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.

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.

Blind Spot Warning (BSW) (with Lane Change Assist) (if so equipped)
Features and controls 5-127

FDA Assertion number: 1520863-000
For vehicles sold in U.S.A. For vehicles sold in Canada
N00592200040
The Blind Spot Warning (BSW) is a driving aid system that alerts the driver when anothervehicle which may not be visible through the outside rearview mirror is traveling in the next lane behind your vehicle. When a vehicle in the next lane is traveling at same speed or faster in the detection areas,the Blind Spot Warning light in the corre- sponding outside rearview
mirror will illumi-
nate. If the turn signal le
ver is operated to the
side where the Blind Spot Warning light is illuminated, the Blind
Spot Warning light will
blink and the system will beep three times toalert the driver. Depending on the relative speed between your vehicle and a vehi
cle in the next lane,
the Blind Spot Warning system will detect up to approximately 230 feet (70 m) from your vehicle. (Lane Change Assist)
• Always use tires of the same size, same type and same brand, and which have nosignificant wear differences.• Do not modify the vehicle’s suspensions. If the windshield on the sensor or in the sur- rounding area of the sensor is cracked or scratched, the sensor
may not detect an
object properly. This
could cause a serious
accident. Turn off the FCM and have your vehicle inspected as
soon as possible at an
authorized Mitsubish
i Motors dealer.
If you need to replace the windshield, con- tact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. The sensor emits infrared rays when the operation mode is in
ON. Do not look into
the sensor by using optical goods such as a magnifying glass. The infrared ray might injure your eyes.

Brake fluid 9-14 Vehicle care and maintenance

N00938701327
Check the fluid level in the reservoir. The fluid level must be between the “MAX” and “MIN” marks on the reservoir. The fluid level falls slightly with wear of the brake pads, but this
does not indicate any
abnormality.If the fluid level falls se
aled tight in a short
length of time, it indi
cates leaks from the
brake system.If this occurs, have the vehicle checked by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
Use the recommended brake fluid conform- ing to DOT 3 or DOT 4. The reservoir cap must be tightly sealed to keep dirt and waterout.
N00939101940
The condition of the battery is very important for quick starting and to keep the vehicle’s electrical system working properly. Check thebattery regularly. If battery performance is suspect, have the battery and charging system tested by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice. The electrolyte level
must be between the
limits shown on the outside
of the battery. Fill
it with distilled water
as needed. The inside of
the battery is divided into several compart- ments. Take the cap off of each compartment and fill to the mark.

WA R N I N G Take care in handling brake fluid as it is harmful to the eyes, may irritates yourskin and will damage
painted surfaces.
Wipe up spills immediately. If brake fluid gets on your hands or inyour eyes, flush imme
diately with clean
water. Follow up with a doctor as neces- sary.CAUTION Do not let any petrol
eum-based fluid touch,
mix with, or get into the brake fluid. This will damage the seals. Be careful when handling brake fluid. It can damage painted surfaces. Use only the listed brake fluid. Different brands of brake fluid have different addi- tives, and these can cause a chemical reac- tion. Do not mix brands of brake fluid. Keep the reservoir ta
nk cap closed to keep
the brake fluid from evaporating.
Battery
NOTE
 After replacing the battery, the electronic control system data for the automatic trans-axle, etc., will be erased. As a result, shifting may be rough. Shifting will become smoother after severalchanges in speed.
