the excessive use of the brake, the brake
parts are possibly worn early and the brake is
disabled by the overheat.
If you operate the Electric parking brake
switch repeatedly within a short time, the
warning display may appear and the parking
brake cannot be applied temporarily. In such
a case, wait for approximately one minute
and operate the Electric parking brake switch
again after the warning display disappears.
If the parking brake indicator lamp blinks,
the Electric parking brake cannot be applied.
When this lamp continues blinking after
waiting for a while, contact an authorised
MITSUBISHI MOTORS dealer.

brake indicator lamp will illuminate for

if the parking brake is applied, the parking
brake indicator lamp comes on for a while.
