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.

been washed, the inside of the lens
sometimes becomes foggy. This is the
same phenomenon as when window
glass mists up on a humid day, and
does not indicate a functional prob-
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.

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.

sponder inside the key sends must
match the one registered to the immo-
bilizer computer. (Refer to page 2-2).
CAUTION
(1) Do not remove the ignition key
from the ignition switch while
driving. The steering wheel will
be locked, causing loss of con-
trol.
(2) If the engine is stopped while

Starting
EI02FOH
Tips for starting(1) Do not operate the starter motor con-
tinuously for anything longer than 10
seconds; doing so could run down the
battery. If the engine does not start, turn
the ignition switch back to“LOCK”, wait
a few seconds, and then try again.
Trying repeatedly with the starter motor
still turning will damage the starter
mechanism.
(2) If the engine cannot be started because
the battery is weak or dead, refer to the
“Emergency starting”section for
instructions on starting the engine.
(3) The engine is well warmed up if the
coolant temperature gauge needle
starts to move (the engine speed
decreases). Extended warming-up
operation will result in excessive fuel
consumption.
WARNING
Never run the engine in a closed or
poorly ventilated area any longer
than is needed to move your vehicle
in or out the area. Carbon monox-
ide gases are odorless and can be
fatal.

CAUTION
(1) Never attempt to start the engine
by pushing or pulling the
vehicle. Especially in vehicles
with the automatic transmis-
sion, it is not possible to start
the engine by using this tech-
nique since the structure is dif-
ferent from a manual
transmission. Never attempt this
or it could damage the auto-
matic transmission.
(2) Do not run the engine at high
rpm or drive the vehicle at high
speed until the engine has had a
chance to warm up.
(3) Release the ignition key as soon
as the engine starts to avoid
damaging the starter motor.
(4) If your vehicle is equipped with
a turbocharger, do not stop the
engine immediately after oper-
ating the vehicle at high speeds.
Allow the engine to idle for
approximately 60 seconds or
more to give the turbocharger a
chance to cool down.NOTE
After replacing the battery, the electronic
control system data for the engine will be
erased. As a result, the engine speed may
become unstable.
If the engine speed becomes unstable, ini-
tial engine adjustments will need to be per-
formed.
Refer to the section“What to do if the
engine speed becomes unstable after the
battery is replaced”on page 8-28.
