N00513900314
A- Selector lever position indicator
When the ignition key is turned to the “ON” position, the
indicator in the instrument cluster comes on to show the
position of the selector lever (i.e. “PARK”, “DRIVE”,
“REVERSE”, etc.).
B- “N” indicator
When the “N” indicator blinks while you are driving, there
could be a malfunction in the automatic transaxle. (If the
selector lever position is in the “P” (PARK), “R”
(REVERSE) or “N” (NEUTRAL) position, the indicator
does not blink.)
CAUTION
!If a malfunction occurs in the automatic transaxle
while driving, the “N” indicator will blink.
In this case, immediately park your vehicle in a safe
place and follow these procedure:
(The “N” indicator warning function does not oper-
ate with the selector lever in the “P” (PARK), “R”
(REVERSE) or “N” (NEUTRAL) position.)
[The “N” indicator blinks rapidly (twice per sec-
ond)]
The automatic transaxle fluid is overheating.
Park your vehicle in a safe place but do not turn off
the engine. Move the selector lever to the “P”
(PARK) position and open the engine hood. Keep
the engine idling.
After a while, move the selector lever to the “D”
(DRIVE) position and confirm that the “N” indica-
tor stops blinking. It is safe to continue driving if the
“N” indicator no longer blinks.
If the “N” indicator continues blinking or blinks
intermittently, have your vehicle inspected by an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair
facility of your choice.
[The “N” indicator blinks slowly (once per second)]
The automatic transaxle safety device may be oper-
ating due to a malfunction.
Have your vehicle inspected by an authorized Mit-
subishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice as soon as possible.
