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 when the vehicle is not moving for an extended length of time during driving, such as in atraffic jam.
This position is used for most city and high- way driving. The transmission will automati- cally and continuously
change its gear ratio
depending on road a
nd driving conditions.
• 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 showing. It is safe to continue driving if the display is no longershowing. If the warning display remains, contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair fa
cility of your choice
immediately. [When warning display is showing] It may be that there is something unusual happening in the CVT, causing a safety device to activate
. Have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a re
pair facility of your
choice immediately. NOTE
 The selector lever posit
ion display blinks at
the time of the warning display or the warning display appears.  The “A” display on the
selector lever posi-
tion display will blink only when there is a problem with the CV
T position switch.
CAUTION
Selector lever positions

“P” PARK

“R” REVERSE

CAUTIONNever shift into the “P” (PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in motion. If the lever is shifted into the “P” (PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position whilethe 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 sinceyou 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. To prevent rolling, always keep your foot on the brake pedal when the vehicle is in “N” (NEUTRAL) positi
on, or when shift-
ing into or out of
“N” (NEUTRAL) posi-
tion.
“D” DRIVE

CAUTION To prevent transmissi
on damage, never shift
into the “D” (DRIVE) position from the “R” (REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in motion.

While the vehicle is stopped or being drivenwith the selector lever in the “D” (DRIVE), sports mode can be se
lected by pulling one of
the sportronic steering wheel paddle shiftertowards you. In sports mode, rapid
shifting is possible sim-
ply by operating the sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter. Unlike the manual transaxle, sports modeallows shifting with the accelerator pedal depressed.
+ (SHIFT UP) Transmission shifts
up once by each opera-
tion. − (SHIFT DOWN) Transmission shifts down once by each oper- ation. To return to “D” (DRIVE) operation, pull the sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter on the + (SHIFT UP) side for longer than 2 sec- onds. When returning to “D” (DRIVE) operation, the selector lever posi
tion display will change
to “D” (DRIVE) position.

CAUTION In sports mode, the driver must execute upward shifts in accordance with prevailing road conditions, taking care to keep the engine speed below th
e tachometer’s red
zone. Repeated continuous ope
ration of the spor-
tronic steering wheel pa
ddle shifter will con-
tinuously switch shift position. Shift ranges may not cha
