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 Mit-
subishi Motors dealer.The tire pressure monitoring system may not work normally in
the following circumstances:
A wireless facility or device using the same frequency is
near the vehicle.
Snow or ice is stuck inside the fenders and/or on the
wheels.
The tire inflation pressure sensors’ battery is exhausted.
Wheels other than Mitsubishi genuine wheels are being
used.
Wheels that are not fitted with tire inflation pressure sen-
sors are being used.
Wheels whose ID codes are not memorized by the vehicle
are used.
A window tint that affects the radio wave signals is
installed.
NOTETire inflation pressures vary with the ambient tempera-
ture. If the vehicle is subjected to large variations in ambi-
ent temperature, the tire inflation pressures may be under-
inflated (causing the warning light to come on) when the
ambient temperature is relatively low. If the warning light
comes on, adjust the tire inflation pressure.Whenever the tires and wheels are replaced with
new ones
N00532900108
If you use new wheels with new tire inflation pressure sensors,
their ID codes must be programmed into the tire pressure mon-
itoring system. Have tire and wheel replacement performed by
an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer to avoid the risk of
damaging the tire inflation pressure sensors. If the wheel

!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.

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

Engine malfunction indicator (“SERVICE
ENGINE SOON” or “Check engine light”)
N00520500396
This indicator is a part of the onboard diagnostic (OBD) sys-
tem which monitors the emissions, engine, and automatic tran-
saxle control systems. If a problem is detected in one of these
systems, this indicator comes on. When the ignition key is
turned to the “ON” position, this indicator normally comes on
and goes off a few seconds later.
This indicator will come on if the fuel tank filler cap is not
properly tightened. If the indicator comes on and stays on after
refueling, stop the engine and check that the cap is properly
tightened. (Turn the cap clockwise until you hear clicking
sounds.)
If this indicator does not go off after several seconds or lights
up while driving, have the system checked as soon as possible
at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of
your choice.
NOTEDo not disconnect the battery cable when the Engine mal-
function indicator (“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” or
“Check engine light”) is on.
The engine electronic control module stores critical OBD
information (especially exhaust emission data), which
may be lost if the battery cable is disconnected while the
engine malfunction indicator is on. This will make it diffi-
cult to diagnose the cause of future problems.
The vehicle should be brought to a stop in the fol-
lowing manner when brake performance has deteri-
orated while driving.
• Press the brake pedal harder than usual.
• Should the brakes fail, shift down to a lower gear
to reduce your speed and slowly depress the park-
ing brake pedal to park your vehicle. Press the
brake pedal to operate your rear brake lights to
alert vehicles behind you.CAUTION
!
CAUTION
!Driving for a long time with the engine malfunction
indicator on may cause more damage to the emission
control system. This could also affect fuel economy
and drivability. If this indicator does not come on when the ignition
key is turned to the “ON” position, have the system
checked by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer
or a repair facility of your choice. If the indicator comes on while the engine is run-
ning, avoid driving at high speeds.
During vehicle operation with the indicator on, the
vehicle may not accelerate when you depress the
accelerator pedal.
When the vehicle is stationary with the indicator on,
you must depress the brake pedal more firmly than
usual since the engine idling speed is higher than
usual and the vehicle with an automatic transaxle
has a stronger tendency to creep forward.

Charging system warning light
N00520600166
This light comes on in the event of a malfunction in the charg-
ing system or when the ignition key is turned to the “ON” posi-
tion (engine off). When the engine is started, the light should
go out. Check to make sure that the light has gone out before
driving.
Oil pressure warning light
N00520700154
This light comes on when the engine oil pressure is below nor-
mal. If the light stays on while driving, stop the engine as soon
as possible. Do not run the engine until the cause of the low oil
pressure is corrected.Door-ajar warning light and buzzer
N00520900286
This light comes on when any door, the liftgate is open or not
completely closed.
When the vehicle is moving at more than 5 mph (8 km/h) and
any door, the liftgate is open or ajar, a tone will sound 4 times
and the warning light will flash 4 times to inform the driver
that any door, the liftgate is not properly shut.
CAUTION
!If the warning light stays on after the engine has
started, the battery charging system may be mal-
functioning. In this case, take your vehicle to an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair
facility of your choice and have the system checked.
CAUTION
!If this light comes on when the engine oil level is not
low, have your vehicle checked at an authorized Mit-
subishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice.This warning light does not show the amount of oil
in the crankcase. This can only be determined by
checking the oil level with the dipstick with the
engine turned off.
CAUTION
!Before driving, make sure that the door-ajar warn-
ing light is off.

Driving range
N00500700028
This value shows the distance (in miles or km) that can be
driven on the fuel remaining in the fuel tank.NOTEIf the driving range drops below 30 miles (50 km) while
the driving range is displayed, the display shows “--”.
When this occurs, replenish the fuel tank as soon as possi-
ble.
When the system cannot provide a definite value for the
driving range, the display shows “---”.
The driving range varies depending on road conditions,
the manner of driving and other related factors. Conse-
quently, the display should be used only as a guide. It is
recommended to add fuel as soon as the low-fuel warning
light in the instrument cluster illuminates.
(Refer to “Low-fuel warning light” on page 3-80.)
Refueling will update the driving range indication.
The driving range displayed is based on previous fuel
economy data. Disconnecting the battery cable will result
in the deletion of existing fuel consumption data, which
will affect the unit’s calculations.
The driving range figure can occasionally increase if the
vehicle is stopped on an incline. This is normal, as the fuel
has moved in the tank because of the incline.
Average speed
N00500800029
The average speed (B) from the time when the display was last
reset to the present moment is shown with a graph. For instruc-
tions on resetting the display, refer to “To reset the display” on
page 3-105.NOTEThe range (A) for which historical data are shown in the
graph can be changed. Refer to “Graph indication” on
page 3-106.
The unit for the average speed can be set to mph or km/h.
Refer to “Display unit selection” on page 3-106 or “Units
customization” on page 3-120.
When the system cannot provide a definite value for aver-
age speed, it is displayed as “--”.
