Odometer/Trip odometerThe operation method is the same as when the ignition switch
is in the “OFF” position.
For further details, refer to “Odometer/Trip odometer” on page
3-185.Service reminderShows the distance and number of months until the next peri-
odic inspection.
Refer to “Service reminder” on page 3-199.Engine coolant temperature displayShows the engine coolant temperature.
If the coolant becomes hot, “ ” will blink.
Pay careful attention to the engine coolant temperature display
while you are driving.
Driving range displayShows the approximate driving range (how many more miles
or kilometers you can drive) with the current fuel level. When
this driving range falls below 30 miles (50 km), “---” is dis-
played.
Refuel as soon as possible.NOTEThe driving range is determined based on the fuel con-
sumption data. This may vary depending on the driving
conditions and habits. Treat the distance displayed as just
a rough guideline.
When you refuel, the driving range display is automati-
cally updated.
However, if you only add a small amount of fuel, the cor-
rect value will not be displayed. Fill to a full tank when-
ever possible.
When your vehicle is stopped on an extremely steep hill,
the driving range value may change. This is due to the
movement of fuel in the tank and does not indicate any
problem.
The display setting can be changed to the preferred units
(miles or km).
Refer to “Changing the function settings (With ignition
switch in the “ON” position)” on page 3-202.
CAUTION
!If the engine is overheating, “ ” will blink. In this
case, the bar graph is on the red zone. Immediately
park the vehicle in a safe place and take the required
measures. Refer to “Engine overheating” on page 6-

Check the engine antifreeze.
If there is not enough coolant because of a leak or from
engine overheating, add Mitsubishi Motors Genuine
Super Long Life Coolant Premium or equivalent.
Please read this section in conjunction with the “Engine
coolant” on page 7-12.
[For RALLIART vehicles sold in U.S.A.]
Mitsubishi Motors recommends that the standard equip-
ment tires be replaced with winter tires when the vehicle
is going to be used in winter.
The standard equipment tires provided with this vehicle
are summer tires and use a high-grip compound that pro-
vides superior grip.
The road grip, however, is reduced in winter.
When replacing the standard equipment tires with winter
tires, all four tires must be replaced using radial identical-
size winter tires.NOTEAs your vehicle is equipped with a tire pressure monitor-
ing system, there is a risk of damage to the tire inflation
pressure sensors when the tire is replaced on the rim. Tire
replacement should, therefore, be performed only by an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.If you use new wheels with new tire inflation pressure
sensors, their ID codes must be programmed into the tire
pressure monitoring system. Refer to “Whenever the tires
and wheels are replaced with new ones” on page 3-173.

follow these procedures:
1. Set the blower speed selection dial to the “AUTO” posi-
tion.
2. Select the temperature control dial to the desired tempera-
ture. The temperature can be set within a range of around
61 to 89. The temperature will increase as the dial is

NOTESet the temperature at about 75 under normal conditions.
While the engine coolant temperature is low, the tempera-
ture of the air from the heater will be cool/cold until the
engine warms up, even if you have selected warm air with
the dial. To prevent the windshield and windows from
fogging up, the vent mode will be changed to “ ” or
“ ” and the blower speed will be reduced.
