Brake warning buzzer
(Vehicles with anti-lock brake system)
When there is a danger of brake performance
becoming compromised, a buzzer will sound to alert
the driver. If this buzzer should continue to sound,
park your vehicle in a safe place and contact your
nearest authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.
NOTE
Depressing the brake pedal repeatedly may turn on
the brake warning lamp, ABS warning lamp and
brake warning buzzer. It is normal if the lamp goes
out and the buzzer stops sounding after a few sec-
onds.
CAUTION
(1)In the situations listed below, brake per- formance may be compromised or the
vehicle may become unstable if brakes are
applied suddenly; consequently, avoid driv-
ing at high speeds or applying the brakes
suddenly. Furthermore, the vehicle should
be brought to a stop in a safe location and
your nearest authorized MITSUBISHI dealer
should be contacted.

NOTE
(1) In certain cases immediately after the engine hasbeen started or when the brake pedal is
depressed repeatedly, a noise generated by
operation of brake devices may be heard com-
ing from the engine compartment. This type of
noise is normal and is no need for concern in
fact, it indicates that the corresponding devices
are operating normally. (This applies to vehicles
fitted with anti-lock brake system)
(2) On vehicles equipped with anti-lock brake sys-
tem, the brake system uses brake fluid pres-
surized by the pump.
Please refer to the “Brake system ”on page 5-44.Oil pressure warning lamp - red
ED25A-Ah
This lamp illuminates when the ignition switch is
turned “ON ”, and goes off after the engine has
started. If it illuminates while the engine is run-
ning, the oil pressure is too low.
If the warning lamp illuminates while the engine is
running, turn the engine off and contact your near-
est authorized MITSUBISHI dealer for inspection.
CAUTION
(1)If this lamp illuminates when the engine oil level is not low, contact your nearest autho-
rized MITSUBISHI dealer for inspection.
(2)This warning lamp does not indicate the amount of oil in the crankcase. This must
be determined by checking the oil level on
the dipstick, while the engine is switched
off.
(3)If you continue driving with low engine oil level or with this warning lamp illumi-
nated, engine seizure may occur.
NOTE
The oil pressure warning lamp should not be treated
as an indication of the engine ’s oil level. The oil level
must be checked using the dipstick.

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.

Precautions to observe when using
wipers and washers
EE13C-I
(1) If the moving wipers become blocked
by ice or other deposits on the glass,
the motor may burn out even if the
wiper switch is turned to OFF. If
obstruction occurs, park your vehicle in
a safe place, turn off the ignition, and
clean the deposits from the glass so
that the wipers operate smoothly.
(2) Do not use the wipers when the glass
is dry. They may scratch the glass sur-
face or the blades may prematurely
wear out.
(3) Before using the wipers in cold weather,
check that the wiper blades are not fro-
zen onto the glass. The motor may
burn out if the wipers are used with the
blades frozen onto the glass.
(4) Avoid using the washer continuously for
more than 20 seconds. Do not oper-
ate the washer when the fluid reser-
voir is empty.
Otherwise, the motor may burn out.
(5) Periodically check the level of washer
fluid in the reservoir and refill if
required.
During cold weather, add a recom-
mended washer solution that will not
freeze in the washer reservoir. Fail-
ure to do so could result in loss of
washer function and frost damage to
the system components.
