NOTElTo minimize the likelihood of excessive ac-
cumulation of PM, try to avoid driving for long periods at low speeds and repeatedly
driving short distances, and try to keep high
engine speed driving as much as possible.
l The engine sounds slightly different than
usual while the DPF automatically burns
away trapped PM. The change in the engine
sound does not indicate a fault.
DPF warning lamp
The DPF warning lamp comes on in the
event of an abnormality in the DPF system.
If the DPF warning lamp
comes on during vehicle opera- tion
Steady illumination of the DPF warning lamp shows that the DPF has not been able to burn
away all of the trapped PM and that, as a re-
sult, an excessive amount of PM has accumu- lated inside it. To enable the DPF to burn
away the PM, try to drive the vehicle as fol-
lows:
l With the bar graph of engine coolant
temperature display stabilized in roughly
the middle of the scale, drive for approx- imately 20 minutes at a speed of at least
40 km/h (25 mph).

If the DPF warning lamp subsequently stays
on, contact your MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.
CAUTIONl You do not have to continuously drive ex-
actly as indicated above. Always strive to
drive safely in accordance with road condi- tions.If the DPF warning lamp flash-
es during vehicle operation
Flashing of the DPF warning lamp indicates an abnormality in the DPF system. Have the system inspected by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
CAUTIONl Continuing to drive with the DPF warning
lamp flashing could result in engine trouble and DPF damage.Turbocharger operation*
E00611200083CAUTIONlDo not run the engine at high speeds (for ex-
ample, by revving it or by accelerating rap-
idly) 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 turbocharger a
chance to cool down.

3. Release the clutch pedal. The engine willstop automatically.NOTEl When the engine is automatically stopped,
changes will occur in the driving operations.
Pay close attention to the following.
• The brake booster becomes inoperative
and the pedal effort will increase.
If the vehicle is moving, press down the brake pedal harder than usual.CAUTIONl Observe the following precautions when the
engine is stopped automatically. Otherwise,
an unexpected accident might occur when the engine restarts automatically.CAUTION• Do not depress the accelerator pedal to
race the engine while the vehicle is stop-
ped (regardless of whether the engine is running or stopped).
Otherwise, an unexpected accident might
occur when the engine restarts automati- cally.
• When the engine is automatically stopped,
do not attempt to exit the vehicle. Because
the engine restarts automatically when the driver’s seat belt is unfastened or the driv-
er’s door is opened, an unexpected acci-
dent might occur when the vehicle starts moving.
• Do not move the gearshift lever to a posi-
tion other than the “N” (Neutral) position.
If the gearshift lever is moved to a posi-
tion other than the “N” (Neutral) position, the indication lamp/indicator displayblinks and the buzzer sounds.
If the gearshift lever is returned to the “N” (Neutral) position, the indication lamp
stops blinking and the buzzer stops sound-
ing. The engine will not restart if the gear-
shift lever is in a position other than the “N” (Neutral) position.NOTEl In the following cases, the “AS&G” indica-
tion lamp will blink to inform the driver and
the engine will not stop automatically.
• Driver’s seat belt is not fastened.NOTE•Driver’s door is opened.
• Bonnet is open.
l In the following cases, the “AS&G” indica-
tion lamp will turn off and the engine will
not stop automatically.
• After the engine restarts automatically,
the vehicle speed has not exceeded ap- proximately 5 km/h (3 mph).
• After the engine start, approximately 30
seconds or more have not elapsed.
• After the engine restarts automatically
and the vehicle stops again within 10 sec-
onds.
• Engine coolant temperature is low.
• Ambient temperature is low.
• When the heater is operated, vehicle indi-
cator temperature is not still hot enough.
• Air conditioning is operating and passen-
ger compartment has not sufficientlycooled.
• Demister switch is pressed.
Refer to “Demisting of the windscreen
and door windows: For quick demisting”
on page 7-16.
• When the air conditioner is operated in
the AUTO mode where the temperature
control is set to max. hot or max. cool (for
vehicles with automatic climate air condi- tioning).
• When the diesel particulate filter (DPF)
automatically burns away trapped particu- late matter (PM).

stop automatically even if “AS&G” indica-
tion lamp turn on.
• Push the accelerator pedal.
• Brake booster vacuum pressure is low.
• Operate the steering wheel.
• Parking on steep hill.
l Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal
while driving because this will cause detec-
tion of clutch pedal malfunction and blink-
ing of AS&G OFF display/indicator, and AS&G system will not operate.
l If the AS&G system operates while the air
conditioner is operating, both the engine and
the air conditioning compressor will stop.
Therefore, only the blower will operate, the windows may start to fog up. If this occurs,
press the demister switch to restart the en- gine.
Refer to “Demister switch” on page 7-15.
NOTEl If the windows become fogged up each time
the engine is stopped, we recommend you to
deactivate the AS&G system by pressing the
“AS&G OFF” switch. Refer to “To deacti- vate” on page 6-26.
l If the air conditioner is operating, set the
temperature control higher to lengthen the
time that the engine is stopped automatical- ly.Automatically restarting the
engine
E00627601265
Depress the clutch pedal while the gearshift lever is in the “N” (Neutral) position. The in- dication lamp turns off and the engine restarts
automatically.
NOTEl Do not move the gearshift lever to a position
other than the “N” (Neutral) position or do
not release the clutch pedal while the engine is restarting automatically. The starter motor will stop and the engine will not restart auto-
matically.NOTEl If the engine does not restart automatically
or if the engine stalls, the charge warning lamp and check engine warning lamp will il-
luminate.
If this occurs, the engine will not restart even if the clutch pedal is depressed again. While depressing the brake pedal, fully de-press the clutch pedal and turn the ignition
switch to the “START” position or press the engine switch to start the engine.
For details, refer to “Starting and stopping
the engine” on page 6-17.CAUTIONl In the following cases, the engine will restart
automatically even if the engine was stopped

when the engine restarts.
• Vehicle speed is 3 km/h (2 mph) or higher
when coasting down a slope.
• Brake booster vacuum pressure is low be-
cause the brake pedal is depressed repeat- edly or depressed harder than usual.
• Engine coolant temperature is low.
• When the air conditioner is operated by
pressing the air conditioning switch.
