In sports mode, the currently selected shift range is displayed on the information screen in the multi-information display.
N00560801082
CAUTION In sports mode, the driver must execute upward shifts in accordance with prevailingroad conditions, taking care to keep the engine speed below the tachometer’s red zone. Repeated continuous ope
ration of the spor-
tronic steering wheel pa
ddle shifter will con-
tinuously switch shift position. Shift ranges may not change when the lateral paddle shifters are opera
ted at the same time.
NOTE
Shift ranges can only be
selected in a for-
ward direction from 1st to 6th. To reverse or park the vehicle, move
the selector lever to
the “R” or “P” position.
 To maintain good running performance, the transmission may refuse to perform anupshift when the sportronic steering wheelpaddle shifter is moved to the “+(SHIFT UP)” position at cert
ain vehicle speeds.
Also, to prevent over-revving of the engine,the transmission may refuse to perform a downshift when the sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter is moved to the “
−
(SHIFT DOWN)” positi
on at certain vehicle
speeds. When this happens, a buzzer sounds to indicate that a dow
nshift 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.Also, the vehicle will automatically return to “D” (DRIVE) operation if the vehicle is stopped.  When the selector lever is in the “L” (LOW) position, the sport mode is not selected evenif you operate the sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter.  The upward shift may be made automatically in sports mode when the engine speed rises and approaches the ta
chometer’s red zone.

Operation of the CVT

CAUTIONBefore selecting a pos
ition with the engine
running and the vehicl
e stationary, firmly
depress the brake pedal to prevent the vehi- cle from creeping.The vehicle will begin to
move as soon as the
CVT is engaged, especi
ally when the engine
speed or idle speed is
high, or with the air
conditioning operating. Do not release the br
ake pedal until you are
ready to drive away.Type 1 Type 2

To gain extra acceleration in “D” (DRIVE) position (when passing an
other vehicle) push
the accelerator to the floor. The CVT willautomatically downshift. For short waiting periods, such as at traffic lights, the vehicle can be
left in selector lever
position 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 and apply the parkingbrake, while holding the vehicle stationary with the service brake. Prior to moving off after having stopped thevehicle, make sure that the selector lever is in “D” (DRIVE) position or Sports mode posi- tion.
To park the vehicle, fi
rst bring it to a com-
plete stop, firmly apply the parking brake, and then move the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position. If the CVT does not shift while driving, or your vehicle does not pick up enough speed when starting on an uphill slope, it may bethat there is something unusual happening in the transmission, causi
ng a safety device to
activate. Have your ve
hicle checked at an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice immediately.
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 acce
leration, never run
the engine at high rpms when shifting from the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL). Operating the accelerator pedal while the other foot is resting
on the brake pedal will
affect braking efficiency and may cause pre-mature wear of brake pads. Use the selector lever in the correct shift position in accordance
with driving condi-
tions. Never coast downhill backward in the driv-ing shift position {“
D” (DRIVE), “DS”
(DOWN SHIFT & SPORTY DRVING), “L” (LOW) position or sports mode} or coastforward in the “R” (REVERSE) position. Engine stopping and increased brake pedal and steering effort could
lead to an accident.
Do not rev the engine
with the brake pedal
pressed when the vehicle is stationary.This can damage the CVT. Also, when you depress
the accelerator pedal
while holding down the brake pedal with theselector lever in th
e “D” (DRIVE) position,
the engine revolutions
may not rise as high
as when performing the same operation withthe selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.CAUTION
Passing acceleration

NOTE
 In sports mode, downshi
fts do not take place
when the accelerator is depressed all the wayto the floor.
Waiting

CAUTION To avoid transmission overheating, never try to keep your vehicle stationary on a hill byusing 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 se
lector lever is in a
position other than “P” (PARK) or “N”(NEUTRAL).

N00520501814
This indicator is a pa
rt of the onboard diag-
nostic (OBD) system which monitors the emissions, 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 tank filler cap is not properly tightened. If thisindicator comes on and stays on after refuel- ing, stop the engine and check that the cap is properly tightened. (Turn the cap clockwiseuntil you hear clicking sounds.) If this indicator does not go off after several seconds or lights up while driving, have thesystem checked as soon as possible at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.

CAUTION When the warning light remains on or does not come on, there is the possibility that theparking brake cannot
be operated or
released. Immediately contact the nearest authorized 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 Motors dealer. If you inevitably have to park, parkthe vehicle on level a
nd stable ground, shift
the selector lever in “P” (PARK) position and 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. This could also affect fuel
economy and drivabil-
ity. If this indicator does not come on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” posi- tion or the operation mode is put in ON, have the system checked at an authorized Mitsubi-shi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
 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 pedal more firmly than usual since the engineidling speed is higher than usual and a vehi- cle with an automatic transaxle or CVT has a stronger 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 surface nor 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 by the upper atmosphere. For this reason, AM broadcasts can be received over longer dis-tances. Because of the limited
range of FM signals
and the way FM waves transmit, you may experience 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 AM in 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 by buildings, this can also
cause reception dis-
turbances.The direct signal from
the broadcast station
reaches the antenna slightly before the reflected signal. This time difference may cause some reception di
sturbance or flutter.
This problem occurs primarily in urban areas.
If one listens to a weak station and is in the vicinity 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 become more marked and the reception range is somewhat diminished during stereo recep-tion.
