Odometer/Trip odometerThe operation method is the same as when the ignition switch
is in the “OFF” position.
For further details, refer to “Odometer/Trip odometer” on page
3-170.Service reminderShows the distance and number of months until the next peri-
odic inspection.
Refer to “Service reminder” on page 3-184.Engine coolant temperature displayShows the engine coolant temperature.
If the coolant becomes hot, “ ” will blink.
Pay careful attention to the engine coolant temperature display
while you are driving.
Driving range displayShows the approximate driving range (how many more miles
or kilometers you can drive) with the current fuel level. When
this driving range falls below 30 miles (50 km), “---” is dis-
played.
Refuel as soon as possible.NOTEThe driving range is determined based on the fuel con-
sumption data. This may vary depending on the driving
conditions and habits. Treat the distance displayed as just
a rough guideline.
When you refuel, the driving range display is automati-
cally updated.
However, if you only add a small amount of fuel, the cor-
rect value will not be displayed. Fill to a full tank when-
ever possible.
When your vehicle is stopped on an extremely steep hill,
the driving range value may change. This is due to the
movement of fuel in the tank and does not indicate any
problem.
The display setting can be changed to the preferred units
(miles or km).
Refer to “Changing the function settings (With ignition
switch in the “ON” position)” on page 3-187.
CAUTION
!If the engine is overheating, “ ” will blink. In this
case, the bar graph is on the red zone. Immediately
park the vehicle in a safe place and take the required
measures. Refer to “Engine overheating” on page 6-
5.

4 Driving during cold weather
N00629400344
Check the battery, including terminals and cables. During
extremely cold weather, the battery will not be as strong.
Also, the battery power level may drop because 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 if the headlights are as bright as
normally. Charge or replace the battery if necessary. Dur-
ing extreme cold weather, it is possible that a very low
battery could freeze.
Warm the engine sufficiently. After starting the engine,
allow a short warm-up time to distribute oil to all cylin-
ders and turbocharger. Then drive your vehicle slowly.
Stay at low speeds at first so that the transaxle, transfer
case and rear axle oil have time to spread to all the lubri-
cation points.
Manual transaxle can be harder to shift in cold weather
conditions. This is normal and 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 Dia Queen Super Long Life
Coolant Premium or equivalent.
Please read this section in conjunction with the “Engine
coolant” on page 7-12.
[For RALLIART vehicles sold in U.S.A.]
Mitsubishi Motors recommends that the standard equip-
ment tires be replaced with winter tires when the vehicle
is going to be used in winter.
The standard equipment tires provided with this vehicle
are summer tires and use a high-grip compound that pro-
vides superior grip.
The road grip, however, is reduced in winter.
When replacing the standard equipment tires with winter
tires, all four tires must be replaced using radial identical-
size winter tires.
NOTEAs your vehicle is equipped with a tire pressure monitor-
ing system, there is a risk of damage to the tire inflation
pressure sensors when the tire is replaced on the rim. Tire
replacement should, therefore, be performed only by an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
WA R N I N G
!The battery gives off explosive hydrogen gas. Any
spark or flame can cause the battery to explode,
which could cause serious injury or death.
Always wear protective clothes and a face mask
when working with your battery, or let a skilled
mechanic do it.
WA R N I N G
!Never open the radiator cap when the radiator is
hot. You could be seriously burned.

4-8 Driving safety
4Loading information
N00629900349
It is very important to know how much weight your vehicle can
carry. This weight is called the vehicle capacity weight and
includes the weight of all occupants, cargo and non-factory-
installed options. The tire and loading information placard
located on the driver’s door sill of your vehicle will show how
much weight it may properly carry.
It is important to familiarize yourself with the following terms
before loading your vehicle:
Vehicle maximum load on the tire: load on an individual
tire that is determined by distributing to each axle its share
of the maximum loaded vehicle weight and dividing by
two.
Vehicle normal load on the tire: load on an individual tire
that is determined by distributing to each axle its share of
the curb weight, accessory weight, and normal occupant
weight and dividing by two.
Maximum loaded vehicle weight: the sum of -
(a) Curb weight;
(b) Accessory weight;
(c) Vehicle capacity weight; and
(d) Production options weight.Curb weight: the weight of a motor vehicle with standard
equipment including the maximum capacity of fuel, oil,
and coolant.
Accessory weight: the combined weight (in excess of
those standard items which may be replaced) of automatic
transmission, power steering, power brakes, power win-
dows, power seats, radio, and heater, to the extent that
these items are available as factory- installed equipment
(whether installed or not).
Vehicle capacity weight: the rated cargo and luggage load
plus 150 lbs (68 kg)* times the vehicle’s designated seat-
ing capacity.
Production options weight: the combined weight of those
installed regular production options weighing over 5 lbs
(2.3 kg) in excess of those standard items which they
replace, not previously considered in curb weight or
accessory weight, including heavy duty brakes, ride level-
ers, roof rack, heavy duty battery, and special trim.
Normal occupant weight: 150 lbs (68 kg)* times the num-
ber of specified occupants. (In your vehicle the number is
3)
Occupant distribution: distribution of occupants in a vehi-
cle as specified. (In your vehicle the distribution is 2 in
front, 1 in second row seat)
WA R N I N G
!Never overload your vehicle. Overloading can dam-
age your vehicle, adversely affect vehicle perfor-
mance, including handling and braking, cause tire
failure, and result in an accident.
*: 150 lbs (68 kg) is the weight of one person as defined by
U.S.A. and Canadian regulations.

Side ventsMove the knob to make adjustments.
To close the vent, move the knob to the outside as far as possi-
ble.NOTEOn rare occasions, air from the vents of an air-conditioned
vehicle may be foggy. This is only moist air cooling sud-
denly and does not indicate a problem.
Do not let drinks or other liquids get into the vents as they
could prevent the air conditioning from operating nor-
mally.
Changing the mode selection
N00736400493
To change the position and amount of air flowing from the
vents, turn the mode selection dial. Refer to “Mode selection
dial” on page 5-7, 5-13, 5-23, 5-33, 5-43.
These symbols are used in the next several illustrations to dem-
onstrate the quantity of air coming from the vents.

Air selection switch
N00736800367
Normally, use the outside air position to keep the windshield
and side windows clear and to quickly remove fog or frost
from the windshield.
To change the air selection, simply press the air selection
switch. A sound will be made every time you push the switch.
Outside air {Indicator light (A) OFF}
Recirculated air {Indicator light (A) ON}
When the air conditioning turns on, the air selection is con-
trolled automatically.
When the air conditioning turns off, the air selection automati-
cally goes back to the outside air position.
The air selection indicator light (A) shows the selected posi-
tion.
NOTEWhen the air conditioning operates with the air selection
switch (A) in the outside air position, the system automat-
ically determines whether to continue using outside air or
to perform recirculation.
If the outside temperature is high, the system selects recir-
culation to achieve rapid cooling and causes the air selec-
tion indicator in the switch to illuminate. When the air
conditioning turns off or the blower speed selection dial is
set to the “OFF” position, the air selection automatically
goes back to the outside position.
If the outside air is dusty or contaminated in some way, use the
recirculation position. Switch to the outside air position every
now and then to keep the windows from fogging up.
CAUTION
!Using recirculated air for a long time may cause the
windows to fog up.
