Multi center display
When the ignition key is in the “ACC” or “ON” position, the digital clock, the outside temperature (if so equipped) and the electronic compass (if so equipped) are displayed in the multi center display. When the ignition key is in the “ACC” or “ON” position and the audio system is activate, the audio information is displayed in the multi center display.
NOTE ● Putting a cellular phone in the monitor’s small storage
compartment may weaken the phone’s reception. This is typical and does not mean that something is wrong with the system.
● Use of wireless devices such as transceivers near the mon- itor may make the screen go dark temporarily. This is typ- ical and does not mean that something is wrong with the system.
CAUTION! ● Before driving, make sure that the door-ajar warn-
ing light is off. WARNING!
● When operating the system for a prolonged period, make sure the vehicle is parked in a well ventilated area to avoid the accumulation of toxic fumes inside and outside of the passenger compartment.
CAUTION! ● The driver should not operate the display while the
vehicle is in motion.
● When operating the system, stop the vehicle in a safe area.

Features and controls
Electronic compass (type 1 only)
The electronic compass (A) shows the direction of the vehicle by the 8 direction using the earth’s magnetic field.
The direction of the vehicle is indicated by the symbols shown below.
NOTE ● The electronic compass may not show the correct direc-
tion in the following places where the earth’s magnetic field is disrupted. In these cases, the correct direction will be displayed once the vehicle returns to a place where the earth’s magnetic field is stable. • Vehicle in tunnels or parked in buildings • Expressways, near railroads, underneath railroad cables,
or over subways • Near transformer stations or high voltage power lines
● Do not attach ski racks, antennas, or any other object to the vehicle by means of a magnet. Such magnets will affect the operation of the electronic compass.

Features and controls
Compass variance
Under certain circumstances, as during a long distance cross- country trip, it will be necessary to adjust for compass vari- ance. Compass variance is the difference between the earth’s mag- netic north and the true geographic north. If not adjusted to account for this compass variance, your compass could give false readings.
NOTE ● The compass adjustment mode will automatically shut off,
if no adjustment is made within about 10 seconds.
To adjust for compass variance
1. Find your current geographic location and the correct cor- responding zone number on the zone map.
CAUTION! ● Adjust for compass variance when the vehicle is
safely parked. Although the compass variance can be adjusted at speeds of less than 2 mph (3 km/h), it should be adjusted when the vehicle is safely parked.
Features and controls
2. When the ignition key is in the “ON” position, simulta- neously press the “H” button and “M” button. Release the “H” button and “M” button within 10 seconds, and the electronic compass will switch to its compass setting mode.
3. With the electronic compass in its compass setting mode, press the “M” button to cause the display (A) to show the zone number that is set.
Features and controls
4. Press the “M” button until the correct zone number appears in the display.
NOTE ● Every time the “M” button is pressed, the zone number
changes as follows: 01 → 02 → … 15 → 01
5. When the zone number adjustment has been completed, press the “H” button. The display will return to its previous display.
Features and controls
Compass calibration
This compass is self-calibrating, which means it automatically makes corrections against magnetization of its components when the vehicle is running. It should not be necessary to man- ually calibrate the compass. If the indicated direction appears to be wrong, first check the compass variance. If the compass variance is correct, but the compass still shows the wrong direction, calibrate the compass by the following steps.
NOTE ● The compass adjustment mode will automatically shut off,
if no adjustment is made within about 10 seconds.
1. When the ignition key is in the “ON” position, simulta- neously press the “H” button and “M” button. Release the “H” button and “M” button within 10 seconds, and the electronic compass will switch to its compass setting mode.
CAUTION! ● Adjust for compass calibration when the vehicle is
safely parked. Although the compass calibration can be adjusted at speeds of less than 2 mph (3 km/h), it should be adjusted when the vehicle is safely parked.
Features and controls
2. With the electronic compass in its compass setting mode, press the “H” button to cause the electronic compass to switch to its compass calibration mode.
3. Drive the vehicle slowly through one or more 360° turns until the calibration has been completed in either direction in a safe, open space with no other vehicles or buildings around. This will automatically complete the adjustment, calibrating the compass to the correct azimuth.
Features and controls
NOTE ● If you drive through multiple 360° turns but calibration is
still not successfully completed, try performing the cali- bration procedure in an open space that is completely free of rail lines, tall buildings, and high-voltage power lines.
● The display (A) will show “ ” in the following circum- stances. If this happens, repeat the procedure starting with step 1. • The “H” button is pressed again after selection of the
compass calibration mode. • The vehicle is driven through one or more 360° turns for
compass calibration, but the procedure is not successful.
Error message
In the event of a malfunction in the electronic compass, the dis- play (A) will show “EE”. Please have your vehicle inspected at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
Features and controls
Digital clock
The time (A) is shown in the center of the display. Adjusting the time
Set the time by pressing the various buttons as described below.
NOTE ● If the battery cables are disconnected or the battery
becomes discharged, the clock will have to be reset.
Outside temperature (type 1 only)
This value (A) shows the outside temperature of the vehicle.
NOTE ● The outside temperature can be displayed from -40 °F
(-40 °C) to 122 °F (50 °C). ● When the outside temperature is over 122 °F (50 °C) or
below -40 °F (-40 °C), the display will remain 122 °F (50 °C) or -40 °F (-40 °C).
● The outside temperature displayed may differ from the actual temperature on account of surrounding conditions, driving conditions, etc.
H (HOUR)- Press and hold the “H” button until the correct hour appears.
M (MINUTE)- Press and hold the “M” button until the correct minute appears.
Features and controls
If the outside temperature drops below approximately 37 °F (3 °C), the outside temperature figure changes to “ICE” and the “ICE”, “OUTSIDE TEMP”, and unit indications flash for approximately 30 seconds to show there is a danger the road might be icy.
Change of the outside temperature unit
When the ignition key is in the “ACC” or “ON” position, pressing the “H” button and “M” button simultaneously for more than 10 seconds will switch the outside temperature unit between °F and °C.
NOTE ● Disconnecting the battery cable causes the outside tem-
perature unit memory to be erased. If it has been discon- nected, readjust the unit by the above procedure.
CAUTION! ● Even when the “ICE”, “OUTSIDE TEMP”, and
unit indications do not flash, the road may be icy, so please take care when driving.
