Check engine warning lamp
This lamp is a part of an onboard 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 drivable and not need towing, we recommend you to have the system checked as soon as possible.
This lamp will also illuminate when the ignition switch is turned “ON” or the operation mode is put in ON, and goes off after the engine has started. If it does not go off after the engine has started, we recommend you to have the vehicle checked.
CAUTION
-
Prolonged driving with this lamp on may cause further damage to the emission control system. It could also affect fuel economy and drivability.
-
If the lamp does not illuminate when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode is put in ON, we recommend you to have the system checked.
-
If the lamp illuminates while the engine is running, avoid driving at high speeds and have the system inspected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point as soon as possible.Accelerator pedal and brake pedal response may be negatively influenced under these conditions.
NOTE
- The engine electronic control module accommodating 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 diagnosis difficult. Do not disconnect a battery cable when the check engine warning lamp is ON.
Charge warning lamp
This lamp illuminates when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode is put in ON, and goes off after the engine has started.
CAUTION

Oil pressure warning lamp
This lamp illuminates when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode is put in ON, and the lamp goes off after the engine has started. If it illuminates while the engine is running, the oil pressure is too low.
If the warning lamp illuminates while the engine is running, turn the engine off and have it inspected.
CAUTION
- If this lamp illuminates when the engine oil level is not low, have it inspected.
- 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.
- If you continue driving with low engine oil level or with this warning lamp illuminated, engine seizure may occur.
NOTE
- 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
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.
