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 “

N00520501814
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
cle in a safe place,
and contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer. If you inevitably have to park, parkthe vehicle on level a
nd stable ground, shift
the selector lever in “P” (PARK) positionand place chocks
or blocks.
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.

FM signals do not follow the earth surfacenor are they reflected by the upper atmo-sphere. For this reason,
FM broadcasts cannot
be received over long distances. AM signalsfollow the earth’s surface and are reflected bythe upper atmosphere. For this reason, AMbroadcasts can be received over longer dis-tances.Because of the limited
range of FM signals
and the way FM waves transmit, you mayexperience weak or
fading FM reception.
When the broadcast is
blocked by mountains
or similar obstructions,
reception can be dis-
turbed.
The reason why one can hear FM but not AMin parking garages, unde
r bridges etc., is that
FM signals, unlike AM
signals, are reflected
by solid objects such
as buildings, etc.
Because FM signals are easily reflected bybuildings, this can also
cause reception dis-
turbances.The direct signal from
the broadcast station
reaches the antenna slightly before thereflected signal. This time difference maycause some reception di
sturbance or flutter.
This problem occurs primarily in urban areas.
If one listens to a weak station and is in thevicinity of another st
rong station, both sta-
tions might be received simultaneously.Stereo reception re
quires a high quality
broadcast signal. This means that types ofdisturbances mentioned previously becomemore marked and the reception range issomewhat diminished during stereo recep-tion.

The automatic transaxl
e should be maintained
and serviced by an authorized MitsubishiMotors dealer or a repair facility of yourchoice to obtain the
best performance and
longest life. It is impor
tant that the transaxle
fluid is kept at the correct level.The fluid level should be checked when thebar graph for the engine coolant temperaturedisplay on the multi-information displayshows the engine is warmed up and the fluidin the transaxle is heated to its normal work-ing temperature. Driving with the wrong fluidlevel will rapidly wear
out the transaxle and
destroy the fluid.1. With the brake pedal fully depressed andthe engine idling,
select each gear
momentarily, ending with the selectorlever in the “P” (PARK) position.
2. The fluid level should be at the HOTmark, but never above the HOT markwhen the engine is warmed up. Add ordrain fluid to get to the correct level.3. Make certain that the dipstick cap isinstalled properly to keep dirt and waterout of the transaxle.
Use only “Mitsubishi Motors Genuine ATF-J3” transaxle fluid to
ensure optimum trans-
axle performance.
Mitsubishi Motors Corp
oration does not rec-
ommend the addition of
any fluid additives to
the transaxle.
