N00514900063
To gain extra acceleration in “D” (DRIVE) position (when passing another vehicle) push the accelerator to the floor
if it is safe to do so
in traffic conditions. The CVT will automati-cally downshift.
N00515000074
For short waiting periods, such as at traffic lights, the vehicle can be left in selector lever position and held stationary with the servicebrake.
For longer waiting periods with the engine running, the selector lever should be placed in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
N00515100062
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 unat-tended, always switch
off the engine and
carry the key.
Operation of the CVT

CAUTION Before selecting a position with the engine running and the vehicle stationary, fully depress the brake pedal to prevent the vehi- cle from creeping.Do not release the brakes until you are ready to drive away. The vehicle will begin to move as soon as the CVT is engaged, espe-cially when the engine speed is high (fast idle or air conditioning on). Depress the brake pedal with the right foot. Using the left foot could cause driver move- ment delay in case of an emergency. To prevent sudden acceleration, never run the engine at high rpms when shifting fromthe “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL) posi- tion. Operating the accelerator pedal while the other foot is resting on the brake pedal will affect braking efficiency and may cause pre-mature wear of brake pads. Use the selector lever in the correct shift position in accordance with driving condi- tions. Never coast downhill backward in the driv- ing shift position { “D” (DRIVE), “L” (LOW) or sports mode} or coast forward inthe “R” (REVERSE) position. Engine stopping and increased brake pedal and steering effort could lead to an accident.
 Do not rev the engine with the brake pedal pressed when the vehicle is stationary. This can damage the CVT. Also, when you depress the accelerator pedal while holding down the brake pedal with theselector lever in the “D” (DRIVE) position, the engine revolutions may not rise as high as when performing the same operation withthe selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
Passing acceleration

NOTE
 In sports mode, downshifts do not take place when the accelerator is depressed all the way to the floor.
Waiting

CAUTION
CAUTION To avoid transmission overheating, never try to keep your vehicle stationary on a hill by using the accelerator pedal. Always apply the parking brake and/or service brake. Unexpected acceleration may occur if the selector lever is in a position other than “P”(PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL). Before driving off from a stop, make sure that the selector lever is in “D” (DRIVE)position or “Sports mode” position.

Twin Clutch SST (Sportronic Shif
t Transmission) (if so equipped)
5-80 Features and controls
5
N00540900019
To gain extra acceleration in “D” (DRIVE) position (when passing another vehicle) pushthe accelerator to the floor if it is safe to do so in traffic conditions. The Twin Clutch SST will automatically downshift.
N00541600026
The Twin Clutch SST may not upshift to a higher shift position if the computer deter- mines the current speed cannot be maintainedonce a higher shift position is engaged. For smoother vehicle performance, if you release the throttle while climbing a steepgrade, the Twin Clutch SST may not upshift.This is normal, as the computer is temporarily preventing shifting. After reaching the top of the hill, normal shift function will resume.
When traveling down steep grades, the com- puter may automatically select a lower shift position. This function assists engine brakingefforts, reducing the need for using the ser- vice brakes.
N00541000020
For short waiting periods, such as at trafficlights, the vehicle can be left in gearshift
 Do not rev the engine with the brake pedal pressed when the vehicle is stationary. This can cause sudden acceleration and dam- age the Twin Clutch SST. Also, when you depress the accelerator pedalwhile holding down the brake pedal with the gearshift lever in the “D” (DRIVE) position, the engine revolutions may not rise as highas when performing the same operation with the gearshift lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
Passing acceleration

NOTE
 In manual shift, downshifts do not take place when the accelerator is depressed all the way to the floor.CAUTION
Uphill/downhill driving

DRIVING UPHILL
CAUTION Do not use the tendency of the vehicle to creep forward in order to drive at low speeds up hills.The transmission may be damaged and an accident may occur due to the following con- ditions.• The Twin Clutch SST fluid temperaturewill rise and can cause transmission dam-age.
• 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 temperature rises even higher, the transmis- sion 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 transmission protection control operates, refer to “When warning display is showing” on page 5-73.

N00559100091
The active stability control (ASC) takes over-all control of the anti-lock braking system,traction control function and skid control function to help maintain the vehicle’s control and traction. Please read this section in con-junction with the page on the anti-lock brak- ing system, traction control function and skid control function.
WA R N I N G Do not stop the engine while the vehicle is moving. Stopping the engine would make the steering wheel extremely hard to turn, possibly resulting in an accident.
Hydraulic power steering sys- tem (HPS)
(if so equipped)
CAUTION Do not leave the steering wheel turned all the way in one direction. This can cause damage to the power steering system.
Electric power steering system (EPS)
(if so equipped)NOTE
 During repeated full-lock turning of the steering wheel (for example, while you are manoeuvring the vehicle into a parkingspace), a protection function may be acti- vated to prevent overheating of the power steering system. This function will make thesteering wheel gradually harder to turn. In this event, limit your tu
rning of the steering
wheel for a while. When the system hascooled down, the steering effort will return to normal.  If you turn the steering wheel while the vehi- cle is stationary with the headlights on, the headlights may become dim. This behavioris not abnormal. The headlights will return to their original brightness after a short while.
Electronic power steering system warning display

CAUTION If the warning display appears while the engine is running, have the vehicle inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer ora repair facility of your choice as soon as possible. It may become harder to turn the steering wheel.

When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, this indicator normally comeson and goes out a few seconds later. A warn- ing is also displayed in the multi-information display.The warning light also illuminates after start-ing the engine under the following condi- tions:  When the parking brake is still applied.  When the brake fluid level is low.  When the brake system circuit is not working properly.
Before driving, be sure that the parking brake is fully released and brake warning light isoff.
N00520500790
This indicator is a part of the onboard diag- nostic (OBD) system which monitors the emissions, engine contro
l system or continu-
ously variable transmission (CVT) control system/Twin Clutch SST control system. If a problem is detected in one of these systems,this indicator illuminates or flashes. When theignition switch is turned to the “ON” posi- tion, this indicator normally comes on and goes off after the engine has started. This indicator will come on if the fuel tank filler cap is not properly tightened. If this indicator comes on and stays on after refuel- ing, stop the engine and check that the cap isproperly tightened. (Turn the cap clockwise until you hear clicking sounds.) If this indicator does not go off after severalseconds or lights up while driving, have the system checked as soon as possible at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or arepair facility of your choice.
Warning lights Brake warning light
CAUTION If the brake warning light and the anti-lock braking system warning light are illuminated at the same time, the braking force distribu-tion function will not operate, so the vehicle may be destabilized during sudden braking under the following conditions.
• When the brake warning light does not go out even when the parking brake is released.• When the brake warning light stays onwhile driving.• If the above occurs, avoid sudden brakingand high-speed driving. Park the vehicle in a safe place, and contact an authorized Mit- subishi Motors dealer or a repair facility ofyour choice as soon as possible.
 The vehicle should be brought to a halt in the following manner when brake performance is deteriorated.• Confirm that the vehicle slows down whenyou press down on the brake pedal harder than usual. In some cases, the brake pedalmay go all the way to the floor.• Should the brakes fail, use engine brakingto reduce your speed and slowly apply the parking brake. Depress the brake pedal to illuminate thestop lights to alert the vehicles behind you.
 Do not suddenly apply the parking brake while driving. This may cause the rear wheels to lock and cause an accident.CAUTION
