E00502602938
This lamp is a part of an on-

lamp illuminates or flashes.
Although your vehicle will usually be driva-
ble and not need towing, we recommend you
to have the system checked as soon as possi- ble.
This lamp will also illuminate when the oper-
ation mode of the power switch is put in ON,
and goes off after the Plug-in Hybrid EV
System has started. If it does not go off after the Plug-in Hybrid EV System has started,
we recommend you to have the vehicle checked.
CAUTIONl Prolonged driving with this lamp on may
cause further damage to the emission control
system. It could also affect fuel economy and drivability.
l If the lamp does not illuminate when the op-
eration mode is put in ON, we recommend
you to have the system checked.CAUTIONl If the lamp illuminates while the Plug-in Hy-
brid EV System is operating, avoid driving
at high speeds and have the system inspected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point as soon as possible.NOTEl The engine electronic control module ac-
commodating the onboard diagnostic system has various fault data (especially about the
exhaust emission) stored.
This data will be erased if a auxiliary battery
cable is disconnected which will make a rap- id diagnosis difficult. Do not disconnect a
auxiliary battery cable when the check engine
warning lamp is ON.
