Returning to “D” range operation
When the gearshift lever is in the “D” (DRIVE) position, pull
the + (SHIFT UP) sportronic steering wheel shifter toward you
for 2 seconds or more to return to “D” range operation.
NOTE
If manual shifting is selected using the sportronic steering
wheel shifters when the gearshift lever is in the “D”
(DRIVE) position, the transmission will automatically
return to “D” range operation before the vehicle stops.

When the transmission returns to “D” range operation
from manual shifting, it may automatically shift up or
down from the gear selected using manual shifting
depending on the vehicle speed or driving conditions.

If manual shifting is selected using the sportronic steering
wheel shifters, “D” range operation will again be selected
by moving the gearshift lever from the “D” (DRIVE)
position toward the driver’s seat, then return it toward the
front passenger’s seat.

DRIVING DOWNHILL
When traveling down steep grades, the computer may automat-
ically select a lower shift position. This function assists engine
braking efforts, reducing the need for using the service brakes.
Waiting
N00541000020
For short waiting periods, such as at traffic lights, the vehicle
can be left in gearshift lever position and held stationary with
the service brake.
For longer waiting periods with the engine running, place the
gearshift lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position and apply the
parking brake, while holding the vehicle stationary with the
service brake.
Prior to moving off after having stopped the vehicle, make sure
that the gearshift lever is in “D” (DRIVE) position or manual
shift position.
CAUTION
!
Do not use the tendency of the vehicle to creep for-
ward in order to drive at low speeds up hills.
The transmission may be damaged and an accident
may occur due to the following conditions.
• The Twin Clutch SST fluid temperature will rise
and can cause transmission damage.
• If the vehicle is continuously driven at low speeds
using the tendency of the vehicle to creep forward,
the vehicle will vibrate or the warning display
will appear on the information screen in the multi-
information display to alert the driver that the
Twin Clutch SST fluid temperature has risen.
After that, if the Twin Clutch SST fluid tempera-
ture rises even higher, the transmission protection
control will operate.
If this occurs, the vehicle may suddenly reverse as
if the gearshift lever was in the “N” (NEUTRAL)
position and cause an accident.
If the warning display appears or the transmis-
sion protection control operates, refer to “When
warning display is showing” on page 3-112.
CAUTION
!
Do not rev the engine unnecessarily while the vehicle
is stationary. Unexpected acceleration may occur if
the gearshift lever is in a position other than “P”
(PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL).

The set speed driving is deactivated automatically in any of the
following ways.

When you depress the clutch pedal (on vehicles equipped
with manual transaxle).

When your speed slows to about 10 mph (15 km/h) or
more below the set speed because of a hill, etc.

When your speed slows to about 25 mph (40 km/h) or
less.

When the Twin Clutch SST control mode is set to “Sport”
mode (on vehicles equipped with Twin Clutch SST).
Refer to “Twin Clutch SST control mode” on page 3-116.

When the active stability control (ASC) starts operating.
Refer to “Active stability control (ASC)” on page 3-144.Also, the set speed driving may be deactivated as follow:

When the engine speed rises and approaches the tachome-
ter’s red zone (the red-colored part of the tachometer dial).
WA R N I N G
!
On vehicles equipped with continuously variable
transmission (CVT) or Twin Clutch SST, although
the set speed driving will be deactivated when shift-
ing to the “N” (NEUTRAL) position, never move the
selector lever (CVT) or the gearshift lever (Twin
Clutch SST) to the “N” (NEUTRAL) position while
driving.
You would have no engine braking and could cause
a serious accident.
CAUTION
!
When the set speed driving is deactivated automati-
cally in any situation other than those listed above,
there may be a system malfunction.
Press the “ON OFF” switch to turn off the cruise
control and have your vehicle inspected by an autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of
your choice.

Ta c h o m e t e r
N00519200247
The tachometer shows engine revolutions per minute. This
allows the driver to determine the most efficient shift position
(manual transaxle), selector position {continuously variable
transmission (CVT)} or shift position (Twin Clutch SST) and
engine speed combinations.
This gauge also assists in evaluating engine performance.

CAUTION
!
The red zone indicates an engine speed beyond the
range of safe operation.
Select the correct shift position (manual transaxle),
selector position (CVT) or gearshift position (Twin
Clutch SST) to control the engine speed so that the
tachometer indicator does not enter the red zone.

1. Stop your vehicle in a safe area, put the gearshift lever
(manual transaxle) in the “N” (Neutral) position, or the
selector lever {continuously variable transmission
(CVT)} or gearshift lever (Twin Clutch SST) in the “P”
(PARK) position, and then pull the parking brake lever.NOTE

out.” The system will then beep and the voice recognition
mode will be deactivated.
5. The voice guide will prompt for phrase 1. Repeat the cor-
responding phrase listed in table “Enrollment commands”
on page 3-269.
The system will register your voice and then move on to
the registration of the next command. Continue the pro-
cess until all phrases have been registered.NOTE
