as high as possible.

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.
