Sports mode indicator
In sports mode, the currently selected posi-tion is indicated by the indicator (A) shown
on the instrument panel.
When a malfunction occurs in
the automatic transmissionWhen the selector lever position
display blinks
When the selector lever position display blinks while you are driving, there could be a
malfunction in the automatic transmission
system.
NOTEz “A” indicator does blink only the condition
that the A/T positional switch is broken.
It does not indicate in normal driving condi- tion.CAUT,ONz If the selector lever position display blinks
while you are driving, it is likely that a safe-
ty device is operating because of a malfunc- tion in the automatic transmission. Immedi-
ately have the vehicle inspected at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.When the A/T (automatic trans-
mission) fluid temperaturewarning lamp comes on
The automatic transmission fluid temperature
warning lamp comes on and a buzzer may sound, when the automatic transmission fluid
temperature becomes abnormally high. Nor- mally the warning lamp comes on when the
ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position
or the operation mode is put in ON, and then will go off after a few seconds.

CAUT,ONzIf the lamp comes on, reduce the engine
speed and stop the vehicle in a safe area.Then set the selector lever to “P” (PARK)
position and idle the engine until the warn- ing lamp goes off. When the warning lamp
goes off, resume normal driving. If the warn-
ing lamp does not go off, we recommend
you to have your vehicle inspected.Operation of the A/TCAUT,ONz Before selecting a gear with the engine run-
ning and the vehicle stationary, fully depress
the brake pedal to prevent the vehicle from
creeping.
The vehicle will begin to move as soon as the gear is engaged, especially when the en- gine speed is high, at fast idle or with the airconditioner operating, the brakes should on-
ly be released when you are ready to drive
away.
z 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.
z To prevent sudden acceleration, never race
the engine when shifting from the “P”
(PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL) position.CAUT,ONz 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.
z Use the selector lever in the correct shift po-
sition in accordance with driving conditions.
Never coast downhill backward with the se-
lector lever in the {“D” (DRIVE) or sports mode} or coast forward with the selector
lever in the “R” (REVERSE) position.
The engine may stop and the unexpected in- crease in brake pedal effort and steering
wheel weight could lead to an accident.
z Do not race the engine with brake pedal
pressed when the vehicle is stationary.
This can damage the A/T.
Also, when you depress the accelerator ped- al while holding down the brake pedal withthe selector lever in the “P” (PARK), “N”
(NEUTRAL) or “D” (DRIVE) position, the engine revolutions may not rise as high as
when performing the same operation with
the selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL)
position.Passing acceleration
To gain extra acceleration in “D” (DRIVE)
position, push the accelerator to the floor.
The A/T will automatically downshift.
NOTEz In sports mode, downshifts do not take place
when the accelerator is depressed all the way to the floor.Waiting
For short waiting periods, such as at traffic
signals, the vehicle can be left in gear and
held stationary with the service brake.
For longer waiting periods with the engine running, place the selector lever in the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position and apply the parking brake, while holding the vehicle stationary with the service brake.
CAUT,ONz Never hold the vehicle stationary on a hill
using the accelerator pedal (without using
the brake pedal). Always apply the parking
brake and/or service brakes.Parking
To park the vehicle, first bring it to a com-
plete stop, fully engage the parking brake, and then move the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position.
If you are going to leave the vehicle unatten-
ded, always switch off the engine and carry the key.

NOTEzOn a slope, be sure to apply the parking
brake before moving the selector lever to the
“P” (PARK) position. If you move the selec-
tor lever to the “P” (PARK) position before applying the parking brake, it may be diffi- cult to disengage the selector lever from the
“P” (PARK) position when next you drive
the vehicle, requiring application of a strong
force to the selector lever to move from the “P” (PARK) position.When the automatic transmis-
sion makes no speed change
If the transmission does not change speeds
while driving, or your vehicle does not pick
up enough speed when starting on an uphill slope, it may be that there is something un-usual happening in the transmission, causing
a safety device to activate. Immediately have your vehicle checked at a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point. 1. If your vehicle has difficulty moving up-
hill, shift the selector lever into 2 nd
gear
of the sports mode. This method might
not work depending on the transmission malfunction.
2. Once the vehicle is moving on a level
road, move the selector lever back to“D” (DRIVE).
NOTEz When the selector lever position display in
the instrument panel blinks, it means that
there is an abnormal condition in the trans- mission.
Refer to “When the selector lever position
display blinks” on page 6-33.Easy Select 4WD*
Shifting to rear-wheel drive or 4-wheel drive
can be made by operating the drive mode-se- lector (A). Set the drive mode-selector to an appropriate position according to the roadsurface conditions. In addition, the
2WD/4WD operation indication lamp and the low-range indication lamp indicates the drive
mode-selector setting state. Refer to “2WD/4WD operation indication lamp and low-range indication lamp” on page 6-38.

CAUT,ONzThe “4L” range gives maximum torque for
low-speed driving on steep slopes, as well assandy, muddy, and other difficult surfaces.
On vehicles with automatic transmission, do not exceed speeds of approximately 70 km/h
(43 mph) in “4L” range.CAUT,ONz Do not drive your vehicle in the “4H” or
“4L” on dry paved roads and highways. Do-
ing so may result in excessive tyre wear, in-
creased fuel consumption, and possible noise
generation. It may also increase the differen-
tial oil temperature, which may damage the drive system. Further, the drive train will be
subjected to excessive loading, resulting in oil leakage, component seizure, or other seri-
ous problems. On dry paved roads and high-
ways, drive the vehicle in “2H” only.Drive mode-selector operation

NOTEzThe 2WD/4WD operation indication lamp
will blink during shifting process from “4H”to “4L” or vice versa, as the transfer passes
through the neutral position.
Be sure to operate the drive mode-selector
until the 2WD/4WD operation indication lamp illuminates again.NOTEz When parking, apply the parking brake be-
fore stopping the engine and make sure that the 2WD/4WD operation indicator and the low range lamp are not blinking during shift-ing process between “4H”
Y “4L”. Other- wise, the vehicle could unexpectedly move
even if the automatic transmission is in the
“P” (PARK) position.
z If, after a “4H”
Y “4L” selection has been
made, the 2WD/4WD operation indicator continues blinking and the desired range isnot actually selected, return the drive mode- selector to its previous position. Place the
steering wheel in the straight ahead position, drive the vehicle forward, and release the ac-
celerator pedal. Next, hold down the clutch pedal (with manual transmission) or place
the selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL)
position (with automatic transmission) and make the range selection again.
z If the low range lamp blinks when you at-
tempt to make a “4H”

“4H”
Y “4L” selection cannot be made.
Stop the vehicle and release the accelerator pedal. Next, hold down the clutch pedal(with manual transmission) or place the se-lector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position(with automatic transmission) and make the
range selection again.NOTEz The Active Stability Control function is sus-
pended while “4L” is selected. The indi-
cation lamp illuminates while these func- tions are suspended. It does not indicate a
problem. When “2H” or “4H” is selected,
this lamp goes out and function again. Refer to “ASTC indication lamp, ASTC OFF indi- cation lamp” on page 6-61.CAUT,ONz If a problem is detected in the transfer sys-
tem, a safety device will activate. The 2WD/4WD operation indicator blinks (twiceper second), and transfer shifting will be-
come impossible. Park your vehicle in a safe place, turn off the engine for a few moments.
Restart the engine. The lamp should resume normal operation. If the lamps continue to
blink, have the vehicle checked by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point as soon as possible.
