Oil pressure warning lamp

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.

CAUTION
!●If this lamp illuminates when the

inspected.●This warning lamp does not indicate
the amount of oil in the crankcase.

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.
