l The driving range is shown based on the ac-
cumulated fuel consumption data, however,
may be changed depending on the driving condition (road condition, driving behavior, etc.). If the battery terminals are disconnec-
ted, the accumulated fuel consumption data will be erased. It is recommended to use the indication as reference.
l When the vehicle is fueled, the driving range
will be updated. However, if the amount of
fueling is small, the indication may not be
correct. Therefore, fill up the tank as much as possible in case of fueling.
l When the vehicle is stopped on a steep
slope, the value of the driving range may in-
crease. This is caused by the fuel movement inside the tank on the slope and is not

Economical drivingE00600100561
For economical driving, there are some tech- nical requirements that have to be met. Theprerequisite for low fuel consumption is a
properly adjusted engine. In order to achieve longer life of the vehicle and the most eco- nomical operation, we recommend you tohave the vehicle checked at regular intervals in accordance with the service standards.
Fuel economy and generation of exhaust gas
and noise are highly influenced by personal
driving habits as well as the particular operat- ing conditions. The following points shouldbe observed in order to minimize wear of
brakes, tyres and engine as well as to reduce
environmental pollution.
Starting
Avoid rapid acceleration and sudden starts;
such operation will result in higher fuel con-
sumption.
Shifting
Shift only at an appropriate speed and engine speed. Always use the highest gear possible.
The transfer shift lever should be set to “2H” when driving on normal roads and express
ways to obtain best possible fuel economy.
City traffic
Frequent starting and stopping increases the
average fuel consumption. Use roads with smooth traffic flow whenever possible. When driving on congested roads, avoid use of a
low gear at high engine speeds.
Idling
The vehicle consumes fuel even during
idling. Avoid extended idling whenever pos- sible.
Speed
At higher vehicle speed, more fuel is con-
sumed. Avoid driving at full speed. Even a
slight release of the accelerator pedal will save a significant amount of fuel.
Tyre inflation pressure
Check the tyre inflation pressures at regularintervals. Low tyre inflation pressure increa-ses road resistance and fuel consumption. In addition, low tyre pressures adversely affect
tyre wear and driving stability.
Load
Do not drive with unnecessary articles in the
luggage compartment. Especially during city
driving where frequent starting and stopping is necessary, the increased weight of the ve-
hicle will greatly affect fuel consumption. Al- so avoid driving with unnecessary luggage or carriers, etc., on the roof; the increased air re- sistance will increase fuel consumption.
Cold engine starting
Starting of a cold engine consumes more fuel.
Unnecessary fuel consumption is also caused by keeping a hot engine running. After the
engine is started, commence driving as soon
as possible.
Air conditioning
The use of the air conditioning will increase the fuel consumption.
Driving, alcohol and drugs
E00600200067
Driving after drinking alcohol is one of the
most frequent causes of accidents.

NOTElWhen the engine has not been started within
about 5 seconds after the diesel preheat indi-
cation lamp went out, return the ignition key to the “LOCK” position. Then, turn the key
to the “ON” position to preheat the engine
again.
l When the engine is warm, the diesel preheat
indication lamp does not come on even if the
ignition key is placed in the “ON” position. Start the engine by turning the ignition key
right to the “START” position.
6. Turn the ignition key to the “START”
position without depressing the accelera- tor pedal, and release it when the engine
starts.
Fuel injection amount learning
process (diesel-powered vehi-cles)
E00616000044
To keep exhaust emissions and engine noise low, the engine very occasionally performs a
learning process for the fuel injection
amount.
The engine sounds slightly different from
usual while the learning process is taking place. The change in the engine sound does
not indicate a fault.
NOx trap catalyst
(dieselpowered vehicles)* E00649200020
A NOx (nitrogen oxide) trap catalyst absorbs
the NOx contained in the exhaust gas of the diesel engine.
To maintain the NOx absorbing function, the
fuel is supplied regularly to the catalyst while
driving, and the catalyst reduces NOx to harmless N2 (nitrogen).
The bar graph of momentary fuel consump-
tion in the centre information display and en- gine sound change while NOx is being
purged automatically by the catalyst. These
do not indicate a fault.Diesel particulate filter
(DPF)* E00619801460
The diesel particulate filter (DPF) is a devicethat captures most of the particulate matter
(PM) in the exhaust emissions of the diesel
engine. The DPF automatically burns away trapped PM during vehicle operation. Under
certain driving conditions, however, the DPF is not able to burn away all of the trapped PM
and, as a result, an excessive amount of PM accumulates inside it.
WARNINGl The DPF reaches very high temperatures.
Do not park your vehicle in areas where
combustible materials such as dry grass
or leaves can come in contact with a hot exhaust system since a fire could occur.CAUTIONl Do not use any type of fuel or engine oil that
is not specified for your vehicle. Also, do not use any moisture-removing agent or oth-
er fuel additive. Such substances could have a detrimental effect on the DPF.
Refer to “Fuel selection” on page 2-02 and
“Engine oil” on page 10-04.NOTEl To minimize the likelihood of excessive ac-
cumulation of PM, try to avoid driving for long periods at low speeds and repeatedly
driving short distances, and try to keep high
engine speed driving as much as possible.

DPF warning lamp
The DPF warning lamp comes on or flashes
in the event of an abnormality in the DPF
system. Provided the DPF system is working normally, the DPF warning lamp comes on when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position and goes off a few seconds later.
If the DPF warning lamp
comes on during vehicle opera- tion
Steady illumination of the DPF warning lamp shows that the DPF has not been able to burn
away all of the trapped PM and that, as a re-
sult, an excessive amount of PM has accumu- lated inside it. To enable the DPF to burn
away the PM, try to drive the vehicle as fol-
lows:
l With the needle of the water temperature
gauge stabilized in roughly the middle of the scale, drive for about 20 minutes at a
speed of at least 40 km/h (24 mph).
If the DPF warning lamp subsequently stays
on, contact your MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.CAUTIONl You do not have to continuously drive ex-
actly as indicated above. Always strive todrive safely in accordance with road condi-
tions.
If the DPF warning lamp flash-
es during vehicle operation
Flashing of the DPF warning lamp indicates an abnormality in the DPF system. Have the system inspected at a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
CAUTIONl Continuing to drive with the DPF warning
lamp flashing could result in engine trouble
and DPF damage.Automatic transmission

Electronic Control System
II) E00603200736
Automatic transmission will automatically
change its gear depending on road and driv- ing conditions. This helps achieve smooth
driving and excellent fuel efficiency.
Also you can manually shift up and shift down the transmission. Refer to “Sports
mode” on page 6-17.NOTEl During 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
E00603300522
The transmission has 5 forward gears and 1
reverse gear.

6-15OVWX17E1Starting and driving6

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.
