Auto Stop Go (AS G)system*
The Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system auto- matically stops and restarts the engine with-
out operating the ignition switch or engineswitch when the vehicle is stopped, such as at
a traffic light or in a traffic jam, to reduce ex- haust gases, increase fuel efficiency.CAUT,ONz If the vehicle will be stopped for a long time
or if you will leave the vehicle unattended,
stop the engine.NOTEz The accumulated time the engine has been
stopped by the AS&G system is displayed in
the multi information display. Refer to “Au-
to Stop & Go monitor” on page 6-29.
z If the AS&G system does not operate or it
operates less frequently, the battery capacity
may have decreased. Have your vehicle in- spected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point.Automatically stopping the en-
gine
The AS&G system is automatically activated when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position or the operation mode is put in
ON.
You can deactivate the system by pressing the “AS&G OFF” switch.
Refer to “To deactivate” on page 6-28.
When the AS&G system will operate, the
indicator display will turn on to inform
the driver.

2.Depressing the brake pedal. The engine
will stop automatically.NOTEz When the engine is automatically stopped,
changes will occur in the driving operations.
Pay close attention to the following.

NOTE

NOTEzThe vehicles with
A/T have the function of
preventing the unexpected start of the vehi-
cle due to creeping, etc., by temporarily maintain the braking force applied when the
engine restarts automatically.
This function is deactivated if the selector lever is set into “N” (Neutral) position.
While the function is activated, you might hear operation noise from under the vehicle
or feel a shock from the brake pedal.
This indicates that the system is operating normally. It does not indicate a malfunction.CAUT,ONz In the following cases, the engine will restart
automatically even if the engine was stopped
by the AS&G system. Pay attention, other- wise an unexpected accident might occur
when the engine restarts.

When the AS&G system is deactivated, the
indicator display will be turned on.
To reactivate the AS&G system, press the “AS&G OFF” switch; the
indicator dis-
play will turn off.
AS&G OFF indicator display
NOTEz This indicator display will also turn on for a
few seconds when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operationmode put in ON.If the indication lamp
blinks while driving
If the indicator display blinks, the
AS&G system is malfunctioning and will not
operate.
We recommend you to consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point.
Manual transmission*
The shift pattern is shown on the gearshift lever knob. Press the clutch pedal all the waydown while shifting gears. To start off, press
the clutch pedal all the way down and shift into the 1st or “R” (Reverse) position, operat-
ing the gearshift lever slowly. Then gradually release the clutch pedal while depressing 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.
z Quick or slight clutch engagement made
while the engine is running at high speed
will cause damage to the clutch and trans-
mission because the traction force is very great.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 In case of hot weather condition or long time
cruising with high speed, a speed limitation function may work to restrict the oil temper-
ature rising of the manual transmission. Af-
ter the oil temperature drops to the appropri-
ate level, the speed limitation function is cancelled.

NOTEzThe gearshift indicator shows recommended
gearshift points for fuel-efficient driving. It
shows a
/ when an upshift is rec-
ommended.
Indication lampIndicator displayMoving the gearshift lever to
the “R” (Reverse) position
Depress and hold the gearshift lever to the
“R” (Reverse) position.
CAUT,ONz Do not depress the gearshift lever when
moving it to any position other than the “R”
(Reverse) position. If you always depress the gearshift lever when moving it, you could unintentionally move the gearshift lever tothe “R” (Reverse) position and cause an ac-
cident and/or a transmission fault.Possible driving speed

Avoid shifting down at high speed, as this
may cause excessive engine speed (the tach- ometer needle into the red zone) and damage
the engine.

Automatic transmission
Sports Mode 6A/T*NOTEz During running-in period or immediately af-
ter reconnection of the battery cable, there may be a case where gear shifts are not
made smoothly. This does not indicate a faulty transmission.
Gear shifts will become smooth after the transmission has been shifted several times
by the electronic control system.Selector lever operation
The transmission has 6 forward gears and 1
reverse gear.
The individual gears are selected automati-
cally, depending on the speed of the vehicle and the position of the accelerator pedal.The selector lever (A) has 2 gates; the main gate (B) and the manual gate (C).

While depressing the brake pedal,
move the selector lever through the gate.Move the selector lever throughthe gate.:ARN,NGz Always depress the brake pedal when
shifting the selector lever into a gear from the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL) po-
sition.
Never put your foot on the accelerator
pedal while shifting the selector lever from the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEU-TRAL) position.NOTEz To avoid erroneous operation, move the se-
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 at the “ON” position or the operation mode in ON,the battery may be flat or the shift-lock
mechanism may be malfunctioning. Immedi-
ately have your vehicle checked by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point.
If you need to move the vehicle, shift the se- lector lever as follows.
For LHD vehicles
1. Make sure the parking brake is applied.
2. Stop the engine if it is running.
3. Insert a straight blade (or minus) screw-
driver with a cloth over its tip into notch (A) or the cover. Pry gently as shown to
remove the cover.
4. Depress the brake pedal with the right
foot.
