Turn-signal indication lamps - green
ED52A-BB
These indication lamps blink on and off when a
turn-signal lamp is operating.NOTE
If the blinking is too fast, the cause may be a faulty
turn-signal connection or a blown lamp bulb.Hazard warning indication lamps - green
ED30A-A
When the hazard warning lamp switch is pressed,
all turn-signal lamps will flash on and off continu-
ously.Engine oil level warning lamp-amber
ED26A-D
This lamp illuminates when the ignition switch is
turned to the “ON” position, and goes off after theengine has started. If it lights up while the engine is
running, the oil level is too low.
If the warning lamp lights while the engine is run-
ning, stop the engine and add engine oil to speci-
fied level. (Refer to “Engine oil” on page 9-2.)
Low fuel indication lamp - amber
ED63ABD
The indication lamp comes on when the fuel tank is
getting low. Refuel as soon as possible.
CAUTION
On petrol-powered vehicles, do not drive with
an extremely low fuel level; running out of fuel
could cause damage to the catalytic con-
verter.
NOTE
On inclines or curves, due to the movement of fuel
in the tank, the low fuel indication lamp may come
on earlier than usual.

Check engine indication lamp - amber
ED85AAMa
This lamp is a part of an onboard diagnostic sys-
tem which monitors the emissions and engine.
If a problem is detected in one of these systems, this
lamp flashes or illuminates. Although your vehicle
will usually be drivable and not need towing, have
the system checked as soon as possible at an
authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.
This lamp will also illuminate for a few seconds when
the ignition key is turned to the “ON” position. If it
does not go off after a few seconds, take the vehicle
to an authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.
CAUTION
(1) Prolonged driving with this lamp on maycause further damage to the emission con-
trol system. It could also affect fuel
economy and drivability.
(2) If the lamp does not illuminate when the ignition key is turned to the “ON ”posi-
tion, have the system checked at an autho-
rized MITSUBISHI dealer.
CAUTION
(3) If the lamp illuminates or flashes while the engine is running, avoid driving at high
speeds and have the system checked at an
authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.
During vehicle operation with the lamp illu-
minated or flashing, the vehicle may not
accelerate when you depress the accel-
erator pedal. When the vehicle is station-
ary with the lamp illuminated or flashing,
you must depress the brake pedal more
firmly than usual since the engine idling
speed is higher than usual and the vehicle
with an automatic transmission has a
stronger tendency to creep forward.
NOTE
The engine electronic control module accommo-
dating the onboard diagnostic system has various
fault data (especially about the exhaust emission)
stored.
This data will be erased if a battery cable is discon-
nected, which will make a rapid diagnosis difficult.
Do not disconnect a battery cable when the check
engine indication lamp is ON.High-beam indication lamp - blue
ED51A-Aa
This indication lamp illuminates when the high beam
is used.

Charge warning lamp - red
ED54A-Y
This lamp illuminates when the ignition switch is
turned“ON ”, and goes off after the engine has
started.
CAUTION
If it illuminates while the engine is running,
there is a problem in the charging system. In
this case, immediately park your vehicle in a
safe place and contact your nearest autho-
rized MITSUBISHI dealer.
[ Except for 2500 models ]
Abnormality in the charging system.
[ 2500 models ]
Broken alternator belt or abnormality in the
charging system. A broken alternator belt
causes poor braking efficiency. Depress the
brake pedal harder than usual to park the
vehicle in a safe place.
A/T (automatic transmission) fluid tempera-
ture warning lamp - red
(vehicles with automatic transmission)
ED73AAK
The A/T fluid temperature warning lamp comes on
when the A/T fluid temperature becomes abnor-
mally high. Normally the warning lamp comes on
when the engine switch is placed in the “ON ”posi-
tion, and it goes out when the engine is started.
When the lamp comes on, reduce the engine speed
and move the vehicle to a safe area.
Then, set the selector lever to “P”(PARK) posi-
tion and idle the engine until the warning lamp goes
off. When the warning lamp goes off, the vehicle can
run as before. If the warning lamp does not go off,
please have your vehicle inspected at an autho-
rized MITSUBISHI dealer.

engine has started. If it lights up while the engine is
running, it indicates that water has accumulated in
side the fuel filter; if this happens, remove the water

lem. When the lamp is switched on, the
heat will remove the fog. However, if
water gathers inside the lamp, please
go to an authorized MITSUBISHI
dealer for a check.
