When the headlights of the vehicles behind you are very bright, the reflection factor of the rearview mirror is automatically changedto reduce the glare.
Normally, use the automatic mode. When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” posi- tion, the reflection fact
or of the mirror is
automatically changed.

Adjust the outside rearview mirrors only aftermaking any seat adjustments so you have aclear view to the rear of the vehicle.
The outside rearview mirrors can be adjusted when the ignition switch is in the “ON” or “ACC” position.Move the lever (A) to the same side as the mirror you wish to adjust. Press the switch (B) to adjust the mirror posi- tion.

NOTE
Do not hang items on, or spray glass cleaner on the sensor (1), as reduced sensitivitycould result.
Outside rearview mirrors
WA R N I N G Do not attempt to adjust the outside rear- view mirrors while driving. This can be dangerous. Be sure to adjust the mirrors before driv-ing. Your passenger’s side mirror is convex. The objects you see in the mirror will look smaller and farther away than theyappear in a regular flat mirror. Do not use this mirror to estimate the dis- tance of vehicles following you whenchanging lanes.

N00539601101
After about 30 minutes has elapsed with theignition switch in the “ACC” position, the function automatically cuts out the power for the audio system and other electric devicesthat can be operated with that position. When the ignition switch is turned from “ACC” to the “ON” position, the power issupplied again to those devices.
N00550900139
For vehicles with a manual transaxle, whenremoving the key, push the key in at the“ACC” position and keep it depressed until it is turned to the “LOCK” position, and remove. For vehicles with a Twin Clutch SST, when removing the key, first set the gearshift leverto the “P” (PARK) position, and then turn the key to the “LOCK” position and remove it.
START
NOTE
Your vehicle is equipped with an electronic immobilizer. To start the engine, the ID code which the transponder inside the key sendsmust match the one registered to the immobi- lizer computer. (Refer to “Electronic immobilizer” on page5-4.)
ACC power auto-cutout func- tion
NOTE
It is possible to modify functions as follows:
• The time until the power cuts out can be changed to about 60 minutes. • The ACC power auto-cutout function can be deactivated. For details, consult a Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
To remove the key
NOTE
Manual transaxle
NOTE
For vehicles with a Twin Clutch SST, the key cannot be removed unless the gearshift lever is set to the “P” (PARK) position, whichallows the ignition switch to turn to the “LOCK” position.CAUTION Do not remove the ignition key from the ignition switch while driving. The steering wheel will lock, causing loss of control. If the engine is turned off while driving, the power brake booster will stop functioning and braking efficiency will be reduced. Also,the power steering system will not function and it will require greater effort to manually steer the vehicle. Do not leave the key in the “ON” position for a long time when the engine is not running.This will cause the battery to run down.Twin Clutch SST

Always use care to change the gear with thevehicle speed matched to the engine speed.Proper shifting will improve fuel economy and prolong engine life.
N00512900144
For the best fuel economy and performance in using your manual transaxle, upshift as listedbelow.
N00513000096
It is recommended that you downshift to alower gear when needed to maintain thedesired speed, according to the table.Avoid downshifting at too high a speed. The engine may suffer damage. To maintain a safe speed and prolong brakelife, shift down to 2nd or 1st when descend- ing a steep hill. Downshifting is also important to avoid “lug-ging” the engine at too low a speed, such as when turning a corner or when driving up a steep hill.
N00513100156
The table below shows the maximum rec- ommended driving speed for in each gear.Do not drive near or at these speeds forprolonged periods of time. Do not use the gearshift lever as a han- drest. This can result in premature wear of the transaxle shift forks.
CAUTION Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal because this will cause premature clutch wear or damage. Do not coast in the “N” (Neutral) position (illegal in many states). Do not use the gearshift lever as a handrest, because this can result in premature wear ofthe transaxle shift forks.NOTE
If it is hard to shift into 1st, depress the clutch pedal a second time; the shift will thenbe easier.
Proper shift points
CAUTION Avoid downshifting that may cause the tachometer pointer to enter the red zone. This puts the engine at risk of being dam- aged.

N00540600016
While the vehicle is stopped or being driven, move the gearshift lever from the “D” (DRIVE) position in the main shift gatetoward the driver’s seat to select manual shifting. Each time the gearshift lever is pulled rear- ward, the transmission shifts up 1 gear.In addition, each time the gearshift lever is pushed forward, the transmission shifts down 1 gear.
Move the gearshift lever toward the front pas- senger’s seat to return to automated shifting.
If both the left and right sportronic steering wheel shifters are operated at the same time, the transmission may not change gears.NOTE
Only the forward gears 1 to 6 can be selected. To reverse or park, place the gearshift leverin the “R” (REVERSE) or “P” (PARK) posi- tion. During manual shifting, downshifting will be performed automatically when the vehicle slows down and the transmission will down-shift to 1st gear before the vehicle stops. If the gearshift lever or sportronic steering wheel shifters are operated repeatedly, the transmission will also shift repeatedly. In order to ensure driving performance, upshifting may not occur depending on the vehicle speed even if the gearshift lever orsportronic steering wheel shifters are oper- ated. In addition, in
order to prevent exces-
sive engine speed, the buzzer sounds anddownshifting may not occur depending on the vehicle speed even if the gearshift lever or sportronic steering wheel shifters are operated. When driving in an aggressive manner involving high engine rpm, sudden accelera- tion and/or deceleration, the Twin ClutchSST could take longer to shift due to higher fluid temperatures.CAUTION

NOTE
After manual shifting

S-AWC (Super-All Wheel Control) 5-72 Features and controls
5
The left-right differential limiting function is a function that enhances driving performance and vehicle stability by preventing idle spin-ning of a wheel when driving on slippery road surfaces or when the road surfaces of the left and right wheels are different. The yaw control function is a function that enhances vehicle cornering performance by controlling the drive power difference of theleft and right wheels
and the braking force
when the vehicle does not turn in response to steering input, such as when the steeringwheel is turned quickly or when driving on slippery road surfaces.
N00542401057
Select the control mode from the followingthree types to suit the driving conditions.
When the ignition switch is set to the “ON” position, operate the AWC switch to change the control mode.Each time the switch is pushed, the control mode changes in the order “TARMAC”
