To apply the parking brake
1- Firmly depress and hold the brake pedal,then pull the lever up without pushing
the button at the end of hand grip.
CAUTIONl When you intend to apply the parking brake,
firmly press the brake pedal to bring the ve-hicle to a complete stop before pulling theparking brake lever. Pulling the parking brake lever with the vehicle moving could
make the rear wheels lock up, thereby mak- ing the vehicle unstable. It could also make
the parking brake malfunction.NOTEl Apply sufficient force to the parking brake
lever to hold the vehicle stationary after the foot brake is released.NOTEl If the parking brake does not hold the vehi-
cle stationary after the foot brake is released,
have your vehicle checked immediately.
To release the parking brake
1- Firmly depress and hold the brake pedal,
then pull the lever up slightly.
2- Push the button at the end of hand grip.
3- Lower the lever fully.
CAUTIONl Before driving, be sure that the parking
brake is fully released and brake warning
lamp is off.
If a vehicle is driven without releasing the
parking brake, the brake will be overheated, resulting in ineffective braking and possible
brake failure.CAUTIONl If the brake warning lamp does not extin-
guish when the parking brake is fully re- leased, the brake system may be abnormal.
Have your vehicle checked immediately.
For details, refer to “Brake warning lamp” on page 5-10.Parking

NOTElBe careful not to get your hands trapped
while a mirror is moving.
l If you move a mirror by hand or it moves af-
ter hitting a person or object, you may not be
able to return it to its original position using the mirror retractor switch. If this happens,
push the mirror retractor switch to place the mirror in its retracted position and then push
the switch again to return the mirror to its original position.
l If the battery voltage is low and you start the
engine while extending the mirrors, the mir- rors may stop part-way. If this happens, push
the mirror retractor switch to retract the mir- rors and then push the switch again to extend
them.
l When freezing has occurred and mirrors fail
to operate as intended, please refrain from
repeated pushing of the retractor switch as
this action can result in burn-out of the mir- ror motor circuits.
Automatic extension of mirrors
If the engine is stopped and started with the
mirrors retracted, the mirrors automatically
extend for safety when the vehicle speed rea-
ches 30 km/h (19 mph).

Ignition switch illumination
In the situations listed below, the ignitionswitch illumination comes on to facilitate in-
sertion or removal of the ignition key.
l When any door or the backdoor is
opened, the ignition switch illumination
comes on. When it is closed, the ignition switch illumination becomes steadily
dimmer until completely going off about 15 seconds later.
l When the ignition key is removed with
all the doors and the backdoor closed, the ignition switch illumination comes
on and stays on for about 15 seconds.
The ignition switch illumination immediately goes off if any of the following actions is tak-
en while it is on.
l All of the doors and the backdoor are
closed, and the ignition switch is turned
to the “ON” position.
l All of the doors and the backdoor are
locked using the central door lock func-
tion.
l All of the doors and the backdoor are
locked using the keyless entry system (if so equipped).
NOTEl If the interior lamp switch is in the “()”
position, the ignition switch illumination
will not come on.
l It is possible to adjust the period of ignition
switch illumination (the period until the igni-
tion switch illumination goes off). For de-
tails, we recommend you to consult a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.
l If the illumination period of the room & map
lamps or rear personal lamps (the period un-
til these lamps go off) is adjusted, the period
of ignition switch illumination (the period until the ignition switch illumination goes
off) will automatically be changed at the same time.
If the illumination period of the room & map
lamps or rear personal lamps is set to zero
(in other words, the illumination keep-on function is deactivated), the ignition switch
illumination will not come on when the igni-
tion switch is removed.

Tips for starting
l Do not operate the starter motor continu-
ously longer than 10 seconds; doing so
could run down the battery. If the engine
does not start, turn the ignition key back to “LOCK” position, wait a few seconds,and then try again. Trying repeatedly with the starter motor still turning will
damage the starter mechanism.
WARNINGl Never run the engine in a closed or poorly
ventilated area any longer than is needed to move your vehicle in or out of the area.Carbon monoxide gases are odourless and
can be fatal.CAUTIONl Never attempt to start the engine by pushing
or pulling the vehicle.
l Do not run the engine at high rpm or drive
the vehicle at high speed until the engine has had a chance to warm up.
l Release the ignition key as soon as the en-
gine starts to avoid damaging the starter mo-
tor.CAUTIONl If your vehicle is equipped with a turbo-
charger, do not stop the engine immediately
after high-speed or uphill driving. First al-
low the engine to idle to give the turbocharg-
er a chance to cool down.Starting the engine (petrol-
powered vehicles)

In sports mode, gear shifts can be made rap-idly simply by moving the selector leverbackward and forward. In contrast to a man-
ual transmission, the sports mode allows gear shifts with the accelerator pedal depressed.SHIFT UPSHIFT DOWN
+ (SHIFT UP)
Push the lever forward once to shift up
one gear.

