
the warning light comes on during driving,immediately stop the vehi
cle in a safe place,
and contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer. If you inevitably have to park, parkthe vehicle on level a

Engine malfunction indicator (“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” or “Check engine light”)
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 theignition switch is turned to the “ON” posi-tion or the operation mode is put in ON, havethe system checked at an authorized Mitsubi-shi Motors dealer or a repair facility of yourchoice.
If the engine malfuncti
on 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 depress the brake pedalmore firmly than usual since the engineidling speed is higher than usual and a vehi-cle with an automatic transaxle or CVT has astronger tendency to creep forward.NOTE
Do not disconnect the ba
ttery cable when the
engine malfunction i
ndicator (“SERVICE
ENGINE SOON” or “Ch
eck engine light”) is
on.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.

• A vehicle in front
or oncoming vehicle is
hindered by any object such as continuousbends, elevated median
/island, traffic signs,
roadside trees.• Your vehicle passes
an oncoming vehicle
suddenly on a bend with poor visibility.• Another vehicle crosse
s ahead of your vehi-
cle.
The headlights may remain at low beam (orbe switched from high beam to low beam)when a reflective object (e.g. street light,traffic signal, notic
eboard and signboard)
reflects light. Any of the following
factors may influence
the headlight beam switching timing:• How brightly the exteri
or lights of a vehicle
in front or oncoming
vehicle il
luminate.
• Movement or direction of a vehicle in frontor oncoming vehicle.• Only right or left exte
rior light of a vehicle
in front or oncoming
vehicle is illuminat-
ing.• A vehicle in front or
oncoming vehicle is a
motorcycle.• Road conditions (gradient, bends and roadsurface).• The number of occupants and luggage load.The automatic high beam system recognisesenvironmental conditi
ons by sensing a light
source ahead of your vehicle. Therefore, youmay feel like someth
ing is not quite right
when the headlight beams are switched auto-matically.NOTE
The system may not de
tect a light vehicle
such as a bicycle.The system may not detect an ambientbrightness precisely. Th
is causes the traffic
to be dazzled by high beam or the low beamto be maintained. In such cases, you shouldswitch the headlight beams manually.• In bad weather (heavy rain, fog, snow orsandstorm).• The windshield is
dirty or fogged up.
