When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode is put in ON, the selector lever position is shown onthe multi-information display.
N00582900031
If the ambient temperature is low, the selectorlever position display on the multi informa-
tion display may blink when the selector lever is placed in the “D” (DRIVE), “Ds”(DOWNSHIFT & SPORTY DRIVING), “L” (LOW) or “R” (REVERSE) position immedi- ately after the engine has been started. Thisindicates that the transmission requires warm- ing up. While the display is blinking, the vehicle will not move, because the transmis-sion keeps disengaging until the warm up is completed even if the selector lever is placed in the “D”, “Ds”, “L” or “R” position. When the selector lever position display is blinking, perform the following procedure: 1. Depress the brake pedal with your right foot and place the se
lector lever in the
“N” (NEUTRAL) position for several seconds. 2. Keep depressing the brake pedal and thenplace the selector lever in the “D” (DRIVE), “Ds” (DOWNSHIFT & SPORTY DRIVING), “L” (LOW) or “R”(REVERSE) position. If
the selector lever
position display stops
blinking, the warm
up is completed and the transmission willfunction normally. 3. If the display is still
blinking, repeat steps
1 and 2 above.

N00938000570
The automatic transaxle should be maintained and serviced by an au
thorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice to obtain the best performance and longest life. It is impor
tant that the transaxle
fluid is kept at the correct level. The fluid level should be checked when the bar graph for the engine coolant temperature display on the multi-information displayshows the engine is wa
rmed up and the fluid
in the transaxle is heated to its normal work- ing temperature. Driving with the wrong fluidlevel will rapidly wear
out the transaxle and
destroy the fluid. 1. With the brake pedal fully depressed and the engine idling,
select each gear
momentarily, ending with the selectorlever in the “P” (PARK) position.
2. The fluid level should be at the HOT mark, but never a
bove the HOT mark
when the engine is warmed up. Add or drain fluid to get to the correct level. 3. Make certain that the dipstick cap isinstalled properly to
keep dirt and water
out of the transaxle.
Use only “Mitsubishi Motors Genuine ATF- J3” transaxle fluid to ensure optimum trans-axle performance.
Mitsubishi Motors Cor
poration does not rec-
ommend the addition of
any fluid additives to
the transaxle.