- (SHIFT DOWN)
Pull the lever backward once to shift
down one gear.
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.CAUTIONl By rapidly moving the selector lever back-
ward (SHIFT DOWN) twice, it is possible to
skip one gear, i.e., 3 rd
to 1 st
, 4 th
to 2 nd
or 5 th
to 3 rd
. Since sudden engine braking and/or
rapid acceleration can cause a loss of trac-
tion, however, downshifts must be made carefully in accordance with the vehicle’s
speed.NOTEl In sports mode, only the 5 forward gears can
be selected. To reverse or park the vehicle, move the selector lever to the “R” (Reverse)
or “P” (Park) position as required.
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.
l In sports mode, downward shifts are made
automatically when the vehicle slows down.
When the vehicle stops, 1st
gear is automati-
cally selected.NOTEl When driving away on a slippery road, push
the selector lever forward into the“+ (SHIFT UP)” position. This causes the
transmission to shift into the 2nd
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.
l If the
A/T fluid temperature is high, the pro-
tection function operates.
In this case, the transmission may refuse to perform an upshift when the selector lever is
operated to the “+ (SHIFT UP)” position in
sports mode, or it may automatically down- shift.
l For vehicles equipped with the gearshift in-
dicator, the gearshift indicator shows recom- mended gearshift points for fuel-efficient
driving. It shows a “
” when an upshift is
recommended.
When the transfer shift lever is in the 4LLc
position, the gearshift indicator does not show recommended gearshift points.

When the “N” indication lamp
blinks
E00615201323
When the “N” indication lamp (A) blinks
with the “D” (DRIVE) position or “Sports mode” being selected, the A/T may be mal-
functioning.
CAUTIONl If the “N” indication lamp blinks while driv-
ing in the “D” (DRIVE) position or “Sports
Mode”, the A/T safety device may be oper-
ating due to a malfunction.
We recommend you to have your vehicle in-
spected immediately.When the A/T fluid tempera-
ture warning lamp comes on
E00615301177
When the A/T fluid temperature warning
lamp comes on, a buzzer may sound when the automatic transmission fluid temperature
becomes abnormally high. Normally the
warning lamp comes on when the ignition
switch is turned to the “ON” position, and then will go out after a few seconds.
CAUTIONl If the lamp comes on, reduce the engine
speed and stop the vehicle in a safe area.Then set the selector lever to “P” (PARK)
position and idle the engine until the warn-
ing lamp goes off. When the warning lamp goes off, resume normal driving. If the
warning lamp does not go off, we recom- mend you to have your vehicle inspected.

Operation of the A/T
E00604200560
CAUTIONlBefore selecting a gear with the engine run-
ning and the vehicle stationary, fully depressthe brake pedal to prevent the vehicle from
creeping.
The vehicle will begin to move as soon as the gear is engaged, especially when the en-
gine speed is high, at fast idle or with the air conditioning operating, the brakes should
only be released when you are ready to drive
away.
l 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.
l Operating the accelerator pedal while the
other foot is resting on the brake pedal will affect braking efficiency and may cause pre-
mature wear of brake pads.
l To prevent sudden acceleration, never race
the engine when shifting from the “P”
(PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
l Use the selector lever in the correct shift po-
sition in accordance with driving conditions. Never coast downhill backward with the se- lector lever in the “D” (DRIVE) or sportsmode position or coast forward with the se-
lector lever in the “R” (REVERSE) position. The engine may stop and the unexpected in- crease in brake pedal effort and steering
wheel weight could lead to an accident.CAUTIONl Do not race the engine with brake pedal
pressed when the vehicle is stationary.
This can damage the A/T.
Also, when you depress the accelerator ped- al while holding down the brake pedal withthe selector lever in the “P” (PARK), “N”
(NEUTRAL) or “D” (DRIVE) position, the
increase in engine revolutions may be limi-
ted.Passing acceleration
E00604500156
To gain extra acceleration in “D” (DRIVE)
position, push the accelerator to the floor.The automatic transmission will automatical- ly downshift.
NOTEl In “Sports mode”, downshifts do not take
place when the accelerator is depressed all
the way to the floor.Uphill/downhill driving
E00610500177
DRIVING UPHILL
The transmission prevents unnecessary up-
shifts even when the accelerator pedal is re- leased and ensures smooth driving.
DRIVING DOWNHILL
According to the conditions, the transmission
will automatically shift to a lower gear ratio to achieve stronger engine braking. This mayhelp reduce your need to use the service brake.
Waiting
E00604600245
For short waiting periods, such as at trafficsignals, 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
E00604700161
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”
