Tachometer
ED04A-Ac
The tachometer indicates the engine speed
(r/min). The tachometer can help you obtain
more economical driving and also warns
you of excessive engine speeds.
CAUTION
During travel, watch the tachometer
making sure that the engine speed
indication does not rise to the red
zone (excessive engine rpm).
D03F040A
Odometer/Tripmeter
ED03FAJa
When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON”position, odometer and tripmeter indi-
cations are given.
Every time the reset button (3) is pressed
lightly (less than 1 second), tripmeter indi-
cations (TRIP
and
) are changed.

2- Tripmeter
3- Reset button
OdometerThe odometer indicates the total distance
the vehicle has travelled.
D03F018A
TripmeterThe tripmeter indicates the distance trav-
elled during a particular trip or period.
There are two tripmeter displays: TRIP
and
.
TRIP
can be used to measure the dis-
tance travelled since the current trip began.
At the same time, TRIP
can be used to
measure the distance from an intermedi-
ate location. To return the display to zero,
press the reset button for more than 1 sec-
ond. Only the currently displayed value will
be reset.
If TRIP
is displayed, for example, only
TRIPwill be reset.
NOTE
(1) Display TRIP

Turn-signal indication lamps - green
ED52A-BB
These indication lamps blink on and off when a
turn-signal lamp is operating.NOTE
If the blinking is too fast, the cause may be a faulty
turn-signal connection or a blown lamp bulb.Hazard warning indication lamps - green
ED30A-A
When the hazard warning lamp switch is pressed,
all turn-signal lamps will flash on and off continu-
ously.Engine oil level warning lamp-amber
ED26A-D
This lamp illuminates when the ignition switch is
turned to the “ON” position, and goes off after theengine has started. If it lights up while the engine is
running, the oil level is too low.
If the warning lamp lights while the engine is run-
ning, stop the engine and add engine oil to speci-
fied level. (Refer to “Engine oil” on page 9-2.)
Low fuel indication lamp - amber
ED63ABD
The indication lamp comes on when the fuel tank is
getting low. Refuel as soon as possible.
CAUTION
On petrol-powered vehicles, do not drive with
an extremely low fuel level; running out of fuel
could cause damage to the catalytic con-
verter.
NOTE
On inclines or curves, due to the movement of fuel
in the tank, the low fuel indication lamp may come
on earlier than usual.

Low washer fluid indication lamp* - amber
ED79A-Q
This lamp illuminates when the washer fluid in the
tank falls to a low level (approx. 0.8 lit.). If it illumi-
nates, fill the washer tank at the earliest opportu-
nity.Diesel preheat indication lamp - amber
(diesel-powered vehicles only)
ED58A-M
The indication lamp illuminates when the ignition
switch is placed in the“ON ”position. As the glow
plug becomes hot, the lamp goes out and the engine
can be started.
NOTE
(1)If the engine is cold, the diesel preheat indica- tion lamp is on for a longer time.
(2)When the engine has not been started within about 5 seconds after the diesel preheat indica-
tion lamp went out, return the ignition key to the
“LOCK” position. Then, turn the key to the “ON”
position to preheat the engine again.
(3)When the engine is warm, the diesel preheat indi- cation lamp does not come on even if the igni-
tion key is placed in the “ON” position.

Turn/lane-change signals
EE11D-Ja
The turn-signal lamps flash when the switch
is operated (with the ignition switch“ON”).
At the same time, the turn signal indica-
tor flashes.
1- Turn-signals
When making a normal turn, use posi-
tion (1). The lever will return automati-
cally when cornering is completed.
There are times when the lever will not
return after cornering. This occurs when
the steering wheel is turned only slightly.
In such cases, return the lever by hand.
2- Lane-change signals
When changing lanes, use position (2).
It will return to the neutral position when
released.Instruments and controls

Display mode
ED92G-I
For petrol-powered vehicles with MITSUB-
ISHI genuine audio, driving range and aver-
age speed can be displayed besides
average fuel consumption by pushing the
“DISP”button in the audio.
When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON”position, the display shows the 3
items sequentially (Average fuel consump-
tion→Driving range→Average speed)
and returns to the original display that is
shown before the ignition switch was last
turned to the“OFF”position.
NOTE
If the DISP button is pressed while the dis-
play is scrolling through the sequence men-
tioned above, the display stops scrolling
and shows the item that was shown before
the ignition switch was last turned to the
“OFF”position.

ceivers or a cellular phone near the
monitor may make the following con-
dition on the display. This does not indi-
cate a fault with the system.

The screen goes dark temporarily.

The compass may not show the cor-
rect direction.

(8) Stop driving the vehicle if you think the
performance is noticeably low, or that
there is unnecessary engine rotation, or
any other engine trouble, such as with
the ignition, etc.
If it is impractical to stop driving imme-
diately, reduce the speed and drive for
only a short time. Have an inspection
made by your nearest authorized
MITSUBISHI dealer as soon as pos-
sible.
(9) In unusual situations involving grossly
malfunctioning engine operation, a
burnt smell may indicate severe and
abnormal catalyst overheating.
If this occurs, the vehicle should be
stopped in a safe place, the engine
switched off and the vehicle allowed to
cool. Once the engine is cool, a ser-
vice, including a tune-up to manufac-
turer’s specifications, should be
obtained immediately.
Economical driving
EC19AAX
For economical driving, there are some
technical requirements that have to be met.
The prerequisite for low fuel consumption
is a properly adjusted engine. In order to
achieve longer life of the vehicle and the
most economical operation, have the
vehicle serviced by an authorized
MITSUBISHI dealer at regular intervals in
accordance with the service standards.
Fuel economy and generation of exhaust
gas and noise are highly influenced by per-
sonal driving habits as well as the particu-
lar operating conditions. The following
points should be observed in order to mini-
mize wear of brakes, tyres and engine as
well as to reduce environmental pollu-
tion.
(1)Starting
Avoid rapid acceleration and sudden
starts; such operation will result in
higher fuel consumption.
(2)Shifting
Shift only at an appropriate speed and
engine speed. Always use the high-
est gear possible.
The transfer shift lever should be set to
“2H”when driving on normal roads and
express ways to obtain best possible
fuel economy.(3)City traffic
Frequent starting and stopping
increases the average fuel consump-
tion. Use roads with smooth traffic flow
whenever possible. When driving on
congested roads, avoid use of a low
gear at high engine speeds.
(4)Idling
The vehicle consumes fuel even dur-
ing idling. Avoid extended idling when-
ever possible.
(5)Speed
The higher the vehicle speed, the more
fuel consumed. Avoid driving at full
speed. Even a slight release of the
accelerator pedal will save a signifi-
cant amount of fuel.
(6)Tyre inflation pressure
Check the tyre inflation pressures at
regular intervals. Low tyre inflation
pressure increases road resistance and
fuel consumption. In addition, low tyre
pressures adversely affect tyre wear
and driving stability.
