1. Push the reset button (D) to view the number of months
and driving distance remaining until the next inspection.
2. Give the reset button (D) a long push (at least two sec-
onds) to make the spanner mark (A) start flashing. (If youdo not touch the reset button for 10 seconds while the spanner mark is flashing, the display will revert to its orig- inal indication.)
3. Give the reset button (D) a gentle push while the spanner
mark is flashing. The “-----” indication (B) will change to “cLEAr” (C).
4. The number of months and driving distance remaining
until the next inspection will be shown.
NOTE●
It is not possible to reset the “-----” indication (B) with the ignition switch in the “ON” position.
●
When a certain distance has
been driven and a certain
period has elapsed after app
earance of the “-----” indica-
tion (B), the indication is automatically reset and the number of months until the next periodic inspection isshown.
●
If you accidentally reset th
e display, consult a MITSU-

CAUTION
!●
For petrol-powered vehicles, do not drive with an extremely low fuel level;
running out of fuel could
cause damage to the catalytic converter.
●
For diesel-powered vehicl
es, do not drive with an
extremely low fuel level;
running out of fuel could
cause damage to the fuel system.

NOTE●
When the vehicle has been re
fuelled, the pointer in the
fuel gauge takes a short while to stabilize.
●
The fuel gauge will not give
an accurate indication if the
vehicle is refuelled with the ignition switch in the “ON”position.
●
When the engine on diesel-pow
ered vehicles fails to oper-
ate owing to running out of fuel, it may sometimes be dif-ficult to start after refuelling.
This is due to air entering
the fuel system. Therefore, ai
r must be bled from the sys-
tem. (Refer to “Bleeding th
e fuel system” on page 6-9.)
Fuel lid markThe fuel lid mark (A) indicates
that the fuel tank filler door is
located on the right side of the vehicle.
Low fuel warning lamp
E00508100595
The warning lamp (A) illuminates when the fuel level is get-ting low (approx. 10 litres) with the ignition switch in the “ON” position. Refuel as soon as possible.NOTE●
On inclines or curves, due to
the movement of fuel in the
tank, the low fuel warning lamp may indicate incorrectly.

cates the engine coolant tem-
perature when the ignition switch is in the “ON” position.

E00508800097
Turn the dial to adjust the i
llumination (meter, multi centre dis-
play, audio system’s control panel, heater control panel, etc.) tothe desired brightness.NOTE●

!●
If the indication needle en
ters the H zone while the
engine is running, it indica
tes that the engine is pos-
sibly overheating. Immediat
ely park your vehicle in
a safe place and make th
e necessary corrections.
(Refer to “Engine overheating” on page 6-6.) While driving, care should always be taken to main-tain the normal operating temperature.

tion lamp (diesel-
powered vehicles)
E00502300029
This indication lamp illuminates when the igni- tion switch is placed in the “ON” position. Asthe glow plug becomes hot, the lamp goes out and the engine can be started.NOTE●
If the engine is cold,
the diesel preheat indi-
cation lamp is on for a longer time.
●
When the engine has not been started within about 5 seconds after the diesel preheatindication lamp went out, return the ignition switch to the “LOCK” position. Then, turn the switch to the “ON” position to preheat the engine again.
●
When the engine is warm, the diesel preheat indication lamp does not come on even if the ignition switch is placed in the “ON” position.

Fuel filter indication lamp (diesel-powered vehicles)
E00509900040
This indication lamp illuminates when the igni- tion switch is turned to the “ON” position andgoes off after the engine has started. If it lights up while the engine is ru
nning, it indicates that
water has accumulated inside the fuel filter; ifthis happens, remove the
water from the fuel fil-
ter. When the lamp goes out, you can resume driv-ing. If it either does not go out or comes on from time to time, we recommend you to have the vehicle inspected.

Brake warning lamp (brake warning buzzer)
E00502501057
This lamp illuminates when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, and goes off after a few seconds.With the ignition switch in the “ON” position, the brake warning lamp illuminates under the following conditions:●
When the parking brake lever has been engaged.
●
When the brake fluid level in the reservoir falls to a low level.
●
When the brake circuit
is not operating cor-
rectly.
Brake warning buzzer 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 vehicl
e in a safe place and we
recommend you to have it checked.NOTE●
Depressing the brake pe
dal repeatedly may
turn on the brake warning lamp, ABS warn- ing lamp and brake
warning buzzer. It is
normal if the lamp goes out and the buzzer stops sounding after a few seconds.

NOTE●
In certain cases immediately after the engine has been started or when the brake pedal is depressed repeatedly, a noise gen- erated by operation of brake devices may beheard coming from
the engine compart-
ment. This type of noise is normal and there is no need for concer
n. In fact, it indicates
that the corresponding devices are operating normally.
●
The brake system uses
brake fluid pressu-
rized by the pump. Please refer to “Braking” on page 4-56.
CAUTION
!●
In the situations listed below, brake performance may be compromised orthe vehicle may become unstable if brakes are applied suddenly; conse- quently, avoid driving at high speedsor applying the brakes suddenly. Fur- thermore, the vehicle should be brought to a stop in a safe location andto have it checked.• The brake warning lamp does notilluminate when the parking brake is applied or does not turn off when the parking brake is released.• The brake warning lamp remains illuminated during driving. • The brake warning buzzer does notturn off.
●
The vehicle should be brought to a halt in the following manner when brake performance has deteriorated.• Depress the brake pedal harder than usual. Even if the brake pedal moves downto the very end of its possible stroke, keep it pressed down hard. • Should the brakes fail, use enginebraking to reduce your speed and pull the parking brake lever. Depress the brake pedal to operate the stop lamp to
alert the vehicles
behind you.CAUTION

Check engine warning lamp
E00502600093
This lamp is a part of an onboard diagnostic sys- tem which monitors the emissions, engine and automatic transmission control systems. If a problem is detected
in one of these systems,
this lamp illuminates. Although your vehicle will usually be drivable and not need towing, we recommend you to havethe system checked as soon as possible. This lamp will also illuminate for a few seconds when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON”position. If it does not go off after a few seconds, we recommend you to have the vehicle checked.
NOTE●
The engine electr
onic control module
accommodating the onboard diagnostic sys- tem has various fault data (especially about the exhaust emission) stored.This data will be erased
if a battery cable is
disconnected which will make a rapid diag- nosis difficult. Do not disconnect a batterycable when the check engine warning lamp is ON.
CAUTION
!●
Prolonged driving with this lamp on may cause further damage to the emis- sion control system.
It could also affect
fuel economy and drivability.
●
If the lamp does not illuminate when the ignition switch is turned to the“ON” position, we recommend you to have the system checked.
●
If the lamp illuminates while the engine is running, avoid driving at high speeds and we recommend you to have the system checked.Accelerator pedal and brake pedal response may be negatively influenced under these conditions.

Charge warning lamp
E00502700472
This lamp illuminates when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, and goes off after the engine has started.
Oil pressure warning lamp
E00502800529
This lamp illuminates when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, and goes off after the engine has started. If it illuminates while the engine is running, the oil pressure is too low.Turn the engine off and have it inspected.
CAUTION
!●
If it illuminates while the engine is run- ning, there is a problem in the charg- ing system. In this case, immediatelypark your vehicle in a safe place and we recommend you to have it checked.
CAUTION
!●
This warning lamp does not indicate the amount of oil le
vel in the engine.
This must be determined by checking the oil level on the
dipstick, while the
engine is switched off.
●
If this lamp illum
inates when the
engine oil level is not low, have itinspected.
●
If you continue driving with low engine oil level or with this warning lamp illu-minated, engine seizure may occur.
