Oil pressure warning lamp
E00502800330
This lamp illuminates when the ignition key is
turned “ON”, and the lamp goes off after the
engine has started. If it illuminates while the
engine is running, the oil pressure is too low.
If the warning lamp illuminates while the engine
is running, turn the engine off and have it
inspected.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.
Door-ajar warning lamp
E00503300417
This lamp illuminates when a door or tailgate is
either open or incompletely closed.
If the vehicle speed reaches approximately
8 km/h (5 mph) with a door or the tailgate open
or incompletely closed, the warning lamp flashes
8 times and a buzzer simultaneously sounds
8 times as a warning.NOTE●On vehicles with keyless entry system, the
lamp remains illuminated for a certain
period and then goes out automatically to
prevent complete discharge of the battery.
Refer to “Lamps (room lamps, etc.) auto-
cutout function” on page 5-63.
●It is possible to change the buzzer setting
for either of the following types of opera-
tion. For further information, we recom-
mend you to consult a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.

• Continuous buzzer operation
CAUTION
!●If this lamp illuminates when the
engine oil level is not low, have it
inspected.●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.●If you continue driving with low engine
oil level or with this warning lamp illu-
minated, engine seizure may occur.
CAUTION
!●Before moving your vehicle, check that

HeadlampsRotate the switch to turn on the lamps.
NOTE●Do not leave the headlamps and other lamps on for a long
while the engine is stationary. A run-down battery could

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 problem.

fog. However, if water gathers inside the lamp, we recom-
mend you to have it checked.[Vehicles with Daytime Running Lamp]When the ignition switch is in the “ON” position and the lamp
