on. You will need to reset the speed however, if you want
to use cruise control.
If the battery voltage is insufficient, the memory data for
the main switch will be erased.
As a result, the “CRUISE” indicator may not come on
when you restart the engine.
If this happens, push in the main switch once again to acti-
vate the system.

Tire pressure monitoring system warning light
N00554800093
When the ignition key is turned to the “ON” position, this light
normally illuminates and goes off a few seconds later.
If one or more of the vehicle tires (except for the compact spare
tire) is significantly under-inflated, however, this light will
remain illuminated while the key is in the “ON” position.
Refer to “If the warning light illuminates while driving” on
page 3-100 and take the necessary measures.
CAUTION
!If the tire pressure monitoring system warning light
does not illuminate when the ignition key is turned
to the “ON” position, it means that the tire pressure
monitoring system is not working properly. Have
the system inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer.
In such situations, a malfunctioning of the system
may be preventing the monitoring of the tire pres-
sure. Avoid sudden braking, sharp turning and
high-speed driving.
If a malfunction is detected in the tire pressure mon-
itoring system, the tire pressure monitoring system
warning light will blink for approximately 1 minute
and then remain continuously illuminated. The
warning light will issue further warnings each time
the engine is restarted as long as the malfunction
exists.
Check to see whether the warning light goes off after
few minutes of driving.
If it then goes off during driving, there is no prob-
lem.
However, if the warning light does not go off, or if it
blinks again when the engine is restarted, have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer.
In such situations, a malfunctioning of the system
may be preventing the monitoring of the tire pres-
sure. For safety reasons, when the warning light
appears while driving, avoid sudden braking, sharp
turning and high-speed driving.
CAUTION

If the warning light illuminates while driving
N00532800341
1. If the low tire pressure monitoring system warning light
illuminates, avoiding hard braking, sharp steering maneu-
vers and high speeds. You should stop and adjust the tires
to the proper inflation pressure as soon as possible. Adjust
the spare tire at the same time. Refer to “Tires” on page 7-
20.NOTEWhen inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, do not
apply excessive force to the valve stem to avoid breakage.
After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, always
reinstall the valve cap on the valve stem.
Without the valve cap, dirt or moisture could get into the
valve, resulting in damage to the tire inflation pressure
sensor.
Do not use metal valve caps, which may cause a metal
reaction, resulting in corrosion and damage of the tire
inflation pressure sensors.
Once adjustments have been made, the warning light will
go off after a few minutes of driving.
2. If the tire pressure monitoring system warning light
remains illuminated after you have been driving for about
20 minutes after you adjust the tire inflation pressure, one
or more of the tires may have a puncture. Inspect the tire
and if it has a puncture, have it repaired by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer as soon as possible.
NOTETo avoid the risk of damage to the tire inflation pressure
sensors, have any punctured tire repaired by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer. If the tire repair is not done by
an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer, it is not covered
by your warranty.
Do not use an aerosol puncture-repair spray on any tire.
Such a spray could damage the tire inflation pressure sen-
sors. Have any puncture repaired by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
WA R N I N G
!If the tire pressure monitoring system warning light
illuminates while you are driving, avoid hard brak-
ing, sharp steering maneuvers and high speeds.
Driving with an under-inflated tire adversely affects
vehicle performance and can result in an accident.
CAUTION
!If a tire has a puncture, replace that tire with the
spare tire. Driving on a punctured tire could lead to
an accident.The tire pressure monitoring system warning light
may not illuminate immediately in the event of a tire
blowout or rapid leak.

Every time the reset button (1) is pressed lightly (less than one
second), the indicators are changed.
ODO-OdometerThe odometer shows the total distance the vehicle has traveled. TRIP-Trip odometerThe trip odometer shows the distance traveled since the last
time it was reset.
There are two trip odometer displays: and .
TRIP can be used to measure the distance traveled since
the current trip began.
At the same time, TRIP can be used to measure the dis-
tance from a second location.
To reset the trip odometer
To zero the counter, press and hold the reset button for more
than one second. Only the currently displayed value will be
reset.
If TRIP is displayed, for example, only TRIP will be
reset. NOTEBoth TRIP and TRIP can measure trips up to
9999.9 miles/kilometers.
Even when the engine has been stopped, the odometer/trip
odometer indication is given for about 30 seconds if any
of the following steps is taken.
• The ignition key is turned to the “OFF” position.
• The driver’s door is opened.
• The odometer/trip odometer reset button is pressed.
If the battery is disconnected for a long time, both of these
displays will be reset to “0”.

Fuel gauge
N00519600225
This gauge shows the amount of fuel in the fuel tank when the
ignition key is turned to the “ON” position.NOTEIt takes a little time after refueling for the gauge to register
the newly added fuel.
If you refuel when the ignition key is in the “ON” posi-
tion, the gauge may differ from the actual level.
Fuel tank filler door markThe arrow (A) indicates that the fuel tank filler door is located
on the left side of the vehicle (Refer to “Filling the fuel tank”
on page 1-4).Low-fuel warning light
N00532000226
The warning light (B) comes on with the ignition key in the
“ON” position when the fuel level is getting low. Refuel as
soon as possible.NOTEOn inclines or curves, due to the movement of fuel in the
tank, the low-fuel warning light may indicate incorrectly.
CAUTION
!Do not drive with an extremely low fuel level. Run-
ning out of gas could cause damage to the catalytic
converter.
