Fuel filter indication lamp
E00509900170
This indication lamp illumi-
nates when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON”
position and goes off after the engine has started. If itlights up while the engine is
running, it indicates that water has accumula- ted inside the fuel filter; if this happens, re-
move the water from the fuel filter.
Refer to “Removal of water from the fuel fil- ter” on page 8-06.When the lamp goes out, you can resume
driving. If it either does not go out or comes on from time to time, we recommend you to
have the vehicle inspected.Warning lamps
E00502400017Brake warning lamp
E00502501637
This lamp illuminates whenthe ignition switch is turnedto 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” posi-
tion, the brake warning lamp illuminates un- der the following conditions:
l When the parking brake lever has been
engaged.
l When the brake fluid level in the reser-
voir falls to a low level.
l When the brake force distribution func-
tion is not operating correctly. (vehicles
with anti-lock brake system)CAUTIONl In the situations listed below, brake perform-
ance may be compromised or the vehicle
may become unstable if brakes are applied
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.
• The brake warning lamp does not illumi-
nate when the parking brake is applied ordoes not turn off when the parking brake is released.
• The ABS warning lamp and brake warn-
ing lamp illuminate at the same time.
For details, refer to “ABS warning lamp”
on page 6-46. (vehicles with anti-lock
brake system)
• The brake warning lamp remains illumi-
nated during driving.
l The vehicle should be brought to a halt in
the following manner when brake perform-
ance has deteriorated.
• Depress the brake pedal harder than usual.
Even if the brake pedal moves down to
the very end of its possible stroke, keep it
pressed down hard.CAUTION• Should the brakes fail, use engine braking
to reduce your speed and carefully pull the parking brake lever to park your vehi-
cle.
Depress the brake pedal to operate the
stop lamp to alert the vehicles behind you.Check engine warning lamp
E00502601944
This lamp is a part of an on-
board diagnostic system
which monitors the emis-
sions, engine and automatic transmission control sys-tems.
If a problem is detected in one of these sys- tems, this lamp illuminates.
Although your vehicle will usually be driva-
ble and not need towing, we recommend you
to have the system checked as soon as possi-
ble.

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

MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE Coolant
has excellent protection against corrosion and rust formation of all metals including alumi-
nium and can avoid blockages in the radiator, heater, cylinder head, engine block, etc.
Because of the necessity of this anti-corro-
sion agent, the coolant must not be replaced with plain water even in summer. The re-
quired concentration of anti-freeze differs de-
pending on the expected ambient tempera- ture.Ambient
tempera-
ture (mini- mum) °C
-15-20-25-30-35-50
Anti-freezeconcentra- tion %
303540455060CAUTIONl Do not use alcohol or methanol anti-freeze
or any engine coolants mixed with alcohol
or methanol anti-freeze. The use of an im- proper anti-freeze can cause corrosion of the
aluminium components.
l For effective anti-corrosion and anti-freeze
performance, keep the anti-freeze concentra-tion within the range of 30 to 60 %.
Concentrations exceeding 60 % will result in
a reduction of both the anti-freeze and cool-
ing performance thus adversely affecting the
engine.CAUTIONl 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 boiling point. It can also cause damage to the cooling system if it should freeze. Do not use tapwater, as it can causecorrosion and rust formation.
During cold weather
If 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 ra-diator.
Add a sufficient amount of anti-freeze to the
coolant to prevent it from freezing.
The concentration should be checked before the start of cold weather and anti-freeze add- ed to the system if necessary.
Automatic transmission
fluid* E01000602125
The proper amount of automatic transmission fluid is essential to the life and operation of
the automatic transmission. Either insuffi- cient fluid or excessive fluid could causetransmission trouble. The transmission fluid filler port cap is equipped with a dipstick.Use the following procedure to check the flu-
id level.
Procedure for checking the flu- id level
1. Check the fluid level after the vehicle
has been driven enough to warm up the
transmission fluid.
2. Park the vehicle on a flat, level surface
and apply the parking brake.
3. With the engine idling and the brake
pedal fully depressed, move the trans- mission selector lever through all the po-sitions from P” (PARK) to “D”
(DRIVE), stopping momentarily at each position.
4. Move the selector lever to the “P”
(PARK) position.
5. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a
clean lint-free cloth.
6. Reinsert the dipstick as far as it goes.

7.Remove dipstick and read the automatic
transmission fluid level.
The fluid level should always be be-
tween the two marks on the dipstick.WARNINGl Do not spill the fluid onto a hot exhaust
manifold during topping up or inspection, or a fire may occur.
Fluid type
Use only “ MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENU-
INE ATF SP III” transmission fluid to ensure
optimum transmission performance.
CAUTIONl For the automatic transmission fluid, use on-
ly the MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE
ATF SP III.
Use of a different fluid could damage the transmission.Washer fluid
E01000700672
The windscreen washer fluid reservoir is inthe engine compartment.
Check the washer fluid level at regular inter- vals and add washer fluid to reservoir if nec-
essary.
NOTEl The washer fluid container serves the wind-
screen and headlamps (if so equipped).During cold weather
To ensure proper operation of the washers at
low temperatures, use a fluid containing ananti-freezing agent.
Brake fluid
E01000900935
To check the fluid level
Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir.
The brake fluid level must be between the “MAX” and “MIN” marks on the reservoir.
The brake fluid level is monitored by a float.
When the brake fluid level falls below the “MIN” mark, the brake fluid warning lamp
lights up.
