If the warning light illuminates while driving
N00532800370
1. Avoiding hard braking, sharp steering maneuvers 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 7-19.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.

!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.

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 Motors 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.
Compact spare tire is fitted on a road wheel.
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
N00532900065
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
replacement is not done by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer, it is not covered by your warranty.
CAUTION
!The use of non-genuine wheels will prevent the
proper fit of the tire inflation pressure sensors,
resulting air leakage or damage of the sensors.

• In a dark area, such as at night.
• When water drops or condensation are on the lens.
• When sun light or headlights shine directly into the lens.
→ When the camera picks up extremely bright light,
such as sunlight reflected off the rear bumper, a bright
vertical line may appear on the screen.
CAUTION
!The rear-view camera uses a wide-angle lens. As a
result, images and distances shown on the screen are
not exact.Actual distance may be different from distance indi-

Every time the reset button (3) 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 meter
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.
The odometer and tripmeter indications remain visible for
a short while after the ignition switch is turned to the
“OFF” position. Subsequently, they become visible for a
short while when any of the following steps is taken.
• Any door is opened.
• The odometer/tripmeter reset button is pressed.
• The ignition switch is turned to the “ACC” position.
When disconnecting the battery terminal for a long time,
the memory of tripmeter display TRIP and are
cleared, and the display returns to “0”.

Fuel gauge
N00519600052
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
N00532000239
The warning light 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.

Engine coolant temperature gauge
N00519700037
This gauge shows the engine coolant temperature. If the tem-
perature is low when the ignition key is turned to the “ON”
position, the indicator will remain at the “C” (cold) position
until the engine begins to warm up.
The indicator will normally stay near the center while driving,
but may rise slightly in stop-and-go traffic or when the engine
is under a heavy load.
CAUTION
!Take care to keep the engine operating temperature
within the normal range while driving. If the indica-
tor enters the “H” (hot) position, the engine is over-
heating (Refer to “Engine overheating” on page 6-
5).
