This lamp is a part of anonboard diagnostic systemwhich monitors the emissions,engine control system.If a problem is detected in one
of these systems, this lamp illuminates orflashes.Although your vehicle will usually be driva-ble and not need towing, we recommend youto have the system checked as soon as possi-ble.This lamp will also illuminate when the oper-ation mode of the power switch is put in ON,and goes off after the Plug-in Hybrid EV Sys-tem has started. If it does not go off after thePlug-in Hybrid EV System has started, werecommend you to have the vehicle checked.
This data will be erased if a auxiliary batterycable is disconnected which will make a rapiddiagnosis difficult. Do not disconnect a auxil-iary battery cable when the check enginewarning lamp is ON.
CAUTIONzIn the situations listed below, brake perfor-mance may be compromised or the vehiclemay become unstable if brakes are appliedsuddenly; consequen
tly, avoid driving at
high speeds or applyi
ng the brakes suddenly.
Furthermore, immediately the vehicle shouldbe brought to a stop in
a safe location and we
recommend you to have it checked.•The brake warning lamp does not illumi-nate when the parking brake is applied ordoes not turn off when the parking brake isreleased.•The brake warning lamp and the ABSwarning lamp illuminate at the same time.For details, refer to “ABS warning lamp”on page 7-30.•The brake warning lamp remains illumi-nated while driving.
zThe vehicle should be brought to a halt in thefollowing manner when brake performancehas deteriorated.• Depress the brake pedal harder than usual.Even if the brake pedal moves down to thevery end of its possible stroke, keep itpressed down hard.
• Should the brakes fail, use regenerativebraking to reduce your speed and carefullypull the parking brake lever.Depress the brake pedal to operate the stoplamp to alert the vehicles behind you.
Check engine warning lamp
CAUTION
CAUTIONzProlonged driving with this lamp on maycause further damage to the emission controlsystem. It could also
affect fuel economy and
drivability.zIf the lamp does not illuminate when theoperation mode is put in ON, we recommendyou to have the system checked.zIf the lamp illuminates while the Plug-inHybrid EV System is
operating, avoid driv-
ing at high speeds and have the systeminspected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORSAuthorised Service Poin
t as soon as possible.
NOTE
zThe engine electronic control moduleaccommodating the onboard diagnostic sys-tem has various fault data (especially aboutthe exhaust emission) stored.

The direction of the headlamp beam (thedirection which the light shines in) altersaccording to the number of people and theload in the vehicle. Lower the headlamp
angle if it is too high due to the number ofpeople and/or the load in the vehicle so thatthe headlamps’ glare does not distract thedrivers of approaching vehicles. First set thelight switch to the “ ” position, then turnthe headlamp levelling switch knob to lowerthe beam. The greater the number on theheadlamp levelling switch knob, the lowerthe beam will point.Set the switch to the appropriate position sothat the headlamp beam is level with the road.
E00517601551
This mechanism automatically adjusts thedirection of the headlamps (beam position)depending on changes in the condition of thevehicle, such as the number of occupants orluggage weight. When the headlamps are illu-minated with the operation mode in ON, thebeam position of the headlamps is automati-cally adjusted when the vehicle is stopped.
•Turn the combination headlamps and dip-per switch to the “ ” or “ ” position.•Put the operation mode in ON.zIt is possible to modify
functions as follows:
•The time that the headlamps remain on canbe changed.•The coming home light function can bedeactivated.For further informati

Economical driving7-2 Starting and driving

E00600102220
For economical driving, there are some tech-nical requirements that have to be met. Theprerequisite for low fuel consumption is aproperly adjusted engine. In order to achievelonger life of the vehicle and the most eco-nomical operation, we recommend you tohave the vehicle checked at regular intervalsin accordance with the service standards.Fuel economy and generation of exhaust gasand noise are highly influenced by personaldriving habits as well as the particular operat-ing conditions. The following points shouldbe observed in order to minimize wear ofbrakes, tyres and engine as well as to reduceenvironmental pollution.Av o i d d r i v i n g w h e r e t h e a c c e l e r a t o r p e d a l i spushed way down, such as for unnecessarilysudden starts, acceleration and deceleration.Smoothly depress the accelerator pedal.Observe the speed limit and keep the speed asconstant as possible while driving.
Parking for a long period with the ready indi-cator illuminated will shorten the cruisingrange.At higher the vehicle speed, more drive bat-tery is consumed. Avoid driving at full speed.Even a slight release of the accelerator pedalwill save a significant amount of drive bat-tery.Check the tyre inflation pressures at regularintervals. Low tyre inflation pressureincreases road resistance and fuel consump-tion. In addition, low tyre pressures adverselyaffect tyre wear and driving stability.Do not drive with unnecessary articles in theluggage compartment. Especially during citydriving where frequent starting and stoppingis necessary, the increased weight of the vehi-cle will greatly affect fuel consumption. Also
avoid driving with unnecessary luggage orcarriers, etc., on the roof; the increased airresistance will increase fuel consumption.To o m u c h c o o l i n g / h e a t i n g c a n a ff e c t t h ecruising range, so maintain an appropriatetemperature to extend the cruising range.
E00600200070
Drunk driving is one of the most frequentcauses of accidents.Yo u r d r i v i n g a b i l i t y c a n b e s e r i o u s l y i m p a i r e deven with blood alcohol levels far below thelegal minimum. If you have been drinking,don’t drive. Ride with a designated non-drinking driver, call a cab or a friend, or usepublic transportation. Drinking coffee or tak-ing a cold shower will not make you sober.Similarly, prescription and nonprescriptiondrugs affect your alertness, perception andreaction time. Consult with your doctor orpharmacist before driving while under theinfluence of any of these medications.
