NOTElFor diesel-powered vehicles, if the tempera-
ture inside the engine compartment is high,
the cooling fans (A) will continue to operate for some time even if the engine is stopped.
Therefore, the operation sound of the cool-
ing fans may be heard even after the engine is stopped. This sound is normal and does
not indicate a malfunction.
After operating for a period of time, the cooling fans will stop automatically.
*: Front of the vehicle
Using the MIVEC engine*
The MIVEC engine automatically switches
its intake-valve control between a low-speed mode and a high-speed mode in accordancewith driving conditions for maximum engine
performance.
NOTEl To protect the engine, the high-speed mode
may not be selected while the engine coolanttemperature is low.Fuel injection amount learning
process (diesel-powered vehi- cles)
E00627900043
To keep exhaust emissions and engine noise low, the engine very occasionally performs a
learning process for the fuel injection
amount.
The engine sounds slightly different from
usual while the learning process is taking place. The change in the engine sound does
not indicate a fault.
Diesel particulate filter
(DPF)* E00619800245
The diesel particulate filter (DPF) is a devicethat captures most of the particulate matter
(PM) in the exhaust emissions of the diesel engine. The DPF automatically burns away trapped PM during vehicle operation. Under
certain driving conditions, however, the DPF is not able to burn away all of the trapped PM
and, as a result, an excessive amount of PM accumulates inside it.
WARNINGl The DPF reaches very high temperatures.
Do not park your vehicle in areas where
combustible materials such as dry grass
or leaves can come in contact with a hot exhaust system since a fire could occur.CAUTIONl Do not use any type of fuel or engine oil that
is not specified for your vehicle. Also, do not use any moisture-removing agent or oth-
er fuel additive. Such substances could have a detrimental effect on the DPF.
Refer to “Fuel selection” on page 2-02 and
“Engine oil” on page 10-04.NOTEl To minimize the likelihood of excessive ac-
cumulation of PM, try to avoid driving for long periods at low speeds and repeatedly
driving short distances.
l The engine sounds slightly different from
usual while the DPF automatically burns
away trapped PM. The change in the engine
sound does not indicate a fault.

Automatic transmission will automatically
change its gear depending on road and driv- ing conditions. This helps achieve smooth
driving and excellent fuel efficiency.
Also you can manually shift up and shift down the transaxle. Refer to “Sports mode”
on page 6-28.NOTEl During running-in period or immediately af-
ter reconnection of the battery cable, there may be a case where gear shifts are not
made smoothly. This does not indicate a faulty transmission.
Gear shifts will become smooth after the transmission has been shifted several times
by the electronic control system.Selector lever operation
E00603301200
The transmission has 6 forward gears and 1
reverse gear.
The individual gears are selected automati-cally, depending on the speed of the vehicle
and the position of the accelerator pedal.
The selector lever (A) has 2 gates; the main gate (B) and the manual gate (C).While depressing the brake pedal,
move the selector lever through the gate.Move the selector lever through the
gate.WARNINGl Always depress the brake pedal when
shifting the selector lever into a gear from the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL) po-sition.
Never put your foot on the accelerator
pedal while shifting the selector lever
from the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEU- TRAL) position.NOTEl To avoid erroneous operation, move the se-
lector lever firmly into each position and
briefly hold it there. Always check the posi- tion shown by the selector lever position dis-
play after moving the selector lever.
l If the brake pedal is not depressed and held,
the shift-lock device activates to prevent the selector lever from being moved from the “P” (PARK) position.

“P” PARK
This position locks the transmission to pre- vent the vehicle from moving. The engine
can be started in this position.
“R” REVERSE
This position is to back up.
CAUTIONl Never shift into the “P” (PARK) or “R”
(REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in motion to avoid transmission damage.
“N” NEUTRAL
At this position the transmission is disengag-
ed. It is the same as the neutral position on a
manual transmission, and should only be used when the vehicle is stationary for an ex-
tended length of time during driving, such as
in a traffic jam.
WARNINGl Never move the selector lever to the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position while driving. A se-rious accident could occur since you could
accidentally move the lever into the “P”
(PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position or you will lose engine braking.
l On a gradient the engine should be star-
ted in the “P” (PARK) position, not in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
l To prevent rolling, always keep your foot
on the brake pedal when the vehicle is in “N” (NEUTRAL) position, or when shift-
ing into or out of “N” (NEUTRAL) posi- tion.
“D” DRIVE
This position is used for most city and high-
way driving. The transmission will automati-
cally change its gear depending on road and driving conditions.
CAUTIONl To prevent transmission damage, never shift
into the “D” (DRIVE) position from the “R”
(REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in motion.

Sports mode
E00603901381
Whether the vehicle is stationary or in mo-
tion, sports mode is selected by gently push-ing the selector lever from the “D” (DRIVE)
position into the manual gate (A). To return to “D” range operation, gently push the selec-tor lever back into the main gate (B).

