The dashboard of the 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander has an advanced instrument cluster that enhances the driving experience. With a programmable digital display and a stylish analog speedometer, this cluster gives drivers instant access to critical information. Although the digital display can be customized to show different data, such as navigation directions, trip information, safety alerts, and vehicle settings, the analog speedometer provides a conventional picture of the car’s speed. The instrument cluster of Mitsubishi’s newest SUV, the Outlander, guarantees that drivers can access vital information while keeping their eyes on the road thanks to easy-to-use steering wheel controls, improving the driving experience overall.

SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER
Speedometer
The speedometer indicates vehicle speed in miles per hour (MPH) and kilometers per hour (km/h).
2023 Mitsubishi Outlander Specs, Price, Features, Mileage (Brochure)
Secondary speedometer (models with type 2 meter)
The secondary speedometer indicates vehicle speed in kilometers per hour (km/h) and miles per hour (MPH).
Distance to empty (dte — km or mile)/Odometer Distance to empty (dte — km or mile):
The distance to empty (dte) provides you with an estimation of the distance that can be driven before refueling. The dte is constantly being calculated, based on the amount of fuel in the fuel tank and the actual fuel consumption. The display is updated every 30 seconds. The dte mode includes a low range warning feature. If the fuel level is low, the warning is displayed on the screen. When the fuel level drops even lower, the date display will change to “———”.
- If the amount of fuel added is small, the display just before the ignition switch is placed in the “OFF” position may continue to be displayed.
- When driving uphill or rounding curves, the fuel in the tank shifts, which may momen-tarily change the display.
Odometer:
The odometer is displayed in the multi-information display when the ignition switch is in the ON position. The odometer displays the total distance the vehicle has been driven.
TACHOMETER
The tachometer indicates engine speed in revolutions per minute (RPM). Do not rev the engine into the red zone .
CAUTION
When engine speed approaches the red zone, shift to a higher gear or reduce engine speed. Operating the engine in the red zone may cause serious engine damage.
ENGINE COOLANT TEM-PERATURE GAUGE
The engine coolant temperature gauge indicates the engine coolant temperature. The engine coolant temperature is normal when the gauge points within the zone shown in the illustration. The engine coolant temperature will vary with the outside air temperature and driving condi-tions.
CAUTION
- If the gauge indicates the engine coolant temperature is near the hot (H) end of the normal range, reduce vehicle speed to decrease the temperature.
- If the gauge is over the normal range, stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible and let the engine idle.
- If the engine is overheated, continued operation of the vehicle may seriously damage the engine. (See “If your vehicle overheats” (P.6-14) for immediate action required.)
FUEL GAUGE
The fuel gauge indicates the approximate fuel level in the tank when the ignition switch is in the ON position. The gauge may move slightly during braking, turning, accelerating, or going up and down hills due to 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). The arrow, indicates the location of the fuel filler door.
Refuel before the gauge reads the empty (0) position.
If fuel is added with the ignition switch is 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 malfunction indicator light (MIL) 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 an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer for this service.
- For additional information, see “Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)”.
INSTRUMENT BRIGHTNESS CONTROL
The instrument brightness control switch can be operated when the ignition 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.
CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (CVT) POSITION INDICATOR
The Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) position indicator indicates the shift lever position when the ignition switch is in the ON position.
