Check engine warning lamp
This lamp is a part of an on-
board diagnostic
which monitors the emis-
sions, engine 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 oper-
ation mode of the power switch is put in ON,
and goes off after the Plug-in Hybrid EV
System has started. If it does not go off after
the Plug-in Hybrid EV System has started,
we recommend you to have the vehicle
checked.
CAUTION
l 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 op-
eration mode is put in ON, we recommend
you to have the system checked.

l If the lamp illuminates while the Plug-in Hy-
brid EV System is operating, avoid driving
system
at high speeds and have the system inspected
by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point as soon as possible.
NOTE
l 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 auxiliary battery
cable is disconnected which will make a rap-
id diagnosis difficult. Do not disconnect a
auxiliary battery cable when the check engine
warning lamp is ON.
Auxiliary battery charge warn-
ing lamp
This warning lamp will illu-
minate when there is a fault
with the charging system of
the auxiliary battery.
