6 General informationImportant points!Due to the large number of accessory and replacement parts of
different manufactures available in the market, it is not possi-
ble, not only for MITSUBISHI MOTORS, but also a MIT-
SUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point, to check
whether the attachment or installation of such parts affects the
driving safety of your MITSUBISHI-vehicle.
Even when such parts are officially authorized, for example by
a “general operators permit” (an appraisal for the part) or
through the execution of the part in an officially approved man-
ner of construction, or when a single operation permit follow-
ing the attachment or installation of such parts, it cannot be
deduced from that alone, that the driving safety of your vehi-
cles has not been affected.
Consider also that there basically exists no liability on the part
of the appraiser or the official. Only in the case of parts (MIT-
SUBISHI MOTORS original replacement or exchange parts as
well as MITSUBISHI MOTORS genuine accessories) that are
recommended and released by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorised Service Point and that are attached or installed by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point can you
assume, that optimal safety has been provided. The same also
pertains to modifications of MITSUBISHI vehicles with
respect to the production specifications. For your own safety, in
such cases as well, you should only undertake modifications
according to the recommendations of a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
Modification/alterations to the electrical or
fuel systems
E00200400238
MITSUBISHI MOTORS has always manufactured safe, high
quality vehicles. In order to maintain this safety and quality, it
is important that any accessory that is to be fitted, or any modi-
fications carried out which involve the electrical or fuel sys-
tems, should be carried out in accordance with MITSUBISHI
MOTORS guidelines.
CAUTION
!●If the wiring interferes with any part of the vehicle
body work or improper installation methods are
used, i.e. protective fuses not installed, etc., elec-
tronic devices may be adversely affected, possibly
resulting in an electrical fire or other failures that
may cause an accident.

Starting and driving
4-31

NOTE●In sports mode, only the 4 forward gears can be selected.
To reverse or park the vehicle, move the selector lever to
the “R” (REVERSE) or “P” (PARK) position as required.
●To maintain good running performance, the transmission
may refuse to perform an upshift when the selector lever
is moved to the “+ (SHIFT UP)” position at certain vehi-
cle speeds. Also, to prevent over-revving of the engine,
the transmission may refuse to perform a downshift when
the lever is moved to the “– (SHIFT DOWN)” position at
certain vehicle speeds.
●In sports mode, downward shifts are made automatically
when the vehicle slows down. When the vehicle stops,
1st gear is automatically selected.
●When driving away on a slippery road, push the selector
lever forward into the “+ (SHIFT UP)” position. This
causes the transmission to shift into the 2nd gear which is
better for smooth driving away on a slippery road. Push
the selector lever to the “– (SHIFT DOWN)” side to shift
back to the 1st gear.
●Move the selector lever gently between the manual and
main gates and between positions in the manual gate.
Undue force could damage the selector lever.
CAUTION
!●In sports mode, the upward shift from the 1st to 2nd
gear is made automatically while the upward shifts
to the 3rd and 4th gears are made by the driver. The
driver must execute upward shifts in accordance
with prevailing road conditions, taking care to keep
the engine speed below the red zone.●By rapidly moving the selector lever backwards
(SHIFT DOWN) twice, it is possible to skip one gear,
i.e., 3rd to 1st or 4th to 2nd. Since sudden engine
braking and/or rapid acceleration can cause loss of
traction, however, downshifts must be made care-
fully in accordance with the vehicle’s speed.

Fuel, engine coolant, oil and exhaust gas leakageLook under the body of your vehicle to check for fuel, engine
coolant, oil and exhaust gas leaks.Exterior and interior lamp operationOperate the combination lamp switch to check that all lamps
are functioning properly.
If the lamps do not illuminate, the probable cause is a blown
fuse or defective lamp bulb. Check the fuses first. If there is no
blown fuse, check the lamp bulbs.
For information regarding the inspection and replacement of
the fuses and the lamp bulbs, refer to “Fuses” on page 8-33 and
“Replacement of lamp bulbs” on page 8-43.
If the fuses and bulbs are all OK, we recommend you to have
your vehicle checked and repaired.
WARNING
!●If you see a suspicious fuel leak or if you smell fuel,
do not operate the vehicle; we recommend you to
call for assistance.

attempts to flow through certain electrical systems.
In case of a melted fuse link, we recommend you to have your
vehicle inspected.
