Running lights off while parking break on

[awalters]

Hi all,

I have a 2023 model in Australia and am trying to figure out how to put the car in ready mode to use the rear inverter without turning the driving lights on. I realized I blinded the tent site across from me not too long ago while boiling water for an early morning cup of coffee. The manual says that as long as the parking break is on, the driving lights should not turn on.

I took it to the dealership recently who agreed the car is not working like the manual states. They have started a conversation with Mitsubishi Australia who are investigating but think it is an error in the manual.

This all seems weird, so I thought I'd check here -- Does anyone have a 2023 model (especially Australian) who can have the lights off with the car on?

yes, can press the ‘on’ without ‘foot on brake’ and there are no running lights. The car is not drivable without pressing the ‘on’ again with ‘foot on brake’.

This puts the car in ACC mode. The inverter will not turn on in ACC mode which is what I'm trying to do.

the way i do it, is to:

put the car in Park
turn off Lights (Off, not Auto)
turn on Parking Brake
turn off Car
turn on Car.

it works for me, and I run my inverter all the time without the headlights on
