The CVT will automatically and continuously change its gear ratio depending on road anddriving conditions. This helps achieve smooth driving and excellent fuel efficiency. If your vehicle is equipped with the spor-tronic steering wheel paddle shifter, you can manually shift the transmission up and down. Refer to “Sports mode” on page 5-63. The transmission prevents unnecessary upshifts even when the accelerator pedal is released and ensures smooth driving. According to the condi
tions, the transmission
will automatically shift to a lower gear ratioto achieve stronger engine braking. This may help reduce your need to use the service brake.
N00560301104
As an additional safe
ty precaution, models
equipped with a CVT have a shift-lock devicethat holds the selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position. To move the selector lever from the “P” (PARK) position to anotherposition, follow the steps below. 1. Press and hold the brake pedal down. 2. Press and hold the lock button. 3. Move the selector lever to the desired position.
The CVT selects an optimum ratio automati- cally when the selector lever is in the “D” (DRIVE) position, depending on the speed of the vehicle and the position of the acceleratorpedal. The selector lever (A) has two gates; the main gate (B) and sports mode gate (C).
Turbocharger operation
CAUTION Do not run the engine at high speeds (for example, by revving it or by acceleratingrapidly) immediately after starting it. Do not stop the engine immediately after high-speed or uphill driving. First allow the engine to idle to give the turbocharger a chance to cool down. Replace the engine oil at the specified inter- vals. If the engine oil is not replaced, the tur-bocharger could malfunction.

Whether the vehicle is stationary or inmotion, sports mode is selected by gently pushing the selector lever from the “D”(DRIVE) position into sports mode gate (A). To return to “D” (DRIVE) operation, gently push the selector lever back into the maingate (B).
In sports mode, gear shifts can be made rap- idly simply by moving the selector lever backward and forward or using the sportronic steering wheel paddle sh
ifter at the steering
wheel (for vehicles equipped with the spor- tronic steering wheel paddle shifter). In con- trast to a M/T, the sports mode allows gearshifts with the accelerator pedal depressed.
CAUTION Never shift into the “P” (PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in motion. If the lever is shifted into the “P” (PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in motion, the transmissionmay be damaged.
“N” NEUTRAL
WA R N I N G Never move the selector lever to the “N” (NEUTRAL) position while driving since you could accidentally slip it into the “P” (PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position,damaging the transmission. To prevent the vehicle from rolling when stopped on a slope, the engine should be started in the “P” (PARK) position, not in“N” (NEUTRAL) position.
 To prevent rolling, always keep your foot on the brake pedal when the vehicle is in “N” (NEUTRAL) position, or when shift- ing into or out of “N” (NEUTRAL) posi- tion.
“D” DRIVE
CAUTION To prevent transmission damage, never shift into the “D” (DRIVE) position from the “R”(REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in motion.

(SHIFT UP) Transmission shifts up once by eachoperation.
2-
(SHIFT DOWN) Transmission shifts down once by eachoperation.CAUTION In sports mode, the
driver must execute
upward shifts in accordance with prevailing road conditions, taking care to keep the engine speed below the tachometer’s redzone. Repeated continuous operation of the selec- tor lever or the sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter will continuously switch shift position. Shift ranges may not change when the lateral paddle shifters are operated at the same time.
NOTE
 Shift ranges can only be selected in a for- ward direction from 1st to 8th. To reverse or park the vehicle, move the selector lever to the “R” (REVERSE) or “P” (PARK) posi- tion.  To maintain good running performance, the transmission may refuse to perform anupshift when the selector lever or the spor- tronic steering wheel paddle shifter on the “ (SHIFT UP)” side is pulled at certain vehicle speeds. Also, to prevent over-revving of the engine, the transmission may refuse toperform a downshift when the selector lever or the sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter on the “ (SHIFT DOWN)” side is pulled at certain vehicle speeds. When this happens, a buzzer sounds to indicate that a downshift is not going to take place.  Downward shifts are made automatically when the vehicle slows down. Before the vehicle stops, 1st gear is automatically selected.  The upward shift may be made automatically in sports mode when the engine speed risesand approaches the tachometer’s red zone.

