SEAT AND SEAT BELTS
WARNING(4) Seat belts should always be
worn by every adult who drives
or rides in this vehicle, and by all
children who are large enough
to wear seat belts properly.
(5) Remove any twists when using
the belt.
(6) No modifications or additions
should be made by the user
which will either prevent the seat
belt adjusting devices from op-
erating to remove slack, or pre-
vent the seat belt assembly from
being adjusted to remove slack.
(7) To reduce risk of serious or fatal
injury in an accident, including
from a deploying driver’s air
bag, the driver should adjust the
driver’s seat to the rear most po-
sition that still allows good visi-
bility and good control of the
steering wheel, the brake and
accelerator, and vehicle con-
trols.
3-point type seat belt (with
emergency locking mechanism)
This type of belt requires no length adjust-
ment. Once worn, the belt adjusts itself to
the movement of the wearer, but in the
event of a sudden or strong shock, the belt
automatically locks to hold the wearer’s
body.
WARNING(8) Never hold a child in your arms
or on your lap when riding in this
vehicle, even if you are wearing
your seat belt. To do so risks se-
vere or fatal injury to your child
in a collision or sudden stop.
(9) Always adjust the belt to a snug
fit.

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.

INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
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.
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
authorized MITSUBISHI dealer for in-
spection.
(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 illu-
minated, 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.
Fuel filter indication lamp - amber
(diesel-powered vehicles only)
ED59A-Bc
This lamp illuminates when the ignition switch is
turned to the “ON” position and goes off after the
engine has started. If it lamps up while the engine
is running, it indicates that water has accumul-
ated inside the fuel filter; if this happens, remove
the water from the fuel filter.
When the lamp goes out, you can resume driving.
If it either does not go out or comes on from time to
time, have the vehicle inspected at an authorized
MITSUBISHI dealer.
Brake warning lamp - redED23A-Ie
With the ignition switch “ON”, the brake warning
lamp illuminates under the following conditions:
(1)
When the parking brake lever has been engaged.(2) When the brake fluid level in the reservoir
falls to a low level.
(3) If a malfunction develops in the brake servo
system. (Diesel-powered vehicles only)
(4)
If the brake warning lamp and charge warning
lamp come on at the same time while the en-
gine is running, it is possible that the alternator
belt is broken. (Diesel-powered vehicles only)

INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
CAUTIONIf the brake warning lamp does not illumi-
nate when you pull the parking brake lever,
or if it does not go out when you release
the lever, contact your nearest authorized
MITSUBISHI dealer immediately.
If the brake warning lamp illuminates while driv-
ing, it could mean braking system deterioration.
Park your vehicle in a safe place and follow these
procedures:
1.
If, when pressing the brake pedal, braking is poor,
press your foot harder against the brake pedal.
2. Should the brakes fail, use engine braking to
reduce your speed and slowly pull the park-
ing brake lever to park your vehicle.
Depress the brake pedal to operate the stop
lamp (brake lamp) to alert the vehicles be-
hind you.
CAUTIONSudden application of the parking brake is
dangerous and can lock the rear wheels.
Diesel preheat warning lamp - amber
(diesel-powered vehicles only)
ED58A-Hb
The warning lamp illuminates when the ignition
switch is placed in the “ON” position. As the glow
plug becomes hot, the lamp goes out and the en-
gine can be started.
NOTE
(1) If the engine is cold, the diesel preheat warn-
ing lamp is on for a longer time.
(2) When the engine has not been started within
about 5 seconds after the diesel preheat
warning lamp went out, return the ignition key
to the “LOCK” position. Then, turn the key to
the “ON” position to preheat the engine
again.
(3) When the engine is warm, the diesel preheat
warning lamp does not come on even if the
ignition key is placed in the “ON” position.

INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
4-11 Check engine indication lamp - amber*
ED85AAH
This lamp is a part of an onboard diagnostic sys-
tem which monitors the emissions, engine sys-
tems.
If a problem is detected in one of these systems,
this lamp illuminates. Although your vehicle will
usually be drivable and not need towing, have the
system checked as soon as possible at an autho-
rized MITSUBISHI dealer. This lamp will also illu-
minate for a few seconds when the ignition key is
turned to the “ON” position. If it does not go off af-
ter a few seconds, take the vehicle to an autho-
rized MITSUBISHI dealer.
CAUTION(1) Prolonged driving with this lamp illumi-
nated can cause further damage to the
emission control 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”
position, have the system checked at
an authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.
CAUTION(3) If the lamp illuminates while the engine
is running, avoid driving at high speeds.
During vehicle operation with the lamp
illuminated, the vehicle may not accel-
erate when you depress the accelerator
pedal. When the vehicle is stationary
with the lamp illuminated you must de-
press 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 dis-
connected, which will make a diagnosis more dif-
ficult. Do not disconnect a battery cable when the
check engine indication lamp is ON.
