In sports mode, the currently selected shift range is displayed on
the information screen
in the multi-information display.
N00560801125
NOTE
 Shift ranges can only be
selected in a for-
ward direction from 1st to 6th. To reverse orpark the vehicle, move
the selector lever to
the “R” or “P” position.  To maintain good running performance, the transmission may refuse to perform an upshift when the sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter is moved to the “+(SHIFTUP)” position at cert
ain vehicle speeds.
Also, to prevent over-revving of the engine, the transmission may refuse to perform adownshift when the
sportronic steering
wheel paddle shifter is moved to the “
−
(SHIFT DOWN)” position
at certain vehicle
speeds. When this happens, a buzzer sounds to indicate that a dow
nshift is not going to
take place.  Downward shifts are made automatically when the vehicle slows down. Before thevehicle stops, 1st ge
ar is automatically
selected. Also, the vehicle will automatically return to“D” (DRIVE) operation if the vehicle is stopped.  When the selector lever is in the “L” (LOW) position, the sport mode
is not selected even
if you operate the spor
tronic steering wheel
paddle shifter.  The upward shift may be
made automatically
in sports mode when the engine speed rises and approaches the tachometer’s red zone.

Operation of the CVT

CAUTION Before selecting a pos
ition with the engine
running and the vehicl
e stationary, firmly
depress the brake pedal to prevent the vehi-cle from creeping. The vehicle will begin to move as soon as the CVT is engaged,
especially when the engine
speed or idle speed is
high, or with the air
conditioning operating. Do not release the brak
e pedal until you are
ready 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 from the “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), “DS” (DOWN SHIFT & SPORTY DRVING), “L” (LOW) position or sports mode} or coastforward in the “R” (REVERSE) position. Engine stopping and in
creased brake pedal
and steering effort could
lead to an accident.
Do not rev the engine
with the brake pedal
pressed when the vehi
cle is stationary.
This can damage the CVT. Also, when you depress
the accelera
tor 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.CAUTION

To gain extra acceleration in “D” (DRIVE) position (when passing another vehicle) push the accelerator to the floor. The CVT willautomatically downshift. For short waiting periods, such as at traffic lights, the vehicle can be
left in selector lever
position and held stationary with the service brake.For longer waiting periods with the engine running, place th
e selector lever in the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position and apply the parkingbrake, while holding th
e vehicle stationary
with the service brake. Prior to moving off after having stopped thevehicle, 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 speed when starting on an uphill slope, it may bethat there is something unusual happening in the transmission, causi
ng a safety device to
activate. Have your ve
hicle checked at an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice immediately.
N00548301061
The electronically c
ontrolled 4WD system
helps improve accelerati
on and vehicle stabil-
ity by controlling the front-rear distribution ofdriving 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.
Passing acceleration

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

CAUTION To avoid transmission
overheating, never try
to keep your vehicle st
ationary 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 page5-79.

Your vehicle has been designed for both nor- mal and occasional off-road use. However, avoid driving the vehicle through areas wherethe tires may get stuck in deep sand or mud as your vehicle is designe
d primarily for use on
pavement, unlike a conventional off-roadvehicle. Keep in mind that 2-wheel drive vehicles are less capable than 4-wh
eel drive vehicles for
driving on muddy, slippery, wet or snow-cov- ered roads. Utility vehicles have
higher ground clearance
and a narrower track, which enables them toperform in a wide variety of off-road situa- tions. Because of the higher ground clear- ance, these vehicles have a higher center ofgravity, which makes them handle differently than ordinary vehicles when driving on pave- ment. They are not designed to maneuver orcorner at the same speed on pavement as con- ventional 2-wheel driv
e passenger cars any
more than low-slung sports cars are designed
to perform satisfactorily in off-road condi- tions.Always drive safely
and steer the vehicle
carefully. Avoid operating the vehicle in a manner that might require sharp turns orabrupt maneuvers. As wi
th other vehicles of
this type, failure to operate this vehicle cor- rectly can result in lo
ss of control or vehicle
rollover. In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is sig- nificantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seat belt. Be
fore starting the vehi-
cle, always make cert
ain that you and all your
passengers are properly wearing their seat belts (with children in the rear seat, in appro- priate restraints).
N00628801191
Fuel economy is depe
ndent on many factors.
Your personal driving habits can have a sig-nificant effect on your fuel consumption. Several recommendations
for achieving the
greatest fuel economy are listed below.  Whenever accelerating from a stop, always accelerate
slowly and smoothly.
 When parked for even a short period, do not idle the engine. Shut it off. Plan your trips to avoid unnecessary stops.
 Keep your tires inflated to the recom- mended pressures. When driving a 4-wheel drive vehicle on highways or dry improved roads, set the drive mode to “4WD ECO” or “4WDAUTO” (Electronically controlled 4WD), or “AWC ECO” or “NORMAL” (S- AW C ) . For freeway driving, maintain a speed of approximately 50 mph (80 km/h) when traffic, roadway and weather conditions safely permit.  Keep your air filter clean and your vehicle lubricated according
to the recommenda-
tions in this manual.  Always keep your ve
hicle well main-
tained. A poorly maintained engine wastes fuel and costs money.  Never overload your vehicle.
N00628900049
Drunk driving is one of the most frequent causes of accidents.Your driving ability ca
n be seriously impaired
even with blood alcohol levels far below the legal minimum. If you
have been drinking,
don’t drive. Ride with a designated non- drinking driver, call a cab or a friend, or use public transportation. Drinking coffee or tak-ing a cold shower will not make you sober.
Driving precaution
WA R N I N G Utility vehicles have
a significantly higher
rollover rate than othe
r types of vehicles.
Avoid abrupt maneuvers and excessive speed. Always buckle up.