Operation of the CVT
CAUTION Before selecting a position with the engine running and the vehicle stationary, firmlydepress the brake pedal to prevent the vehi- cle from creeping. The vehicle will begin to move as soon as theCVT is engaged, especially when the engine speed or idle speed is high, or with the air conditioning operating.Do not release the brake pedal until you are ready to drive away. Depress the brake pedal
with the right foot at
all times. Using the left foot could cause driver move-ment delay in case of an emergency. To prevent sudden acceleration, never run the engine at high revolutions when shifting from the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL).

S-AWC (Super-All Wheel Control) (if so equipped) 5-66 Features and controls
5
N00541301091
S-AWC is an integrated vehicle dynamics control system that helps enhance driving performance, cornering performance, and vehicle stability over a wide range of drivingconditions through integrated management of the electronically controlled 4WD, the AYC (Active Yaw Control), the ABS and the ASC. The electronically controlled 4WD is a sys- tem that improves acceleration performance and stability performance by controllingfront-rear distribution of driving torque with
operating the electronic control coupling arranged in the rear differential assembly. The AYC is a system with a yaw control function, that controls the left-right driv- ing/braking force using the brakes. The yaw control function is a function that enhances vehicle cornering performance and vehicle stability with management of vehicleturning power (yaw moment) by controlling the drive power difference of the left and right wheels and the braking force when thevehicle does not turn in response to steering input, such as when the steering wheel is turned quickly or when driving on slipperyroad.
N00542401099
Select the drive mode from the followingthree types to suit the driving conditions.
S-AWC (Super-All Wheel Control)
(if so equipped)
CAUTION Do not over-rely on the S-AWC. Even the S- AWC cannot prevent the natural laws ofphysics from acting on the vehicle. This sys- tem, like any other system, has limits and cannot help you to maintain traction and con-trol of the vehicle in all circumstances. Reck- less driving can lead to accidents. It is the driver’s responsibility to drive carefully.This means taking into account the traffic, road and environmental conditions.
Electronically Controlled 4WD

NOTE
 On vehicles equipped with lever type park- ing brake, if the parking brake lever is pulled up while the vehicle is moving, the front-reardistribution of driving torque control will be temporarily suspended, which will allow the rear wheel to lock easier.
Active Yaw Control (AYC)

Yaw control function

CAUTION Control of the braking force does not enhance the stopping performance of the vehicle, therefore, pay careful attention to the safety of your surroundings when driv- ing.

Your vehicle has been designed primarily for use on pavement. But its unique 4-wheel drive system allowsyou to occasionally travel on unpaved roads, to campgrounds, picnic sites, and similar locations.Not only does this ensure better handling on dry, paved roads but also permits better trac- tion when driving on slippery, wet or snow-covered roads and when moving out of mud. But it is not suitable for heavy off road use or towing in rough conditions.It is particularly important to note that 4- wheel drive may not give sufficient hill
climbing ability and engine braking on steep slopes. You should try to avoid driving on steep slopes. Also, you must exercise caution when drivingon sand and mud and when driving through water because sufficient traction may not be available in certain circumstances.Please avoid driving the vehicle through areas where the tires may get stuck in deep sand or mud.

