2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Instrument Cluster Guidelines

In the 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, there is a new and advanced instrument cluster that blends cutting-edge technology with an easy-to-use layout. The instrument panel is the most important part of the driver’s interface because it shows all the important information about the car in a way that is easy to understand. The cluster has a high-resolution digital screen with bright, customizable images that let drivers make the screen look the way they want it to. The standards stress clarity and ease of access, making sure that important information like speed, battery life, and driving mode can be seen at a glance. Also, the addition of advanced connectivity features makes it possible to work with navigation, entertainment, and vehicle settings without any problems. The 2023 Outlander PHEV’s instrument cluster shows Mitsubishi’s dedication to a forward-thinking and user-centered design. It gives drivers a modern and interesting driving experience while also improving safety and ease.

Warning/indicator lights

CAUTION

• For cleaning, use a soft cloth, dampened with water. Never use a rough cloth, alcohol, benzine, thinner, or any kind of solvent or paper towel with a chemical cleaning agent. They will scratch or cause discolouration to the lens.
• Do not spray any liquid such as water on the meter lens. Spraying liquid may cause the system to malfunction.

CHANGING THE METER SCREEN VIEW
The meter screen view can be changed to expand the multi-information display area. To change the meter screen view:

1.  Push the control switch on the left side of the steering wheel.
2. Short Cut Menu” appears on the multi-information display area.
3. Select “Change Meter View” by rotating the scroll dial and pushing the scroll dial to confirm.

SPEEDOMETER
The speedometer indicates vehicle speed in miles per hour (MPH) and/or kilometers per hour (km/h).

EV CRUISING RANGE DIS-PLAY/TOTAL CRUISING RANGE DISPLAY

EV cruising range display
This displays the distance that can be traveled with the remaining power in the drive battery.

Total cruising range display
This displays the distance that can be traveled with the remaining power in the drive battery and the remaining amount of fuel.

NOTE:

• The EV cruising range may vary depending on driving conditions and your driving habits. The EV cruising range is calculated from the following information.
  • Current remaining power in the drive battery.
  • The most recent electric power consumption rate.
  • The operation status of the air- tioner. If the preceding driving condition is in the following situations, the EV cruising range display may show less distance than before even though there is almost the same level of remaining power in the drive battery.
  • When much electricity is consumed from the drive battery, such as in a traffic jam, hill-climbing, or high-speed driving.
  • When the air conditioner is operating.

Treat the distance displayed as just a rough guideline. In addition, disconnecting the auxiliary battery cable will reset the EV cruising range and the EV cruising range display may show a different distance from the previous distance.

• When the drive battery is charged or the vehicle is refuelled, the cruising range display is updated. However, if the charge level is low or the refuelling amount is small, it cannot be updated correctly. Fully charge the battery or refill to full tank whenever possible.
• On rare occasions, the value displayed for the driving range may change if you are parked on an extremely steep incline. This is due to the movement of fuel in the tank and does not indicate any malfunction.
• When the EV cruising range falls below approximately 1 mile (approximately 1 km), the EV cruising range display shows “0”.
• When the total cruising range falls below approximately 20 miles (approximately 30 km), the total cruising range display shows “—”.

ENERGY USAGE INDICATOR

EV zone
The EV zone shows the output during EV drive (driving with the engine stopped).
The EV zone is a zone that and in the illustration are combined.
The zone shows the state that the EV drive can be maintained and the zone shows the state that the engine starts in high possibility. As the motor output increases, the movement range of the needle of the energy usage indicator increases. In addition, the needle of the energy usage indicator indicates the horizontal position when the engine is stopped or there is no electric energy from the motor output and the regenerative brake.
While the engine is running, the EV zone indicates the output from the electric motor.

NOTE:

• Depending on the state of the vehicle (such as during heating of the air conditioner, continuous high load operation, or deceleration when the drive battery is almost fully charged), the engine may start regardless of the position of the needle of the energy usage indicator.
• Even when the EV priority mode is selected and the engine does not start, the needle of the energy usage indicator may indicate the zone (a zone that the engine starts in high possibility).
• Depending on the vehicle condition, the movement of the needle of the energy usage indicator may be different or fluctuate.
• Economical driving can be done by operating in a state where the swing of the needle is small within the zone.

Charge zone
Indicates the charging power generated by the regenerative brake.
The more the needle moves, the more electric energy is charged.
The needle of the energy usage indicator may not enter the charge zone when the drive battery is close to full charge.

Engine output zone
Indicates the engine output.

ENERGY LEVEL GAUGE
The energy level gauge shows the current charge level of the drive battery.

NOTE:
The energy level gauge may vary depending on the temperature of the drive battery.

FUEL GAUGE
The fuel gauge indicates the approximate fuel level in the tank when the power switch is in the ON position.
The gauge may move slightly during braking, turning, accelerating, or going up and down hills due to the movement of fuel in the tank.
It may take several seconds to stabilize the display after refilling the tank.
The low fuel warning appears on the multi-information display when the fuel level in the tank is getting low. Refuel as soon as it is convenient, preferably before the gauge reads 0 (empty).

Refuel before the gauge reads the empty (0) position.
If fuel is added with the power switch in the ON position, or the amount of the refueled fuel is small, the remaining fuel display may incorrectly indicate the fuel level.
There is a small reserve of fuel in the tank when the fuel gauge reads the empty (0) position.

CAUTION

• If the vehicle runs out of fuel, the check engine warning light may come on. Refuel as soon as possible. After a few driving trips, the light should turn off. If the light remains on after a few driving trips, have the vehicle inspected? It is recommended you visit a certified Mitsubishi EV dealer for this service.
• For additional information, see “Check engine warning light

INSTRUMENT BRIGHTNESS CONTROL
The instrument brightness control switch can be operated when the power switch is in the ON position.
Push the + side of the switch to brighten the meter and instrument panel lights.
Push the — side of the switch to dim the lights.

SHIFT LEVER POSITION INDICATOR
The shift lever position indicator indicates the shift lever position when the power switch is in the ON position.

EV MODE INDICATOR
The EV mode indicator shows the selected EV mode when the power switch is ON. To select the EV mode, push the EV mode switch. (See “EV mode selector switch

ODOMETER
The odometer indicates the total distance the vehicle has been driven.
