2014 MITSUBISHI MIRAGE fuel consumption

3-2 Features and controls
3Break-in recommendations
N00508700330
Advanced automobile manufacturing techniques permit you to
operate your new vehicle without requiring a long break-in
period of low-speed driving.
However, you can add to the future performance and economy
of your vehicle by observing the following precautions during
the first 300 miles (500 km).
Drive your vehicle at moderate speeds during the break-in
period.

Avoid revving the engine.

Avoid rough driving such as sudden starts, sudden accel-
eration, prolonged high-speed driving and sudden brak-
ing. These would have a detrimental effect on the engine
and also cause increased fuel and oil consumption, which
could result in malfunction of the engine components. Be
particularly careful to avoid full acceleration while in low
shift position (low gears).

Do not overload the vehicle. Stay within the seating
capacity. (Refer to “Cargo load precautions” on page 4-
13.)

Do not use this vehicle for trailer towing.

Tachometer
N00519200292
The tachometer shows engine revolutions per minute. This
allows the driver to determine the most efficient selector posi-
tion and engine speed combinations.
This gauge also assists in evaluating engine performance.
Multi-information display
N00555000278
The multi-information display displays the odometer, trip
odometer, service reminder, fuel remaining, selector lever posi-
tion, average fuel consumption, driving range, etc.
It is also possible to change elements such as the language and
units used on the multi-information display.NOTE
When the ignition switch or the operation mode is in OFF,
the selector lever position display and fuel remaining dis-
play are not displayed.
CAUTION
!
The red zone indicates an engine speed beyond the
range of safe operation.
Select the correct shift position (manual transaxle)
or selector position (CVT) to control the engine
speed so that the tachometer indicator does not
enter the red zone.

Average fuel consumption display
N00575300017
This displays the average fuel consumption from the last reset
to the present.
The reset mode conditions for the average fuel consumption
display can be switched between “Auto reset” and “Manual
reset”.

tion display setting, refer to “Changing the function settings”
on page 3-105.NOTE
The average fuel consumption display can be reset sepa-
rately in both auto reset mode and manual reset mode.

“---” is displayed when the average fuel consumption can-
not be measured.

Average fuel consumption may vary depend on the driv-
ing conditions (road conditions, how you drive, etc.).
The actual fuel consumption may differ from the fuel con-
sumption displayed, so treat the fuel consumption dis-
played as just a rough guideline.

Disconnecting the battery cable will erase from memory
the manual reset mode or auto reset mode setting for the
average fuel consumption display.

The display setting can be changed to the preferred units
{mpg, km/L, L/100 km}.