When turning a sharp corner in “GRAVEL” position at low speed, a slight difference in steering may be experienced similar to feel- ing as if the brakes were applied. This iscalled tight corner braking and results from each of the four tires being at a different dis- tance from the corner. The phenomenon istypical of 4-wheel drive vehicles. If this occurs, either straighten out the steering wheel or change to another mode. Set the drive mode-selector to “SNOW” in accordance with the road conditions, and thengradually depress the accelerator pedal for a smooth start.
Set the drive mode-selector to “GRAVEL” and then gradually depress the accelerator pedal for a smooth start. Keep the pressure onthe accelerator pedal as constant as possible, and drive at low speed.
NOTE
 Driving on rough roads can be hard on a vehicle. Before you leave the pavement, be sure all scheduled maintenance and service has been done, and that you have inspected your vehicle. Pay special attention to thecondition of the tires, and check the tire pres- sures.  Mitsubishi Motors is not responsible to the operator for any damage or injury caused or liability incurred by improper and negligentoperation of a vehicle. All techniques of vehicle operation depend on the skill and experience of the operator and other partici-pating parties. Any deviation from the rec- ommended operating instructions above is at their own risk.  Note that the stopping distance required of the 4-wheel drive vehicle differs very littlefrom that of the front-wheel drive vehicle. When driving on a snow-covered road or a slippery, muddy surface, make sure that youkeep a sufficient distance between your vehi- cle and the one ahead of you.  The driving posture should be more upright; adjust the seat to a good position for easy steering and pedal operation. Be sure to wearthe seat belt.  After driving on rough roads, check each part of the vehicle and wash it thoroughly with water. Refer to the “Inspection andmaintenance following rough road opera- tion” section and “Vehicle care and Mainte- nance” sections.
CAUTION Setting the drive mode-selector to “GRAVEL” and “SNOW” position to drive on dry paved road will increase fuel con- sumption, with possible noise and vibration generation.
Turning sharp corners On snowy or icy roads
NOTE
 The use of snow tires is recommended.
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, avoid sudden braking, and use engine brak- ing (downshifting).CAUTION Avoid sudden braking, sudden acceleration and sharp turning. Skidding occurs and con- trol of the vehicle could be lost.
Driving on sandy or muddy roads
CAUTION Do not force the vehicle or drive recklessly on sandy surfaces. In comparison with nor- mal road surfaces, the engine and other drive-system components are put underexcessive strain when driving on such a sur- face. This could lead to accidents. If any of the following conditions occur while the vehicle is being driven, immedi- ately park your vehicle in a safe place andfollow these procedures:NOTE

After operating the vehicle in rough road con- ditions, be sure to perform the following inspection and maintenance procedures:  Check that the vehicle has not been dam- aged by rocks, gravel, etc.
• If the engine coolant temperature display
flashes on the information screen in the multi-information display or the engine power drops suddenly.Refer to “Engine overheating” on page 8-4.• If the “ ” warning display and “SLOW DOWN” or the “ ” warning display and “SERVICE REQUIRED” appear on the information screen in the multi-information display.Refer to “Warning display” on page 5-62.WA R N I N G When attempting to rock your vehicle out of a stuck position, be sure that the area around the vehicle is clear of people andphysical objects. The rocking motion may cause the vehicle to suddenly launch for- ward/backward, causing injury or dam-age to nearby people or objects.NOTE
 Avoid sudden braking, sudden acceleration and sharp turning; such operations could result in the vehicle becoming stuck.CAUTION
 If the vehicle becomes stuck in sandy or muddy roads, it can often be moved with a rocking motion. Move the selector lever alternately between the “D” (DRIVE) and “R” (REVERSE) positions while pressinglightly on the accelerator pedal.  Driving on rough road can cause rust on the vehicle; wash the vehicle thoroughly as soon as possible after such use.
Climbing/descending sharp grades Driving through water
NOTE
CAUTION Never drive through water that is deep enough to cover wheel hubs, axles or exhaust pipe. Do not change the selector lever posi-tion while driving through water. Frequent driving through water can adversely affect the life span of the vehicle;consult an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice and take the necessary measures to prepare,inspect, and repair the vehicle. After driving through water, apply the brakes to be sure they are functioning properly. If the brakes are wet and not functioning prop- erly, dry them out by driving slowly whilelightly depressing the brake pedal. Inspect each part of the vehicle carefully.
