Electric Parking Brake Warning Light (Yellow); Engine Malfunction Indicator; 12 V Starter Battery Charging System Warning Light - Mitsubishi MOTORS Outlander PHEV 2018 Owner's Manual

Electric parking brake warning
light (yellow)
This warning light will illuminate when there
is a fault in the Electric parking brake system.
Normally, this warning light illuminates
when the operation mode is put in ON, and
goes off in a few seconds.
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
certified Mitsubishi EV dealer. When the
warning light comes on during driving,
immediately stop the vehicle in a safe place,
and contact a certified Mitsubishi EV dealer.
If you inevitably have to park, park the vehi-
cle on level and stable ground, shift the
select position in "P" (PARK) position and
place chocks or blocks.

Engine malfunction indicator

("SERVICE ENGINE SOON"
or "Check engine light")
This indicator is a part of the onboard diag-
nostic (OBD) system which monitors the
emissions or engine control system. If a prob-
lem is detected in one of these systems, this
indicator illuminates or flashes. When the
operation mode is put in ON, this indicator
normally comes on and goes off after the
N00591200027
Plug-in Hybrid EV system 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 Plug-in Hybrid EV system 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 a certi-
fied Mitsubishi EV dealer.
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
operation mode is put in ON, have the sys-
tem checked at a certified Mitsubishi EV
dealer.

Warning lights
CAUTION
 If the engine malfunction indicator comes on
while the Plug-in Hybrid EV system is run-
ning, avoid driving at high speeds.
During vehicle operation with the indicator
on, the vehicle may not accelerate when you
depress the accelerator pedal.
NOTE
 Do not disconnect the 12 V starter 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 12 V
starter battery cable is disconnected while
the engine malfunction indicator is on. This
will make it difficult to diagnose the cause of
future problems.
12 V starter battery charging
system warning light
This light comes on in the event of a malfunc-
tion in the charging system or when the oper-
ation mode is put in ON. When the Plug-in
Hybrid EV System is started and the ready
indicator illuminates, the light should go out.
