N00560601110
This position locks the transmission to pre- vent the vehicle from moving. The engine canbe 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 when the vehicle is not moving for an extendedlength of time during driving, such as in a traffic jam.
This position is used for most city and high- way driving. The transmission will automati- cally and continuously change its gear ratiodepending on road and driving conditions.
CAUTION If a malfunction occurs in the CVT while driving, the warning display or the warning display will appear on the informa- tion screen in the multi-information display. In this case, follow these procedures: [When warning display is showing] The CVT fluid is overheating. The engine control may activate to lower the CVT fluid temperature, causing the engine revolutionsand vehicle speed to decrease, In this case, take one of the following procedures.• Slow down your vehicle.• Stop your vehicle in a safe place, put the selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position, and open the engine hood with the engine running to allow the engine to cool down.After a while, confirm that the warning display is no longer showing. It is safe to continue driving if the display is no longer showing. If the warning display remains orflashes frequently, have your vehicle inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice. [When warning display is showing] It may be that there is something unusual happening in the CVT, causing a safetydevice to activate. Have your vehicle inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of yourchoice immediately.
Selector lever positions “P” PARK “R” REVERSE
CAUTION Never shift into the “P” (PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position while
the vehicle is in
motion. If the lever is shifted into the “P”(PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position while 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” (NEUTRAL) position while driving since you could accidentally slip it into the “P” (PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position, damaging the transmission. To prevent the vehicle from rolling when stopped on a slope, the engine should bestarted in the “P” (PARK) position, not in “N” (NEUTRAL) position. To prevent rolling, always keep your foot on the brake pedal when the vehicle is in “N” (NEUTRAL) position, or when shift-ing into or out of “N” (NEUTRAL) posi- tion.
“D” DRIVE
CAUTION To prevent transmission damage, never shift into the “D” (DRIVE) position from the “R” (REVERSE) position whil
e the vehicle is in
motion.

To return to “D” (DRIVE) operation, gentlypush the selector lever back into the main gate (B). In sports mode, gear shifts can be made rap- idly simply by moving the selector lever backward and forward or using the sportronicsteering wheel paddle shifter at the steering wheel (for vehicles equipped with the spor- tronic steering wheel paddle shifter). In con-trast to a M/T, the sports mode allows gear shifts with the accelerator pedal depressed.Sports mode
NOTE
 You can shift into sports mode with the spor- tronic steering wheel paddle shifter when theselector lever is in the main gate (B) as well. Also, you can return to the “D” (DRIVE) operation in any of following ways. When returning to “D” (DRIVE) operation, the selector lever position display willchange to “D” (DRIVE) position. • Pull the sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter on the (SHIFT UP) side for lon- ger than 2 seconds. • Stop the vehicle.
• Push the selector lever from the “D” (DRIVE) position into the manual gate (A) and push the selector lever back into the main gate (B).

(SHIFT DOWN) Transmission shifts down once by eachoperation.CAUTION Upward shifts do not take place automati- cally in sports mode. The driver must make upward shifts in accordance with prevailing road conditions, making sure the engine rev-olutions remains below the red zone on the tachometer.NOTE
 Repeated continuous operation of the selec- tor lever or the sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter will continuously switch shift position. Shift ranges may not change when the lateral paddle shifters are operated at the same time.NOTE
 Shift ranges can only be selected in a for- ward direction from 1st to 8th. To reverse orpark the vehicle, move the selector lever to the “R” (REVERSE) or “P” (PARK) posi- tion.  To maintain good running performance, the transmission may refuse to perform anupshift when the selector lever or the spor- tronic steering wheel paddle shifter on the “ (SHIFT UP)” side is pulled at certain vehicle speeds. Also, to prevent over-revving of the engine, the transmission may refuse toperform a downshift when the selector lever or the sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter on the “ (SHIFT DOWN)” side is pulled at certain vehicle speeds. When this happens, a buzzer sounds to indicate that adownshift is not going to take place.CAUTION
