Oil Pressure Warning Light; Charging System Warning Light - Mitsubishi MIRAGE Service Manual

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 a CVT has a stronger tendency to
creep forward.
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.

Charging system warning light

This light comes on in the event of a malfunc-
tion in the charging system or when the igni-
tion switch is turned to the "ON" position
(engine off) or the operation mode is put in
ON. When the engine is started, the light
should go out. Check to make sure that the
light has gone out before driving.
CAUTION
 If the warning light stays on while the engine
is running, park your vehicle in a safe place
as soon as possible and contact an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility
of your choice to have the system checked.

Oil pressure warning light

This light comes on when the engine oil pres-
sure is below normal. If the light stays on
while driving, stop the engine as soon as pos-
sible. Do not run the engine until the cause of
the low oil pressure is corrected.
CAUTION
 If this light comes on when the engine oil
level is not low, have your vehicle checked at
an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a
repair facility of your choice.
 This warning light does not show the amount
of oil in the crankcase. This can only be

determined by checking the oil level with the
dipstick with the engine turned off.

perature becomes excessively high.
