Precautions to observe when using wip-
ers and washers
E00510000070
l If
the moving wipers become blocked by ice
or other deposits on the glass, the motor may
burn out even if the wiper switch is turned to
OFF. If obstruction occurs, park your vehicle
in a safe place, turn off the engine, and clean
the deposits from the glass so that the wipers
operate smoothly.
l Do not use the wipers when the glass is dry.
They may scratch the glass surface and the
blades wear out prematurely.
l Before using the wipers in cold weather,
check that the wiper blades are not frozen on-
to the glass. The motor may burn out if the
wipers are used with the blades frozen onto
the glass.
l Avoid using the washer continuously for
more than 20 seconds. Do not operate the
washer when the fluid reservoir is empty.
Otherwise, the motor may burn out.
l Periodically check the level of washer fluid
in the reservoir and refill if required.
During cold weather, add a recommended
washer solution that will not freeze in the
washer reservoir. Failure to do so could re-
sult in loss of washer function and frost dam-
age to the system components. Rear window demister switch
E00507901186
The
rear window demister switch can be operated
when the engine is running.
Push the switch to turn on the rear window demis-
ter. It will be turned off automatically in about 20
minutes. To turn off the demister within about 20
minutes, push the switch again.
The indication lamp (A) will illuminate while the

Using the MIVEC engine*
The MIVEC engine automatically switches its in-
take-valve control between a low-speed mode and
a high-speed mode in accordance with driving con-
ditions for maximum engine performance.
NOTE l To protect the engine, the high-speed mode
may not be selected while the engine coolant
temperature is low. 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)*
E00619800245
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. Starting and driving

Turbocharger operation*
E00611200083CAUTION
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. 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

The
Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system automatical-
ly stops and restarts the engine without operating
the ignition switch or the engine switch when the
vehicle is stopped, such as at a traffic light or in a
traffic jam, to reduce exhaust gases and increase
fuel efficiency. CAUTION
l
If
the vehicle will be stopped for a long
time or if you will leave the vehicle unat-
tended, turn the ignition switch to the
“LOCK” position and press the engine
switch to stop the engine.
Automatically stopping the engine E00627500078

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 E00629000224
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
Service Point.
If you need to move the vehicle, shift the selector
lever as follows. 1. Make sure the parking brake is applied.
2. Stop the engine if it is running. Starting and driving
