E00502602938
This lamp is a part of an on-
board diagnostic system
which monitors the emis-
sions, engine control system. If a problem is detected in one of these systems, this
lamp illuminates or flashes.
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.
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 System has started. If it does not go off after
the Plug-in Hybrid EV System has started, we recommend you to have the vehicle
checked.CAUTIONl Prolonged driving with this lamp on may
cause further damage to the emission control system. It could also affect fuel economyand drivability.
l If the lamp does not illuminate when the op-
eration mode is put in ON, we recommend
you to have the system checked.
l If the lamp illuminates while the Plug-in Hy-
brid EV System is operating, avoid driving
at high speeds and have the system inspected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point as soon as possible.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 auxiliary battery
cable is disconnected which will make a rap- id diagnosis difficult. Do not disconnect a
auxiliary battery cable when the check engine
warning lamp is ON.Auxiliary battery charge warn-
ing lamp
E00502702287
This warning lamp will illu- minate when there is a fault with the charging system of
the auxiliary battery.

tion mode of the power
switch is put in ON, this warning lamp will illuminate. Then, when the Plug-in Hybrid
EV System is started and the ready indicator
illuminates, the warning lamp will go out.
CAUTIONl If the warning lamp stays on after the ready
indicator illuminates, there may be a prob- lem with the charging system for the auxili-
ary battery.
• Immediately park your vehicle in a safe
place and we recommend you to have it
checked.
• Do not charge the auxiliary battery.
