or less, the display shows “----”.
When it is 3,000 km (2,000 miles) or more,
“3,000 km” or “2,000 miles” will be shown.
l When the driving range cannot be measured,
the display shows “----”.
l The driving range is shown based on the ac-
cumulated fuel consumption data, however,
may be changed depending on the driving condition (road condition, driving behavior, etc.). If the battery terminals are disconnec-
ted, the accumulated fuel consumption data will be erased. It is recommended to use the indication as reference.
l When the vehicle is fueled, the driving range
will be updated. However, if the amount of
fueling is small, the indication may not be
correct. Therefore, fill up the tank as much as possible in case of fueling.
l When the vehicle is stopped on a steep
slope, the value of the driving range may in-
crease. This is caused by the fuel movement inside the tank on the slope and is not
deemed as a failure.Resetting the driving range

The washer fluid will be sprayed onto the
windscreen by pulling the lever towards you.
The wipers operate automatically several times while the washer fluid is being sprayed.
On a vehicle equipped with the headlamp
washer, the headlamp washer operates to- gether with the windscreen washer the first time the windscreen washer is used if the
headlamps are on.
CAUTIONl If the washer is used in cold weather, the
washer fluid sprayed against the glass may
freeze resulting in poor visibility. Heat the
glass with the defroster or demister before using the washer.Rear window wiper and wash-

8 seconds.OFF-Off-The washer fluid will be sprayed on-
to the rear window when the knob is turned fully in either direction.
The wipers operate automatically
several times while the washer fluid is being sprayed.NOTEl To ensure a clear rearward view, the wiper
performs several continuous operations
when the reverse gear is engaged while the
switch is in the “INT” position.
Following this continuous operation, the wiper will automatically switch to intermit-
tent operation.

tions. For further information, we recom-
mend you to consult a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
• Adjustment of the interval for intermittent
operation
• The wipers can be changed to continuous
operation by turning the knob at the end of the lever twice to the --- (intermittent operation) position. (Continuous opera- tion mode)

3.If the engine still will not start, the en-
gine could be flooded with too much petrol. While depressing the brake pedal
on vehicles equipped with automatic transmission or the clutch pedal on thevehicles equipped with manual transmis- sion, push the accelerator pedal all the
way down and hold it there, then crank the engine for 5 to 6 seconds. Return the
ignition switch to the “LOCK” position
and release the accelerator pedal. Wait a few seconds, and then crank the engine
again for 5 to 6 seconds while depress-
ing the brake pedal or the clutch pedal, but do not push the accelerator pedal.Release the ignition key if the engine
starts. If the engine fails to start, repeat these procedures. If the engine still willnot start, we recommend you to have the
vehicle checked.
Using the MIVEC engine
The MIVEC engine automatically switches its intake-valve control between a low-speed
mode and a high-speed mode in accordancewith driving conditions for maximum engine
performance.
NOTEl To protect the engine, the high-speed mode
may not be selected while the engine coolanttemperature is low. In such a case, the en-
gine revolutions do not rise to over
5,000 rpm even if the accelerator pedal is depressed.Starting the engine (diesel-
powered vehicles)
E00601801315
1. Insert the ignition key and fasten the seat
belt.
2. Make sure the parking brake is applied.
3. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
4. Fully depress the clutch pedal (M/T).
NOTEl On vehicles with
M/T, the starter will not
operate unless the clutch pedal is fully de- pressed (Clutch interlock).
5. On vehicles with M/T, place the gear-
shift lever in the “N” (Neutral) position.
On vehicles with A/T, make sure the se-
lector lever is in the “P” (PARK) posi- tion.Vehicles with M/TVehicles with A/T
6. Turn the ignition key to the “ON” posi-
tion.
The diesel preheat indication lamp will first illuminate, and then after a short
time go out, indicating that preheating is completed.
NOTEl If the engine is cold, the diesel preheat indi-
cation lamp is on for a longer time.
l When the engine has not been started within
about 5 seconds after the diesel preheat indi-
cation lamp went out, return the ignition key
to the “LOCK” position. Then, turn the key to the “ON” position to preheat the engine
again.

