This lamp is a part of an
onboard diagnostic system
which monitors the emissions,
engine control system or A/T
control system.
If a problem is detected in one of these sys-
tems, 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 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
In the situations listed below, brake perfor-
mance 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, immediately the vehicle should
be brought to a stop in a safe location and
your nearest authorised MITSUBISHI
MOTORS dealer should be contacted.
