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.

To add coolantThe cooling system is a closed system and normally the loss of
coolant should be very slight. A noticeable drop in the coolant
level could indicate leakage. If this occurs, we recommend you
to have the system checked as soon as possible.
If the level should drop below the “LOW” level on the reserve
tank, open the lid and add coolant.Anti-freezeThe engine coolant contains an ethylene glycol anti-corrosion
agent. The cylinder head and water pump housing are cast alu-
minium alloy, and periodic changing of the engine coolant is
necessary to prevent corrosion of these parts.
Use only “BASF Glysantin Alu Protect Premium/G30”.
It has excellent protection against corrosion and rust formation
of all metals including aluminium and can avoid clogs in the
radiator, heater, cylinder head, engine block, etc.
Because of the necessity of this anti-corrosion agent, the cool-
ant must not be replaced with plain water even in summer.
The anti-freeze must fill 50 % concentration coolant in all tem-
perature conditions.
During cold weatherIf the temperatures in your area drop below freezing, there is
the danger that the coolant in the engine or radiator could
freeze and cause severe damage to the engine and/or radiator.
Add a sufficient amount of anti-freeze to the coolant to prevent
it from freezing.
The engine coolant mixture used at the factory provides protec-
tion against freezing for temperatures as low as approximately–30 °C. The concentration should be checked before the start of
cold weather and anti-freeze added to the system if necessary.
WARNING
!●Do not open the reserve tank cap while the engine is
hot. The coolant system is under pressure and any
hot coolant escaping could cause severe burns.
CAUTION
!●Do not use alcohol or methanol anti-freeze or any
engine coolants mixed with alcohol or methanol
anti-freeze. The use of an improper anti-freeze can
cause corrosion of the aluminium components.●Do not top up with water only.
Water by itself reduces the rust-protective and anti-
freeze qualities of the coolant and has a lower boil-
ing point. It can also cause damage to the cooling
system if it should freeze. Do not use tapwater, as it
can cause corrosion and rust formation.
