Warning lights 5-168 Features and controls

N00520601323
This light comes on in the event of a malfunc- tion in the charging system or when the igni-tion switch is turned to the “ON” position (engine off) or the operation mode is put in ON. On vehicle equipped with the multiinformation display - Type 1, a warning is also displayed in the multi information dis- play. When the engine is started, the lightshould go out. Check to make sure that the light has gone out before driving.
N00520701278
This light comes on when the engine oil pres- sure is below normal. If the light stays onwhile driving, stop the
engine as soon as pos-
sible. Do not run the engine until the cause of the low oil pressure is corrected.
CAUTION Driving for a long time with the engine mal- function indicator on
may cause more dam-
age to the emission control system. Thiscould also affect fuel economy and drivabil- ity. If this indicator does not come on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” posi- tion or the operation mode
is put in ON, have
the system checked at an authorized Mitsubi- shi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice. If the engine malfuncti
on indicator comes on
while the engine is running, avoid driving athigh speeds. During vehicle operation
with the indicator
on, the vehicle may not
accelerate when you
depress the accelerator pedal. When the vehicle is stat
ionary with the indi-
cator on, you must depress the brake pedalmore firmly than usual since the engine idling speed is higher than usual and a vehi- cle with an automatic transaxle or CVT has astronger tendency to creep forward.
NOTE
 Do not disconnect the ba
ttery cable when the
engine malfunction i
ndicator (“SERVICE
ENGINE SOON” or “Che
ck engine light”) is
on. The engine electronic control module stores critical OBD information (especially exhaustemission data), which ma
y be lost if the bat-
tery cable is disconne
cted while the engine
malfunction indicator is
on. This will make it
difficult to diagnose the cause of future prob- lems.
Charging system warning light
CAUTION If the warning light stays on while the engine is running, park your ve
hicle in a safe place
as soon as possible and
contact an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer
or a repair facility
of your choice to have the system checked.
Oil pressure warning light (Vehicle equipped with the multi information display - Type 2)
CAUTION If this light comes on when the engine oil level is not low, have
your vehicle checked at
an authorized Mitsubish
i Motors dealer or a
repair facility
of your choice.
This warning light does not show the amount of oil in the crankcase. This can only bedetermined by checking th
e oil level with the
dipstick with the engine turned off.
