To gain extra acceleration in “D” (DRIVE) position (when passing another vehicle) push the accelerator to the floor. The automatictransaxle will automatically downshift.
NOTE
 While driving in sports mode, the sports mode display may change to show “D” andshifting in sports mode may no longer be possible. This indicates that controls to drive in the“D” position are operati
ng normally in order
to lower the temperature of the automatic transaxle fluid; it doe
s not indicate a mal-
function. Once the temperature of the auto- matic transaxle fluid drops, shifting in the sports mode will be possible again.Type 1 Type 2
Operation of the automatic transaxle

CAUTION Before selecting a gear
with the engine run-
ning and the vehicle
stationary, firmly
depress the brake pedal to prevent the vehi-cle from creeping. The vehicle will begin to
move as soon as the
gear is engaged, espe
cially when the engine
speed or idle speed is
high, or with the air
conditioning operating. Do not release the brake pedal until you areready to drive away. Depress the brake pedal with the right foot at all times. Using the left foot c
ould cause driver move-
ment delay in case of an emergency. To prevent sudden acceleration, never run the engine at high rpms when shifting fromthe “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL). Operating the accelerator pedal while the other foot is resting
on the brake pedal will
affect braking efficien
cy 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), “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 transaxle. 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.
Passing acceleration

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

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.

For a safer and more enjoyable trip, always check for the following:  Before starting the vehicle, make certain that you and all passengers are seated andwearing their seat
belts properly (with
children in the rear seat, in appropriate restraints), and that all the doors and theliftgate are locked.
 Move the driver’s seat as far backward as possible, while keeping good visibility,and good control of the steering wheel, brakes, accelerator, and controls. Check the instrument panel indicators and multi-information display
for any possible prob-
lem.  Similarly, the front
passenger seat should
also be moved as fa
r back as possible.
 Make sure that infants and small children are properly restrained in accordance with all laws and
regulations.
Check these by selecting the defroster mode, and set the blower swit
ch on high. You should
be able to feel the air blowing against thewindshield. Refer to “Defrosti
ng or defogging (wind-
shield, door windows)” on page 7-12 Check all the tires for heavy tread wear or uneven wear patterns. Look for stones, nails,glass, or other objects
stuck in the tread. Look
for any tread cuts or
sidewall cracks. Check
the wheel nuts for tightness, and the tires(including spare tire) for proper pressure.
Replace your tires before they are heavily worn out.As your vehicle is equi
pped with a tire pres-
sure monitoring system, there is a risk of damage to the tire inflation pressure sensorswhen the tire is replaced on the rim. Tire replacement should, onl
y, be performed by an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. Have someone watch wh
ile you turn all the
exterior lights on and off. Also check the turn signal indicators and hi
gh-beam indicators on
the instrument panel. Check the ground under the vehicle after parking overnight, for
fuel, water, oil, or
other leaks. Make sure
all the fluid levels are
correct. Also, if you
can smell fuel, you need
to find out why imme
diately and have it
fixed.
