Whenever the tires and wheels are replaced with
new ones
N00532900179
If new wheels with new tire inflation pressure sensors are
installed, their ID codes must be programmed into the tire pres-
sure monitoring system. Have tire and wheel replacement per-
formed 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.

3 Rear-view camera
(if so equipped)
N00546200115
When the gearshift lever or the selector lever is in the “R”
(REVERSE) position with the ignition switch in the “ON”
position, the rear-view image will be displayed on the screen of
the Mitsubishi Multi-Communication System in the center
panel or on the left portion of the inside rearview mirror.
When the gearshift lever or the selector lever is shifted out of
the “R” (REVERSE) position, the rear-view image will go off.
Location of rear-view cameraThe rear-view camera (A) is in the rear hatch, at the left side of
the rear hatch handle.
WA R N I N G
!
Never rely solely on the rear-view camera to clear
the area behind your vehicle. Always check visually
behind and all around your vehicle for persons, ani-
mals, obstructions or other vehicles. Failure to do so
can result in vehicle damage, serious injury or
death.
The rear-view camera is an aid system for backing
up, but it is not a substitute for your visual confir-
mation.
The view on the screen is limited, and objects out-
side the view, such as under the bumper or around
either corner of the bumper end, cannot be seen on
the screen.
CAUTION
!
If the camera lens gets dirty, a clear image cannot be
obtained. As necessary, rinse the lens with clean
water and gently wipe with a clean, soft cloth.
To avoid damaging the camera;
• Do not rub the cover excessively or polish it by
using an abrasive compound.
• Do not disassemble the camera.
• Do not splash hot water directly on the lens.
• Do not spray the camera and its surroundings with
high-pressure water.
• Make sure that the rear hatch is securely closed
when backing up.

Reference lines on the screenReference lines and upper surface of the rear bumper (A) are
displayed on the screen.

Red line (B) indicates approximately 20 inches (50 cm)
behind the rear bumper.

Two Green lines (C) indicate approximately 8 inches (20
cm) outside of the vehicle body.

Short transverse lines (1 to 3) indicate distance from the
rear bumper.1: Approximately at the rear edge of the rear bumper
2: Approximately 39 inches (100 cm)
3: Approximately 79 inches (200 cm)
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-
cated by the lines on the screen, depending on the
loading condition of the vehicle and road surface
condition.
The reference lines for distance and vehicle width
are based on a level, flat road surface. In the follow-
ing cases, objects shown on the screen will appear to
be farther off than they actually are.
• When the rear of the vehicle is weighed down with
the weight of passengers and luggage in the vehi-
cle. (Case 1)
• When there is an upward slope at the back.
(Case 2)

CAUTION
!
The reference lines for distance and vehicle width
are intended to indicate the distance to a flat object
such as a level, flat road surface. They may not indi-
cate correct distance depending on the shape of an
obstacle.
For example, when there is an object behind the
vehicle that has upper sections projecting in the
direction of the vehicle, the reference lines on the
screen will indicate that point A is the farthest point
and point B is the closest point to the vehicle. In real-
ity, point A and B are actually the same distance
from the vehicle, and point C is farther off than
point A and B.

Ta c h o m e t e r
N00519200247
The tachometer shows engine revolutions per minute. This
allows the driver to determine the most efficient shift position
(manual transaxle), selector position {continuously variable
transmission (CVT)} or shift position (Twin Clutch SST) and
engine speed combinations.
This gauge also assists in evaluating engine performance.
Ty p e 2
CAUTION
!
The red zone indicates an engine speed beyond the
range of safe operation.
Select the correct shift position (manual transaxle),
selector position (CVT) or gearshift position (Twin
Clutch SST) to control the engine speed so that the
tachometer indicator does not enter the red zone.

Rheostat meter illumination button
N00554900179
Each time you press this button, there is a sound and the bright-
ness of the instruments changes.
NOTE
You can adjust to 8 different levels respectively for when
the tail lights are illuminated and when they are not.

If the vehicle is equipped with the automatic light control,
when the light switch is in a position other than the “OFF”
position, the meter illumination switches automatically to
the adjusted brightness, depending on the brightness out-
side the vehicle.

The brightness level of the instruments is stored in mem-
ory when the ignition switch is turned off.

If you press and hold the button for longer than about 1
second when the parking lights are illuminated, the bright-
ness level changes to the maximum level. Pressing and
holding the button for longer than about 1 second again
returns the brightness level to the previous level.
