lThe vehicle speed exceeds 8 km/h
(5 mph) with the parking brake applied.CAUTIONl In the situations listed below, brake perform-
ance may be compromised or the vehicle may become unstable if brakes are applied
suddenly; consequently, avoid driving at
high speeds or applying the brakes suddenly. Furthermore, the vehicle should be brought
to a stop in a safe location and to have it
checked.
• The brake warning lamp does not illumi-
nate when the parking brake is applied ordoes not turn off when the parking brake is released.
• The ABS warning lamp and brake warn-
ing lamp illuminate at the same time
For details, refer to “ABS warning lamp”
on page 7-29.
• The brake warning lamp remains illumi-
nated during driving.
l The vehicle should be brought to a halt in
the following manner when brake perform- ance has deteriorated.
• Depress the brake pedal harder than usual.
Even if the brake pedal moves down to
the very end of its possible stroke, keep it
pressed down hard.
• Should the brakes fail, use regenerative
braking to reduce your speed and careful- ly pull the parking brake lever.
Depress the brake pedal to operate the
stop lamp to alert the vehicles behind you.Check engine warning lamp
E00502602938
This lamp is a part of an on-
board diagnostic system
which monitors the emis-
sions, engine control system. If a problem is detected in one of these systems, this
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.
Auxiliary battery charge warn-
ing lamp
E00502702287
This warning lamp will illu- minate when there is a fault with the charging system of

brid EV System is started and the ready indi-
cator illuminates, the warning lamp will go
out.CAUTIONl If the warning lamp stays on after the ready
indicator illuminates, there may be a prob- lem with the charging system for the auxili- ary battery.
• Immediately park your vehicle in a safe
place and we recommend you to have it checked.
• Do not charge the auxiliary battery.Plug-in Hybrid EV System

E00524601117Brake warning display
E00524701381
This warning is displayed if you drive withthe parking brake still applied. The warning lamp in the instrument cluster only illumi-
nates when the parking brake is applied.

Page 183 of 490

When the operation mode of the power
switch is put in ON, if the brake fluid is low,
this warning is displayed.
The warning lamp in the instrument cluster also illuminates.CAUTIONl If this warning stays illuminated and does
not go out while driving, there is a danger of ineffective braking. In this case, immediate-
ly park your vehicle in a safe place and we recommend you to have it checked.
l If the brake warning display is displayed and
the brake warning lamp and the ABS warn- ing lamp are illuminated at the same time,
the braking force distribution function will
not operate, so the vehicle may be destabi- lised during sudden braking. Avoid sudden
braking and high-speed driving, stop the ve-
hicle in a safe place, and we recommend you to have it checked.
l The vehicle should be brought to a halt in
the following manner when brake perform-
ance has deteriorated.
• Depress the brake pedal harder than usual.
Even if the brake pedal moves down to
the very end of its possible stroke, keep it pressed down hard.
• Should the brakes fail, use regenerative
brake to reduce your speed and carefully
pull the parking brake lever.

tion screen in the multi information display.
CAUTIONl If the vehicle is driven while the engine oil
is low, or the oil level is normal but the warning is displayed, the engine may burn
out and be damaged.
l If the warning is displayed while the Plug-in
Hybrid EV System is operating, immediately
park your vehicle in a safe place and check
the engine oil level.
l If the warning is displayed while the engine
oil level is normal, have it inspected.Combination headlamps
