Warning lamps
E00502400017Brake warning lamp
E00502501637
This
lamp illuminates when the ignition
switch is turned to the “ON” position,
and goes off after a few seconds.
Always make sure that the lamp goes off
before driving.
With the ignition switch in the “ON” po-
sition, the brake warning lamp illumi-
nates under the following conditions:
l When the parking brake lever has
been engaged.
l When the brake fluid level in the
reservoir falls to a low level.
l When the brake force distribution
function is not operating correctly.
(vehicles with anti-lock brake sys-
tem) CAUTION
l
In
the situations listed below,
brake performance may be com-
promised or the vehicle may be-
come unstable if brakes are ap-
plied suddenly; consequently,
avoid driving at high speeds or
applying the brakes suddenly.
Furthermore, immediately the
vehicle should be brought to a
stop in a safe location and to
have it checked. CAUTION
• The
brake warning lamp
does not illuminate when
the parking brake is applied
or does not turn off when
the parking brake is re-
leased.
• The ABS warning lamp and brake warning lamp illumi-
nate at the same time.
For details, refer to “ABS
warning lamp” on page
4-45. (vehicles with anti-lock
brake system)
• The brake warning lamp re- mains illuminated during
driving.
l The vehicle should be brought
to a halt in the following man-
ner when brake performance
has deteriorated.
• Depress the brake pedalharder 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 carefully
pull the parking brake lever
to park your vehicle.
Depress the brake pedal to
operate the stop lamp to
alert the vehicles behind you. Check engine warning lamp
E00502601797
This

lamp is a part of an onboard diag-
nostic system which monitors the emis-
sions, engine and automatic transmission
control systems.
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 recom-
mend you to have the system checked as
soon as possible.

[Vehicles to comply with the Euro 3 and
Euro 4 regulation]
This lamp will also illuminate for a few
seconds when the ignition switch is
turned to the “ON” position. If it does
not go off after a few seconds, we recom-
mend you to have the vehicle checked.

[Vehicles to comply with the Euro 5]
This lamp will also illuminate when the
ignition switch is turned to the “ON” po-
sition, and goes off after the engine has
started. If it does not go off after the en-
gine has started, we recommend you to
have the system checked. CAUTION
l
Prolonged
driving with this
lamp on may cause further dam-
age to the emission control sys-
tem. It could also affect fuel
economy and drivability. Instruments and controls

Starting
E00601600404
Tips for starting l Do
not operate the starter motor continuous-
ly for anything longer than 10 seconds; do-
ing so could run down the battery. If the en-
gine does not start, turn the ignition switch
back to “LOCK” position, wait a few sec-
onds, and then try again.
Trying repeatedly with the starter motor still
turning will damage the starter mechanism.
l If the engine cannot be started because the
battery is weak or dead, refer to the “Emer-
gency starting” section for instructions on
starting the engine.
l 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 con-
sumption. WARNING
l Never
run the engine in a closed or poor-
ly ventilated area any longer than is nee-
ded to move your vehicle in or out of the
area. Carbon monoxide gases are odour-
less and can be fatal. CAUTION
l
Never
attempt to start the engine by push-
ing or pulling the vehicle. Especially the
automatic transmission, since the struc-
ture is different from a manual transmis-
sion, it is not possible to start the engine
by using this technique. Never attempt
this or it could damage the automatic
transmission.
l Do not run the engine at high rpm or
drive the vehicle at high speed until the en-
gine has had a chance to warm up.
l Release the ignition key as soon as the en-
gine starts to avoid damaging the starter
motor.
l Do not stop the engine immediately after
high-speed or uphill driving. First allow
the engine to idle to give the turbocharg-
er a chance to cool down.
Starting the engine E00601701792
1. Insert
the ignition key and fasten the seat belt.
2. Make sure the parking brake is applied.
3. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
4. On vehicles with manual transmission, place
the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral) posi-
tion and depress the clutch pedal all the way. On vehicles with automatic transmission,
make

sure the selector lever in the “P”
(PARK) position.
Vehicles with manual
transmission Vehicles with automatic
transmission NOTE
l On

vehicles with automatic transmission, the
engine will not start if the selector lever is in
any position other than “P” (PARK) or “N”
(NEUTRAL) position.
For safety, start the engine with the selector
lever in the “P” (PARK) position because in
this position the rear wheels are locked in
place.
5. Turn the ignition key to the “ON” position. The diesel preheat indication lamp will first
illuminate, and then after a short time go out,
indicating that preheating is completed.
NOTE l If the engine is cold, the diesel preheat indi-
cation lamp is on for a longer time. Starting and driving

CAUTION
l
You do not have to continuously drive ex-
actly as indicated above. Always strive to
drive safely in accordance with road con-
ditions.
If the DPF warning lamp flashes dur-
ing vehicle operation
Flashing
of the DPF warning lamp indicates an ab-
normality in the DPF system. Have the system in-
spected at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point. CAUTION
l
Continuing
to drive with the DPF warn-
ing lamp flashing could result in engine
trouble and DPF damage. Manual transmission
E00602000199
The

shift pattern is shown on the gearshift lever
knob. Be sure to always fully depress the clutch ped-
al before attempting to shift the lever. CAUTION
l
Do
not move the gearshift lever into re-
verse while the vehicle is moving for-
ward; doing so will damage the transmis-
sion.
l Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal
while driving as this will cause premature
clutch wear or damage. CAUTION
l
If
the clutch is engaged suddenly while
the engine revolution is high, an extreme-
ly large load will be applied instantaneous-
ly to the power train, possibly leading to
the breakage of that component. Please en-
sure, therefore, that the clutch pedal is al-
ways applied in a slow yet firm manner.
Your vehicle has a special feature to pro-
tect the power train from damage; the en-
gine is controlled in such a way that exces-
sive increase in engine revolution is pre-
vented in situations where the accelerator
pedal is depressed while the gearshift lev-
er is in the 1 st
position and the clutch ped-
al has been depressed.
NOTE l If

it is hard to shift into 1 st
, depress the
clutch pedal again; the shift will then be eas-
ier to make.
l To shift into reverse from 5 th
gear, move the
gearshift lever to the “N” (Neutral) position,
and then shift it into reverse.
Changing gears E00610600136
Always take care to change the gear with the vehi-
cle

speed matched to the engine speed. Proper shift-
ing will prolong engine life.
Avoid shifting down at high speed, as this may
cause excessive engine speed (the tachometer nee-
dle into the red zone) and damage the engine. Starting and driving
