Correcting the compass E00519400178
This compass shows the direction of the vehicle by
the 8 azimuth

system.NOTE
l This

system uses the earth’s magnetic field,
and so may not show the correct direction de-
pending on the traffic condition or in the fol-
lowing places where the earth’s magnetic
field is disrupted. • Car parks located in buildings and tunnels
• Expressways and underground cables
• Area over the subway
• Transforming station
• Areas along the railroad
In these cases, the correct direction will be
displayed once the vehicle returns to a place
where the earth’s magnetic field is stable. l
Do
not install ski racks, antennas, etc. which
are attached to the vehicle by means of a mag-
net. They affect the operation of the compass.
Setting the declination
The declination is the difference between true
north (the direction of the geographic north pole)
and where a compass needle points to. Since the dec-
lination varies from place to place, it needs to be
set for each region. Otherwise the compass will not
show the correct direction.
Set the declination by the following steps: NOTE
l The

default declination setting is 0 degrees.
In accordance with the illustration, set the dec-
lination setting to the declination contour near-
est to a region where you drive the vehicle.
l The declination can be set at intervals of
1 degrees, from 28 degrees west (W28) to
28 degrees east (E28).
With a settings display showing, press the “ADJ”
button and select “COMPASS VARIANCE”. 1. Press the function button for “SELECT”.
2. Press
the function button for “←” or “→” to
set the desired declination.

Pressing “←” or “→” for more than 1 sec-
ond makes the value change rapidly. Instruments and controls

l
You do not have to continuously drive ex-
actly as indicated above. Always strive to
drive safely in accordance with road con-
ditions.
If the DPF warning lamp flashes dur-
ing vehicle operation
Flashing
of the DPF warning lamp indicates an ab-
normality in the DPF system. Have the system in-
spected at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point. CAUTION
l
Continuing
to drive with the DPF warn-
ing lamp flashing could result in engine
trouble and DPF damage. Manual transmission

The

shift pattern is shown on the gearshift lever
knob. Be sure to always fully depress the clutch ped-
al before attempting to shift the lever. CAUTION
l
Do
not move the gearshift lever into re-
verse while the vehicle is moving for-
ward; doing so will damage the transmis-
sion.
l Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal
while driving as this will cause premature
clutch wear or damage. CAUTION
l
If
the clutch is engaged suddenly while
the engine revolution is high, an extreme-
ly large load will be applied instantaneous-
ly to the power train, possibly leading to
the breakage of that component. Please en-
sure, therefore, that the clutch pedal is al-
ways applied in a slow yet firm manner.
Your vehicle has a special feature to pro-
tect the power train from damage; the en-
gine is controlled in such a way that exces-
sive increase in engine revolution is pre-
vented in situations where the accelerator
pedal is depressed while the gearshift lev-
er is in the 1 st
position and the clutch ped-
al has been depressed.
NOTE l If

it is hard to shift into 1 st
, depress the
clutch pedal again; the shift will then be eas-
ier to make.
l To shift into reverse from 5 th
gear, move the
gearshift lever to the “N” (Neutral) position,
and then shift it into reverse.
Changing gears E00610600136
Always take care to change the gear with the vehi-
cle

speed matched to the engine speed. Proper shift-
ing will prolong engine life.
Avoid shifting down at high speed, as this may
cause excessive engine speed (the tachometer nee-
dle into the red zone) and damage the engine. Starting and driving

Cruise control*
E00609100779
Cruise
control is an automatic speed control system
that keeps a set speed. It can be activated at about
40 km/h (25 mph) or more. CAUTION
l
When
you do not wish to drive at a set
speed, turn off the cruise control for safety.
l Do not use cruise control when driving
conditions will not allow you to stay at
the same speed, such as in heavy traffic
or on roads that are winding, icy, snow-
covered, wet, slippery, on a steep down-
hill slope.
l On vehicles with manual transmission, do
not move the gearshift lever to the “N”
(Neutral) position while driving at a set
speed without depressing the clutch ped-
al. The engine will run too fast and might
be damaged.
NOTE l Cruise

control may not be able to keep your
speed on uphills or downhills.
l Your speed may decrease on a steep uphill.
You may use the accelerator pedal if you
want to stay at your set speed.
l Your speed may increase to more than the
set speed on a steep downhill. You must use
the brake to control your speed. As a result,
the set speed driving is deactivated. Cruise control switches
