CAUTION
l
Do not race the engine with 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 ped-
al with the selector lever in the “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 E00602700109
To gain extra acceleration in “D” (DRIVE) posi-
tion,

push the accelerator to the floor. The CVT
will automatically downshift.
NOTE
l In “Sports mode”, downshifts do not take
place when the accelerator is depressed all
the way to the floor.
Uphill/downhill driving E00603000037
DRIVING UPHILL
The
transmission may not upshift to a higher shift
position if the computer determines the current
speed cannot be maintained once a higher shift po-
sition is engaged.
For smoother vehicle performance, if you release
the throttle while climbing a steep grade, the trans-
mission may not upshift.
This is normal, as the computer is temporarily pre-
venting shifting. After reaching the top of the hill,
normal shift function will resume. DRIVING DOWNHILL
When

travelling down steep grades, the computer
may automatically select a lower shift position.
This function assists engine braking efforts, reduc-
ing the need for using the service brakes.
Waiting E00602800126
For short waiting periods, such as at traffic signals
the

vehicle can be left in selector lever position and
held stationary with the service brake.
For longer waiting periods with the engine running,
place the selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) po-
sition and apply the parking brake, while holding
the vehicle stationary with the service brake. CAUTION
l
Never
hold the vehicle stationary while in
CVT on a hill with the accelerator, al-
ways apply the parking brake and/or serv-
ice brake.
Parking E00602900039
To park the vehicle, first bring it to a complete
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 unattended, al-
ways switch off the engine and carry the key. NOTE
l On

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 CVT makes no speed change E00603100139
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 unusual happening in the
transmission, causing a safety device to activate.
We recommend you to have your vehicle checked
as soon as possible. Starting and driving

OGWE12E1

• On vehicles equipped with M/T, the gear-
shift lever is in the following position.
[When starting an uphill slope forwards.]
The
gearshift lever is in any position oth-
er than “R”.
(The hill start assist will operate, even if
the gearshift lever is in the “N” position.)
[When starting an uphill slope backwards.]
The gearshift lever is in the “R” position.
(The hill start assist will not operate
when the gearshift lever is in the “N” po-
sition.)
• On vehicles equipped with CVT, the se- lector lever is in any position other than
“P” or “N”.
• The vehicle is completely stationary, with the brake pedal depressed.
• The parking brake is released.
l The hill start assist will not operate if the ac-
celerator pedal is depressed before the brake
pedal is released.
l The hill start assist also operates when revers-
ing on an uphill slope.
Warning display E00628200199
If an abnormal condition occurs in the system, the
following display/indicator will turn on. -
ASC indicator
Warning display type 1 Warning display type 2
NOTE
l The

combination of items shown on the dis-
play varies depending on the vehicle model. CAUTION
l
If
the warning is displayed, the hill start
assist will not operate. Start off carefully.
l Park your vehicle in a safe place and stop
the engine.
Restart the engine and check whether the
warning display went out, in which case
the hill start assist is again working nor-
mally.
If the warning remains displayed or reap-
pears frequently, it is not necessary to
stop the vehicle immediately, but the vehi-
cle should be inspected at a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point as soon as possible. Brake assist system
E00627000174
The brake assist system is a device assisting drivers
who

cannot depress the brake pedal firmly when it
is necessary to do so (such as in emergency stop sit-
uations) and provides greater braking force.

If the brake pedal is depressed suddenly, the brakes
will be applied with more force than usual. CAUTION
l
The
brake assist system is not a device de-
signed to exercise braking force greater
than its capacity. Make sure to always
keep a sufficient distance between vehi-
cles in front of you without relying too
much on the brake assist system.
NOTE l Once

the brake assist system is operational,
it maintains great braking force even if the
brake pedal is lightly released.
To stop its operation, completely remove
your foot from the brake pedal.
l The brake assist system may become opera-
tional when the brake pedal is fully de-
pressed even if it has not been depressed sud-
denly. Starting and driving

Electric power steering system
(EPS) E00629200112
The
electric power steering system (EPS) uses an
electric motor to assist the turning of the steering
wheel.
The power steering system operates while the en-
gine is running. It helps reduce the effort needed to
turn the steering wheel.
The power steering system has mechanical steering
capability in case the power assist is lost. If the pow-
er assist is lost for some reason, you will still be
able to steer your vehicle. If the power assist is
lost, you will notice it takes much more effort to
steer and that there is much more “free play” in the
steering wheel. If this happens, we recommend you
to have your vehicle inspected. WARNING
l Do
not stop the engine while the vehicle is
moving. Stopping the engine would make
the steering wheel extremely hard to
turn, possibly resulting in an accident.
NOTE l During

repeated full-lock turning of the steer-
ing wheel (for example, while you are ma-
noeuvring the vehicle into a parking space),
a protection function may be activated to pre-
vent overheating of the power steering sys-
tem. This function will make the steering
wheel gradually harder to turn. In this event,
limit your turning of the steering wheel for a
while. When the system has cooled down,
the steering action will return to normal. l
If
you turn the steering wheel while the vehi-
cle is stationary with the headlamps on, the
headlamps may become dim. This behaviour
is not abnormal. The headlamps will return
to their original brightness after a short while.
Electric power steering system warn-
ing display Type 1 Type 2
When there is a malfunction in the system, the warn-
ing display will appear on the information screen in
the multi-information display.
CAUTION
l
If
the warning display appears during
driving, it may become harder to turn the
steering wheel.
If the warning display appears while driving 1. Stop
the vehicle in a safe place and turn off
the engine. 2. Wait
approximately 30 seconds and then re-
start the engine to check whether the warning
display goes out; if it then remains off, there
is no problem.
If the warning display does not go out, or it
appears again while driving, we recommend
you to have your vehicle inspected. Starting and driving

Rear-view camera*
E00618400257
The
rear-view camera is a system that shows the
view behind the vehicle on the screen of the
MITSUBISHI Multi Communication System
(MMCS) or the inside rear-view mirror. CAUTION
l
The
rear-view camera is an assistance sys-
tem that enables the driver to check for
obstacles behind the vehicle. Its range of
view is limited, so you should not overly
depend on it. Please drive just as careful-
ly as you would if the vehicle did not have
the rear-view camera.
l Be sure to visually confirm safety around
the vehicle with your own eyes. Do not de-
pend entirely on the rear-view camera.
Range of view of rear-view camera
The
range of view of the rear-view camera is limi-
ted to the area shown in the illustrations. It cannot
show both sides and the lower part of the rear bump-
er, etc.
When reversing, be sure to visually confirm safety
around the vehicle. Location of rear-view camera
The rear-view camera (A) is integrated into the part
near the tailgate handle.
Range of view of rear-view camera How to use the rear-view camera
When you place the gearshift lever or selector lever
in

the “R” position with the ignition switch or the
operation mode in ON, the view behind the vehicle
will automatically appear on the screen of the
MITSUBISHI Multi Communication System
(MMCS) or the inside rear-view mirror. When you
move the gearshift lever or the selector lever to any
other position, the screen will return to its original
indication. CAUTION
l
The
rear-view camera has a special lens
that can make objects shown on the
screen appear to be closer or further
away than they actually are.
NOTE l Because

the rear-view camera has a special
lens, the lines on the ground between parking
spaces may not look parallel on the screen. Starting and driving
