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.

NOTE
When the warning display and “SLOWDOWN” or the warning display and“SERVICE REQUIRED” appear on theinformation screen in
the multi-information

If the ambient temperature is low, the selectorlever position display on the multi informa-tion display may blink when the selectorlever is placed in the “D” (DRIVE), “Ds”ately after the engine has been started. Thisindicates that the tran
smission requires warm-
ing up. While the display is blinking, thevehicle will not move,
because the transmis-
sion keeps disengaging until the warm up iscompleted even if the selector lever is placedin the “D”, “Ds”, “L” or “R” position.When the selector le
ver position display is
blinking, perform th
e following procedure:
1. Depress the brake pedal with your rightfoot and place the se
lector lever in the
“N” (NEUTRAL) position for severalseconds.2. Keep depressing the brake pedal and thenplace the selector lever in the “D”SPORTY DRIVING), “L” (LOW) or “R”(REVERSE) position. If the selector leverposition display stops

This position locks the transmission to pre-vent the vehicle from m
oving. The engine can
be started in the “P” (PARK) position.Move the lever to this position only after thevehicle 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 whenthe vehicle is not m
oving for an extended
length of time during driving, such as in atraffic jam.
This position is used fo
r most city and high-
way driving. The transmission will automati-cally and continuously ch
ange its gear ratio
depending on road and driving conditions.Use when engine braking is needed, or forhigh-power sport drive.
After a while, confirm that the warningdisplay is no longer show
ing. It is safe to
continue driving if the display is no longershowing. If the warning display remains,contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer or a repair facility of your choiceimmediately.[When warning di
splay is showing]
It may be that ther
e is something unusual
happening in the CVT, causing a safetydevice to activate
. Have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized MitsubishiMotors dealer or a repair facility of yourchoice immediately.
