INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
A/T (Automatic transmission) warning
lamp* - red
ED73A-Xa
The A/T warning lamp comes on when the A/T
fluid temperature becomes abnormally high. Nor-
mally the warning lamp comes on when the igni-
tion switch is placed in the “ON” position, 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” position and
idle the engine until the warning lamp goes off.
When the warning lamp goes off, the vehicle can
run as before. It the warning lamp does not go off,
please have your vehicle inspected at an author-
ized MITSUBISHI dealer.
NOTE
If there is something wrong with the control sys-
tem of the automatic transmission, the A/T warn-
ing lamp flashes. While the warning lamp is flash-
ing, a safety device is activated, causing the
speed to remain constant during driving and the
acceleration to be insufficient when starting out
on an uphill grade. If the warning lamp flashes,
have your vehicle inspected at an authorized
MITSUBISHI dealer.
Charge warning lamp - redED54A-La
This lamp illuminates when the ignition switch is
turned “ON”, and goes off after the engine has
started.
CAUTIONIf 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 au-
thorized MITSUBISHI dealer.
[Petrol-powered vehicle]
Abnormality in the charging system.
[Diesel-powered vehicle]
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.

Oil pressure warning lamp - redED25A-Ai
This lamp illuminates when the ignition key 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.

oil level is not low, contact your nearest
