CAUTIONlBefore driving, be sure that the parking
brake is fully released and brake warning lamp is off.
If you drive without the parking brake fully
released, the warning display will appear on the information screen in the multi-informa-tion display.
If a vehicle is driven without releasing the
parking brake, the brake will be overheated, resulting in ineffective braking and possible
brake failure.Warning lampWarning display type 1Warning display type 2CAUTIONl If the brake warning lamp does not extin-
guish when the parking brake is fully re- leased, the brake system may be behavingabnormal.
Have your vehicle checked immediately.
For details, refer to “Brake warning lamp” on page 5-47.Parking
E00600601664
To park the vehicle, fully engage the parkingbrake, and then move the gearshift lever to 1 st
or “R” (Reverse) position for vehicles equip-
ped with M/T, or set the selector lever to “P”
(PARK) position for vehicles equipped with
A/T or CVT.
Parking on a hill
To prevent the vehicle from rolling, followthese procedures:
Parking on a downhill slope
Turn the front wheels towards the kerb and
move the vehicle forward until the kerb side wheel gently touches the kerb.
On vehicles equipped with M/T, apply the
parking brake and place the gearshift lever
into the “R” (Reverse) position.
On vehicles equipped with A/T, CVT, apply
the parking brake and place the selector lever
into the “P” (PARK) position.
If necessary, apply chocks to wheels.
Parking on an uphill slope
Turn the front wheels away from the kerb and move the vehicle back until the kerb side
wheel gently touches the kerb.
On vehicles equipped with M/T, apply the
parking brake and place the gearshift lever
into the 1 st
position.
On vehicles equipped with A/T, CVT, apply
the parking brake and place the selector lever
into the “P” (PARK) position.
If necessary, apply chocks to wheels.
NOTEl If your vehicle is equipped with
A/T, CVT,
be sure to apply the parking brake before
moving selector lever to the “P” (PARK) po- sition. If you move the selector lever to the
“P” (PARK) position before applying the parking brake, it may be difficult to disen-
gage the selector lever from the “P” (PARK) position when next you drive the vehicle, re-
quiring application of a strong force to the selector lever to move from the “P” (PARK)
position.

The engine sounds slightly different fromusual while the learning process is taking
place. The change in the engine sound does
not indicate a fault.Diesel particulate filter
(DPF)* E00619801330
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 10-05.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.
l The engine sounds slightly different than
usual while the DPF automatically burns
away trapped PM. The change in the engine
sound does not indicate a fault.DPF warning displayType 1
Type 2
The DPF warning display illuminates in the
event of an abnormality in the DPF system.
If the DPF warning display il-luminates during vehicle oper-ation
Steady illumination of the DPF warning dis- play shows that the DPF has not been able to
burn away all of the trapped PM and that, as
a result, an excessive amount of PM has ac- cumulated inside it. To enable the DPF toburn away the PM, try to drive the vehicle as
follows:

lWith the bar graph of engine coolant
temperature display stabilized in roughly
the middle of the scale, drive for about 20 minutes at a speed of at least 40 km/h
(25 mph).
[Diesel-powered 1600 models] l As soon as traffic conditions allow, re-
generate the filter by driving at a speed
of over 60 km/h (37 mph) until the warning display goes out.
If the DPF warning display subsequently stays on, contact a 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 display and

2.Release the clutch pedal. The “” dis-
play/indicator will turn on and the en- gine will stop automatically.Type 1Type 2
NOTEl When the engine is automatically stopped,
changes will occur in the driving operations.
Pay closel attention to the following.
• The brake booster becomes inoperative
and the pedal effort will increase. If the
vehicle is moving, press down the brake pedal harder than usual.
• The electric power steering system (EPS)
becomes inoperative and it will become
harder to turn the steering wheel.CAUTIONl Observe the following precautions when the
engine is stopped automatically. Otherwise,
an unexpected accident might occur when the engine restarts automatically.
• Do not depress the accelerator pedal to
race the engine while the vehicle is stop-
ped (regardless of whether the engine is running or stopped).
Otherwise, an unexpected accident might
occur when the engine restarts automati- cally.
• When the engine is automatically stopped,
do not attempt to exit the vehicle.
Because the engine restarts automatically when the driver’s seat belt is unfastened
or the driver’s door is opened, an unex- pected accident might occur when the ve-
hicle starts moving.
• Do not move the gearshift lever to a posi-
tion other than the “N” (Neutral) position.
If the gearshift lever is moved to a posi-
tion other than the “N” (Neutral) position,
the “
” display/indicator blinks and the
buzzer sounds.
If the gearshift lever is returned to the “N”
(Neutral) position, the display/indicator
stops blinking and the buzzer stops sound- ing. The engine will not restart if the gear-
shift lever is in a position other than the “N” (Neutral) position.
NOTEl In the following cases, the Auto Stop & Go
(AS&G) system will not operate and the en- gine will not stop automatically even if thevehicle is stopped.
• Driver’s seat belt is not fastened.
• Driver’s door is open.
• Bonnet is open.
• After the engine restarts automatically,
the vehicle speed has not exceeded ap-
proximately 5 km/h (3 mph).
• Brake booster vacuum pressure is low be-
cause the brake pedal is depressed repeat- edly or depressed harder than usual.
• After the engine starts, approximately 30
seconds or more have not elapsed.
• After the engine restarts automatically
and the vehicle stops again within 10 sec-onds.
• Engine coolant temperature is low.
• Ambient temperature is low.
• Air conditioning is operating and passen-
ger compartment has not sufficiently
cooled.

Selector lever positions
E00603801957
“P” PARK
This position locks the transmission to pre- vent the vehicle from moving. The engine
can be started in this position.
“R” REVERSE
This position is to back up.
CAUTIONl Never shift into the “P” (PARK) or “R”
(REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in motion to avoid transmission damage.
“N” NEUTRAL
At this position the transmission is disengag-
ed. It is the same as the neutral position on amanual transmission, and should only be used when the vehicle is stationary for an ex-
tended length of time during driving, such as
in a traffic jam.
WARNINGl Never move the selector lever to the “N”
(Neutral) position while driving. A seriousaccident could occur since you could acci-dentally move the lever into the “P”(Park) or “R” (Reverse) position or you
will lose engine braking.
l On a gradient the engine should be star-
ted in the “P” (Park) position, not in the
“N” (Neutral) position.
l To prevent rolling, always keep your foot
on the brake pedal when the vehicle is in
“N” (Neutral) position, or when shifting into or out of “N” (Neutral) position.
“D” DRIVE
This position is used for most city and high-
way driving. The transmission will automati-
cally change its gear depending on road and driving conditions.
CAUTIONl To prevent transmission damage, never shift
into the “D” (Drive) position from the “R”(Reverse) position while the vehicle is in motion.
“L” LOW
This position is for driving up very steep hills
and for engine braking at low speeds when
driving down steep hills.
