CAUTIONlNever  hold  the  vehicle  stationary  while  in
CVT  on  a  hill  with  the  accelerator,  always
apply  the  parking  brake  and/or  service
brake.Parking
E00602900039
To  park  the  vehicle,  first  bring  it  to  a  com-
plete  stop,  fully  engage  the  parking  brake,and  then  move  the  selector  lever  to  the  “P”
(PARK) position.
If  you  are  going  to  leave  the  vehicle  unatten-
ded,  always  switch  off  the  engine  and  carry the key.
NOTEl On  a  slope,  be  sure  to  apply  the  parking
brake before moving the selector lever to the
“P” (PARK) position. If you move the selec- tor  lever  to  the  “P”  (PARK)  position  before applying  the  parking  brake,  it  may  be  diffi-
cult  to  disengage  the  selector  lever  from  the
“P”  (PARK)  position  when  next  you  drive the  vehicle,  requiring  application  of  a  strong
force  to  the  selector  lever  to  move  from  the
“P” (PARK) position.When the CVT makes no speed
change
E00603100139
If  the  transmission  does  not  change  speeds
while  driving,  or  your  vehicle  does  not  pick up  enough  speed  when  starting  on  an  uphillslope,  it  may  be  that  there  is  something  un-
usual  happening  in  the  transmission,  causing a safety device to activate.
We  recommend  you  to  have  your  vehicle checked as soon as possible.
Electronically controlled
4WD system* E00604901405
The  electronically  controlled  4WD  system  isa  4-wheel  drive  system  that  allows  one  of
three  drive  modes  to  be  selected  with  a switch, in accordance with the driving condi-tions.
 
The following drive modes are available.
Drive modeFunction
2WD
This mode is for econom-
ical driving on normal dry
roads and motorway.
Driving in front-wheel
drive.Drive modeFunction
4WD AUTO
The default mode.
This mode is for automat-
ically controlling the dis-
tribution of driving torque
to all four wheels accord-
ing to the driving condi-
tions.
4WD LOCK
This mode is for driving
in slippery conditions
such as on snow-covered
roads or sand.
The large amount of driv-
ing torque that is applied
to the rear tyres enables
getting out of slippery
areas and powerful driv-
ing is possible across all
ranges.
4-wheel drive operation requires special driv- ing skills.
Carefully  read  the  “4-wheel  drive  operation”
on page 6-39 and take care to drive safely.

WARNINGlOn  vehicles  equipped  with 
A/T,  CVT,  al-
though  the  set  speed  driving  will  be  deac-
tivated  when  shifting  to  the  “N”  (NEU-
TRAL)  position,  never  move  the  selector lever  to  the  “N”  (NEUTRAL)  position
while driving.
You  would  have  no  engine  braking  and
could cause a serious accident.
Also,  the  set  speed  driving  may  be  deactiva-
ted as follows:
l When  the  engine  speed  rises  and  ap-
proaches  the  tachometer's  red  zone  (the red-coloured  part  of  the  tachometer  di- al).
CAUTIONl When  the  set  speed  driving  is  deactivated
automatically  in  any  situation  other  than those  listed  above,  there  may  be  a  systemmalfunction.
Press  the  CRUISE  CONTROL  ON/OFF switch to turn off the cruise control and have your  vehicle  inspected  by  a  MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.To resume the set speed
E00609800675
If  the  set  speed  driving  is  deactivated  by  the
condition  described  in  “To  deactivate”  on
page  6-56, you can resume the previously set
speed by push up the RES + switch (C) while
driving at a speed of about  40 km/h (25 mph)
or higher.
Under  either  of  the  following  conditions, however, using the switch does not allow you
to resume the previously set speed.
In  these  situations,  repeat  the  speed  setting procedure:
l The  CRUISE  CONTROL  ON/OFF
switch is pressed.
l [Except  vehicles  equipped  with  keyless
operation system]
Turn  the  ignition  switch  to  the  “LOCK”
or “ACC” position.
[Vehicles  equipped  with  keyless  opera- tion system]
Put the operation mode in OFF or ACC.
l “CRUISE”  indication  lamp  is  turned
OFF.Reversing sensor system*
E00615500345
This  system  operates  when  you  are  backingthe vehicle. It uses corner and back sensors to detect  an  obstacle  and  the  information  screen
in  the  multi-information  display  and  the  buz-
zer to inform you of the approximate distance to the obstacle.
CAUTIONl The  reversing  sensor  system  assists  you  in
determining  the  approximate  distance  be-
tween  the  vehicle  and  an  obstacle  located behind the vehicle. It has limitations in terms
of  detectable  areas  and  objects,  and  may  not
properly  detect  some  objects.  Therefore,  do not place excessive confidence in the revers-
ing  sensor  system  and  operate  the  vehicle  as carefully as you would do with a vehicle not equipped with this system.
