Parking brake
E00600501243
To
park the vehicle, first bring it to a complete
stop, fully engage the parking brake.
To apply 1- Firmly
depress and hold the brake pedal,
then pull the lever up without pushing the but-
ton at the end of hand grip. CAUTION
l
When
you intend to apply the parking
brake, firmly press the brake pedal to
bring the vehicle to a complete stop be-
fore pulling the parking brake lever. Pull-
ing the parking brake lever with the vehi-
cle moving could make the rear wheels
lock up, thereby making the vehicle unsta-
ble. It could also make the parking brake
malfunction. NOTE
l Apply

sufficient force to the parking brake
lever to hold the vehicle stationary after the
foot brake is released.
l If the parking brake does not hold the vehicle
stationary after the foot brake is released,
have your vehicle checked immediately.
To release 1- Firmly
depress and hold the brake pedal,
then pull the lever up slightly.
2- Push the button at the end of hand grip.

l
Before
driving, be sure that the parking
brake is fully released and brake warning
lamp is off.
If you drive without the parking brake
fully released, the warning display will ap-
pear on the information screen in the mul-
ti-information display.
If a vehicle is driven without releasing the
parking brake, the brake will be overhea-
ted, resulting in ineffective braking and
possible brake failure.

Fuel injection amount learning proc-
ess (diesel-powered vehicles)
E00627900043
To
keep exhaust emissions and engine noise low,
the engine very occasionally performs a learning
process for the fuel injection amount.
The engine sounds slightly different from usual
while the learning process is taking place. The
change in the engine sound does not indicate a fault. Diesel particulate filter (DPF)*
E00619800199
The
diesel particulate filter (DPF) is a device that
captures most of the particulate matter (PM) in the
exhaust emissions of the diesel engine. The DPF au-
tomatically burns away trapped PM during vehicle
operation. Under certain driving conditions, howev-
er, the DPF is not able to burn away all of the trap-
ped PM and, as a result, an excessive amount of
PM accumulates inside it. WARNING
l The DPF reaches very high temperatures.
Do

not park your vehicle in areas where
combustible materials such as dry grass
or leaves can come in contact with a hot
exhaust system since a fire could occur. CAUTION
l
Do
not use any type of fuel or engine oil
that is not specified for your vehicle. Al-
so, do not use any moisture-removing
agent or other fuel additive. Such substan-
ces could have a detrimental effect on the
DPF.
Refer to “Fuel selection” on page 02 and
“Engine oil” on page 8-04.
NOTE l To

minimize the likelihood of excessive ac-
cumulation of PM, try to avoid driving for
long periods at low speeds and repeatedly
driving short distances. l
The
engine sounds slightly different than usu-
al while the DPF automatically burns away
trapped PM. The change in the engine sound
does not indicate a fault.
DPF warning display Type 1 Type 2
The DPF warning display illuminates in the event
of an abnormality in the DPF system.
If the DPF warning display illumi-
nates during vehicle operation
Steady

illumination of the DPF warning display
shows that the DPF has not been able to burn away
all of the trapped PM and that, as a result, an exces-
sive amount of PM has accumulated inside it. To en-
able the DPF to burn away the PM, try to drive the
vehicle as follows:
l With the bar graph of engine coolant temper-
ature display stabilized in roughly the middle
of the scale, drive for about 20 minutes at a
speed of at least 40 km/h (25 mph). Starting and driving
4-15 4

If the DPF warning display subsequently stays on,
contact
a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point. CAUTION
l
You
do not have to continuously drive ex-
actly as indicated above. Always strive to
drive safely in accordance with road con-
ditions.
If the DPF warning display and check
engine warning lamp illuminate at the
same time during vehicle operation Warning lamp Warning display type 1
Warning display type 2
If an abnormal condition occurs in the DPF system,
the

DPF warning display and check engine warn-
ing lamp illuminate. Have the system inspected at a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
CAUTION
l
Continuing
to drive with the DPF warn-
ing display and check engine warning
lamp illuminating could result in engine
trouble and DPF damage. Turbocharger operation*
E00611200083 CAUTION
l
Do not run the engine at high speeds (for
example, by revving it or by accelerating
rapidly) immediately after starting it.
l Do not stop the engine immediately after
high-speed or uphill driving. First allow
the engine to idle to give the turbocharg-
er a chance to cool down. Starting and driving

Turbocharger
The
turbocharger increases engine power by push-
ing large amounts of air into the engine’s cylinders.
The finned parts inside the turbocharger turn at ex-
tremely high speeds and are subjected to extremely
high temperatures. They are lubricated and cooled
by engine oil. If the engine oil is not replaced at the
specified intervals, the bearings may seize or emit
abnormal noise. 1- Air compressor

Automatic transmission
INVECS-III Sports Mode 6CVT
(Intelligent & Innovative Vehicle Electronic Control System III)* E00602100031
The
INVECS-III uses optimization and adaptation
functions to optimally match the gear ratio to driv-
ing and road conditions.
The CVT is capable of changing the gear ratio auto-
matically and steplessly to suit driving conditions
in all phases of vehicle operation. It therefore real-
izes smooth, shock-free operation and excellent
fuel efficiency. CAUTION
l
Automatic
downshifts may not take place
while the CVT fluid is still cool immedi-
ately after you start driving. To cause a
downshift, depress the brake pedal, man-
ually shift down when necessary.
Always strive to drive safely in accord-
ance with road conditions.
Selector lever operation E00602200221
The CVT selects an optimum gear ratio automati-
cally,

depending on the speed of the vehicle and
the position of the accelerator pedal. The selector lever (A) has 2 gates; the main gate
(B) and the manual gate (C).
While depressing the brake pedal,
move
the selector lever through the gate. Move the selector lever through the gate. WARNING
l Always
depress the brake pedal when
shifting the selector lever into the other
position from the “P” (PARK) or “N”
(NEUTRAL) position.
Never put your foot on the accelerator ped-
al while shifting the selector lever from
the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL) po-
sition.
NOTE l To

avoid erroneous operation, move the se-
lector lever firmly into each position and brief-
ly hold it there. Always check the position
shown by the selector lever position display
after moving the selector lever.
l If the brake pedal is not depressed and held,
the shift-lock device activates to prevent the
selector lever from being moved from the
“P” (PARK) position.
When the selector lever cannot be shifted from
the “P” (PARK) position E00629000178
When the selector lever cannot be shifted from the
“P”

(PARK) position to another position while the
brake pedal is pressed and held down with the igni-
tion switch or the operation mode in ON, the bat-
tery may be flat or the shift-lock mechanism may
be malfunctioning. Immediately have your vehicle
checked by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized

vehicle from moving. The engine can be started in
this position.
“R” REVERSE
This position is to back up. CAUTION
l
Never
shift into the “P” (PARK) or “R”
(REVERSE) position while the vehicle is
in motion to avoid a transmission damage. “N” NEUTRAL
At this position the transmission is disengaged. It is
the

same as the neutral position on a manual trans-
mission, and should only be used when the vehicle
is stationary for an extended length of time during
driving, such as in a traffic jam. WARNING
l Never
move the selector lever to the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position while driving. A se-
rious accident could occur since you
could accidentally move the lever into the
“P” (PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position
or you will lose engine braking.
l On a gradient the engine should be star-
ted in the “P” (PARK) position, not in the
“N” (NEUTRAL) position.
l Always keep your right foot on the brake
pedal when shifting into or out of “N”
(NEUTRAL), to minimize the risk of loss
of control.
