N00520501814
This indicator is a part
of the onboard diag-
nostic (OBD) system which monitors the emissions, engine control system or auto- matic transaxle cont
rol system/continuously
variable transmission
(CVT) control system.
If a problem is detected in one of these sys- tems, this indicator illuminates or flashes.When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode is put in ON, this indicator
normally comes on and
goes off after the engine has started.
This indicator will come on if the fuel tank filler cap is not properly tightened. If thisindicator comes on and stays on after refuel- ing, stop the engine and check that the cap is properly tightened. (Turn the cap clockwiseuntil you hear clicking sounds.) If this indicator does not go off after several seconds or lights up whil
e driving, have the
system checked as s
oon as possible at an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.

CAUTION When the warning light remains on or does not come on, there is the possibility that theparking brake cannot be operated orreleased. Immediately contact the nearest authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. When the warning light comes on during driving,immediately stop the vehi
cle in a safe place,
and contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. If you inevitably have to park, parkthe vehicle on level and stable ground, shift the selector lever in
“P” (PARK) position
and place chocks
or blocks.
Engine malfunction indicator (“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” or “Check engine light”)
CAUTION Driving for a long time with the engine mal- function indicator on
may cause more dam-
age to the emission control system. This could 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 malfunction 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 depr
ess the brake pedal
more firmly than usual since the engineidling speed is higher th
an usual and a vehi-
cle with an automatic transaxle or CVT has a stronger tendency to creep forward.NOTE
 Do not disconnect the battery cable when the engine malfunction i
ndicator (“SERVICE
ENGINE SOON” or “Che
ck engine light”) is
on. The engine electronic control module storescritical OBD information (especially exhaust emission data), which may be lost if the bat- tery cable is disconnected while the enginemalfunction indicator is
on. This will make it
difficult to diagnose the cause of future prob- lems.

Check the wiper blades occasionally. Clean them regularly to remove
deposits of salt and
road film. Use a sponge or cloth and a milddetergent or non-abrasive
cleaner to clean the
blades and glass areas. Replace the blades if th
ey continue to streak
or smear. If the blades are frozen to the windshield or rear window, do not operate the wipers until the ice has melted and the blades are freed, otherwise the wiper mo
tor may be damaged.
N00940800328
Your vehicle is equi
pped with an emission-
control system that me
ets all the requirements
of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
and Environment Cana
da. The emission-con-
trol system is made of:  a positive crankcase
ventilation system
 an evaporative emis
sion-control system
 an exhaust emission-control system
To be sure the emissi
on-control system works
properly, have your ve
hicle inspected and
maintained by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice. This should be done at the time or mileage specified in the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”.These, and all the other “general” mainte- nance services listed in this manual, need to be performed to keep
your vehicle running
properly and reliably. You should also have
an inspection and ser-
vice any time you suspect a malfunction.
N00940900231
Spark plugs must fire properly to ensure proper engine perfo
rmance and emission-
control.Do not reuse spark plugs by cleaning or regapping. Spark plugs sh
ould be replaced at
the mileage specified in the “WARRANTYAND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”.
Wiper blades
NOTE
 Do not run the wipers on dry glass for a long time. This wears out
the rubber and can
scratch the glass.
During cold weather Emission-control system maintenance
NOTE
 To meet government regulations and pro- mote cleaner air, your
vehicle is equipped
with an onboard dia
gnostic system (OBD).
The engine electronic control module that controls OBD functions stores various data (especially a
bout the exhaust emissions).
This data will be erased if the battery cable is disconnected, which could make a rapid diagnosis difficult.
Do not disconnect the
battery cable when the engine malfunction indicator (“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” or “Check engine
light”) is ON.
Spark plugs
NOTE
Use the recommended or
equivalent spark
plugs listed under “Engine specifications” onpage 11-6. Use of other plugs could cause engine damage, loss of
performance or radio
noise.
