Periodic maintenance reminder
No this isn't the typical "how do i reset my maintenance reminder" thread.
I've had this car for a 4 years and have reset the reminder many times without any problems. It is currently at the point where it needs to be reset but it wont reset like I've done many many times. When I recently tried, instead of getting the "clear" message, it read "NAS 11". Google searches turned up nothing.
I scanned for codes and there are no codes. The only thing on my dash that is lit up is the TPMS light since I don't have TPMS in my winter wheels.
Anybody have any clue about this?

this is all i found on it but it doesn't tell me anything
Guys/Gals,
This is posted over on MitsubishiForum where I am a member.
It applies to the Outlander(which I currently own), but I think it
might work for the Lancer as well.
Give it a try. Good Luck !!!

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:
HOW TO CANCEL THE SERVICE REMINDER WARNING

2. By operating the meter information switch, the warning period is displayed on the multi information display.
3. Press the meter information switch once for 1.2 seconds or longer.
4. The service reminder indicator flashes.
5. While the service reminder indicator flashes, press the meter information switch once for less than 1.2 seconds.
6. The service reminder indicator is turned ON, and "CLEAR" is displayed on the multi-information display for 3 seconds.
7. After "CLEAR" is displayed for 3 seconds, the warning period to the next time is displayed.

^^ Try the directions under "how to set the schedule"..
Set your schedule to anything other than what it's on now (ie, go to NAS 21 if you're on NAS 20), then go back and start over, this time selecting the correct schedule you want (probably NAS 20 or NAS 11).
Doing this performs a reset of the service reminder that is slightly different than the regular "cancel reminder" reset.
Not sure if it will fix your problem, but it's something easy enough to try.
Good luck, and if it helps any, just follow the steps listed in bold here..
