ClubCJ - The CJ Lancer Club

For some strange reason my car has started popping up a service required message. I've only done about 10,500km and i had the 7,500km service for my RA just a month or two ago.

I thought the next service was at 15,000km.

Does anyone know how to reset or get the message to stop popping up until the right time? Has this happened to anyone else? I mean it's not a big deal but its slightly annoying for it to pop up all the time when nothing is wrong

Yeah I know how

Maybe that is it. which is kind of strange since the RA has oil change every 7,500km which i did do...

turbo engines require oil changes more frequently then NA engines

yep. thats true but not 2,500km after the last service though.. thats just a bit too frequent.

Usually I change mine every 5000 kms. I dont go by their 7500kms recommendation.

To reset back to previous maintenance schedule
Turn off ignition completely
Ensure drivers door is closed completely
Press the "Info" button on the instrument panel
Go to the Maintenance option and hold "Info" down to access it
Repeatedly press "Info" to get the word "Clear" to display on the instrument panel
Hold down the "Info" button to clear the maintenance timer
All done!

people at Mitsubishi probably set it wrong for maintenance

Taken from evom forum:

Some useful info fromthe service manual - here is how to reset your Service Reminder, Change the Maintenance Schedule (factory default is 6 months/7,500 miles but those of us requiring the "Severe Maintenance" schedule can change it as outlined below), or inactivate it altogether:

brilliant! Just what i needed thanks

Anyone know the correct settinfg for ralliart. The dealer has set 15k km as if its a non ra lancer. Thanks

Google and manuals say nothing about which setting is correct. E.g. nas11 or aus...

I guess will have to go with one of the 6mnth interval options -



JPN10 - 12000 KM / 12 MONTH
JPN11 - 12000 KM / 6 MONTH
JPN20 - 12000 KM / 6 MONTH
JPN30 - 12000 KM / 12 MONTH
JPN31 - 12000 KM / 6 MONTH
JPN40 - 12000 KM / 3 MONTH

NAS10 - 12000 KM / 6 MONTH
NAS11 - 12000 KM / 3 MONTH
NAS20 - 12000 KM / 6 MONTH
NAS21 - 12000 KM / 4 MONTH

EU10 - 12000 KM / 12 MONTH
EU11 - 12000 KM / 12 MONTH

AUS - 12000 KM / 12 MONTH

GCC - 12000 KM / 6 MONTH

Ralliart is 6 month or 5000km intervals. Take it into your dealer otherwise try NAS10
