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.

The electronically controlled 4WD system helps improve accelera
tion and vehicle stabil-
ity by controlling the fr
ont-rear distribution of
driving torque using
the electronic control
coupling in the rear differential assembly.
Select the drive mode from the following three types to suit the driving conditions. 4-wheel drive operation requires special driv- ing skills.
Carefully read the “4-wheel drive operation” section on page 5-87 and take care to drivesafely.
N00548401062
The drive mode can be switched by pressingthe drive mode switch while the ignition is in the “ON” position or
the operation mode in
ON. If you press the switch, you can change the drive mode in the order of 4WD ECO, 4WDAUTO, 4WD LOCK, 4WD ECO.

ver position indicator
blinks while you are driving, there could be a malfunction in the automatic transmission system or CVT fluid temperature becomesabnormally high. [For vehicles equippe
d with color liquid
crystal display meter] When the warning display and “SLOW DOWN” or the wa
rning display and
“SERVICE REQUIRED” appear on the information screen in the multi-informationdisplay, there could be
a malfunction in the

Function
4WD ECO
This is most fuel efficient modeNormal operation is 2WD, but 4WD will engage in the event of wheel slip.
4WD AUTO
All driving is in 4WD and the distribution of traction torque to each wheel is automatically controlled depending on the driving conditions.
4WD LOCK
This mode is for driving in slippery conditions, such as snow covered roads or on sand. Large traction torque is dis-tributed to the rear wheels to assist in getting out of slip- pery areas.

N00938000570
The automatic transaxle should be maintained and serviced by an au
thorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice to obtain the best performance and longest life. It is impor
tant that the transaxle
fluid is kept at the correct level. The fluid level should be checked when the bar graph for the engine coolant temperature display on the multi-information displayshows the engine is wa
rmed up and the fluid
in the transaxle is heated to its normal work- ing temperature. Driving with the wrong fluidlevel will rapidly wear
out the transaxle and
destroy the fluid. 1. With the brake pedal fully depressed and the engine idling,
select each gear
momentarily, ending with the selectorlever in the “P” (PARK) position.
2. The fluid level should be at the HOT mark, but never a
bove the HOT mark
when the engine is warmed up. Add or drain fluid to get to the correct level. 3. Make certain that the dipstick cap isinstalled properly to
keep dirt and water
out of the transaxle.
Use only “Mitsubishi Motors Genuine ATF- J3” transaxle fluid to ensure optimum trans-axle performance.
Mitsubishi Motors Cor
poration does not rec-
ommend the addition of
any fluid additives to
the transaxle.
