Warning lights
Features and controls 5-185
5
N00520501856
This indicator is a part of the onboard diag-
nostic (OBD) system which monitors the
emissions, engine control system or continu-
ously variable transmission (CVT) control
system. If a problem is detected in one of
these systems, 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 this
indicator comes on and stays on after refuel-
ing, stop the engine and check that the cap is
properly tightened. (Turn the cap clockwise
until you hear clicking sounds.)
If this indicator does not go off after several
seconds or lights up while driving, have the
system checked as soon 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 the
parking brake cannot be operated or
released. Immediately contact the nearest
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. When
the warning light comes on during driving,
immediately stop the vehicle in a safe place,
and contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer. If you inevitably have to park, park
the 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
Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility
of your choice.
If the engine malfunction indicator comes on
while the engine is running, avoid driving at
high speeds.
During vehicle operation with the indicator
on, the vehicle may not accelerate when you
depress the accelerator pedal.
When the vehicle is stationary with the indi-
cator on, you must depress the brake pedal
more firmly than usual since the engine
idling speed is higher than usual and a vehi-
cle with continuously variable transmission
(CVT) has a stronger tendency to creep for-
ward.
NOTE
Do not disconnect the battery cable when the
engine malfunction indicator (“SERVICE
ENGINE SOON” or “Check engine light”) is
on.
The engine electronic control module stores
critical OBD information (especially exhaust
emission data), which may be lost if the bat-
tery cable is disconnected while the engine
malfunction indicator is on. This will make it
difficult to diagnose the cause of future prob-
lems.
CAUTION
