transaxle, causing a
safety device to activa
te. Have your vehicle
checked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer or a repair facility of your choiceimmediately.

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.

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

After operating the vehicle in rough road con-ditions, be sure to perform the followinginspection and maintenance procedures:Check that the vehicle has not been dam-aged by rocks, gravel, etc.Carefully wash the
vehicle with water.
Drive the vehicle slowly while lightlydepressing the brake pedal in order to dryout the brakes. If the brakes still do notfunction properly, contact an authorizedMitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facil-ity of your choice as
soon as possible to
have the brakes checked.Remove the inse
cts, dried grass, etc. clog-
ging the radiator core.After driving through water, check theengine, transaxle and
differential oil. If
the oil or grease is milky or cloudybecause of water c
ontamination, it must
be replaced with new oil.Check the inside of the vehicle. If waterentry is found, dry the carpet etc.Inspect the headlights. If water is in theheadlight housing, have
it drained at an
authorized Mitsubishi

N00530801214
Since the driving torque can be applied to thefour wheels, the driving performance of thevehicle when operating in 4-wheel drive isgreatly affected by the condition of the tires.
Pay close attention to the tires.Install only the specified tires on allwheels. Refer to “Tires and wheels” onpage 11-7.Be sure all four tire
s and wheels are the
same size
and type.
When it is necessary to replace any of thetires or wheels, replace all four.All tires should be rotated before the weardifference between the
front and rear tires
is recognizable.
Good vehicle performance cannot beexpected if there is a difference in wearbetween tires. Refer to “Tire rotation” onpage 9-20.Check the tire inflati
on pressure regularly.
CAUTIONNever drive through water that is deepenough to cover wheel hubs, axles or exhaustpipe. Do not change th
e selector lever posi-
tion while driving through water.Frequent driving through water canadversely affect the life
span of the vehicle;
consult an authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer or a repair faci
lity of your choice and
take the necessary measures to prepare,inspect, and repair the vehicle.After driving through wa
ter, apply the brakes
to be sure they are functioning properly. Ifthe brakes are wet and not functioning prop-erly, dry them out by
driving slowly while
lightly depressing the
brake pedal. Inspect
each part of the vehicle carefully.

Cautions on the handling of 4-wheel drive vehicles Tires and wheels
CAUTIONAlways use tires of th
e same size, type, and
brand that have no wear differences. Usingtires of different size,
type, brands or degree
of wear, will increase the differential oil tem-perature and result in
possible damage to the
driving system. Further, the drive train willbe subject to excessi
ve loading, possibly
leading to oil leakage, component seizure, orother serious failures.

The Active stability
control (ASC) takes
overall control of the
anti-lock braking sys-
tem, traction control function and skid controlfunction to help maintain the vehicle’s control
and traction. Please read

On slippery surfaces, the traction controlfunction prevents the drive wheels from spin-ning excessive, thus helping the vehicle tostart moving from a stopp
ed condition.
It also
provides sufficient driv
ing force and steering
performance as the vehicle turns while press-ing the acceleration pedal.
CAUTIONIf the warning display appears while theengine is running, have
the vehicle inspected
by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer ora repair facility of
your choice as soon as
possible. It may become harder to turn thesteering wheel.
Active stability control (ASC)
CAUTIONDo not over-rely on the ASC. Even the ASCcannot prevent the natural laws of physicsfrom acting on the vehicle. This system, likeany other system, has
limits and cannot help
you to maintain traction and control of thevehicle in all circumstances. Reckless driv-ing can lead to accident
s. It is the driver’s
responsibillty to drive carefully, This meanstaking into account the traffic, road and envi-ronmental conditions.Be sure to use the same specified type andsize of tire on all four
wheels. Otherwise, the
ASC may not work properly.Do not install any aftermarket limited slipdifferential (LSD) on your vehicle. The ASCmay stop functioning properly.
NOTE
An operation noise may be emitted from theengine compartment in the following situa-tions. The sound is associated with checkingthe operations of the ASC. At this time, youmay feel a shock from the brake pedal if youdepress it. These do not indicate a malfunc-tion.• When the ignition switc
h is set to the “ON”
• When the vehicle is driven for a while afterthe engine is turned on.
When the ASC is acti
vated, you may feel a
vibration in the vehicl
e body or hear a whin-
ing sound from the engine compartment.This indicates that th
e system is operating
normally. It does not i
ndicate a malfunction.
