and then move the sele
ctor lever to the “P”
(PARK) position. If the transaxle does not change gears while driving, or your vehicle does not pick up enough speed when starting on an uphillslope, it may be that there is something unusual happening in the
transaxle, causing a
safety device to activa
te. Have your vehicle
checked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choiceimmediately.

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. If your vehicle is equipped with the spor- tronic steering wheel paddle shifter, you can manually shift up and shift down the trans-mission. Refer to “Sports mode” on page 5-80. The transmission prevents unnecessary upshifts even when the accelerator pedal is released and ensures smooth driving. According to the condi
tions, the transmission
will automatically shift to a lower gear ratioto achieve stronger engine braking. This may help reduce your need
to use the service
brake.
N00560301090
As an additional safe
ty precaution, models
equipped with a continuously variable trans- mission have a shift-lock device that holdsthe 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 positi
on of the accelerator
pedal.
When the automatic transaxle makes no gear change

NOTE
 When the warning display and “SLOW DOWN” or the warning display and “SERVICE REQUIRED” appear on the information screen in
the multi-information
display, there could be
a malfunction in the
automatic transaxle. Refer to “Automatic transaxle: Warning di
splay” on page 5-70.

When the selector lever cannot be shifted from the “P” (PARK) position to anotherposition 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 mech- anism may be malfunctioning. Immediately have your
vehicle checked by an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.If you need to move the vehicle, shift the selector lever as follows. 1. Make sure the parking brake is firmly applied.2. Stop the engine if it is running.
Set the selector lever in the gate to operate while the brake pedal is depressed.

If the ambient temperature is low, the selectorlever position display on the multi informa-tion display may blink when the selector lever is placed in the “D” (DRIVE), “Ds” ately after the engine has been started. This indicates that the tran
smission requires warm-
ing up. While the display is blinking, the vehicle will not move,
because the transmis-
sion keeps disengaging until the warm up is completed even if the selector lever is placed in the “D”, “Ds”, “L” or “R” position. When the selector le
ver position display is
blinking, perform th
e following procedure:
1. Depress the brake pedal with your right foot and place the se
lector lever in the
“N” (NEUTRAL) position for severalseconds. 2. Keep depressing the brake pedal and then place the selector lever in the “D” SPORTY DRIVING), “L” (LOW) or “R” (REVERSE) position. If the selector leverposition display stops
blinking, the warm
up is completed and the transmission will function normally.3. If the display is still
blinking, repeat steps
1 and 2 above.

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 follow these procedures: [If the indicator blinks

This position locks the transmission to pre- vent the vehicle from m
oving. The engine can
be started in the “P” (PARK) position. Move the lever to this position only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop.
At this position, the transmission is disen- gaged. It is the same
as the neutral position on
a manual transaxle and should be used whenthe vehicle is not m
oving for an extended
length of time during driving, such as in a traffic jam.
This position is used fo
r most city and high-
way driving. The transmission will automati- cally and continuously ch
ange its gear ratio
depending on road and driving conditions. Use when engine braking is needed, or for high-power sport drive.
After a while, confirm that the warning display is no longer show
ing. It is safe to
continue driving if the display is no longer showing. If the warn
ing display remains or
flashes frequently,
have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice. [When warning di
splay is showing]
It may be that ther
e is something unusual
happening in the CVT, causing a safety device to activate
. Have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized MitsubishiMotors dealer or a repair facility of your choice immediately.

CAUTION
CAUTION Never shift into the “P” (PARK) or “R”motion. If the lever is shifted into the “P” the vehicle is in motion, the transmission may be damaged.
“N” NEUTRAL

WA R N I N G Never move the selector lever to the “N” you could accidentally slip it into the “P” damaging the transmission. To prevent the vehicle from rolling when stopped on a slope,
the engine should be
started in the “P” (PARK) position, not in “N” (NEUTRAL) position.

While the vehicle is stopped or being drivenwith the selector lever in the “D” (DRIVE),sports mode can be se
lected by pulling one of
the sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter towards you.In sports mode, rapid
shifting is possible sim-
ply by operating the sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter.
Unlike the manual transaxle, sports mode allows shifting with the accelerator pedaldepressed. + (SHIFT UP)
up once by each opera-
tion. − (SHIFT DOWN) Transmission shifts down once by each oper- ation. To return to “D” (DRIVE) operation, pull the sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter on the + (SHIFT UP) side for longer than 2 sec- onds.
When returning to “D” (DRIVE) operation, the selector lever posit
ion display will change
to “D” (DRIVE) position.
“L” LOW

WA R N I N G This position can be used for maximum engine braking. Be very careful not to shift into “L”Sudden engine brak
ing may cause the
tires to skid. Select this position according to the roadconditions and vehicle speed.

CAUTION Upward shifts do not take place automati- cally in sports mode. The driver must makeupward shifts in accordance with prevailing road conditions, making sure the engine rpm remains below the red zone on the tachome-ter. Repeated continuous ope
ration of the spor-
tronic steering wheel pa
ddle shifter will con-
tinuously switch shift position. Shift ranges may not change when the lateral paddle shifters are opera
ted at the same time.
NOTE
Shift ranges can only be
selected in a for-
ward direction from 1st to 6th. To reverse orpark the vehicle, move
