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 dis-
played.
It is possible to measure two currently trav- eled distances, from home using trip odom- eter and from a particular point on theway using trip odometer .
To reset the trip odometer
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/kilo-meters.  When disconnecting the battery terminal, the memories of trip odom
eter displays and
are cleared, and thei
r displays return to
“0.0 miles/kilometers”.

ster than usual, check
for a burned out turn signal light bulb or mal-functioning connect
ion in the signal.
If the panel light does not come on when the lever is moved, check for a blown fuse or aburned out bulb in the panel. Have the system inspected by your autho- rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repairfacility of your choice.  It is possible to modify functions as follows: • Deactivate the turn signal light 3-flash function for lane changes. • Adjust the time required to operate the lever for the 3-flash function. • Changing of the tone of a sounding buzzer as the turn signal lights flash.

Safe driving techniques 6-4 Driving safety
6
Replace your tires before they are heavily worn out.On vehicles equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system, there
is a risk of damage
to the tire inflation pressure sensors when thetire is replaced on the
rim. Tire replacement
should, only be perform
ed by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer. Have someone watch while you turn all the exterior lights on and off. Also check the turn signal indicators and hi
gh-beam indicators on
the instrument panel. Check the ground under the vehicle after parking overnight, for
fuel, water, oil, or
other leaks. Make sure
all the fluid levels are
correct. Also, if you
can smell fuel, you need
to find out why imme
diately and have it
fixed.
N00629200137
Even this vehicle’s sa
fety equipment, and
your safest driving, ca
nnot guarantee that you
can avoid an accident or injury. However, if
you give extra attention to the following areas, you can better protect yourself andyour passengers:  Drive defensively. Be aware of traffic, road and weather c
onditions. Leave plenty
of stopping distance
between your vehicle
and the vehicle ahead.  Before changing lanes, check your mir- rors, your blind spots, and use your turn-signal light.  While driving, watch the behavior of other drivers, bicycl
ists, and pedestrians.
 Always obey applicab
le laws and regula-
tions. Be a polite and alert driver. Alwaysleave room for unexpected events, such as sudden braking.  If you plan to drive in another country, obey their vehicle re
gistration laws and
make sure you will be able to get the right fuel.
N00629400474
 Check the battery. At the same time, check the terminals and wiring. Duringextremely cold weather, the battery will not be as strong. Also, the battery power level may drop beca
use more power is
used for cold starting and driving.
Before driving the vehicle, check to see if the engine runs at the proper speed and ifthe headlights are as bright as normally. Charge or replace the battery if necessary. During extreme cold weather, it is possi-ble that a very low battery could freeze.  Warm the engine sufficiently. After start- ing the engine, allow a short warm-up time to distribute oil to all cylinders. Then drive your vehicle slowly. Stay at low speeds at first so that the man- ual transaxle oil or the automatic transaxle fluid has time to spread to all the lubrica-tion points.  Manual transaxle can be harder to shift in cold weather conditions. This is normaland shifting will get easier as the transaxle warms up.  Check the engine antifreeze. If there is not enough coolant because of a leak or from engine overheating, add Mitsubishi Motors Genuine Super LongLife Coolant Premium or equivalent.

N00942900349
Before replacing the bulb, be sure the light is off. Do not touch the glass part of the new bulb with your bare fingers; the oil from yourskin will stay on the glass and dim or destroy the bulb when it gets hot.
N00943000132
The bulb should only be replaced with a newbulb with the same rating and type. The type and rating are listed on the base of the bulb.
N00950301929
Replacement of light bulbs
CAUTION Bulbs are extremely hot immediately after being turned off. When replacing the bulb, wait for it to coolsufficiently before t
ouching it. You could
otherwise be burned. Handle halogen light bul
b with care. The gas
inside halogen light
bulb is highly pressur-
ized, so dropping, knocking, or scratching ahalogen light bulb can
cause it to shatter.
Never hold the halogen
light bulb with a bare
hand, dirty glove, etc. The oil from your hand could cause the bulb to break the next ti
me the headlights are
used. If the glass surface is dirty, clean it with alcohol and let it dr
y completely before
installing the bulb.
NOTE
 If you are unsure of how to carry out the work as required, it is recommended that these procedures be ca
rried out by an autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repairfacility of your choice.  Be careful not to scratch the vehicle body when removing a light and lens.  When it rains, or wh
en the vehicle has been
washed, the inside of the lens sometimes becomes temporarily foggy. This is the same phenomenon as when window glass mists upon a humid day, and does not indicate a func- tional problem. When the light is switched on, the heat willremove the fog. However, if water gathers inside the light, please
have it checked by an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or arepair facility of your choice.
