3. If the engine still will not start, the engine could be flooded with too much gasoline. While depressing the brake pedal, push the accelerator pedal all the way downand hold it there, then press the engine switch to crank the engine. If the engine does not start after 5 to 6 seconds, pushthe engine switch to stop cranking the engine, and release the accelerator pedal. Put the operation mode in OFF. Wait afew seconds, and then press the engineswitch to crank the engine again while depressing the brake pedal, but do not push the accelerator pedal. If the enginefails to start, repeat these procedures. If the engine still will not start, contact your local Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repairfacility of your choice for assistance.
Startability of the engine with an ambient temperature of -22 °F (-30 °C) or lower When the ambient temperature is -22 °F (-30°C) or lower, it may not be possible to start from a standstill even with the selector lever in the “D” (DRIVE) or “R” (REVERSE)position. This phenomenon occurs because the trans- axle has not warmed up sufficiently; it doesnot indicate a problem. If this occurs, place the selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position and let the engine idle for at least 10 minutes.
The transaxle will warm up, and you will be able to start normally. Do not leave the vehicle during warm-up operation.

Continuously variable transmission (CVT)
Features and controls 5-67
5
At this position, the transmission is disen- gaged. It is the same as the neutral position ona 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 and driving conditions.
N00560701124
Whether the vehicle is stationary or inmotion, sports mode is selected by gently pushing the selector lever from the “D”(DRIVE) position into sports mode gate (A). To return to “D” (DRIVE) operation, gently push the selector lever back into the maingate (B).
In sports mode, gear shifts can be made rap- idly simply by moving the selector lever backward and forward or using the sportronic steering wheel paddle sh
ifter at the steering
wheel (for vehicles equipped with the spor- tronic steering wheel paddle shifter). In con- trast to a M/T, the sports mode allows gearshifts with the accelerator pedal depressed.
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 while the vehicle is in motion, the transmissionmay 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 transmission. 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) position, or when shift- ing into or out of “N” (NEUTRAL) posi- tion.
“D” DRIVE
CAUTION To prevent transmission damage, never shift into the “D” (DRIVE) position from the “R”(REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in motion.
Sports mode
WA R N I N G
NOTE
 You can shift into sports mode with the spor- tronic steering wheel paddle shifter when the selector lever is in the main gate (B) as well.Also, you can return to the “D” (DRIVE) operation in any of following ways. When returning to “D” (DRIVE) operation,the selector lever position display will change to “D” (DRIVE) position. • Pull the sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter on the (SHIFT UP) side for lon- ger than 2 seconds. • Stop the vehicle.• Push the selector lever from the “D” (DRIVE) position into the manual gate (A)and push the selector lever back into the main gate (B).

1-
(SHIFT UP) Transmission shifts up once by eachoperation.
2-
(SHIFT DOWN) Transmission shifts down once by eachoperation.CAUTION In sports mode, the
driver must execute
upward shifts in accordance with prevailing road conditions, taking care to keep the engine speed below the tachometer’s redzone. Repeated continuous operation of the selec- tor lever or the sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter will continuously switch shift position. Shift ranges may not change when the lateral paddle shifters are operated at the same time.
NOTE
 Shift ranges can only be selected in a for- ward direction from 1st to 8th. To reverse or park the vehicle, move the selector lever to the “R” (REVERSE) or “P” (PARK) posi- tion.  To maintain good running performance, the transmission may refuse to perform anupshift when the selector lever or the spor- tronic steering wheel paddle shifter on the “ (SHIFT UP)” side is pulled at certain vehicle speeds. Also, to prevent over-revving of the engine, the transmission may refuse toperform a downshift when the selector lever or the sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter on the “ (SHIFT DOWN)” side is pulled at certain vehicle speeds. When this happens, a buzzer sounds to indicate that a downshift is not going to take place.  Downward shifts are made automatically when the vehicle slows down. Before the vehicle stops, 1st gear is automatically selected.  The upward shift may be made automatically in sports mode when the engine speed risesand approaches the tachometer’s red zone.

Operation of the CVT
CAUTION Before selecting a position with the engine running and the vehicle stationary, firmlydepress the brake pedal to prevent the vehi- cle from creeping. The vehicle will begin to move as soon as theCVT is engaged, especially 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 could cause driver move-ment delay in case of an emergency. To prevent sudden acceleration, never run the engine at high revolutions when shifting from the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL).

