NOTE
If the vehicle is continuously driven on hilly roads or in an
aggressive manner involving high engine rpm, sudden
acceleration and/or deceleration, the vehicle transmission
may vibrate.
This vibration is to alert the driver that the Twin Clutch
SST fluid temperature has risen. It does not indicate a
malfunction.
If this occurs, perform the same measures for when the
warning appears. If the vibration stops, the vehicle can be
driven normally.If vehicle is driven with warning displayed
If the vehicle continues to be driven after the warning dis-
play appears, and the temperature of the Twin Clutch SST fluid
continues to rise, the transmission protection control may oper-
ate and cause the transmission to function as if the gearshift
lever was in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
(At this time, the vehicle temporarily cannot be driven.)
If this occurs, take the following measures.
1. Depress the brake pedal and stop the vehicle in a safe
place.
2. Place the gearshift lever in the “P” (PARK) position, and
then open the engine hood with the engine running to cool
the engine.
3. After a while, check that the warning display has gone
out, and then stop the engine if the warning display has
gone out.
4. If the engine can be restarted, the vehicle can be driven
normally.
If the warning display remains on or comes on frequently, have
the vehicle checked by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer
or a repair facility of your choice.
