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.

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).

If the ambient temperature is low, the selector lever position display on the multi informa-tion display may blink when the selector lever is placed in the “D” (DRIVE), “Ds” (DOWNSHIFT & SPORTY DRIVING), “L”(LOW) or “R” (REVER
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
“N” (NEUTRAL) position for severalseconds. 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 leverposition display stops
blinking, the warm
up is completed and the transmission will function normally.3. If the display is still
blinking, repeat steps
1 and 2 above.

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.

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).
