If the CVT does not shift while driving, or your vehicle does not pick up enough speed when starting on an uphill slope, there may be something unusual happening in the transmis-sion, causing a safety device to activate. Have your vehicle checked at an authorized Mit- subishi Motors dealer or a repair facility ofyour choice as soon as possible. 1. If your vehicle has difficulty moving uphill, shift the selector lever into “L” (LOW) position (except for vehicles withsport mode) or 2nd shift range of the sports mode. This method might not work dependingon the type of transmission malfunction.
2. Once the vehicle is moving on a level road, move the selector lever back to “D” (DRIVE) position.
N00539700059
The Twin Clutch SST is a transmission that,through integrated control of the engine and transmission, is able to achieve both thesmooth shifting of an automatic transaxle and the acceleration and fuel economy close to a manual transaxle. In addition, the controlmode can be selected from two types to suit the driving conditions. Together with manual shifting, the transmis-sion is capable of responding to a variety of driving circumstances. Twin Clutch SST control mode

N00539800050
As an additional safe
ty precaution, models
equipped with a Twin Clutch SST have ashift-lock device that holds the gearshift lever in the “P” (PARK) position. To move the gearshift lever from the “P” (PARK) positionto another position, follow the steps below. 1. Press and hold the brake pedal down. 2. Move the gearshift lever to the desired position.
The Twin Clutch SST has 6 forward gears and 1 reverse gear. The individual gears are selected automati-cally, depending on the position of the gear- shift lever, the speed of the vehicle and the position of the accelerator pedal.The gearshift lever (A) has 2 gates; the main shift gate (B) and the manual shift gate (C).
NOTE
 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 strongforce to the selector le
ver to move from the
“P” (PARK) position.