To gain extra acceleration in “D” (DRIVE) position (when passing another vehicle) push the accelerator to the floor. The CVT will automatically downshift.
For short waiting periods, such as at traffic lights, the vehicle can be left in selector leverposition and held stationary with the service brake. For longer waiting periods with the enginerunning, place the selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position and apply the parking brake, while holding the vehicle stationarywith the service brake. Prior to moving off after having stopped the vehicle, make sure that the selector lever is in“D” (DRIVE) position or Sports mode posi- tion.
To park the vehicle, first bring it to a com- plete stop, firmly apply the parking brake,and then move the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position. If the CVT does not shift while driving, or your vehicle does not pick up enough speedwhen starting on an uphill slope, it may be that there is something unusual happening in the transmission, causing a safety device toactivate. Immediately have your vehicle checked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
 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) position or sports mode} or coast forward 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 CVT. Also, when you depress the accelerator pedal while holding down the brake pedal with theselector lever in the “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.
Passing acceleration
CAUTION
NOTE
 In sports mode, downshifts do not take place when the accelerator is depressed all the way to the floor.
Waiting
CAUTION To avoid transmission overheating, never try to keep your vehicle stationary on a hill by using the accelerator pedal. Always apply the parking brake and/or service brake. Do not rev the engine unnecessarily while the vehicle is stationary. Unexpected acceler-ation may occur if the selector lever is in a position other than “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL).
Parking When the CVT makes no speed change
NOTE
 When the warning display and “SLOW DOWN” or the warning display and “SERVICE REQUIRED” appear on the information screen in the multi-information display, there could be
a malfunction in the
CVT. Refer to “Continuously variable trans-mission (CVT): Warning display” on page 5-66.

4-wheel drive operation
Features and controls 5-73

When turning a sharp corner in “GRAVEL” position at low speed, a slight difference in steering may be experienced similar to feel- ing as if the brakes were applied. This iscalled tight corner braking and results from each of the four tires being at a different dis- tance from the corner. The phenomenon istypical of 4-wheel drive vehicles. If this occurs, either straighten out the steering wheel or change to another mode. Set the drive mode-selector to “SNOW” in accordance with the road conditions, and thengradually depress the accelerator pedal for a smooth start.
Set the drive mode-selector to “GRAVEL” and then gradually depress the accelerator pedal for a smooth start. Keep the pressure onthe accelerator pedal as constant as possible, and drive at low speed.
NOTE
 Driving on rough roads can be hard on a vehicle. Before you leave the pavement, be sure all scheduled maintenance and service has been done, and that you have inspected your vehicle. Pay special attention to thecondition of the tires, and check the tire pres- sures.  Mitsubishi Motors is not responsible to the operator for any damage or injury caused or liability incurred by improper and negligentoperation of a vehicle. All techniques of vehicle operation depend on the skill and experience of the operator and other partici-pating parties. Any deviation from the rec- ommended operating instructions above is at their own risk.  Note that the stopping distance required of the 4-wheel drive vehicle differs very littlefrom that of the front-wheel drive vehicle. When driving on a snow-covered road or a slippery, muddy surface, make sure that youkeep a sufficient distance between your vehi- cle and the one ahead of you.  The driving posture should be more upright; adjust the seat to a good position for easy steering and pedal operation. Be sure to wearthe seat belt.  After driving on rough roads, check each part of the vehicle and wash it thoroughly with water. Refer to the “Inspection andmaintenance following rough road opera- tion” section and “Vehicle care and Mainte- nance” sections.
CAUTION Setting the drive mode-selector to “GRAVEL” and “SNOW” position to drive on dry paved road will increase fuel con- sumption, with possible noise and vibration generation.
Turning sharp corners On snowy or icy roads
NOTE
 The use of snow tires is recommended.
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, avoid sudden braking, and use engine brak- ing (downshifting).CAUTION Avoid sudden braking, sudden acceleration and sharp turning. Skidding occurs and con- trol of the vehicle could be lost.
Driving on sandy or muddy roads
CAUTION Do not force the vehicle or drive recklessly on sandy surfaces. In comparison with nor- mal road surfaces, the engine and other drive-system components are put underexcessive strain when driving on such a sur- face. This could lead to accidents. If any of the following conditions occur while the vehicle is being driven, immedi- ately park your vehicle in a safe place andfollow these procedures:NOTE
