Electronic Control System
II)* E00603200866
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 transaxle. Refer to “Sports mode”
on page 6-29.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
E00603301200
The transmission has 6 forward gears and 1
reverse gear.
The individual gears are selected automati-cally, depending on the speed of the vehicle
and the position of the accelerator pedal.
The selector lever (A) has 2 gates; the main gate (B) and the manual gate (C).While depressing the brake pedal,
move the selector lever through the gate.Move the selector lever through the
gate.WARNINGl Always depress the brake pedal when
shifting the selector lever into a gear from the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL) po-sition.
Never put your foot on the accelerator
pedal while shifting the selector lever
from the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEU- TRAL) position.NOTEl To avoid erroneous operation, move the se-
lector lever firmly into each position and
briefly hold it there. Always check the posi- tion shown by the selector lever position dis-
play after moving the selector lever.
l If the brake pedal is not depressed and held,
the shift-lock device activates to prevent the selector lever from being moved from the “P” (PARK) position.

When the selector lever cannotbe shifted from the “P” (PARK)position
E00629100153
When the selector lever cannot be shifted
from the “P” (PARK) position to another po-
sition while the brake pedal is pressed and
held down with the ignition switch or the op- eration mode in ON, the battery may be flator the shift-lock mechanism may be malfunc-
tioning. Immediately have your vehicle checked by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point.
If you need to move the vehicle, shift the se- lector lever as follows.
For LHD vehicles 1. Make sure the parking brake is applied.
2. Stop the engine if it is running.
3. Insert a straight blade (or minus) screw-
driver with a cloth over its tip into notch
(A) or the cover. Pry gently as shown to remove the cover.
4. Depress the brake pedal with the right
foot.
5. Insert a straight blade (or minus) screw-
driver in the shiftlock release hole (B).Shift the selector lever to the “N” (NEU-
TRAL) position while pressing the
straight blade (or minus) screwdriver
down.

For RHD vehicles 1. Make sure the parking brake is applied.
2. Stop the engine if it is running.
3. Depress the brake pedal with the right
foot.

When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position or the operation mode is put in ON, the position of the selector lever is indi-
cated in the multi-information display.
Type 1Type 2Selector lever positions (Main
gate)
E00603800833
“P” PARK
This position locks the transmission to pre- vent the vehicle from moving. The engine
can be started in this position.
“R” REVERSE
This position is to back up.
CAUTIONl Never shift into the “P” (PARK) or “R”
(REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in motion to avoid transmission damage.
“N” NEUTRAL
At this position the transmission is disengag-
ed. It is the same as the neutral position on amanual transmission, and should only be
used when the vehicle is stationary for an ex-
tended length of time during driving, such as
in a traffic jam.
WARNINGl Never move the selector lever to the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position while driving. A se-rious accident could occur since you could
accidentally move the lever into the “P”
(PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position or you will lose engine braking.
l On a gradient the engine should be star-
ted in the “P” (PARK) position, not in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
l To prevent rolling, always keep your foot
on the brake pedal when the vehicle is in “N” (NEUTRAL) position, or when shift-
ing into or out of “N” (NEUTRAL) posi- tion.
“D” DRIVE
This position is used for most city and high-
way driving. The transmission will automati-
cally change its gear depending on road and driving conditions.
CAUTIONl To prevent transmission damage, never shift
into the “D” (DRIVE) position from the “R”
(REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in motion.

Sports mode
E00603901381
Whether the vehicle is stationary or in mo-
tion, sports mode is selected by gently push-
ing the selector lever from the “D” (DRIVE) position into the manual gate (A). To return
to “D” range operation, gently push the selec- tor lever back into the main gate (B).
In sports mode, gear shifts can be made rap- idly simply by moving the selector leverbackward and forward. Shift paddles at the steering wheel can also be used to perform
gearshifts. In contrast to a manual transmis- sion, the sports mode allows gear shifts with
the accelerator pedal depressed.
NOTEl You can shift into sports mode with shift
paddles when the selector lever is in the main gate as well. Also, you can return to
the “D” range operation in any of following ways.
When returning to “D” range operation, the selector lever position display will change to
“D” (DRIVE) position.
• Pull the “+ (SHIFT UP)” side shift paddle
forward (towards the driver) for over 2 seconds.
• Stop the vehicle.NOTE•Push the selector lever from the “D”
(DRIVE) position into the manual gate
(A) and push the selector lever back into the main gate (B).SHIFT

DOWNSHIFT
UPSHIFT
DOWN
+ (SHIFT UP)
The transmission shifts up by one gear
with each operation.

- (SHIFT DOWN)
The transmission shifts down by one gear
with each operation.
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.
l Repeated continuous operation of the selec-
tor lever or the shift paddles will continuous- ly switch shift position.CAUTIONl Do not use the left- and right-hand shift pad-
dles at the same time. Doing so could cause
a shift of gear ratio that you do not expect.NOTEl The upward shift may be made automatical-
ly in sports mode when the engine revolu-
tions rises and approaches the tachometer’s
red zone (the red-coloured part of the tach- ometer dial).
l In sports mode, only the
6 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. When this happens, a buzzer
sounds to indicate that a downshift is not go-
ing to take place.
l In sports mode, downward shifts are made
automatically when the vehicle slows down.
When the vehicle stops, 1 st
gear is automati-
cally selected.

NOTElWhen driving away on a slippery road, push
the selector lever forward into the“+ (SHIFT UP)” position. This cause the
transmission to shift into the 2 nd
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.Sports mode display

In sports mode, the currently selected posi-
tion is displayed on the multi-information
display
Type 1Type 2
NOTEl While driving in sport mode, the display
may change to show “D” and shifting in sports mode may no longer be possible.
This indicates that controls to drive in the
“D” position are operating normally in order to lower the temperature of the A/T fluid; it
does not indicate a malfunction. Once the
temperature of the A/T fluid drops, shifting
in the sports mode will be possible again.
l The gearshift indicator shows recommended
gearshift points for fuel-efficient driving. It
shows a “
” when an upshift is recommen-
ded.
