WARNINGl When taking a key on flights, do not press
any switches on the key while on the plane. If a switch is pressed on the plane,the key emits electromagnetic waves,which could adversely affect the plane’s
flight operation.
When carrying a key in a bag, be careful that no switches on the key can be easily
pressed by mistake.NOTEl The key number is stamped on the tag as in-
dicated in the illustration.
Make a record of the key number and store the key and key number tag in separate pla-
ces, so that you can order a key in the event the original keys are lost.
l The key is a precision electronic device with
a built-in signal transmitter. Please observe the following in order to prevent a malfunc-tion.
• Do not leave in a place that is exposed to
direct sunlight, for example on the dash- board.
• Do not disassemble or modify.
• Do not excessively bend the key or sub-
ject it to strong impacts.
• Do not expose to water.
• Keep away from magnetic key holders.
• Keep away from audio systems, personal
computers, TVs, and other equipment that generates a magnetic field.NOTE• Do not clean with ultrasonic cleaners or
similar equipment.
• Do not leave the key where it may be ex-
posed to high temperature or high humidi-
ty.
l The engine is designed so that it will not
start if the ID code registered in the immo-
bilizer computer and the key’s ID code do
not match. Refer to the “Electronic immobil- izer” section for details and key usage.Electronic immobilizer
(Anti-theft starting system) E00300203094
The electronic immobilizer is designed tosignificantly reduce the possibility of vehicle
theft. The purpose of the system is to immo-
bilize the vehicle if an invalid start is attemp-
ted. A valid start attempt can only be ach- ieved (subject to certain conditions) using akeyless operation system “registered” to theimmobilizer system.
NOTEl In the following cases, the vehicle may not
be able to receive the registered ID code from the key. This means the engine will not
start even when the registered key is turned
to the “START” position.

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.

If the warning lamp illuminateswhile driving
E00607302436
If only the ABS warning lamp illuminates
l Avoid hard braking and high-speed driv-
ing. Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
Restart the engine and check to see whether the lamp goes out after a few
minutes driving; if it then remains off during driving, there is no problem.
However, if the lamp does not go out, or if it lights up again when the vehicle is
driven, we recommend you to have the
vehicle checked as soon as possible.
l The ABS warning lamp can illuminate if
the battery voltage is insufficient when the engine is started. In this case, it doesnot indicate an ABS fault.
Charge the battery by allowing the en- gine to idle for a while.
If the battery has been charged but the
ABS warning lamp continues to illumi-
nate or illuminates intermittently, have
the vehicle inspected.
If the ABS warning lamp and
brake warning lamp illuminate
at the same time
The ABS and brake force distribution func- tion will not work, so hard braking could
make the vehicle unstable.
Avoid hard braking and high-speed driving.
Stop the vehicle in a safe place and contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point.
NOTEl Immediately after the vehicle starts moving
after engine start up, a whining sound of a motor will be heard from the engine com-
partment. If the brake pedal is depressed at that moment, you can feel the brake pedal
pulsating.
This pulsation is due to the self-diagnosis
operation of the ABS and does not indicate a malfunction.
l After driving on snowy roads, remove any
snow and ice which may have become ad-
hered to the wheel areas.
When doing this, be careful not to damage the wheel speed sensors (A) and cables loca-NOTEted at each wheel on vehicles equipped with
an ABS.
l The ABS becomes operative after the vehi-
cle has accelerated to a speed in excess of approximately 10 km/h (6 mph). It stops op-
erating when the vehicle decelerates to a speed below approximately 7 km/h (4 mph).

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.
