CAUTIONlYour vehicle is equipped with a diagnosis
connector for checking and servicing theelectronic control system.
Do not connect a device other than a diagno-
sis tool for inspections and service to this
connector.
Otherwise, the battery could be discharged,
the electronic devices of the vehicle could malfunction, or other unexpected problems could result.
In addition, malfunctions caused by connect-
ing a device other than a diagnosis tool may not be covered under warranty.
l The installation of accessories, optional
parts, etc., should only be carried out
within the limits prescribed by law in your country, and in accordance with the
guidelines and warnings contained with-
in the documents accompanying this ve- hicle.
l Improper installation of electrical parts
could cause fire, please refer to the Mod-
ification/ alteration to the electrical or fuel systems section within this owner’smanual.
l When installing the radio, for the re-
quired information (frequency, transmis-
sion output, installing procedure), con-
sult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point.
If the frequency, transmission output and
installing condition are not appropriate, it can adversely affect the electronic de-vices and could lead to unsafe vehicle
operation.
l Using a cellular phone or radio set inside
the vehicle without an external antenna
may cause electrical system interference,
which could lead to unsafe vehicle oper- ation.
l Tyres and wheels which do not meet
specifications must not be used.
Refer to the “Specifications” section for information regarding wheel and tyre
sizes.
Important points!
Due to a large number of accessories and re-
placement parts of different manufactures available in the market, it is not possible, not
only for MITSUBISHI MOTORS , but also a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point, to check whether the attachment or in-
stallation of such parts affects the overall safety of your MITSUBISHI-vehicle.

Even when such parts are officially Author-
ized, for example by a “general operators permit” (an appraisal for the part) or throughthe execution of the part in an officially ap-
proved manner of construction, or when a single operation permit following the attach-
ment or installation of such parts, it cannot be deduced from that alone, that the drivingsafety of your vehicles has not been affected.

Consider also that there basically exists no li-
ability on the part of the appraiser or the offi- cial. Maximum safety can only be ensured
with parts recommended, sold and fitted or
installed by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point ( MITSUBISHI
MOTORS GENUINE replacement parts and
MITSUBISHI MOTORS accessories). The
same also pertains to modifications of
MITSUBISHI vehicles with respect to the
production specifications. For safety reasons, do not attempt any modifications other than
those that follow the recommendations of a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point.

Manual transmission*E00602002005
The shift pattern is shown on the gearshift lever knob. To start off, depress the clutch
pedal all the way down and shift into 1 st
or
“R” (Reverse) position. Then gradually re- lease the clutch pedal while depressing the
accelerator pedal.CAUTIONl Do not put the gearshift lever into the re-
verse position while the vehicle is moving forward. Doing so could damage the trans-mission.
l Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal
while driving as this will cause premature clutch wear or damage.
l Do not coast in the “N” (Neutral) position.
l Do not use the gearshift lever as a hand rest,
because this can result in premature wear of the transmission shift forks.
l Quick or slight clutch engagement made
while the engine is running at high speed
will cause damage to the clutch and trans-
mission because the tractive force is very great.NOTEl During cold weather, shifting may be diffi-
cult until the transmission lubricant has
warmed up. This is normal and not harmful
to the transmission.
l If it is hard to shift into 1 st
, depress the
clutch pedal again; the shift will then be eas-
ier to make.
l In case of hot weather condition or long time
cruising with high speed, a speed limitation
function may work to restrict the oil temper-
ature rising of the manual transmission. Af- ter the oil temperature drops to the appropri-
ate level, the speed limitation function is cancelled.
l The gearshift indicator shows recommended
gearshift points for fuel-efficient driving. It
shows a
when an upshift is recommen-
ded.
Moving the gearshift lever to
the “R” (Reverse) position
E00615401211
Depress and hold the gearshift lever to the
“R” (Reverse) position.
CAUTIONl Do not depress the gearshift lever when
moving it to any position other than the “R”
(Reverse) position. If you always depress the gearshift lever when moving it, you could unintentionally move the gearshift lever tothe “R” (Reverse) position and cause an ac-
cident and/or a transmission fault.Possible driving speed
E00610802884
Avoid shifting down at high speed, as this
may cause excessive engine speed (the tach-
ometer needle into the red zone) and damage the engine.

Automatic transmission
Sports Mode 5A/T E00603201935NOTElDuring 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
E00603302236
The transmission has 5 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 maingate (B) and the manual gate (C).While depressing the brake pedal,
move the selector lever through the gate.Move the selector lever throughthe 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 cannot
be shifted from the “P” (PARK)position
E00629101192
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 at the “ON” position or the operation mode in ON,the battery may be flat or the shift-lock
mechanism may be malfunctioning. Immedi-
ately have your vehicle checked by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point.
If you need to move the vehicle, shift the se- lector lever as follows.
For LHD vehicles