Automatic transmission
INVECS-II Sports Mode5A/T (Intelligent &
Innovative Vehicle
Electronic Control System
II) E00603200736
Automatic transmission will automatically
change its gear depending on road and driv- ing conditions. This helps achieve smooth
driving and excellent fuel efficiency.Also you can manually shift up and shift
down the transmission. Refer to “Sports
mode” on page 6-21.NOTEl During running-in period or immediately af-
ter reconnection of the battery cable, there may be a case where gear shifts are not
made smoothly. This does not indicate a faulty transmission.
Gear shifts will become smooth after the transmission has been shifted several times
by the electronic control system.Selector lever operation
E00603300522
The transmission has 5 forward gears and 1
reverse gear.
The individual gears are selected automati- cally, depending on the position of the gear selector lever, the speed of the vehicle and
the position of the accelerator pedal.
Automatic transmission INVECS-II Sports Mode 5A/T (Intelligent & Innovative Vehicle Electronic Control System II)
6-19OVWE16E1Starting and driving6
In sports mode, gear shifts can be made rap-idly simply by moving the selector leverbackward and forward. In contrast to a man-
ual transmission, the sports mode allows gear shifts with the accelerator pedal depressed.SHIFT UPSHIFT DOWN
+ (SHIFT UP)
Push the lever forward once to shift up
one gear.
- (SHIFT DOWN)
Pull the lever backward once to shift
down one gear.
CAUTIONl In sports mode, the driver must execute up-
ward shifts in accordance with prevailingroad conditions, taking care to keep the en-
gine speed below the red zone.CAUTIONl By rapidly moving the selector lever back-
ward (SHIFT DOWN) twice, it is possible to
skip one gear, i.e., 3 rd
to 1 st
, 4 th
to 2 nd
or 5 th
to 3 rd
. Since sudden engine braking and/or
rapid acceleration can cause a loss of trac-
tion, however, downshifts must be made carefully in accordance with the vehicle’s
speed.NOTEl In sports mode, only the 5 forward gears can
be selected. To reverse or park the vehicle, move the selector lever to the “R” (RE-
VERSE) or “P” (PARK) position as re- quired.
l To maintain good running performance, the
transmission may refuse to perform an up- shift when the selector lever is moved to the“+ (SHIFT UP)” position at certain vehicle
speeds. Also, to prevent over-revving of the engine, the transmission may refuse to per-
form a downshift when the lever is moved to
the “- (SHIFT DOWN)” position at certain vehicle speeds.
l In sports mode, downward shifts are made
automatically when the vehicle slows down.
When the vehicle stops, 1st
gear is automati-
cally selected.NOTEl When driving away on a slippery road, push
the selector lever forward into the“+ (SHIFT UP)” position. This causes the
transmission to shift into the 2nd
gear which
is better for smooth driving away on a slip-
pery road. Push the selector lever to the
“- (SHIFT DOWN)” side to shift back to the
1 st
gear.
l For vehicles equipped with the gearshift in-
dicator, the gearshift indicator shows recom-
mended gearshift points for fuel-efficient
driving. It shows a “
” when an upshift is
recommended.
When the transfer shift lever is in the 4LLc
position, the gearshift indicator does not show recommended gearshift points.

CAUTIONl If the “N” indication lamp blinks while driv-
ing in the “D” (DRIVE) position or “Sports

ating due to a malfunction.
We recommend you to have your vehicle in-
spected as soon as possible.When the A/T fluid tempera-
ture warning lamp comes on
E00615301177
When the A/T fluid temperature warning
lamp comes on, a buzzer may sound when the automatic transmission fluid temperature
becomes abnormally high. Normally the
warning lamp comes on when the ignition
switch is turned to the “ON” position, and then will go out after a few seconds.
CAUTIONl If the lamp comes on, reduce the engine
speed and stop the vehicle in a safe area.Then set the selector lever to “P” (PARK)
position and idle the engine until the warn-
ing lamp goes off. When the warning lamp goes off, resume normal driving. If the
warning lamp does not go off, we recom- mend you to have your vehicle inspected.
