When the rear window defogger switch ispressed with the engine running, the outsiderearview mirrors are defogged or defrosted. Current will flow thr
ough the heater element
inside the mirrors, thus clearing away frost orcondensation. The indicator light (A) will illuminate while the defogger is on.The heater will be turned off automatically in about 15 to 20 minutes depending on the out- side temperature.
CAUTION It is possible to retract and extend the mirrors by hand. After retracti
ng a mirror using the
mirror retractor switch, however, you shouldextend it by using the switch again, not by hand. If you extended the mirror by hand after retracting it using
the switch, it would
not properly lock in pos
ition. As a result, it
could move because of the wind or vibration while you are driving, taking away your rear-ward visibility.NOTE
 Be careful not to get your hands trapped while a mirror is moving.  If you move a mirror by hand or it moves after hitting a person or object, you may not be able to return it to its original positionusing the mirror retractor switch. If this hap- pens, push the mirror retractor switch to place the mirror in its
retracted position and
then push the switch again to return the mir- ror to its original position.  When freezing has occurred and mirrors fail to operate as intended,
please refrain from
repeated pushing of the retractor switch asthis action can result
in burn-out of the mir-
ror motor circuits.

If the engine does not start, turn the ignition switch back to the “OFF” or “LOCK” position, wait a few seconds,and then try again. Trying repeatedly with the engine or starter motor still turning will damage the starter mechanism. If the engine will not start because the bat- tery is weak or discharged, refer to “Jump-starting the engine” (on page 8-2)for instructions.  A longer warm up period will only con- sume extra fuel. The engine is warmed upenough for driving when the bar graph of engine coolant temperature display starts to move or the low coolant temperatureindicator goes out. Refe

ant temperature display” on page 5-134 or “Low coolant temperature indicator” onpage 5-172.

In sports mode, the curre
ntly selected gear is
displayed on the information screen in the multi-information display.
+ (SHIFT UP) The transaxle shifts up by one gear with each operation. − (SHIFT DOWN) The transaxle shifts down by one gear witheach operation.
SHIFT UP
SHIFT DOWN
CAUTION In sports mode, the driver must execute upward shifts in accordance with prevailingroad conditions, taking care to keep theengine speed below the red zone. Repeated continuous ope
ration of the spor-
tronic steering wheel pa
ddle shifter will con-
tinuously switch shift position. Gears may not change when the lateral pad- dle shifters are operated at the same time. NOTE
 Gears can only be selected in a forward direction from 1st gear to 6th gear. Toreverse 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 upshift when the selector lever is moved to the“+(SHIFT UP)” positi
on at certain vehicle
speeds. Also, to prevent over-revving of the engine, the transaxle may refuse to perform adownshift when the lever is moved to the “
−
(SHIFT DOWN)” position
at certain vehicle
speeds. When this happens, a buzzer soundsto indicate that a dow
nshift is not going to
take place.  Downward shifts are made automatically when the vehicle slows down. Before the vehicle stops, 1st ge
ar is automatically
selected.
 When the selector lever is in the “D” (DRIVE) position and sports mode isselected, the vehicle will automaticallyreturn to “D” (DRIVE)
operation if the vehi-
cle is stopped.  When the selector lever is in the “L” (LOW) position and sports mode is selected, the vehicle will stay in
sports mode and not
return to “L” (LOW) operation even if the vehicle is stopped.  The upward shift may be
made automatically
in sports mode when the engine revolutions rise and approach the tachometer’s red zone(the red-coloured part of the tachometer dial).  When pulling away from a standstill on a slippery road, pull the sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter on the + (SHIFT UP)side to select 2nd gear
. Pull the sportronic
steering wheel paddle shifter on the
−
(SHIFT DOWN) side to shift back to 1stgear.  When the sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter is operated with the selector lever in the “L” (LOW) position, gear is not shifted because the selectable shift range is limited.

N00517500275
Overuse of the brake can cause weakening, resulting in poor brake response and prema- ture wear of the brake pads.When driving down a long or steep hill, use engine braking by downshifting.
N00517600364
Your vehicle is equipped with power brakesfor more braking force with less brake pedal effort.Your brakes are designed to operate at full capacity, even if the power assist is not being used.If the power assist is not being used, the effort needed to press the br
ake pedal is greater.
If you should lose the power assist for some reason, the brakes will still work. If the power brake unit or either of the twobrake hydraulic systems stops working prop- erly, the rest of the brake system will still work, but the vehicle
will not slow down as
quickly. You will know this has happened if you find you need to press the brake down farther, orharder when slowing down or stopping, or if the brake warning light and the warning dis- play in the multi-information display comeon.
N00550700124
The disc brakes have an alarm that makes a metallic squeal when
the brake pads have
worn down enough to need service.If you hear this sound, have the brake pads replaced at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair fa
cility of your choice.
N00562601097
The hill start assist make
s it easy to start off
on a steep uphill slope by preventing the vehicle from moving back
wards. It keeps the
braking force for about 2 second when you move your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
Service brake Brake pedal
WA R N I N G Do not leave any objects near the brake pedal or let a floor mat slide under it; doing so could prevent the full pedalstroke that would be necessary in an emergency. Make sure that the pedal can be operated freely at all times. Make surethe floor mat is securely held in place.CAUTION It is important not to drive the vehicle with your foot resting on the brake pedal when braking is not required. This practice can result in very high brake temperatures, pre-mature lining wear, a
nd possible damage to
the brakes.
Power brakes
WA R N I N G Never coast downhill
with the engine OFF.
Keep the engine running whenever your vehicle is in motion. If you turn off the engine while driving, the power brakebooster will stop wo
rking and your brakes
will not work as well.
 If the power assist is lost or if either brake hydraulic system stop
s working properly,
take your vehicle to
an authorized Mit-
subishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice immediately.
Brake pad wear alarm
WA R N I N G Driving with worn brake pads will make it harder to stop, and can cause an accident.
