Diesel particulate filter(DPF) E00619801457
The diesel particulate filter (DPF) is a device that 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, and try to keep high
engine speed driving as much as possible.
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 lamp
The DPF warning lamp comes on in the
event of an abnormality in the DPF system.
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 bar graph of engine coolant
temperature display stabilized in roughly
the middle of the scale, drive for approx- imately 20 minutes at a speed of at least
40 km/h (25 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 to
drive 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 by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
CAUTIONl Continuing to drive with the DPF warning
lamp flashing could result in engine trouble and DPF damage.Turbocharger operation*
E00611200083CAUTIONlDo not run the engine at high speeds (for ex-
ample, by revving it or by accelerating rap-
idly) immediately after starting it.
l Do not stop the engine immediately after
high-speed or uphill driving. First allow the
engine to idle to give the turbocharger a
chance to cool down.Turbocharger
The turbocharger increases engine power by
pushing large amounts of air into the engine’s
cylinders. The finned parts inside the turbo- charger turn at extremely high speeds and aresubjected to extremely high temperatures.
They are lubricated and cooled by engine oil.
If the engine oil is not replaced at the speci- fied intervals, the bearings may seize or emit
abnormal noise.

Auto Stop & Go (AS&G)
system* E00627401104
The Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system auto- matically stops and restarts the engine with- out operating the ignition switch or engineswitch when the vehicle is stopped, such as at
a traffic light or in a traffic jam, to reduce ex- haust gases, increase fuel efficiency.CAUTIONl If the vehicle will be stopped for a long time
or if you will leave the vehicle unattended,
stop the engine.NOTEl The accumulated time the engine has been
stopped by the AS&G system is displayed in
the multi information display. Refer to “Au-
to Stop & Go monitor” on page 5-05.Automatically stopping the en-
gine
E00627501352
The AS&G system is automatically activated when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position or the operation mode is put in
ON.
You can deactivate the system by pressing the “AS&G OFF” switch.

When the AS&G system will operate, the in-
dication lamp will turn on to inform the driv- er.
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. While depressing the brake pedal, fully
depress the clutch pedal and place the
gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral) posi-
tion.
3. Release the clutch pedal. The engine will
stop automatically.NOTEl When the engine is automatically stopped,
changes will occur in the driving operations.
Pay close 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.CAUTIONl Observe the following precautions when the
engine is stopped automatically. Otherwise,
an unexpected accident might occur when the engine restarts automatically.CAUTION• 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 driv-
er’s door is opened, an unexpected acci-
dent might occur when the vehicle 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 indication lamp/indicator displayblinks and the buzzer sounds.
If the gearshift lever is returned to the “N” (Neutral) position, the indication lamp
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 “AS&G” indica-
tion lamp will blink to inform the driver and
the engine will not stop automatically.
• Driver’s seat belt is not fastened.

Selector lever positions
E00603801843
“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 se- rious accident could occur since you could
accidentally 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 shift- ing into or out of “N” (NEUTRAL) posi-
tion.

“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.Sport mode
E00603902681
Whether the vehicle is stationary or in mo-
tion, sports mode is selected by gently push-ing the selector lever from the “D” (DRIVE)
position into the manual gate (A).
To return to “D” range operation, gently push
the selector lever back into the main gate (B).
In sports mode, gear shifts can be made rap- idly simply by moving the selector leverbackward and forward. For vehicles equippedwith the shift paddles, shift paddles at the
steering wheel can also be used to perform
gearshift. In contrast to a manual transmis-
sion, the sports mode allows gear shifts with the accelerator pedal depressed.
NOTEl If your vehicle is equipped with shift pad-
dles, you can shift into sports mode with
shift paddles when the selector lever is in the main gate as well. Also, you can return to
the “D” range operation in any of following ways.
When returning to “D” range operation, the selector lever position display will change to
“D” (DRIVE) position.
• Pull the + (SHIFT UP) side shift paddle
forward (towards the driver) for over 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 UP)
The transmission shifts up by one gear with
each operation.
- (SHIFT DOWN)
The transmission shifts down by one gear
with each operation.
CAUTIONl In sports mode, the driver must execute up-
ward shifts in accordance with prevailing road conditions, taking care to keep the en-
gine speed below the red zone.
l Repeated continuous operation of the selec-
tor lever or the shift paddles will continuous-ly switch shift position.
l For vehicles equipped with the shift paddles,
do not use the left- and right-hand shift pad- dles at the same time. Doing so could cause
a shift of gear ratio that you do not expect.NOTEl Only the 5 forward gears can be selected. To
reverse or park the vehicle, move the selec-
tor lever to the “R” (Reverse) or “P” (Park)
position as required.
