The CVT will automati
cally and continuously
change its gear ratio depending on road anddriving conditions. This helps achievesmooth driving and excellent fuel efficiency.If your vehicle is equipped with the spor-tronic steering wheel paddle shifter, you canmanually shift up and shift down the trans-mission. Refer to “Sports mode” on page5-80.The transmission prevents unnecessaryupshifts even when the accelerator pedal isreleased and ensures smooth driving.According to the condi
tions, the transmission
will automatically shift to a lower gear ratioto achieve stronger engine braking. This mayhelp reduce your need
to use the service
brake.
N00560301090
As an additional safe
ty precaution, models
equipped with a continuously variable trans-mission have a shift-lock device that holdsthe selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position.To move the selector lever from the “P”the steps below.1. Press and hold the brake pedal down.2. Move the selector lever to the desiredposition.
The CVT selects an optimum ratio automati-cally when the selector lever is in the “D”
nding on the speed of
the vehicle and the positi
on of the accelerator
pedal.

tronic steering wheel
paddle shifter is moved to the “+(SHIFTUP)” position at cert
ain vehicle speeds.
Also, to prevent over-revving of the engine,the transmission may refuse to perform adownshift when the sportronic steeringwheel paddle shifter is moved to the “

This indicator is a pa
rt of the onboard diag-
nostic (OBD) system which monitors theemissions, engine control system or auto-matic transaxle control system/continuouslyvariable transmission (CVT) control system.If a problem is detected in one of these sys-tems, this indicator illuminates or flashes.When the ignition switch is turned to the“ON” position or the ope
ration mode is put in
ON, this indicator
normally comes on and
goes off after the engine has started.
This indicator will come on if the fuel tankfiller cap is not properly tightened. If thisindicator comes on and stays on after refuel-ing, stop the engine and check that the cap isproperly tightened. (Turn the cap clockwiseuntil you hear clicking sounds.)If this indicator does not go off after severalseconds or lights up while driving, have thesystem checked as soon as possible at anauthorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or arepair facility of your choice.

CAUTIONWhen the warning light remains on or doesnot come on, there is the possibility that theparking brake cannot
be operated or
released. Immediately contact the nearestauthorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer. When
the warning light comes on during driving,immediately stop the vehi

Engine malfunction indicator (“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” or “Check engine light”)
CAUTIONDriving for a long time
with the engine mal-
function indicator on may cause more dam-age to the emission control system. Thiscould also affect fuel
economy and drivabil-
ity.If this indicator does not come on when theignition switch is turned to the “ON” posi-tion or the operation mode is put in ON, havethe system checked at an authorized Mitsubi-shi Motors dealer or a repair facility of yourchoice.
If the engine malfuncti
on indicator comes on
while the engine is running, avoid driving athigh speeds.During vehicle operation
with the indicator
on, the vehicle may not
accelerate when you
depress the accelerator pedal.When the vehicle is stat
ionary with the indi-
cator on, you must depress the brake pedalmore firmly than usual since the engineidling speed is higher than usual and a vehi-cle with an automatic transaxle or CVT has astronger tendency to creep forward.NOTE
Do not disconnect the ba
ttery cable when the
engine malfunction i
ndicator (“SERVICE
ENGINE SOON” or “Ch
eck engine light”) is
on.The engine electronic
control module stores
critical OBD informati
on (especially exhaust
emission data), which ma
y be lost if the bat-
tery cable is disconne
cted while the engine
malfunction indicator is
on. This will make it
difficult to diagnose th
e cause of future prob-
lems.
