Some Mitsubishi Lancer owners report experiencing issues when the battery and oil lights activate while lightly braking in reverse, which can lead to the car shutting off. These warning lights may indicate problems with the charging system, often due to a faulty alternator or battery failure, necessitating an electrical system check to prevent being stranded with a dead battery. Additionally, the oil light activation could signify low oil levels, oil leaks, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, all of which require prompt attention to avoid potential engine damage. It is advisable for owners facing these issues to have their vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic to diagnose and resolve the underlying problems.
