Exclamation 2018 Mitsubushi Outlander Sport - Trouble with multi-display.

I love my car, don't get me wrong...but you would think they could have installed a more functional display. It took me over an hour to figure out what was going on with this thing and I still have questions. YES I am a tech minded fella and yes I had the manual in my hand while messing with it.

I wanted to change my blinker sound because I could not hear the default one, then I also wanted to adjust fuel consumption read out so it would not reset every day. I got that done, but in the process I noticed I still had to reset the maintenance window. Which I did, but it no longer reads 5000 at 5 months but 19700 at 13 months. I reset it and it said 11300 at X months and I thought I did it wrong so I did it again and now it is just stuck at the 19700 @ 13. I thought this was for oil/general maintenance windows but there seems to be no modifying it. I have 25000 miles on my vehicle...tell me how does 19700 @ 13 factor into my schedule? I know it will alert me when I get there, I just feel like we should be able to either disable that aspect of it or modify it to suit our needs...like a reminder for oil changes and service.

Thoughts?

I got it thanks to this forum and another posters "everything you need to know about the service warning multi function". 7 or 8 steps and about 3 minutes...it is now off. yay.

To avoid the average fuel consumption to reset requires ETACS programming. Unless Mitsubishi changed the ETACS coding from 2018 up I suspect it will revert to "automatic" mode after 4 hours of parking and starts the averaging after the restart.
