nates under 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.

With the ignition switch or the operation
mode in ON, a buzzer sounds under the fol- lowing condition:
l The vehicle speed exceeds 8 km/h
(5 mph) with the parking brake applied.
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, 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.

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.
• Should the brakes fail, use engine braking
to reduce your speed and pull the parking
brake lever.
Depress the brake pedal to operate the
stop lamp to alert the vehicles behind you.Check engine warning lamp
E00502603137
This lamp is a part of an on-
board diagnostic system
which monitors the emis-
sions, engine control system or A/T 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 igni-
tion switch is turned “ON” or the operation mode is put in ON, and goes off after the en-gine has started. If it does not go off after the
engine 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 economy and drivability.
l If the lamp does not illuminate when the ig-
nition switch is turned to the “ON” position
or the operation mode is put in ON, we rec- ommend you to have the system checked.
Warning lamps
5-15OKTE18E1Instruments and controls5

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.

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

Your driving ability can be seriously im-
paired even with blood alcohol levels far be- low the legal minimum. If you have beendrinking, don’t drive. Ride with a designated
non-drinking driver, call a cab or a friend, or
use public transportation. Drinking coffee or taking a cold shower will not make you so-ber.
Similarly, prescription and nonprescription
drugs affect your alertness, perception and re- action time. Consult with your doctor or
pharmacist before driving while under the in- fluence of any of these medications.WARNINGl NEVER DRINK AND DRIVE.
Your perceptions are less accurate, your reflexes are slower and your judgment is
impaired.Safe driving techniques
E00600300446
Driving safety and protection against injury
cannot be fully ensured. However, we recom- mend that you pay extra attention to the fol-
lowing:
Seat belts
Before starting the vehicle, make sure that
you and your passengers have fastened your seat belts.
Floor mats
WARNINGl Keep floor mats clear of the pedals by
correctly laying floor mats that are suita-
ble for the vehicle.
To prevent the floor mats from slipping out of position, securely retain them usingthe hook etc.
Note that laying a floor mat over a pedal
or laying one floor mat on top of another can obstruct pedal operation and lead to a
serious accident.Carrying children in the vehi-
cle
l Never leave your vehicle unattended
with the key and children inside the ve-hicle. Children may play with the driv-
ing controls and this could lead to an ac- cident.
l Make sure that infants and small chil-
dren are properly restrained in accord-
ance with the laws and regulations, and
for maximum protection in case of an accident.
l Prevent children from playing in the lug-
gage compartment. It is quite dangerous
to allow them to play there while the ve- hicle is moving.
Loading luggage
When loading luggage, be careful not to load above the height of seats. This is dangerous
not only because rearward vision will be ob- structed, but also the luggage may be projec-ted into the passenger compartment underhard braking.
Safe driving techniques
6-03OKTE18E1Starting and driving6

To apply
1-Firmly depress and hold the brake pedal,
then pull the lever up without pushing
the button at the end of hand grip.
CAUTIONl When you intend to apply the parking brake,
firmly press the brake pedal to bring the ve-hicle to a complete stop before pulling theparking brake lever.
Pulling the parking brake lever with the ve- hicle moving could make the rear wheels
lock up, thereby making the vehicle unsta- ble. It could also make the parking brake
malfunction.NOTEl Apply sufficient force to the parking brake
lever to hold the vehicle stationary after the foot brake is released.NOTEl If the parking brake does not hold the vehi-
cle stationary after the foot brake is released,
have your vehicle checked immediately.
To release
1- Firmly depress and hold the brake pedal,
then pull the lever up slightly.
2- Push the button at the end of hand grip.
3- Lower the lever fully.
CAUTIONl Before driving, be sure that the parking
brake is fully released and brake warning
lamp is off.
If a vehicle is driven without releasing the
parking brake, the brake will be overheated, resulting in ineffective braking and possible
brake failure.CAUTIONl If the brake warning lamp does not extin-
guish when the parking brake is fully re- leased, the brake system may be abnormal.
Have your vehicle checked immediately.
For details, refer to “Brake warning lamp” on page 5-15.NOTEl To prevent the parking brake from being re-
leased unintentionally, the lever must be
pulled up slightly before it can be pushed down. Simply pressing the button does not
enable the lever to be pushed down.Parking
E00600602704

A/T, be sure
to apply the parking brake before moving se- lector lever to the “P” (PARK) position. If
you move selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position before applying the parking brake,it may be difficult to disengage selector lev- er from the “P” (PARK) position when next
you drive the vehicle, requiring application of a strong force the selector lever to move
from the “P” (PARK) position.
Parking with the engine run-
ning
Never leave the engine running while you
take a short sleep/rest. Also, never leave the engine running in a closed or poorly ventila-
ted place.
WARNINGl Leaving the engine running risks injury
or death from accidentally moving the
gearshift lever (with M/T) or the selector
lever (with A/T) or the accumulation of
toxic exhaust fumes on the passenger
compartment.Where you parkWARNINGl Do not park your vehicle in areas where
combustible materials such as dry grass
or leaves can come in contact with a hot exhaust, since a fire could occur.
