Then gradually release the clutch pedal whiledepressing the accelerator pedal.CAUT,ONz Do not put the gearshift lever into the re-
verse position while the vehicle is moving forward. Doing so could damage the trans-mission.
z Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal
while driving as this will cause premature clutch wear or damage.
z Do not coast in the “N” (Neutral) position.
z Do not use the gearshift lever as a hand rest,
because this can result in premature wear of
the transmission shift forks.NOTEz During cold weather, shifting may be diffi-
cult until the transmission lubricant has
warmed up. This is normal and not harmful
to the transmission.
z If it is hard to shift into 1 st
, depress the
clutch pedal again; the shift will then be eas- ier to make.
z The gearshift indicator (if so equipped)
shows recommended gearshift points for
fuel-efficient driving. It shows a “
”
when an upshift is recommended, and it
shows a “
” when a downshift is rec-
ommended.
Moving the gearshift lever to
the “R” (Reverse) position
To shift into the “R” (Reverse) position from
5 th
gear, move the gearshift lever to the “N”
(Neutral) position, and then move it to the “R” (Reverse) position.

Automatic transmission
INVECS-III 6CVT
(Intelligent Innovative
Vehicle Electronic Control System III)*
The CVT will automatically and continuous- ly change its gear ratio depending on road
and driving conditions. This helps achieve
smooth driving and excellent fuel efficiency.
If your vehicle is equipped with shift paddles, you can manually shift up and shift down the
transmission. Refer to “Sports mode” on page 6-26.Selector lever operation
The CVT selects an optimum gear ratio auto-
matically, depending on the speed of the ve- hicle and the position of the accelerator ped-
al.

lector lever firmly into each position and
briefly hold it there. Always check the posi- tion shown by the selector lever position dis-
play after moving the selector lever.
z If the brake pedal is not depressed and held,
the shift-lock device activates to prevent the selector lever from being moved from the “P” (PARK) position.When the selector lever cannot
be shifted from the “P” (Park)position
When the selector lever cannot be shifted from the “P” (PARK) position to another po-
sition while the brake pedal is pressed and
held down with the ignition switch or the op- eration mode in ON, the battery may be flator the shift-lock mechanism may be malfunc-
tioning. Immediately have your vehicle checked by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
