When parking on a hill, set the parking brake, and turn the front wheels toward the curb on a downhill, or away from
the curb on an uphill.
NOTE
When leaving the ve
hicle unattended, be
sure to close the sunr
oof and carry the key.
Do not try to operate the sunroof if it is fro- zen closed (after snowfall or during extreme cold). Do not sit on or plac
e heavy luggage on the
sunroof or roof opening edge. Do not apply any forc
e that may cause dam-
age to the sunroof. Release the switch when the sunroof has reached a completely open or completelyclosed position. If the sunroof does not operate when the sun- roof switch is operated, release the switch and check whether something is trapped by the sunroof. If nothing is trapped, have thesunroof checked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. Be careful when tilting up the sunroof if a ski carrier or a roof carrie
r is installed. Depend-
ing on the model of ski carrier or roof carrier,the sunroof may contact
the carrier when the
sunroof is tilted up. Be sure to close the sunroof completely when washing the vehicle or when leaving the vehicle. Do not put any wax on the weatherstrip (black rubber) around the sunroof opening. Ifit is waxed, the weat
herstrip cannot maintain
a weatherproof seal with the sunroof. After washing the vehicle or after rain be sure to wipe off any water that is on the sun- roof before operating it.
Operating the sunroof repeatedly with the engine turned off will run down the battery.Operate the sunroof only while the engine isrunning.

N00514201425
This position locks the transaxle to prevent the vehicle from moving.
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 transaxle is disengaged. It is the same as the neutral position on a manual transaxle and should be used whenthe vehicle is not m
oving for an extended
length of time during driving, such as in a traffic jam. This position is used for most city and high- way driving. The transaxle will automatically change its gear depe
nding on road and driv-
ing conditions.
This position is for dr
iving up very steep hills
and for engine braking at low speeds when driving down steep hills.
N00514401485
While the vehicle is stopped or being driven with the selector lever in the “D” (DRIVE) or“L” (LOW) position, sports mode can be selected by pulling one of the sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter towards you.
NOTE
The selector lever posi
tion 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 automatic transaxle posi- tion switch.
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 moti
on, the transaxle may be
damaged.
“N” NEUTRAL
WA R N I N G Never move the selector lever to the “N” (NEUTRAL) position while driving since you could accidentally slip it into the “P” (PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position,damaging the transaxle. To prevent the vehicle from rolling when stopped on a slope,
the engine should be
started in the “P” (PARK) 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 transaxle damage, never shift into the “D” (DRIVE) position from the “R”(REVERSE) position while the vehicle is inmotion.
“L” LOW
WA R N I N G This position can be used for maximum engine braking.Be very careful not to shift into “L” (LOW) suddenly. Sudden engine braking may cause thetires to skid. Select this position according to the road conditions and vehicle speed.

In sports mode, rapid
shifting is possible sim-
ply by operating the sportronic steering wheelpaddle shifter. Unlike the manual transaxle, sports mode allows shifting with the accelerator pedaldepressed. To return to “D” (DRIVE) or “L” (LOW) operation, pull the spor
tronic steering wheel
paddle shifter on the + (SHIFT UP) side for longer than 2 seconds.When returning to “D” (DRIVE) or “L” (LOW) operation, the selector lever position display will change to “D” (DRIVE) or “L”(LOW) position.
+ (SHIFT UP) The transaxle shifts up by one gear with each operation. − (SHIFT DOWN) The transaxle shifts down by one gear with each operation.
SHIFT UP
SHIFT DOWN
CAUTION In sports mode, the driver must execute upward shifts in accordance with prevailingroad conditions, taking care to keep the engine speed below the tachometer’s red zone. Repeated continuous ope
ration of the spor-
tronic steering wheel pa
ddle shifter will con-
tinuously switch shift position. Gears may not change when the lateral pad- dle shifters are operate
d at the same time.
NOTE
Gears can only be selected in a forward direction from 1st gear to 6th gear. To reverse or park the vehi
cle, move the selector
lever to the “R” or “P” position.
To maintain good running performance, the transaxle may refuse to perform an upshiftwhen the selector lever is moved to the“+(SHIFT UP)” positi
on at certain vehicle
speeds. Also, to prevent over-revving of the engine, the transaxle may refuse to perform adownshift when the lever is moved to the “
−
(SHIFT DOWN)” position
at certain vehicle
speeds. When this happens, a buzzer soundsto indicate that a dow
nshift is not going to
take place. Downward shifts are made automatically when the vehicle slows down. Before the vehicle stops, 1st ge
ar is automatically
selected. When the selector lever is in the “D” (DRIVE) position and sports mode is selected, the vehicle will automatically return to “D” (DRIVE)
operation if the vehi-
cle is stopped. When the selector lever is in the “L” (LOW) position and sports mode is selected, the vehicle will stay in
sports mode and not
return to “L” (LOW) operation even if thevehicle is stopped. The upward shift may be
made automatically
in sports mode when the engine speed rise and approach the tac
hometer’s red zone.

Sports mode display
NOTE
NOTE
While driving in sports mode, the sports mode display may change to show “D” andshifting in sports mode may no longer bepossible. This indicates that controls to drive in the “D” position are operati
ng normally in order
to lower the temperature of the automatic transaxle fluid; it doe
s not indicate a mal-
function. Once the temperature of the auto-matic transaxle fluid drops, shifting in the sports mode will be possible again.
Operation of the automatic transaxle
CAUTION Before selecting a gear
with the engine run-
ning and the vehicle
stationary, firmly
depress the brake pedal to prevent the vehi-cle from creeping. The vehicle will begin to
move as soon as the
gear is engaged, espe
cially when the engine
speed or idle speed is
high, or with the air
conditioning operating. Do not release the brake 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 acce
leration, never run
the engine at high rpms when shifting fromthe “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL). 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), “L” (LOW) position or sports mode} or coastforward 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 transaxle. Also, when you depress
the accelerator pedal
while holding down the brake pedal with theselector lever in th
e “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.
