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.

CAUTION If a malfunction occurs in the CVT while driving, the indicator will blink.In this case, immediat
ely park your vehicle
in a safe place and follow these procedures: [If the indicator blinks
rapidly (once per sec-
ond), the CVT fluid is overheating.]Park your vehicle in
a safe place but do not
turn off the engine. M
ove the selector lever

“P” (PARK) position
and confirm that the in
dicator stops blinking.
It is safe to continue driving if the indicator no longer blinks.If the indicator conti
nues blinking, contact
an authorized Mitsubish

This position locks the transmission to pre-vent the vehicle from m
oving. 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 transmission is disen- gaged. It is the same
as the neutral position on
a manual transaxle and should be used whenthe vehicle is not m
oving for an extended
length of time during driving, such as in a traffic jam.
CAUTION If a malfunction occurs in the CVT while driving, the warning display or the warning display will
appear on the informa-
tion screen in the multi-information display. In this case, follow these procedures: [When warning display is showing] The continuously variable transmission (CVT) fluid is overhea
ting. The engine con-
trol may activate to lower the CVT fluid tem-perature, causing the e
ngine revolutions and
vehicle speed to decrease, In this case, take one of the following procedures.• Slow down your vehicle.• Stop your vehicle in a
safe place, put the
selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position, and open the engine hood with the enginerunning to allow the engine to cool down.
After a while, confirm that the warning display is no longer show
ing. It is safe to
continue driving if the display is no longer showing. If the warning display remains, contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer or a repair facility of your choice immediately. [When warning di
splay is showing]
It may be that ther
e is something unusual
happening in the CVT, causing a safetydevice to activate
. Have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of yourchoice immediately.

CAUTION
CAUTION Never shift into the “P” (PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position while the vehicle is inmotion. If the lever is shifted into the “P”(PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in motion, the transmission may be damaged.
“N” NEUTRAL

WA R N I N G Never move the selector lever to the “N” (NEUTRAL) position while driving since you could accidentally
slip it into the “P”
(PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position, damaging the transmission. To prevent the vehicle from rolling when stopped on a slope,
the engine should be
started in the “P” (P
ARK) position, not in
“N” (NEUTRAL) position.

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.
NOTE
 [For vehicles equipped with mono-color liq- uid crystal display meter]When the selector le
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

rning display and
“SERVICE REQUIRED” appear on the information screen in the multi-informationdisplay, there could be
a malfunction in the
CVT. Refer to “Continuously variable trans- mission (CVT): Warning display” on page5-77.

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.

CAUTION Do not operate the dr
ive mode-selector with
the front wheels spinning on a snowy road or in similar conditions
. The vehicle could
lunge in an unexpected direction.

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.
