Mitsubishi Outlander: Warning lamps
Brake warning lamp
This lamp will illuminate for a few seconds when the ignition switch is turned
to the “ON” position. A warning is also displayed on the multi-information display.
With the ignition switch “ON”, the brake warning lamp illuminates under the following
conditions:
● When the parking brake lever has been engaged.
● When the brake fluid level in the reservoir falls to a low level.
● Before driving when the brake system is not operating correctly, be sure that
the parking brake is fully released and the brake warning lamp is off.
CAUTION:
● If either of the situations described below occurs, there is a risk of reduced
brake effectiveness. Stop the vehicle in a safe place and we recommend you to have
it checked. • The brake warning lamp does not turn off when the parking brake is
released. • The brake warning lamp remains illuminated during driving.
● If the brake warning lamp comes on at the same time as the ABS warning lamp, the
brake force distribution function is not working so hard braking could make the
vehicle unstable. Avoid hard braking and high-speed driving. Stop the vehicle in
a safe place and we recommend you to have it checked.
● The vehicle should be brought to a halt in the following manner when brake performance
has deteriorated. • Depress the brake pedal harder than usual. Even if the brake
pedal moves down to the very end of its possible stroke, keep it pressed down hard.
• Should the brakes fail, use engine braking to reduce your speed and pull the parking
brake lever. Depress the brake pedal to operate the stop lamp to alert the vehicles
behind you.
Check engine warning lamp
This lamp is a part of an onboard diagnostic system which monitors the emissions, engine and automatic transmission control systems. 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”, 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 thegONh
position, we recommend you to have the system checked.
● If the lamp illuminates while the engine is running, avoid driving at high speeds
and we recommend you to have the system checked. 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 “ON”, and goes off after the engine has started. A warning is also displayed on the multi-information display.
CAUTION:
● If it illuminates while the engine is running, there is a problem in the charging
system. Immediately park your vehicle in a safe place and we recommend you to have
it checked.
