This lamp illuminates when the ignition switch
is turned “ON”, and the lamp goes off after a few
seconds.
Always make sure that the lamp goes out before
beginning to drive.
With the ignition switch “ON”, the brake warn-
ing lamp illuminates under the following condi-
tions:
●When the parking brake lever has been
engaged.
●When the brake fluid level in the reservoir
falls to a low level.
CAUTION
!●If either of the situations described
below occurs, there is a risk of reduced
brake effectiveness. Stop the vehicle in
a safe place to have it checked.
• The brake warning lamp does not
illuminate when the parking brake is
applied or does not turn off when the
parking brake is released.
• The brake warning lamp remains

Check engine warning lamp (petrol-
powered vehicles)
E00502600501
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 or flashes.
Although your vehicle will usually be drivable
and not need towing, we recommend you to have
the system checked as soon as possible.
This lamp will also illuminate for a few seconds
when the ignition key is turned to the “ON” posi-
tion. If it does not go off after a few seconds, we
recommend you to have the vehicle checked.
●If the brake warning lamp comes on at
the same time as the ABS warning
lamp, the brake force distribution
function may not be working, so hard
braking could make the vehicle unsta-
ble. Avoid hard braking and high-
speed driving. Stop the vehicle in a safe
place and we recommend you to con-
sult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.●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 down
to the very end of its possible stroke,
keep it pressed down hard.
• Should the brakes fail, use engine
braking to reduce your speed and
slowly pull the parking brake lever to
park your vehicle.
Depress the brake pedal to operate
the stop lamp (brake lamp) to alert
the vehicles behind you.CAUTION
!
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 key is turned to the “ON”
position, we recommend you to have
the system checked.

NOTE●The engine electronic 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 battery
cable when the check engine warning lamp
is ON.
Check engine warning lamp (diesel-
powered vehicles)
E00502600628
This lamp is a part of an onboard diagnostic sys-
tem which monitors the emissions control 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, we recommend you to have
the system checked as soon as possible.
This lamp will also illuminate for a few seconds
when the ignition key is turned to the “ON” posi-
tion. If it does not go off after a few seconds, we
recommend you to have the vehicle checked.
●If the lamp illuminates or flashes while
the engine is running, avoid driving at
high speeds and we recommend you to
have the system checked.
During vehicle operation with the
lamp illuminated or flashing, the vehi-
cle may not accelerate when you
depress the accelerator pedal.
When the vehicle is stationary 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 A/T has a stronger ten-
dency to creep forward.

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.
• No buzzer operation (buzzer disabled)
• 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
the warning lamp is OFF.

3 Multi centre display
E00503600120
When the ignition switch is in the “ACC” position, the digital
clock is displayed in the multi centre display. When the igni-
tion switch is in the “ON” position, the momentary fuel con-
sumption and outside temperature are displayed besides the
digital clock.
WARNING
!●When operating the system for a prolonged period,
make sure the vehicle is parked in a well ventilated
area to avoid the accumulation of toxic fumes inside
and outside of the passenger compartment.
CAUTION
!●The driver should not operate the display while the
vehicle is in motion.●When operating the system, stop the vehicle in a safe
area.

NOTE●If the driving range drops below 50 km (30 miles) while
the driving range is displayed, the display shows “---”.
When this occurs, top up the fuel tank as soon as possible.
●The driving range varies depending on road conditions,
the manner of driving and other related factors. Conse-
quently, the display should be used only as a guide. It is
recommended to add fuel as soon as the low fuel warning
lamp in the instrument cluster illuminates.
(Refer to “Low fuel warning lamp” on page 3-6.)
●Refueling will update the driving range indication.
●The driving range displayed is based on previous fuel con-
sumption data. Disconnecting the battery cable will result
in the deletion of existing fuel consumption data, which
will affect the unit’s calculations.
●The driving range figure can occasionally increase if the
vehicle is stopped on an incline. This is because the fuel
has moved in the tank because of the incline and is not
considered as a fault.
Average speed
E00509500062
This value shows the average speed (in km/h or mph) since the
display was reset. Refer to “To reset the display” on page 3-23.
