As an additional safe
ty precaution, models
equipped with a conti
nuously variable trans-
mission have a shift-lo
ck device that holds
the selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position. To move the selector lever from the “P” (PARK) position to a
nother position, follow
the steps below. 1. Press and hold the brake pedal down. 2. Move the selector
lever to the desired
position.
The CVT selects an optimum ratio automati- cally when the selector lever is in the “D” (DRIVE) position, depending on the speed ofthe vehicle and the position of the accelerator pedal.Selector lever operation

NOTE
 The selector lever cannot
be moved from “P”
(PARK) to another pos
ition if the ignition
switch is set to the “OFF” or “LOCK” or“ACC” position, or
if the key has been
removed, or the operation mode is put in OFF or ACC, or if the brake pedal is notpressed and held down.
Set the selector lever in the gate to operate while the brake pedal is depressed.
Except for vehicles equipped with sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter For vehicles equipped with sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter
Set the selector lever in the gate to operate.
WA R N I N G Always press the brake pedal when shift- ing the selector lever into a selector posi- tion from the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position.
When beginning to drive, do not shift theselector lever from
the “N” (NEUTRAL)
position while pressing the accelerator pedal. This will cause the vehicle to“jump” forward or backward.NOTE
 To prevent mistakes in operating the lever, make sure you stop brie
fly at each position.
After operating, check the position in the multi-information display.  If the brake pedal is not
depressed and held,
the shift-lock device activates to prevent theselector lever from being moved from the “P” (PARK) position.  For a shift indicated by in the illustra- tion, depress the brake pedal before moving the selector lever. If you attempt to move theselector lever before
depressing the brake
pedal, the selector le
ver may be immovable.

When the selector lever cannot be shifted from the “P” (PARK) position to anotherposition while the brake
pedal is pressed and
held down with the i
gnition switch at the
“ON” position or the operation mode in ON,the battery may be flat or the shift-lock mech- anism may be malfunctioning. Immediately have your
vehicle checked by an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility
of your choice.
If you need to move the vehicle, shift the selector lever as follows. 1. Make sure the parking brake is fully applied.2. Stop the engine if it is running. 3. Insert a screwdrive
r with a cloth over its
tip into the notch (A) of the cover. Prygently as shown to remove the cover.
4. Depress the brake pedal with the right foot. 5. Insert a screwdriver in the shift-lock release hole (B). Shift the selector lever to the “N” (NEUTRAL) position while pressing the screwdriver down.

or
When the warning display or the warn- ing display appears on
the information screen
in the multi-information display while you are driving, there could be a malfunction inthe CVT.
N00560601080
This position locks the transmission to pre- vent 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
transmission is disen-
gaged. It is the same
as the neutral position on
a manual transaxle and should be used whenthe vehicle is not moving for an extended length of time during driving, such as in a traffic jam.
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 di
splay 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 decrea
se, 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 engine running to allow the engine to cool down.
After a while, confirm that the warning display is no longer showing. It is safe to continue driving if the display is no longer showing. If the warning display remains or flashes frequently,
have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice. [When warning display is showing] It may be that there 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.

CAUTION
CAUTION Never shift into the “P” (PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position while the vehicle is inmotion. If the lever is shifted into the “P”(PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in motion, the transmission may be damaged.
“N” NEUTRAL

WA R N I N G Never move the select
or lever to the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position while driving since you could accidentally
slip it into the “P”

the engine should be
started in the “P” (PARK) position, not in “N” (NEUTRAL) position.

the front wheels spinning on a snowy road or in similar conditions
. The vehicle could
lunge in an unexpected direction. Driving on dry, paved roads in “4WD LOCK” mode causes increased fuel con-sumption and noise.NOTE

S-AWC (Super-All Wheel Control) (if so equipped) 5-82 Features and controls

The electronically controlled 4WD is a sys- tem that improves acceleration performance and stability performance by controlling front-rear distribution of
driving torque with
operating the electroni
c control coupling
arranged in the rear differential assembly.
The AYC is a system, with a left-right differ- ential limiting function
and yaw control func-
tion, that controls the left-rightdriving/braking force by managing the AFD* (Active Front Differential), the brake, the EPS.*: AFD (Active Front Differential) The Differential assembly that limits the front left-right differential
speed by operating elec-
tronic control clutch arranged in the transfer assembly. 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 or when the road surfaces of left and right wheels are different. The yaw control function is a function that enhances vehicle cornering performance andvehicle stability with
management of vehicle
turning power (yaw moment) by controlling
the drive power difference of the left and right wheels and the braking force when thevehicle does not turn in
response to steering
input, such as when the steering wheel is turned quickly or when driving on slipperyroad.
N00542401086
Select the drive mode from the following four types to suit the driving conditions.
CAUTION Do not over-rely on the S-AWC. Even the S- AWC cannot prevent the natural laws ofphysics from acting on the vehicle. This sys-tem, like any other sy
stem, has limits and
cannot help you to main
tain traction and con-
trol of the vehicle in
all circumstances. Reck-
less driving can lead to
accidents. It is the
driver’s responsibility to drive carefully. This means taking into account the traffic,road and environmental conditions.
