This position locks the transmission to pre- vent the vehicle from m
oving. 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.
CAUTION If a malfunction occurs in the CVT while driving, the indicator will brink.In this case, immediat
ely park your vehicle
in a safe place and follow these procedures: [If the indicator blinks
rapidly (once per sec-
ond), the CVT fluid is overheating.]Park your vehicle in
a safe place but do not
turn off the engine. M
ove the selector lever
to the “P” (PARK) position and open thebonnet. Keep the engine, idling. After a while, move the selector lever into any position other than
“P” (PARK) position
and confirm that the in
dicator stops blinking.
It is safe to continue driving if the indicator no longer blinks.If the indicator conti
nues blinking or blinks
intermittently, have
your vehicle inspected
by an authorised Mitsubishi Motors dealer.[If the indicator blinks slowly (once per 2 seconds), the CVT sa
fety device may be
operating due to a malfunction.]Have the vehicle insp
ected by an authorised
Mitsubishi Motors dealer as soon as possi- ble.
CAUTION If a malfunction occurs in the CVT while driving, the warning display or the warning display will appear on the informa- tion screen in the multi-information display. In this case, follow these procedures: [When warning display is showing] The continuously variable transmission (CVT) fluid is overhea
ting. The engine con-
trol may activate to lower the CVT fluid tem-perature, causing the e
ngine revolutions and
vehicle speed to decrease, In this case, take one of the following procedures.• Slow down your vehicle.• Stop your vehicle in a
safe place, put the
selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position, and open the engine hood with the enginerunning to allow the engine to cool down.
After a while, confirm that the warning display is no longer show
ing. It is safe to
continue driving if th
e display is no longer
showing. If the warn
ing display remains or
flashes frequently,
have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice. [When warning di
splay is showing]
It may be that ther
e is something unusual
happening in the CVT, causing a safety device to activate
. Have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized MitsubishiMotors dealer or a repair facility of your choice as soon
as possible.

NOTE
 For vehicles equipped
with the sportronic
steering wheel paddle sh
ifter, sports mode
can be operated even wh
en the selector lever
is in the “D” (DRIVE) or “L” (LOW) posi- tion. Also, you can return to the “D” opera- tion in any of following ways. Whenreturning to “D” operati
on, the selector lever
position display will ch

position. • Pull the +(SHIFT UP) side sportronic steer- ing wheel paddle shifter forward (towardthe driver) for over 2 seconds. • Stop the vehicle When the paddle shifter is operated with the selector lever in th
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
not going to take place.

plete stop, fully engage the parking brake, and then move the sele
ctor lever to the “P”
(PARK) position. If the CVT does not shift while driving, or your vehicle does not pick up enough speed when starting on an uphill slope, it may be that there is something unusual happening inthe transmission, causi

The electronically controlled 4WD systemhelps improve accelera
tion and vehicle stabil-
ity by controlling the fr
ont-rear distribution of
driving torque using th
e electronic control
coupling in the rear differential assembly.
Select the drive mode from the following 3 types to suit the driving conditions.

The status of each drive mode display is as follows. On vehicles with color liquid crystal display meter, the drive mode is displayed as an inter- rupt display on the information screen in themulti information display when the drive mode is switched. After a few seconds, th
e information screen
returns from the drive mode display to the previous screen.
4WD LOCK
This mode is for driving in slippery conditions, such as snow covered roads or on sand. Large traction torque is dis-tributed to the rear wheels to assist in getting out of slip- pery areas.

This is the most fuel efficient mode. Normal operation is in 2WD, but 4WD performance will be provided under slippery conditions.
NORMAL
This mode can be used on both dry and wet roads. The distri- bution of driving/braking torque to each wheel is auto-matically controlled according to the driving condition.
SNOW
This mode is for driving on slippery road surfaces, such as snow-covered roads.
LOCK
This mode is for driving where maximum traction is required. This mode is suitable for driv-ing on rough roads or driving in mud, sand or fresh snow.
