lizer function)
While carrying the F.A.S.T.-key, the engine switch can be used
to start the engine.
The indicator light on the engine switch turns off.On vehicles equipped w
ith continuously vari-
able transmission (CVT), the operation mode cannot be put in OFF when the selector leveris in any position other than the “P” (PARK) position. Allows operation of some

Wind buffeting can be de
scribed as the per-
ception of pressure on the ears or a booming or rumbling sound. Your
vehicle may exhibit
wind buffeting when driving with one or bothrear door windows down or partially opened. This is a normal occurre
nce that can be mini-
mized. If the buffeting
occurs with the rear
door windows open, open the front door win- dows as well as the rear door windows to minimize the condition.
N00511400399
To park the vehicle, fi
rst bring it to a com-
plete stop, fully engage the parking brake, and then move the gearshift lever to 1st (on auphill) or “R” (Reverse) (on a downhill) posi- tion for vehicles equi
pped with a manual
transaxle, set the se
lector lever to “P”
(PARK) position for vehicles equipped with a continuously variable transmission (CVT).
 If the battery terminals are disconnected or the fuse for electric
window is replaced, the
safety mechanism will
be cancelled and the
door window will not automatically open/close completely. If the window is open,
repeatedly raise the
driver’s door window switch until the win- dow has been fully cl
osed. Following this,
release the switch, raise the switch onceagain and hold it in this condition for at least 1 second, then release it. You should now be able to operate the driver’s door window inthe normal fashion.

Continuously variable transmission (CVT) (if so equipped) 5-42 Features and controls

N00560200050
The CVT will automati
cally and continuously
change its gear ratio depending on road anddriving conditions. This helps achieve smooth driving and excellent fuel efficiency. The transmission prevents unnecessary upshifts even when the accelerator pedal isreleased and ensures smooth driving. According to the conditions, the transmission will automatically shift to a lower gear ratio to achieve stronger engine braking. This may help reduce your need to use the servicebrake.
N00560301087
As an additional safe
ty precaution, models
equipped with a conti
nuously variable trans-
mission have a shift-lo
ck device that holds
the selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position. To move the selector lever from the “P” the steps below. 1. Press and hold the brake pedal down. 2. Move the selector lever to the desiredposition.
The CVT selects an optimum ratio automati- cally when the selector lever is in the “D”
nding on the speed of
the vehicle and the position of the acceleratorpedal.

Selector lever operation

NOTE
 The selector lever cannot
be moved from “P” sition if the ignition
switch is set to the “OFF” or “ACC” posi- tion, or if the key has been removed, or oper-ation mode is in “OFF” or “ACC”, or if the brake pedal is not pressed and held down.
Set the selector lever in the gate to operate while the brake pedal is depressed. Set the selector lever in the gate to operate.
WA R N I N G Always press the brake pedal when shift- ing the selector lever into a selector posi- tion from the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position.
When beginning to drive, do not shift theselector lever from
the “N” (NEUTRAL)
position while pressing the accelerator pedal. This will cause the vehicle to“jump” forward or backward.

When a malfunction occurs in the automatic transaxle

When the selector lever position indicator blinks

NOTE
 The “A” indicator blinks only if the CVT selector lever sw
itch is broken.
It is not seen during normal driving.
CAUTION If a malfunction occurs in the CVT while driving, the indicator will blink.In this case, immediat
ely park your vehicle
in a safe place and fo
llow these procedures:
[If the indicator blinks
rapidly (once per sec-
ond), the CVT fluid is overheating.]Park your vehicle in a safe place but do not turn off the engine. M
ove the selector lever
to the “P” (PARK) position and open theengine hood. Keep th
e engine, idling.
After a while, move the selector lever into any position other than “P” (PARK) positionand confirm that the i
ndicator stops blinking.
It is safe to continue driving if the indicator no longer blinks.If the indicator conti
nues blinking or blinks
intermittently, have your
vehicle inspected at
an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer orrepair facility
of your choice.
[If the indicator blinks slowly (once per 2 seconds), the CVT may
be operating in fail-
safe mode due to a malfunction.] Have the vehicle inspected at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer
or repair facility of
your choice as soon as possible.
Operation of the CVT

CAUTION Before selecting a pos
ition with the engine
running and the vehicl
e stationary, firmly
depress the brake pedal to prevent the vehi- cle from creeping. The vehicle will begin to move as soon as theCVT is engaged, especi
ally when the engine
speed or idle speed is
high, or with the air
conditioning (cooling or
heating) operating.
Do not release the brak
e pedal until you are
ready to drive away. Depress the brake pedal
with the right foot at
all times. Using the left foot could cause driver move-ment delay in case of an emergency. To prevent sudden acce
leration, never run
the engine at high rpms when shifting from the

To gain extra acceleration in “D” (DRIVE) position (when passing an
other vehicle) push
the accelerator to the floor. The CVT will automatically downshift.
For short waiting periods, such as at traffic lights, the vehicle can be
left in selector lever
position and held stationary with the servicebrake. For longer waiting periods with the engine running, place th
e selector lever in the “N”
brake, while holding the vehicle stationary with the service brake. Prior to moving off after having stopped the vehicle, make sure that the selector lever is in“D” (DRIVE) position. To park the vehicle, fi
rst bring it to a com-
plete stop, fully engage the parking brake,
and then move the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position. If the CVT does not shift while driving, or your vehicle does not pick up enough speed when starting on an uphill slope, it may bethat there is something unusual happening in the transmission. Have your vehicle checked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice as soon as pos- sible.
N00517501328
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 moving
the selector lever
to “Ds” (DOWNSHIFT & SPORTY DRIV- ING) or “L” (LOW) position.
 Use the selector lever in the correct shift position in accordance
with driving condi-
tions.Never coast downhill backward in the driv- ing shift position “D” (DRIVE), “Ds” Engine stopping and in
creased brake pedal
and steering effort could
lead to an accident.
Do not rev the engine
with the brake pedal
pressed when the vehi
cle is stationary.
This can damage the CVT. Also, when you depress

N00518300573
Cruise control is an automatic speed control system that keeps a set speed. It can be acti-vated at speeds from about 25 mph (40 km/h). Cruise cont
rol does not work at
speeds below about 25 mph (40 km/h).
NOTE
 The indicator may turn on when you start the engine. This means
that the battery volt-
age momentarily dropped when the enginewas started. It does not
indicate a malfunc-
tion, provided that
the display goes out
immediately.  When a compact spare tire has been put on your vehicle, the grippi
ng ability of the tire
will be lower, making it
more likely that the
indicator will blink.

CAUTION When towing the vehicle with only the front wheels or only the rear wheels raised off theground, do not place th
e ignition switch in
the “ON” position or
do not put the operation
mode in ON. Placing
the ignition switch in
the “ON” position or
putting the operation
mode in ON could cause the ASC to operate, resulting in an accident.Note that the correct towing method dependson the transmission type
and the vehicle’s
drive configuration. For details, refer to
“Towing” on page 8-12.
Cruise control
(if so equipped)
When you do not wish to drive at a set speed, turn off the cruise control for safety. Do not use cruise control when driving con- ditions will not allow
you to stay at the same
speed, such as in heavy traffic or on roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered, wet,slippery, on a steep downhill slope. On vehicles equipped
with manual transaxle,
do not move the gearshift lever to the “N” (Neutral) position whil
e driving at a set
speed without depressi
ng the clutch pedal.
The engine will run too fast and might be damaged.NOTE
 Cruise control may not
be able to keep your
speed on uphills or downhills.  Your speed may decr
ease on a steep uphill.
You may use the accelerator pedal if you want to stay at your set speed.
