Odometer
N00574900016
The odometer indicates the total distance the vehicle has trav-
eled.Trip odometer
N00575000014
The trip odometer indicates the distance traveled between two
points.To reset the trip odometerTo return the display to 0, hold down the multi-information dis-
play switch for about 1 second or more. Only the currently dis-
played value will be reset.
Example
If trip odometer is displayed, only trip odometer will
be reset.NOTE
Both trip odometers and can count up to 9999.9
miles/kilometers.
When a trip odometer goes past 9999.9 miles/kilometers,
it returns to 0.0 miles/kilometers.

When disconnecting the battery terminal, the memories of
trip odometer displays and are cleared, and their
displays return to “0.0 miles/kilometers”.
Instrument panel light dimmer control
N00575100015
Each time you press the multi-information display switch (2),
there is a sound and the brightness of the instrument panel
lights changes.
Usage examples for trip odometer , trip odometer

NOTE
You can adjust to 8 different levels for when the parking
lights or headlights are illuminated and 8 for when they
are not.
Each time you reduce two brightness levels, the segment
display of the brightness level decreases one by one.

If you press and hold the switch for longer than about 1
second, the brightness automatically scrolls through its
different levels, and stops scrolling when you release the
switch. Select your desired level of brightness.

The brightness level of the instruments is stored when the
ignition switch is turned to the “OFF” position or the
operation mode is put in OFF.
Driving range display
N00575200016
This displays the approximate driving range (how many more
miles or kilometers you can drive). When the driving range
falls below approximately 30 miles (50 km), “---” is displayed.NOTE
The 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 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
breakdown.

The display setting can be changed to the preferred units
(miles or km).
Refer to “Changing the function settings” on page 3-105.

Brake warning light and buzzer
N00520400526
This light comes on when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position (engine off) or the operation mode is put in ON.
When the engine is started, the light should go off a few sec-
onds later.
The warning light also illuminates after starting the engine
under the following conditions.

When the parking brake is still applied.

When the brake fluid level is low.

When the brake system circuit is not working properly.
When the vehicle is moving at more than 5 mph (8 km/h) and
the parking brake applied, a buzzer will sound to inform the
driver that the parking brake is not properly release.
Before driving, be sure that the parking brake is fully released
and the brake warning light is off.
CAUTION
!
If the brake warning light and the Anti-lock braking
system warning light are illuminated at the same
time, the braking force distribution function will not
operate, the vehicle may be destabilized during sud-
den braking under the following conditions.
• When the brake warning light does not go out even
when the parking brake is released.
• When the brake warning light stays on while driv-
ing.If the above occurs, avoid sudden braking and high-
speed driving. Park the vehicle in a safe place, and
contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a
repair facility of your choice as soon as possible.

The vehicle should be brought to a halt in the follow-
ing manner when brake performance is deterio-
rated.
• Confirm that the vehicle slows down when you
press down on the brake pedal harder than usual.
In some cases, the brake pedal may go all the way
to the floor.
• Should the brakes fail, use engine braking to
reduce your speed and slowly apply the parking
brake.
Depress the brake pedal to illuminate the stop
lights and to alert the vehicles behind you.

Engine malfunction indicator (“SERVICE
ENGINE SOON” or “Check engine light”)
N00520500804
This indicator is a part of the onboard diagnostic (OBD) sys-
tem which monitors the emissions, engine control system or
continuously variable transmission (CVT) control system. If a
problem is detected in one of these systems, this indicator illu-
minates or flashes. When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position or the operation mode is put in ON, this indica-
tor normally comes on and goes off after the engine has started.
This indicator will come on if the fuel tank filler cap is not
properly tightened. If this 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.
NOTE
Do 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.
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
switch is turned to the “ON” position or the opera-
tion mode is put in ON, have the system checked at
an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair
facility of your choice.

If the engine malfunction indicator comes on while
the engine is running, 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 a vehicle with a CVT has a stronger ten-
dency to creep forward.

any door or the liftgate is open or ajar, a tone will sound 4
times to inform the driver that any door or the liftgate is not
properly shut.NOTE
When the auto cut-out function of the doom light is been
activated, the light goes out automatically after about 30
minutes.

When it rains, or when the vehicle has been washed, the
inside of the lens sometimes becomes foggy. This is the
same as when window glass mists up on a humid day, and
does not indicate a problem. When the light is switched
on, the heat will dry out the fog. However, if water col-
lects inside the light, have it checked by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice.OFF The daytime running lights illuminated
