CAUTIONlIf the lamp illuminates while the engine is
running, avoid driving at high speeds and have the system inspected by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point as soon as possible.
Accelerator pedal and brake pedal response may be negatively influenced under these
conditions.NOTEl The engine electronic control module ac-
commodating the onboard diagnostic system has various fault data (especially about the
exhaust emission) stored.
This data will be erased if a battery cable is
disconnected which will make a rapid diag- nosis difficult. Do not disconnect a battery
cable when the check engine warning lamp is ON.
Charge warning lamp
E00502702304
This lamp illuminates when the ignition switch is turnedto the “ON” position or the
operation mode is put in ON, and goes off after the engine
has started.
CAUTIONl If it illuminates while the engine is running,
there is a problem in the charging system.
Immediately park your vehicle in a safe place and we recommend you to have it
checked.Oil pressure warning lamp
E00502801816
This lamp illuminates when
the ignition switch is turnedto the “ON” position or the
operation mode is put in ON, and the lamp goes off after
the engine has started. If it il-
luminates while the engine is running, the oil
pressure is too low.
If the warning lamp illuminates while the en- gine is running, turn the engine off and have
it inspected.
CAUTIONl If this lamp illuminates when the engine oil
level is not low, have it inspected.
l This warning lamp does not indicate the
amount of oil in the crankcase. This must be determined by checking the oil level on the
dipstick, while the engine is switched off.
l If you continue driving with low engine oil
level or with this warning lamp illuminated,
engine seizure may occur.NOTEl The oil pressure warning lamp should not be
treated as an indication of the engine’s oil
level. The oil level must be checked using
the dipstick.Door ajar warning lamp
E00503302020
This lamp illuminates when
a door is either open or not
completely closed.
If the vehicle speed reaches approximately 8 km/h
(5 mph) with a door open or
incompletely closed, a buzzer sounds 4 times as a warning.
CAUTIONl Before moving your vehicle, check that the
warning lamp is OFF.Washer fluid level warning

This can be extremely dangerous.NOTEl If this does not close the bonnet, release it
from a slightly higher position.
l Do not press down firmly on the bonnet as
doing so could damage it.Engine oil

To check and refill engine oil
A:Minimum level
B:Maximum level
C:Oil replacement indication mark
The engine oil used has a significant effect on the engine’s performance, service life and
startability. Be sure to use oil of the recom- mended quality and appropriate viscosity.
All engines consume a certain amount of oil during normal operation. Therefore, it is im-portant to check the oil level at regular inter-
vals or before starting a long trip. 1. Park the car on a horizontal surface.
2. Switch off the engine.
3. Wait a few minutes.
4. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a
clean cloth.
5. Reinsert the dipstick as far as it goes.
6. Remove the dipstick and read the oil lev- el, which should always be within therange indicated.
7. If the oil level is below the specified
limit, remove the cap located on the cyl- inder head cover and add enough oil to
raise the level to within the specified
range. Do not overfill to avoid engine damage. Be sure to use the specified en-
gine oil and do not mix various types of
oil.
8. After adding oil, close the cap securely.
9. Confirm the oil level by repeating step 4
to 6.NOTEl Check or refill the oil according to the fol-
lowing manner.
• When the oil level is checked in step 6
above, check it on a low side of the dip-
stick because it is different in appearance
of oil level in the two sides of the dip-
stick.
• On vehicles without diesel particulate fil-
ter (DPF), the oil level should be within the range (A) to (B) on the dipstick.
• On vehicles with DPF, the oil level should
be within the range (A) to (C) (oil re-
placement indication mark) on the dip-
stick.
If the oil level is beyond the oil replace-
ment indication mark (C), replace the oil as soon as possible.
Then, the oil should be refilled to the maximum level (B).
