NOTE●The sunroof stops just before reaching the fully open posi-
tion.
If the vehicle is driven with the sunroof in this position,
wind throbs is lower than with the sunroof fully open.
●When leaving the vehicle unattended, make sure you
close the sunroof and remove the ignition key.
●Do not try to operate the sunroof if it is frozen closed
(after snow fall or during extreme cold).
●Do not sit or place heavy luggage on the sunroof or roof
opening edge.●Release the switch as soon as the sunroof reaches the fully
open or fully closed position.
●If the sunroof does not operate when the sunroof switch is
operated, release the switch and check whether something
is trapped by the sunroof. If nothing is trapped, we recom-
mend you to have the sunroof checked.
●Depending on the models of ski carriers or roof carriers,
the sunroof may contact with the carrier when the sunroof
is tilted up. Be careful when tilting up the sunroof if such
a ski carrier or a roof carrier is installed.
●Be sure to close the sunroof completely when washing the
vehicle or when leaving the vehicle.
●Be careful, not to put any wax on the weatherstrip (black
rubber) around the sunroof opening. If stained with wax,
the weatherstrip cannot maintain a weatherproof seal with
the sunroof.
●After washing the vehicle or after it has rained, wipe off
any water that is on the sunroof before operating it.
●Operating the sunroof repeatedly with the engine station-
ary will run down the battery. Operate the sunroof while
the engine is running.
WARNING
!●Do not put head, hands or anything else out of the
sunroof opening while driving the vehicle.●Never leave a child (or other person who might not
be capable of safe operation of the sunroof switch) in
the vehicle alone.●Before operating the sunroof, make sure that noth-
ing is capable of being trapped (head, hand, finger,
etc.).
CAUTION
!●The safety mechanism is cancelled just before the
sunroof is fully closed. This allows the sunroof to
close completely.
Therefore be especially careful that no fingers are
trapped in the sunroof.

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.
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.

erator pedal.
When the vehicle is stationary with the
lamp illuminated, you must depress
the brake pedal more firmly than usual
since the engine idling speed is higher

CAUTION
!●If it illuminates while the engine is run-
ning, there is a problem in the charg-
ing system. In this case, immediately
park your vehicle in a safe place and
we recommend you to have it checked.

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.

For vehicles with A/T, when removing the key, first set the
selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position, and then turn the key
to the “LOCK” position, then remove the key.A/T
CAUTION
!●Do not remove the ignition key from the ignition
switch while driving. The steering wheel will locked,
causing loss of control.●If the engine is stopped while driving, the brake ser-
vomechanism will cease to function and braking
efficiency will deteriorate. Also, the power steering
system will not function and it will require greater
manual effort to operate the steering.●Do not leave the key in the “ON” position for a long
time when the engine is not running, doing so will
cause the battery to be discharged.●Do not turn the key to the “START” position when
the engine is running, doing so could damage the
starter motor.

E00601600693
Tips for starting●Do not operate the starter motor continuously for anything
longer than 10 seconds; doing so could run down the bat-
tery. If the engine does not start, turn the ignition switch
back to “LOCK”, wait a few seconds, and then try again.
Trying repeatedly with the starter motor still turning will
damage the starter mechanism.
●If the engine cannot be started because the battery is weak
or dead, refer to the “Emergency starting” section for
instructions on starting the engine.
●The engine is well warmed up if the coolant temperature
gauge needle starts to move (the engine speed decreases).
Extended warming-up operation will result in excessive
fuel consumption.
WARNING
!●Never run the engine in a closed or poorly ventilated
area any longer than is needed to move your vehicle
in or out of the area. Carbon monoxide gases are
odourless and can be fatal.
CAUTION
!●Never attempt to start the engine by pushing or pull-
ing the vehicle. Especially in the A/T, since the struc-
ture is different from a M/T, it is not possible to start
the engine by using this technique. Never attempt
this or it could damage the A/T.●Do not run the engine at high rpm or drive the vehi-
cle at high speed until the engine has had a chance to
warm up.●Release the ignition key as soon as the engine starts
to avoid damaging the starter motor.●If your vehicle is equipped with a turbocharger, do
not stop the engine immediately after high-speed or
uphill driving. First allow the engine to idle to give
the turbocharger a chance to cool down.