In sports mode, gear shifts can be made rap-
idly simply by moving the selector lever backward and forward. Shift paddles at the steering wheel can also be used to perform gearshifts. In contrast to a manual transmis-
sion, the sports mode allows gear shifts with
the accelerator pedal depressed.
NOTEl You can shift into sports mode with shift
paddles when the selector lever is in the main gate as well. Also, you can return to
the “D” range operation in any of following ways.
When returning to “D” range operation, the selector lever position display will change to
“D” (DRIVE) position.
• Pull the “+ (SHIFT UP)” side shift paddle
forward (towards the driver) for over 2 seconds.
• Stop the vehicle.NOTE•Push the selector lever from the “D”

CAUTIONl In sports mode, the driver must execute up-
ward shifts in accordance with prevailingroad conditions, taking care to keep the en-
gine speed below the red zone.
l Repeated continuous operation of the selec-
tor lever or the shift paddles will continuous- ly switch shift position.CAUTIONl Do not use the left- and right-hand shift pad-
dles at the same time. Doing so could cause
a shift of gear ratio that you do not expect.NOTEl The upward shift may be made automatical-
ly in sports mode when the engine revolu-
tions rises and approaches the tachometer’s
red zone (the red-coloured part of the tach- ometer dial).
l In sports mode, only the
6 forward gears can
be selected. To reverse or park the vehicle, move the selector lever to the “R” (RE-
VERSE) or “P” (PARK) position as re- quired.
l To maintain good running performance, the
transmission may refuse to perform an up- shift when the selector lever is moved to the“+ (SHIFT UP)” position at certain vehicle
speeds. Also, to prevent over-revving of the engine, the transmission may refuse to per-
form a downshift when the lever is moved to
the “- (SHIFT DOWN)” position at certain vehicle speeds. When this happens, a buzzer
sounds to indicate that a downshift is not go-
ing to take place.
l In sports mode, downward shifts are made
automatically when the vehicle slows down.
When the vehicle stops, 1 st
gear is automati-
cally selected.

Vehicles with a towing bar
The detection areas are within approximately60 cm (A) from the corner sensors, 150 cm
(B) from the back sensors, and 60 cm (C) or less from the ground surface, excluding the
area approximately 10 cm (D) from the
ground surface. The non-detection areas (E) are within approximately 20 cm (F) from thebumper.
NOTEl If the rear bumper has been exposed to an
impact, the corner or back sensors may failand prevent the system from functioning
properly. Have the vehicle inspected at a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.NOTEl The sensors do not detect objects located in
the area directly below or near the bumper. If the height of an object is lower than the
mounted position of the corner or back sen-
sors, the sensors may not continue detecting it even if they detected it initially.
For information on how to change the detec-
tion areas, please refer to “Changing the de- tection areas” on page 6-61.
CAUTIONl The reversing sensor system may not operate
properly under the following conditions:
• The sensors or surroundings are covered
with ice, snow, or mud.
• The sensors are frozen.
• The system receives ultrasonic noise from
other sources (the horns of other vehicles, motorcycle engines, brakes, radios, pour-
ing rain, splashing water, tyre chains, etc.).
• The sensors are extremely hot or cold
(while the vehicle is parked for a long pe- riod of time under a blazing sun or in coldweather).
• The vehicle tilts significantly.
• The vehicle is driven on a rough road
(with a bumpy, gravel, hilly, or grassy surface).
• The vehicle is too close to an obstacle.CAUTION•The sensors or surroundings have been
wiped by hand, or stickers or accessorieshave been attached.
l The reversing sensor system may not proper-
ly detect the following:
• Objects that are thin, such as wire nets or
ropes.
• Objects that absorb sound waves, such as
snow.
• Objects that are shaped with a sharp an-
gle.
• Objects with a smooth surface, such as
glass.
• Objects that are low, such as kerbstones.NOTEl The buzzer may sound lower than the nor-
mal warning sound when the reversing sen-sor system is receiving ultrasonic noise from
other sources, but this is not a malfunction.
The buzzer will stop sounding and the sys- tem will return to normal operation after thenoise is no longer received.

NOTElWhen the sensors detect different obstacles
at the same time, the information screen in the multi-information display indicates the directions of the obstacles each sensor is de-
tecting. However, closer obstacles are given priority over other detected obstacles and the
warning buzzer sounds to inform you of
closer obstacles.Changing the detection areas
E00615800159
The detection areas can be changed as fol-
lows:
Vehicles with a towing bar
While the operation of the system is stopped
at the “SONAR” switch, push the “SONAR”
switch approximately 3 seconds or more, and release it. The buzzer sounds twice to indi-
cate that the detection area has been changed.
Vehicles without a towing bar
While the operation of the system is stopped at the “SONAR” switch, push the “SONAR”
switch approximately 3 seconds or more, and
release it. The buzzer sounds once to indicate that the detection area has been changed.
NOTEl The detection area will not change if you
keep the “SONAR” switch pushed for
10 seconds or more.
l After pushing the “SONAR” switch, revers-
ing sensor system operation differs accord- ing to the detection area setting.
• Setting when towing bar is not equipped
When the gearshift lever or selector lever
is moved to the “R” position, the revers-
ing sensor system will operate even if cor- ner sensor operation was stopped by push-
ing the “SONAR” switch.
• Setting when towing bar is equipped
When reversing sensor system operation was stopped by pushing the “SONAR”
switch, the reversing sensor system will not operate until the engine has been stop- ped even if the gearshift lever or selector
lever is moved to the “R” position.
To resume reversing sensor system opera- tion, push the “SONAR” switch or stop and restart the engine, and then move the
gearshift lever or selector lever to the “R” position.Reversing sensor system warn-
