I believe that is a brake warning light. Switch/sensor possibly screwed on the master cylinder, try disconnecting any wires on the brake master cylinder and see if it turns off/stays on. If it stays off leave it...unless your brakes are starting to give?
Would also enquire at Mitsubishi as to what is meant to set off the switch.

Two things

Either Handbrake is left on or low brake fluid.

3 options,

1) release handbrake :D
2) Take lid off brake fluid reservior and add some brake fluid
3) Take lid off brake fluid reservior and push the black thing under the lid back into the lid and put the lid back on! :D
