N00514201395
This position locks the transaxle to prevent the vehicle from moving.
The engine can be
started from the “P” (PARK) position. Move the lever to this position only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop. At this position, the tr
ansaxle is disengaged.
It is the same as th
e neutral position on a
manual transaxle and should be used when the vehicle is not moving for an extended length of time during driving, such as in atraffic jam.
This position is used for most city and high- way driving. The transaxle will automatically change its gear depe
nding on road and driv-
ing conditions.
CAUTION If a malfunction occurs in the automatic transaxle while driving, the warning dis- play or the warni
ng display will appear
on the information screen in the multi-infor- mation display. In this case, immediat
ely park your vehicle
in a safe place and fo
llow these procedures:
When warning display is showing The automatic transaxle
fluid is overheating.
Stop your vehicle in a
safe place, put the
selector lever in the
“P” position, and open
the engine hood with the engine running to allow the engine to c
ool down. After a while,
confirm that the warning display is no longer showing. It is sa
fe to continue driving
if the display is no longer showing. If thewarning display remains or flashes fre- quently, have your vehicle inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or arepair facility of your choice. When warning display is showing It may be that there is something unusual happening in the automa
tic transaxle, caus-
ing a safety device to
activate. Have your
vehicle inspected by an
authorized Mitsubi-
shi Motors dealer or a repair facility of yourchoice as soon as possible.
Selector lever positions
“P” PARK
“R” REVERSE
CAUTION Never shift into the “P” (PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in motion. If the lever is shifted into the “P” (PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position whilethe vehicle is in moti
on, the transaxle may be
damaged.
“N” NEUTRAL
WA R N I N G Never move the selector lever to the “N” (NEUTRAL) position while driving sinceyou could accidentally
slip it into the “P”
(PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position, damaging the transaxle. To prevent the vehicle from rolling when stopped on a slope,
the engine should be
started in the “P” (P
ARK) position, not in
“N” (NEUTRAL) position. To prevent rolling, always keep your foot on the brake pedal when the vehicle is in “N” (NEUTRAL) positi
on, or when shift-
ing into or out of
“N” (NEUTRAL) posi-
tion.
“D” DRIVE
CAUTION To prevent transaxle damage, never shift into the “D” (DRIVE) position from the “R” (REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in motion.

N00514501369
On vehicles with a s
portronic steering wheel
paddle shifter, gears
may not change when
the lateral paddle shifters are operated at thesame time. NOTE
Gears can only be selected in a forward direction from 1st gear to 6th gear. To reverse or park the vehi
cle, move the selector
lever to the “R” or “P” position. To maintain good running performance, the transaxle may refuse to perform an upshiftwhen the selector lever is moved to the “+(SHIFT UP)” positi
on at certain vehicle
speeds. Also, to prevent over-revving of theengine, the transaxle may refuse to perform 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 dow
nshift is not going to
take place. Downward shifts are made automatically when the vehicle slows down. When thevehicle stops, 1st ge
ar is automatically
selected. The upward shift may be
made automatically
in sports mode when the engine revolutions rises and approaches
the tachometer’s red
zone (the red-coloured
part of the tachometer
dial).CAUTION
When pulling away from a standstill on a slippery road, push the
selector lever forward
to the +(SHIFT UP) pos
ition to select 2nd
gear. Push the selector lever to the - (SHIFT DOWN) side to shift back to 1st gear.
Sports mode display
NOTE
Type 1 Type 2
NOTE
While driving in sports mode, the sports mode display may change to show “D” andshifting in sports
mode may no longer be
possible. This indicates that controls to drive in the “D” position are operati
ng normally in order
to lower the temperature of the automatic transaxle fluid; it doe
s not indicate a mal-
function. Once the temperature of the auto-matic transaxle fluid drops, shifting in the sports mode will be possible again.
Operation of the automatic transaxle
CAUTION Before selecting a gear
with the engine run-
ning and the vehicle
stationary, firmly
depress the brake pedal to prevent the vehi-cle from creeping. The vehicle will begin to
move as soon as the
gear is engaged, espe
cially when the engine
speed or idle speed is
high, or with the air
conditioning operating. Do not release the br
ake pedal until you are
ready to drive away. Depress the brake pedal with the right foot at all times.Using the left foot c
ould cause driver move-
ment delay in case of an emergency.

e “L” (LOW) position,
gear is not shifted
because the selectable
shift range is limited.
SHIFT UP
SHIFT DOWN
CAUTION Upward shifts do not take place automati- cally in sports mode. The driver must make upward shifts in accordance with prevailing road conditions, making
sure the engine rpm
remains below the red zone on the tachome- ter. Repeated continuous op
eration of the selec-
tor lever or the spor
tronic steering wheel
paddle shifter will cont
inuously switch shift
position. On vehicles with a s
portronic steering wheel
paddle shifter, shift ranges may not change when the lateral paddle shifters are operated at the same time.NOTE
Shift ranges can only be
selected in a for-
ward direction from 1st to 6th. To reverse orpark the vehicle, move
the selector lever to
the “R” or “P” position.
To maintain good running performance, the transmission may refuse to perform anupshift when the select
or lever or sportronic
steering wheel pa
ddle shifter is moved to the
“+(SHIFT UP)” positi
on at certain vehicle
speeds. Also, to prevent over-revving of theengine, the transmission
may refuse to per-
form a downshift when the shift lever or sportronic steering wh
eel paddle shifter is
moved to the “- (SHIFT DOWN)” position at certain vehicle speeds.
When this happens, a
buzzer sounds to
indicate that a downshift is
