N00514201425
This position locks the transaxle to prevent the vehicle from moving.
The engine can be
started in the “P” (PARK) position. Move the lever to this position only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop. At this position, the transaxle is disengaged. It is the same as th
e neutral position on a
manual transaxle and should be used when the vehicle is not moving for an extended length of time during driving, such as in atraffic jam.
This position is used for most city and high- way driving. The transaxle will automatically change its gear depe
nding on road and driv-
ing conditions.
This position is for dr
iving up very steep hills
and for engine braking at low speeds when driving down steep hills.
N00514401485
While the vehicle is stopped or being drivenwith the selector lever in the “D” (DRIVE) or “L” (LOW) position, sports mode can be selected by pulling one of the sportronicsteering wheel paddle shifter towards you. In sports mode, rapid shifting is possible sim- ply by operating the spor
tronic steering wheel
paddle shifter. Unlike the manual transaxle, sports mode allows shifting with the accelerator pedaldepressed.

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 whilethe vehicle is in moti
on, the transaxle may be
damaged.
“N” NEUTRAL

WA R N I N G Never move the selector lever to the “N” (NEUTRAL) position while driving sinceyou could accidentally slip it into the “P”(PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position, damaging the transaxle. 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) positi
on, or when shift-
ing into or out of
“N” (NEUTRAL) posi-
tion.
“D” DRIVE

CAUTION To prevent transaxle damage, never shift into the “D” (DRIVE) position from the “R” (REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in motion.
“L” LOW

WA R N I N G This position can be used for maximum engine braking. Be very careful not to shift into “L” (LOW) suddenly.Sudden engine braking may cause the tires to skid. Select this position according to the roadconditions and vehicle speed.

For short waiting periods, such as at traffic lights, the vehicle can be
left in gear and held
stationary with the service brake.For longer waiting periods with the engine running, place th
e selector lever in the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position a
nd apply the parking
brake, while holding the vehicle stationary with the service brake. Prior to moving off after having stopped the vehicle, make sure that
the selector lever is in
“D” (DRIVE) position or
Sports mode posi-
tion. To park the vehicle, first bring it to a com- plete stop, firmly apply the parking brake,
and then move the sele
ctor lever to the “P”
(PARK) position. If the transaxle does not change gears while driving, or your vehicle does not pick up enough speed when starting on an uphillslope, it may be that there is something unusual happening in the transaxle, causing a safety device to activa
te. Have your vehicle
checked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choiceimmediately.
N00560201060
The CVT will automati
cally 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 up and shift down the trans-mission. Refer to “Sports mode” on page 5-79. The transmission prevents unnecessary upshifts even when the accelerator pedal is released and ensures smooth driving. According to the conditions, 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.
Waiting

CAUTION To avoid transaxle over
heating, never try to
keep your vehicle stat
ionary on a hill by
using the accelerator
pedal. Always apply
the parking brake and/or service brake. Do not rev the engine unnecessarily while the vehicle is stationary. Unexpected acceler-ation may occur if the selector lever is in a position other than “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL).

SE) position immedi-
ately after the engine has been started. This indicates that the tran
smission requires warm-
ing up. While the display is blinking, the vehicle will not move,
because the transmis-
sion keeps disengaging until the warm up is completed even if the selector lever is placed in the “D”, “Ds”, “L” or “R” position. When the selector lever position display is blinking, perform th
e following procedure:
1. Depress the brake pedal with your right foot and place the se
lector lever in the
