Energy usage indicator
E00529600014
The
consumption power of the electric motor unit
and the air conditioning, and charged power of elec-
tric energy generated from the regenerative brake
are indicated.
When the ready indicator illuminates, the indicat-
ing needle moves to the standard position (A) and
moves to the left or right according to the use con-
ditions of the vehicle.

[When the indicating needle moves to the right of
the standard position]
Indicates consumption power of the electric motor
unit and the air conditioning.
The more the needle moves to the right, the more
electrical power is being consumed.

[When the indicating needle moves to the left of
the standard position]
Indicates charged power of electric energy gener-
ated from regenerative braking.
The more the needle moves to the left, the more
electric energy is charged. Odometer/Tripmeter/Meter illumina-

If there is no operation for about 10 seconds
when the meter illumination control or serv-
ice reminder is shown, the display returns to
the odometer.
Odometer E00530800016
The odometer indicates the total distance the vehi-
cle has travelled.

ing a particular trip or period.
There

are two tripmeter displays: Tripmeter and .
Tripmeter can be used to measure the distance
travelled

since the current trip began. At the same
time, Tripmeter can be used to measure the dis-
tance from an intermediate location.
NOTE
l Even

if the electric motor switch is turned to

Resetting the service reminder
With the electric motor switch in the “LOCK” posi-
tion or the “ACC” position, it is possible to reset
the spanner mark (A) and “------” indication (B). When they have been reset, the driving distance or
number

of months remaining until the next inspec-
tion are shown and the spanner mark (A) is no lon-
ger shown every time the electric motor switch is
turned from the “LOCK” position or the “ACC” po-
sition to the “ON” position. 1. Push
the reset button (D) to view the driving
distance or number of months remaining un-
til the next inspection.
2. Give the reset button (D) a long push (at least two seconds) to make the spanner mark
(A) start flashing. (If you do not touch the re-
set button for 10 seconds while the spanner
mark is flashing, the display will revert to its
original indication.)
3. Give the reset button (D) a gentle push while the spanner mark is flashing. The “------” in-
dication (B) will change to “cLEAr” (C). 4. The
driving distance or number of months re-
maining until the next inspection will be
shown. CAUTION
l
Daily
and periodic inspections and main-
tenance are your responsibility. Be sure
to perform them to help prevent acci-
dents and breakdowns.
NOTE l It

is not possible to reset the “------” indica-
tion (B) with the electric motor switch in the
“ON” position.
l When a certain distance has been driven and
a certain period has elapsed after appearance
of the “------” indication (B), the indication is
automatically reset and the number of
months until the next periodic inspection is
shown.

time you press the daytime dipper button (2),
the brightness of the instruments changes.

2-

Daytime dipper button
NOTE l You can adjust to 4 different levels for when
the tail lamps are illuminated and 4 for when
they are not.
l When the lamp switch is in the “AUTO” po-
sition, the meter illumination switches auto-
matically to the adjusted brightness, depend-
ing on the brightness outside the vehicle.
l The brightness level of the instruments is stor-
ed when the electric motor switch is turned off. l
If
you press and hold the button for longer
than about 1 second, the brightness automati-
cally scrolls through its different levels, and
stops scrolling when you release the button.
Select your desired level of brightness.
Cruising range indicator E00529900020
This displays the approximate cruising range (how
many

more kilometres or miles you can drive).
When the cruising range becomes short, the indica-
tion changes to “---”.
NOTE
l The cruising range is displayed based on the
past drive data. It may vary depending on the
driving condition (road condition, driving sit-
uation, etc.) and air conditioning operation
status.
For example, the cruising range can be short-
ened by driving on congested roads, by driv-
ing uphill, by repeated hard acceleration, and
by use of the air conditioner and heater.
When the auxiliary battery terminal is discon-
nected, the power consumption data of the
traction battery in the past is deleted. A dif-
ferent value from before may be displayed.
Be sure to use the display only for reference.
l When the traction battery is charged, the cruis-
ing range is updated. If the charge level is
low, the correct value is not displayed.
l On vehicles with speedometer of Type 2, the
display setting can be changed to the prefer-
red units (km or miles).
Refer to “Changing the display unit*” on
page 4-02. Energy level gauge
E00530000018
The

energy level gauge indicates the remaining pow-
er in the traction battery during charging or when
the electric motor switch is in the “ON” position. F- Battery is fully powered.
E- Charge the battery.

Low energy warning indicator
E00530300011When the electric motor switch is in the “ON” posi-
tion
and the remaining bar of the energy level
gauge shows 2 bars or less, the warning indicator
(A) and the graduation (B) flash as follows:

When the energy level gauge shows 2 bars: The
warning indicator flashes.
When the energy level gauge shows 1 bar: The warn-
ing indicator and the graduation flash alternately.

Recharge the traction battery as soon as possible.
NOTE
l If the energy level gauge shows 0 bars dur-
ing use of the air conditioning (cooling or
heating), the air conditioning stops operation
and the mode is changed to fan only.
l If the energy level gauge shows 0 bars, the
power down warning lamp is illuminated to
control the output. l
If
the energy level gauge shows 2 bars while
the traction battery is being charged, the warn-
ing indicator flashes. If the energy level
gauge shows 1 bar while the traction battery
is being charged, the warning indicator and
the graduation flash alternately. Instruments and controls

tion, and goes off after a few seconds
when the parking brake is released. Be-
fore driving your vehicle, release the
parking brake and make certain that the

WARNING
• The brake warning lamp does not illuminate while
the parking brake is applied
and the electric motor
switch is in the “ON” posi-
tion.
• The brake warning lamp stays on when the parking
brake is not applied.
NOTE l When

the brake warning lamp illu-
minates, the warning buzzer may
also sound.
l When the brake pedal has been re-
peatedly depressed over a short pe-
riod of time, the brake warning
lamp may come on and the brake
warning buzzer may sound. The
service brake system is working
normally, if the warning lamp
goes out and the buzzer stops
sounding after a few seconds.
l At times, you may hear the brake
electric vacuum pump for the pow-
er brakes operating when the
ready indicator illuminates or the
brake pedal is depressed.
This sound is normal and does not
indicate a malfunction. Auxiliary battery charge warn-
ing lamp
E00502701251
This

warning lamp will illuminate when
there is a fault with the charging system
of the auxiliary battery.
Normally, when the electric motor
switch is turned to the “ON” position,
this warning lamp will illuminate. Then,
when the electric motor unit is started
and the ready indicator illuminates, the
warning lamp will go out. CAUTION
l
If the warning lamp stays on af-
ter

the ready indicator illumi-
nates, there may be a problem
with the charging system for
the auxiliary battery. • Immediately park your vehi-cle in a safe place and we rec-
ommend you to have it
checked.
• Do not charge the auxiliary battery. Door ajar warning lamp
E00503300840
This

lamp illuminates when either of the
doors (also, the tailgate) is not complete-
ly closed. If the vehicle speed exceeds about
8

km/h (5 mph) with a door ajar, the warn-

same time, the buzzer will sound 16
times to notify the driver that a door is
ajar. CAUTION
l
Before
moving your vehicle,
check that the warning lamp is
OFF.
NOTE l The

flashing of the warning lamp
and the buzzer can be disabled.
For further information, we recom-
mend you to consult a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point.
l When the driver’s door is open,
the door ajar warning buzzer does
not sound because the electric mo-
tor reminder or selector lever re-
minder sounds. Electric motor unit warning
