N00547501024
When the selector lever cannot be shiftedfrom the “P” (PARK) position to another position while the brake pedal is pressed andheld down with the ignition switch at the“ON” position or the operation mode in ON, the battery may be flat or the shift-lock mech- anism may be malfunctioning.Immediately have your vehicle checked by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.If you need to move the vehicle, shift the selector lever as follows. 1. Make sure the parking brake is firmly applied.2. Stop the engine if it is running.
The lock button must be pushed while the brake pedal is depressed to move the selector lever.
The lock button must be pushed to move the selector lever. The lock button need not be pushed to move the selector lever.
WA R N I N G If the lock button is always pushed to operate the selector lever, the lever may be accidentally shifted into the “P” (PARK)or “R” (REVERSE) position. Be sure not to push the lock button when performing the operations indicated by in the illustration. Always press the brake pedal when shift- ing the selector lever into a selector posi- tion from the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.When beginning to driv
e, do not shift the
selector lever from the “N” (NEUTRAL) position while pressing the acceleratorpedal. This will cause the vehicle to “jump” forward or backward.NOTE
 To prevent mistakes in operating the lever, make sure you stop briefly at each position. After operating, check the position in the multi-information display.  If the brake pedal is not depressed and held, the shift-lock device activates to prevent theselector lever from being moved from the “P” (PARK) position.

To gain extra acceleration in “D” (DRIVE) position (when passing another vehicle) push the accelerator to the floor. The CVT will automatically downshift.
For short waiting periods, such as at traffic lights, the vehicle can be left in selector leverposition and held stationary with the service brake. For longer waiting periods with the enginerunning, place the selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position and apply the parking brake, while holding the vehicle stationarywith 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 selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position. If the CVT does not shift while driving, or your vehicle does not pick up enough speedwhen starting on an uphill slope, it may be that there is something unusual happening in the transmission, causing a safety device toactivate. Immediately have your vehicle checked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
 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) position or sports mode} or coast forward 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 the “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
CAUTION
NOTE
 In sports mode, downshifts do not take place when the accelerator is depressed all the way to the floor.
Waiting
CAUTION To avoid transmission overheating, never try to keep your vehicle stationary 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).
Parking When the CVT makes no speed change
NOTE
 When the warning display and “SLOW DOWN” or the warning display and “SERVICE REQUIRED” appear on the information screen in the multi-information display, there could be
a malfunction in the
CVT. Refer to “Continuously variable trans-mission (CVT): Warning display” on page 5-66.
