display blinks
E00615201336
When the selector lever position display blinks while you are driving, there could be a
malfunction in the automatic transmission system.
NOTEl “A” indicator does blink only the condition
that the A/T positional switch is broken.
It does not indicate in normal driving condi- tion.CAUTIONl If the selector lever position display blinks
while you are driving, it is likely that a safe-

ately have the vehicle inspected at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.

NOTElIn sports mode, downshifts do not take place
when the accelerator is depressed all the way to the floor.Waiting
E00604601372
For short waiting periods, such as at traffic
signals, the vehicle can be left in gear and held stationary with the service brake.
For longer waiting periods with the engine
running, place the selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position and apply the parking
brake, while holding the vehicle stationary with the service brake.
CAUTIONl Never hold the vehicle stationary on a hill
using the accelerator pedal (without using
the brake pedal). Always apply the parking brake and/or service brakes.Parking
E00604700187
To park the vehicle, first bring it to a com-
plete stop, fully engage the parking brake,and then move the selector lever to the “P”
(PARK) position.
If you are going to leave the vehicle unatten-
ded, always switch off the engine and carry the key.
NOTEl On a slope, be sure to apply the parking
brake before moving the selector lever to the
“P” (PARK) position. If you move the selec- tor lever to the “P” (PARK) position before applying the parking brake, it may be diffi-
cult to disengage the selector lever from the
“P” (PARK) position when next you drive the vehicle, requiring application of a strong
force to the selector lever to move from the
“P” (PARK) position.When the automatic transmis-
sion makes no speed change
E00604801882
If the transmission does not change speeds
while driving, or your vehicle does not pick up enough speed when starting on an uphillslope, it may be that there is something un-
usual happening in the transmission, causing a safety device to activate. Immediately have
your vehicle checked at a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point. 1. If your vehicle has difficulty moving up-
hill, shift the selector lever into 2 nd
gear
of the sports mode. This method might
not work depending on the transmission malfunction.
2. Once the vehicle is moving on a level
road, move the selector lever back to“D” (DRIVE).
NOTEl When the selector lever position display in
the instrument panel blinks, it means that
there is an abnormal condition in the trans- mission.
Refer to “When the selector lever position
display blinks” on page 6-33.Easy select 4WD*

Shifting to rear-wheel drive or 4-wheel drivecan be made by operating the drive mode-se-
lector (A). Set the drive mode-selector to an appropriate position according to the roadsurface conditions. In addition, the 2WD/4WD operation indication lamp and the
low-range indication lamp indicates the drive
mode-selector setting state. Refer to “2WD/4WD operation indication lamp and low-range indication lamp” on page 6-38.

CAUTIONlIf the warning is turn on, the hill start assist
will not operate. Start off carefully.
l Park your vehicle in a safe place and stop
the engine.
Restart the engine and check whether the warning indicator went out, in which case
the hill start assist is again working normal- ly. If the warning remains displayed or reap-
pears frequently, it is not necessary to stop
the vehicle immediately, but the vehicle
should be inspected by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.Brake assist system
E00627001780
The brake assist system is a device assistingdrivers who cannot depress the brake pedalfirmly when it is necessary to do so (such as
in emergency stop situations) and provides
greater braking force.
If the brake pedal is depressed suddenly, the brakes will be applied with more force thanusual.
CAUTIONl The brake assist system is not a device de-
signed to exercise braking force greater than its capacity. Make sure to always keep a suf-
ficient distance between your vehicle and a
vehicle in front of you without relying too much on the brake assist system.NOTEl Once the brake assist system is operational,
it maintains great braking force even if the
brake pedal is lightly released.
To stop its operation, completely remove
your foot from the brake pedal.
l When the brake assist system is in use while
driving, you may feel the brake pedal at-
tempt to resist, the pedal moves in small mo- tions in conjunction with the operation
noise, or the vehicle body and the steering wheel vibrate. This occurs when the brake
assist system is operating normally and does not indicate faulty operation. Continue to
firmly depress the brake pedal.
l When the active stability & traction control
(ASTC) indication lamp is illuminated, the
brake assist system may not function.Emergency stop signal
system* E00626001129
This is a device that reduces the possibility of rear end collisions by the rapid and automatic blinking of the hazard warning lamps to alert
vehicles approaching from behind during sudden braking. When the emergency stop
signal system operates, the hazard warning indication lamp in the instrument cluster
blinks rapidly at the same time.CAUTIONl If the ABS warning lamp or ASTC indica-
tion lamp illuminates, the emergency stopsignal system may not operate. Refer to“ABS warning lamp” on page 6-57.
Refer to “ASTC indication lamp” on page
6-62.NOTEl [Activating condition for the emergency stop
signal system]
It activates when all of the following condi-
tions are met.
