Selector lever operation
E00602201505
The CVT selects an optimum gear ratio auto-
matically, depending on the speed of the ve-hicle and the position of the accelerator ped-
al.
For vehicles equipped without shift paddlesFor vehicles equipped with shift paddlesWhile depressing the brake pedal,
move the selector lever through
the gate.Move the selector lever through
the gate.WARNINGl Always depress the brake pedal when
shifting the selector lever into the other position from the “P” (PARK) or “N”(NEUTRAL) position.
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
E00629001595
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 or the op- eration mode in ON, the battery may be flator the shift-lock mechanism may be malfunc-
tioning. Immediately have your vehicle checked by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point.
If you need to move the vehicle, shift the se- lector lever as follows. 1. Make sure the parking brake is applied.
2. Stop the engine if it is running.

Operation of the CVT
E00602601642
CAUTIONlBefore selecting a position with the engine
running and the vehicle stationary, fully de-
press the brake pedal to prevent the vehicle from creeping.
The vehicle will begin to move as soon as the CVT 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 To prevent sudden acceleration, never race
the engine when shifting from the “P”
(PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
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.CAUTIONl 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), “Ds” (DOWNSHIFT & SPORTY DRIVING) or
“L” (LOW) position or coast forward with the selector 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.
l Do not race the engine with brake pedal
pressed when the vehicle is stationary.
This can damage the CVT.
Also, when you depress the accelerator ped- al while holding down the brake pedal withthe selector lever in the “D” (DRIVE) posi-
tion, the engine revolutions may not rise as high as when performing the same operation
with the selector lever in the “N” (NEU-
TRAL) position.Passing accelerationE00602700109
To gain extra acceleration in “D” (DRIVE)
position, push the accelerator to the floor.The CVT will automatically downshift.
NOTEl In “Sports mode”, downshifts do not take
place when the accelerator is depressed all
the way to the floor.Uphill/downhill driving
E00603000112
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
E00602800126
For short waiting periods, such as at trafficsignals the vehicle can be left in selector lev-er position and held stationary with the serv-
ice 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.

CAUTIONlNever hold the vehicle stationary while in
CVT on a hill with the accelerator, always
apply the parking brake and/or service
brake.Parking
E00602900039
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”
(PARK) position.
If you are going to leave the vehicle unatten-
ded, always switch off the engine and carry the key.
NOTEl On a slope, be sure to apply the parking
brake before moving the selector lever to the
“P” (PARK) position. If you move the selec- tor lever to the “P” (PARK) position before applying the parking brake, it may be diffi-
cult to disengage the selector lever from the
“P” (PARK) position when next you drive the vehicle, requiring application of a strong
force to the selector lever to move from the
“P” (PARK) position.When the CVT makes no speed
change
E00603101208
If the transmission does not change speeds
while driving, or your vehicle does not pick up enough speed when starting on an uphillslope, it may be that there is something un-
usual happening in the transmission, causing a safety device to activate. We recommendthat you have your vehicle inspected immedi-
ately.

Hill start assist*E00628000155
The hill start assist makes it easy to start off on a steep uphill slope by preventing the ve-
hicle from moving backwards. It keeps the
braking force for about 2 seconds when you move your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.CAUTIONl Do not overly rely on the hill start assist to
prevent backwards movement of the vehicle. Under certain circumstances, even when hill
start assist is activated, the vehicle may
move backwards if the brake pedal is not sufficiently depressed, if the vehicle is heav-
ily loaded, or if the road is very steep or slip- pery.
l The hill start assist is not designed to keep
the vehicle stopped in place on uphill slopes for more than 2 seconds.
l When facing uphill, do not rely on using the
hill start assist to maintain a stopped position as an alternative to depressing the brake ped-
al.
Doing so could result in an accident.CAUTIONl Do not perform the following operation
while the hill start assist is operating.
[Except for vehicles equipped with keyless operation system]
Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” or
“ACC” position.
[Vehicles equipped with keyless operation
system]
Put the operation mode in OFF or ACC.
The hill start assist could stop operating, which could result in an accident.To operate
E00628100374
1. Stop the vehicle completely using the
brake pedal.
2. On vehicles equipped with M/T, place
the gearshift lever into the 1 st
position.
On vehicles equipped with A/T, CVT,
place the selector lever into the “D” po- sition.
NOTEl When reversing on an uphill slope, place the
gearshift lever or the selector lever into the
“R” position.
3. Release the brake pedal and the hill start
assist will maintain the braking force ap-
plied while stopping for approximately 2 seconds.
4. Depress the accelerator pedal and the
hill start assist gradually will decrease the braking force as the vehicle startsmoving.NOTEl The hill start assist is activated when all of
the following conditions are met.
• The engine is running.
(The hill start assist will not be activated
while the engine is starting or immediate-
ly after the engine is started.)
• On vehicles equipped with
M/T, the gear-
shift lever is in the following position.
[When starting an uphill slope forwards.]
The gearshift lever is in any position other
than “R”.
(The hill start assist will operate, even if
the gearshift lever is in the “N” position.)
[When starting an uphill slope back-
wards.]
The gearshift lever is in the “R” position.
(The hill start assist will not operate when the gearshift lever is in the “N” position.)
• On vehicles equipped with
A/T, CVT, the
selector lever is in any position other than “P” or “N”.
• The vehicle is completely stationary, with

WARNINGlDo not stop the engine while the vehicle is
moving. Stopping the engine would make the steering wheel extremely hard to turn,
possibly resulting in an accident.NOTEl During repeated full-lock turning of the
steering wheel (for example, while you are manoeuvring the vehicle into a parking space), a protection function may be activa-
ted to prevent overheating of the power steering system. This function will make the
steering wheel gradually harder to turn. In
this event, limit your turning of the steering wheel for a while. When the system has
cooled down, the steering action will return to normal.
l If you turn the steering wheel while the vehi-
cle is stationary with the headlamps on, the
headlamps may become dim. This behaviour is not abnormal. The headlamps will returnto their original brightness after a shortwhile.Electric power steering system

When there is a malfunction in the system, the warning display will appear on the infor-
mation screen in the multi-information dis-
play.
CAUTIONl If the warning display appears while engine
is running, have the vehicle inspected by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point as soon as possible. It may become
harder to turn the steering wheel.Active stability control
(ASC)* E00616700331
The Active Stability Control (ASC) takes
overall control of the anti-lock brake system, traction control function and stability control
function to help maintain the vehicle’s con-
trol and traction. Please read this section in conjunction with the page on the anti-lock
