We recommend you to consult a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point.Manual transmission*
The shift pattern is shown on the gearshift lever knob. Press the clutch pedal all the waydown while shifting gears. To start off, de-
press the clutch pedal all the way down and
shift into the 1 st
or “R” (Reverse) position,
operating the gearshift lever slowly.
Then gradually release the clutch pedal while depressing the accelerator pedal.
CAUT,ONz Do not put the gearshift lever into the re-
verse position while the vehicle is moving forward. Doing so could damage the trans-mission.CAUT,ONz Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal
while driving as this will cause premature
clutch wear or damage.
z Do not coast in the “N” (Neutral) position.
z Do not use the gearshift lever as a hand rest,
because this can result in premature wear of
the transmission shift forks.NOTEz During cold weather, shifting may be diffi-
cult until the transmission lubricant has
warmed up. This is normal and not harmful
to the transmission.
z If it is hard to shift into 1 st
, depress the
clutch pedal again; the shift will then be eas- ier to make.
z The gearshift indicator (if so equipped)
shows recommended gearshift points for
fuel-efficient driving. It shows a “
” when
an upshift is recommended, and it shows a
“
” when a downshift is recommended.
Moving the gearshift lever to
the “R” (Reverse) position

Automatic transmission
INVECS-III 6CVT
(Intelligent Innovative
Vehicle Electronic Control System III)*
The CVT will automatically and continuous- ly change its gear ratio depending on road
and driving conditions. This helps achieve
smooth driving and excellent fuel efficiency.
If your vehicle is equipped with shift paddles, you can manually shift up and shift down the
transmission. Refer to “Sports mode” on page 6-23.Selector lever operation
The CVT selects an optimum gear ratio auto-
matically, depending on the speed of the ve- hicle and the position of the accelerator ped-
al.
For vehicles equipped without shift paddlesFor vehicles equipped with shift paddlesWhile depressing the brake pedal,
move the selector lever through
the gate.

When the selector lever positiondisplay blinks
:ARN,NGz To avoid unintended vehicle movement,
keep the brake pedal applied with your
right foot and do not depress the accelera- tor pedal, while the selector lever position
display is blinking.If the ambient temperature is low, the selector
lever position display on the multi-informa- tion display may blink when the selector lev-er is placed in the “D” (DRIVE), “Ds”
(DOWNSHIFT & SPORTY DRIVING), “L”
(LOW) or “R” (REVERSE) position immedi- ately after the engine has been started. This
indicates that the transmission requires
warming up.
While the display is blinking, the vehicle will
not move, because the transmission keeps disengaging until the warm up is completedeven if the selector lever is placed in the “D”,
“Ds”, “L” or “R” position.
When the selector lever position display is blinking, perform the following procedure: 1. Depress the brake pedal with your right
foot and place the selector lever in the
“N” (NEUTRAL) position for several seconds.
2. Keep depressing the brake pedal and
then place the selector lever in the “D”
(DRIVE), “Ds” (DOWNSHIFT & SPORTY DRIVING), “L” (LOW) or “R” (REVERSE) position. If the selector
lever position display stops blinking, the
warm-up is completed and the transmis-
sion will function normally.
3. If the display is still blinking, repeat
steps 1 and 2 above.
