NOTElWhen the ignition switch or the operation mode is OFF, the driving range display, average fuel consumption display and outside temperature display are not
displayed.
l While driving, the service reminder is not displayed even if you operate the multi information display switch.

Odometer
E00527801123
The odometer indicates the distance travel-
led.
Tripmeter
E00527901094
The tripmeter indicates the distance travelled between two points.

Example usage of tripmeter
and tripmeter
It is possible to measure two currently
travelled distances, from home using
tripmeter
and from a particular point
on the way using tripmeter
.

To reset the tripmeter
To return the display to 0, hold down the multi information display switch for about 2
seconds or more. Only the currently dis-
played value will be reset.

Example
If tripmeter is displayed, only tripmeter
will be reset.NOTEl When disconnecting the battery terminal, the
memory of tripmeter and are
cleared, and the display returns to “0”.Meter illumination control

The fuel remaining display indicates the fuel
level in the fuel tank when the ignition switch or the operation mode is ON.
1- Full
0- Empty
NOTEl It may take several seconds to stabilise the
display after refilling the tank.
l If fuel is added with the ignition switch or
the operation mode is ON, the fuel gauge
may incorrectly indicate the fuel level.
l The fuel lid mark (A) indicates that the fuel
tank filler door is located on the left side of the vehicle.Fuel remaining warning dis-
play

If the remaining fuel level is approximately
10 litres or less (one segment displayed)
when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode is
changed to ON, the last segment of the fuel gauge flashes. If the remaining fuel level is
reduced further, the last segment of the fuel gauge goes out and “
” flash.
CAUTIONl Do not drive with an extremely low fuel lev-
el; running out of fuel could cause damage to the fuel system.NOTEl On inclines or curves, the display may be in-
correct due to the movement of fuel in the
tank.Service reminder

Headlamps
NOTElDo not leave the lamps on for a long time
while the engine is stationary (not running).A run-down battery could result.
l When it rains, or when the vehicle has been
washed, the inside of the lens sometimes be-
comes foggy, but this does not indicate a
functional problem.
When the lamp is switched on, the heat will remove the fog. However, if water gathers
inside the lamp, we recommend you to have it checked.
l The bulbs of the high intensity discharge
headlamps (if so equipped) have the follow-
ing characteristics.
• While the headlamps are used, the light
will gradually become a bluish-white col- our.
• The life time of a bulb becomes shorter as
it is repeatedly turned on and off. Whenthe bulb approaches the end of its life time, the brightness may decrease, the
bulb may flicker, and the light may be- come a reddish colour. If this occurs, have
the vehicle inspected by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.NOTE

Economical drivingE00600102608
For economical driving, there are some tech- nical requirements that have to be met. Theprerequisite for low fuel consumption is a
properly adjusted engine. In order to achieve longer life of the vehicle and the most eco- nomical operation, we recommend you tohave the vehicle checked at regular intervals in accordance with the service standards.
Fuel economy and generation of exhaust gas
and noise are highly influenced by personal
driving habits as well as the particular operat- ing conditions. The following points shouldbe observed in order to minimize wear of
brakes, tyres and engine as well as to reduce
environmental pollution.
Accelerating and decelerating
Drive according to the traffic conditions andavoid sudden starts, sudden acceleration and
sudden braking, as they will increase fuel
consumption.
Shifting
Shift only at an appropriate speed and engine speed. Always use the highest shift position
possible.
The transfer shift lever or the drive mode-se-
lector should be set to “2H” when driving 4WD vehicles on normal roads and express
ways to obtain best possible fuel economy.
City traffic
Frequent starting and stopping increases the
average fuel consumption. Use roads with smooth traffic flow whenever possible. When driving on congested roads, avoid use of a
low shift position at high engine speeds.
Idling
The vehicle consumes fuel even during idling. Avoid extended idling whenever pos-
sible.
Speed
At higher vehicle speed, more fuel is con-
sumed. Avoid driving at full speed. Even a slight release of the accelerator pedal willsave a significant amount of fuel.
Tyre inflation pressure
Check the tyre inflation pressures at regular intervals. Low tyre inflation pressure increa-ses road resistance and fuel consumption. In addition, low tyre pressures adversely affect
tyre wear and driving stability.
Cargo loads
Do not drive with unnecessary articles in the
luggage compartment. Especially during city
driving where frequent starting and stopping is necessary, the increased weight of the ve-
hicle will greatly affect fuel consumption. Al- so avoid driving with unnecessary luggage or carriers, etc., on the roof; the increased air re- sistance will increase fuel consumption.
Cold engine starting
Starting of a cold engine consumes more fuel. Unnecessary fuel consumption is alsocaused by keeping a hot engine running. Af-
ter the engine is started, commence driving as soon as possible.
Cooler or air conditioning
The use of the air conditioner will increase the fuel consumption.
Driving, alcohol and drugs
E00600200070
Driving after drinking alcohol is one of the
most frequent causes of accidents.
