Automatic transmission
Sports Mode 6A/T*NOTEz During running-in period or immediately af-
ter reconnection of the battery cable, there may be a case where gear shifts are not
made smoothly. This does not indicate a faulty transmission.
Gear shifts will become smooth after the transmission has been shifted several times
by the electronic control system.Selector lever operation
The transmission has 6 forward gears and 1
reverse gear.
The individual gears are selected 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 throughthe gate.:ARN,NGz Always depress the brake pedal when
shifting the selector lever into a gear from the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL) po-
sition.
Never put your foot on the accelerator
pedal while shifting the selector lever from the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEU-TRAL) position.NOTEz To avoid erroneous operation, move the se-
lector lever firmly into each position and
briefly hold it there. Always check the posi- tion shown by the selector lever position dis-
play after moving the selector lever.
z 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
When the selector lever cannot be shifted from the “P” (PARK) position to another po-
sition while the brake pedal is pressed and
held down with the ignition switch at the “ON” position or the operation mode in ON,the battery may be flat or the shift-lock
mechanism may be malfunctioning. Immedi-
ately have your vehicle checked by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point.
If you need to move the vehicle, shift the se- lector lever as follows.
For LHD vehicles
1. Make sure the parking brake is applied.
2. Stop the engine if it is running.
3. Insert a straight blade (or minus) screw-
driver with a cloth over its tip into notch (A) or the cover. Pry gently as shown to
remove the cover.

Selector lever positions
“P” PARK
This position locks the transmission to pre-vent the vehicle from moving. The engine
can be started in this position.
“R” REVERSE
This position is to back up.
Automatic transmission Sports Mode 6A/T*
6-332.7(20(1Starting and driving6

CAUT,ONzNever shift into the “P” (PARK) or “R” (RE-
VERSE) position while the vehicle is in mo- tion to avoid a transmission damage.
“N” NEUTRAL
At this position the transmission is disengag-
ed. It is the same as the neutral position on amanual transmission, and should only be used when the vehicle is stationary for an ex-
tended length of time during driving, such as
in a traffic jam.
:ARN,NGz Never move the selector lever to the “N”
(Neutral) position while driving. A seriousaccident could occur since you could acci-dentally move the lever into the “P”(Park) or “R” (Reverse) position or you
will lose engine braking.
z On a gradient, the engine should be star-
ted in the “P” (PARK) position, not in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
z To prevent rolling, always keep your foot
on the brake pedal when the vehicle is in“N” (Neutral) position, or when shifting
into or out of “N” (Neutral) position.“D” DRIVE
This position is used for most city and high-
way driving. The transmission will automati- cally change its gear depending on road and
driving conditions.
CAUT,ONz To prevent transmission damage, never shift
into the “D” (Drive) position from the “R” (Reverse) position while the vehicle is in motion.Sport mode
Whether the vehicle is stationary or in mo-
tion, sports mode is selected by gently push- ing the selector lever from the “D” (DRIVE)
position into the manual gate (A).
To return to “D” range operation, gently push the selector lever back into the main gate (B).
In sports mode, gear shifts can be made rap-
idly simply by moving the selector lever backward and forward. For vehicles equippedwith the shift paddles, shift paddles at the
steering wheel can also be used to perform the gearshift. In contrast to a manual trans-mission, the sports mode allows gear shifts
with the accelerator pedal depressed.
NOTEz If your vehicle is equipped with shift pad-
dles, you can shift into sports mode with
shift paddles when the selector lever is in the main gate as well. Also, you can return to
the “D” range operation in any of following ways.
When returning to “D” range operation, the selector lever position display will change to
“D” (DRIVE) position.

- (SHIFT DOWN)
The transmission shifts down by one gear
with each operation.
CAUT,ONz In sports mode, the driver must execute up-
ward shifts in accordance with prevailing road conditions, taking care to keep the en-
gine speed below the red zone.
z Repeated continuous operation of the selec-
tor lever or the shift paddles will continuous-ly switch shift position.
z For vehicles equipped with the shift paddles,
do not use the left- and right-hand shift pad- dles at the same time. Doing so could cause
a shift of gear ratio that you do not expect.NOTEz Only the 6 forward gears can be selected. To
reverse or park the vehicle, move the selec-
tor lever to the “R” (Reverse) or “P” (Park)
position as required.NOTEz To maintain good running performance, the
transmission may refuse to perform an up- shift when the selector lever or the shift pad-dles are operated to the “+ (SHIFT UP)” po- sition at certain vehicle speeds. Also, to pre-
vent over-revving of the engine, the trans- mission may refuse to perform a downshift when the selector lever or the shift paddlesare operated to the “

NOTEzThe selector lever position indicator blinks
at the time of warning display appears.
z The “A” indicator on the selector lever posi-
tion display will only blink if there is a prob- lem with the A/T position switch.
It is not seen during normal driving.CAUT,ONz If malfunction occurs in the
A/T while driv-
ing, the warning display or the warning
display appears on the information screen in the multi information display.
In this case, immediately park your vehicle
in a safe place and follow these procedures:

When
warning display is showing
The A/T fluid is overheating. The engine
control may activate to lower the A/T fluid
temperature, causing the engine revolutions
and vehicle speed to decrease, or the gear shift timing may change by activating the
A/T control. In this case, take one of the fol-
lowing measures.

CAUT,ONzDo 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.
NOTEz On a slope, be sure to apply the parking
brake before moving the selector lever to the
“P” (Park) position. If you move the selector lever to the “P” (Park) position before apply-ing the parking brake, it may be difficult to
disengage the selector lever from the “P”
(Park) position when next you drive the ve- hicle, requiring application of a strong force
to the selector lever to move from the “P”
(Park) position.When the A/T 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. We recommend
you to have your vehicle checked immediate- ly.

CAUT,ONz The “4L” range gives maximum torque for low-speed driving on steep slopes, as well as sandy, muddy, and other difficult surfaces.
Vehicles with 4N14 engine, do not exceed speeds of approximately 50 km/h (30 mph) in “4L” range.
z Vehicles with 4N14 engine, do not exceed speeds of approximately 110km/h (68 mph) in “4H” range.
z Do not drive your vehicle in the “4H” or “4L” on dry paved roads and highways. Doing so may result in excessive tyre wear, increased fuel consumption,
and possible noise generation. It may also increase the differential 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 serious problems. On dry paved roads and highways, drive the vehicle in
“2H” only.
