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 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
