circuits. And your vehicle is equipped with
power brakes. If one brake circuit fails, the
other is available to stop the vehicle. If your
vehicle should lose the power assist for some

brake system repaired.
The brake warning lamp illuminates to indi-

MITSUBISHI MOTORS dealer immedi-

The engine may start when the brake pedal is
depressed during EV driving, but this is not a
malfunction.
