NOTE
(1) The display unit (ex. km or mile) and
brightness can be changed as desired.
(Refer to“Display brightness
adjustment/Display unit selection”on
page 4-35.) When the system cannot
provide a definite value for average fuel
consumption/driving range/average
speed, it is displayed as“
”.
(2) The figure of the display varies accord-
ing to the conditions under which a
vehicle is travelling (road conditions, the
manner in which the vehicle is being
driven, etc.).
Observe display for reference because
the figure of the display may differ from
the actual figure.

Outside temperature
ED92K-E
This value (A) shows the outside tempera-
ture of the vehicle.
NOTE
(1) The outside temperature can be dis-
played from -40°Cto50°C.
(2) The outside temperature displayed may
differ from the actual temperature on
account of surrounding conditions, driv-
ing conditions, etc.
(3) If the temperature outside the vehicle
is below -40°C or over 50°C, an error
message will be displayed (-40°C, 50
°C).
D92K002A
If the outside air temperature drops below
approx 3°C, the alarm sounds and the road
surface freeze warning symbol (B) flashes
for about 10 seconds.
CAUTION
There is a danger the road might be
frozen even when the symbol (A) is
not illuminated, so please take care
when driving.

Display mode
ED92G-I
For petrol-powered vehicles with MITSUB-
ISHI genuine audio, driving range and aver-
age speed can be displayed besides
average fuel consumption by pushing the
“DISP”button in the audio.
When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON”position, the display shows the 3
items sequentially (Average fuel consump-
tion→Driving range→Average speed)
and returns to the original display that is
shown before the ignition switch was last
turned to the“OFF”position.
NOTE
If the DISP button is pressed while the dis-
play is scrolling through the sequence men-
tioned above, the display stops scrolling
and shows the item that was shown before
the ignition switch was last turned to the
“OFF”position.

This value shows the average fuel con-
sumption (in L/100 km or mpg) since the
display was reset. If you reset the display
at the time when you want to start the mea-
surements, average fuel consumption from
that point of time can be displayed.
To reset the display
[Vehicles without MITSUBISHI genuine
audio]
Push the button (A) for more than 2 sec-
onds.

Type 1[Vehicles with MITSUBISHI genuine audio]
Push the“DISP”button for more than 2
seconds.
NOTE
(1) When the ignition switch is turned on,
the average fuel consumption which
was being displayed when the igni-
tion switch was previously turned off will
be displayed once again.
(2) Average fuel consumption varies
according to the conditions under which
a vehicle is travelling (road condi-
tions, the manner in which the vehicle
is being driven, etc.).
Observe this display for reference
because the fuel consumption dis-
play may differ from the actual fuel con-
sumption.

Driving range
(Petrol-powered vehicles only)
ED92C-E
For vehicles with MITSUBISHI genuine
audio, driving range can be displayed. This
value shows the distance (in km or miles)
that can be driven on the fuel remaining in
the fuel tank.NOTE
(1) When the driving range is displayed, if
the driving range drops below 50km
(30miles), alarm sounds and the dis-
play shows a flashing. When this
occurs, top up the fuel tank as soon as
possible.
Even when an item other than the driv-
ing range is currently displayed, the
alarm sounds and the driving range
appears for 5 seconds when the driv-
ing range drops to 50km, 25km and
10km (or 30 miles, 15miles and 6
miles) levels. Then, the original item is
again displayed.
(2) The driving range varies depending on
road conditions, the manner of driv-
ing and other related factors. Conse-
quently, the display should be used
only as a guide. It is recommended to
add fuel as soon as the low fuel indi-
cation lamp in the instrument cluster
illuminates.
(Refer to“Low fuel indication lamp”on
page 4-9.)
(3) Refueling will update the driving range
indication. However, when the amount
of refueling is too little, the correct
range will not be displayed, so make
sure to supply the minimum amount of
fuel (25 litres or more).(4) The driving range displayed is based on
previous fuel consumption data. Dis-
connecting the battery cable will result
in the deletion of existing fuel consump-
tion data, which will affect the unit’s cal-
culations.
(5) The driving range figure can occasion-
ally increase if the vehicle is stopped on
an incline. This is because the fuel has
moved in the tank because of the
incline and is not considered as a fault.

The following information will be dis-
played from the trip computer system.
1. Average speed
2. Average fuel consumption
3. Driving rangeNOTE
(1) This display is not show for
diesel-powered vehicles.
(2) If this display is shown for

1. Average speed
2. Average fuel consumption
These values show the average speed (in
km/h or mph) and the average fuel con-
sumption (in L/100 km, or km/L) since the
display was reset. If you reset the display
at the time when you want to start the mea-
surements, average fuel consumption from
that point of time can be displayed.
To reset the display push the“RESET”
function button.NOTE
(1) When the system cannot provide a defi-
nite value for the average speed, this
display shows“
km”.
(2) Average fuel consumption varies
according to the conditions under which
a vehicle is travelling (road condi-
tions, the manner in which the vehicle
is being driven, etc.).
Observe this display for reference
because the fuel consumption dis-
play may differ from the actual fuel con-
sumption.
3. Driving range
This value shows the distance (in km or
miles) that can be driven on the fuel
remaining in the fuel tank.
When the driving range mode is dis-
played and the driving range drops below
50km/h (30miles), the display will blink
orange.

(8) Stop driving the vehicle if you think the
performance is noticeably low, or that
there is unnecessary engine rotation, or
any other engine trouble, such as with
the ignition, etc.
If it is impractical to stop driving imme-
diately, reduce the speed and drive for
only a short time. Have an inspection
made by your nearest authorized
MITSUBISHI dealer as soon as pos-
sible.
(9) In unusual situations involving grossly
malfunctioning engine operation, a
burnt smell may indicate severe and
abnormal catalyst overheating.
If this occurs, the vehicle should be
stopped in a safe place, the engine
switched off and the vehicle allowed to
cool. Once the engine is cool, a ser-
vice, including a tune-up to manufac-
turer’s specifications, should be
obtained immediately.
Economical driving
EC19AAX
For economical driving, there are some
technical requirements that have to be met.
The prerequisite for low fuel consumption
is a properly adjusted engine. In order to
achieve longer life of the vehicle and the
most economical operation, have the
vehicle serviced by an authorized
MITSUBISHI dealer at regular intervals in
accordance with the service standards.
Fuel economy and generation of exhaust
gas and noise are highly influenced by per-
sonal driving habits as well as the particu-
lar operating conditions. The following
points should be observed in order to mini-
mize wear of brakes, tyres and engine as
well as to reduce environmental pollu-
tion.
(1)Starting
Avoid rapid acceleration and sudden
starts; such operation will result in
higher fuel consumption.
(2)Shifting
Shift only at an appropriate speed and
engine speed. Always use the high-
est gear possible.
The transfer shift lever should be set to
“2H”when driving on normal roads and
express ways to obtain best possible
fuel economy.(3)City traffic
Frequent starting and stopping
increases the average fuel consump-
tion. Use roads with smooth traffic flow
whenever possible. When driving on
congested roads, avoid use of a low
gear at high engine speeds.
(4)Idling
The vehicle consumes fuel even dur-
ing idling. Avoid extended idling when-
ever possible.
(5)Speed
The higher the vehicle speed, the more
fuel consumed. Avoid driving at full
speed. Even a slight release of the
accelerator pedal will save a signifi-
cant amount of fuel.
(6)Tyre inflation pressure
Check the tyre inflation pressures at
regular intervals. Low tyre inflation
pressure increases road resistance and
fuel consumption. In addition, low tyre
pressures adversely affect tyre wear
and driving stability.
