Diesel particulate filter(DPF) E00619801457
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 automatically burns away trapped PM during vehicle operation. Under
certain driving conditions, however, the DPF is not able to burn away all of the trapped PM
and, as a result, an excessive amount of PM accumulates inside it.WARNINGl 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.CAUTIONl Do not use any type of fuel or engine oil that
is not specified for your vehicle. Also, do not use any moisture-removing agent or oth-
er fuel additive. Such substances could have a detrimental effect on the DPF.
Refer to “Fuel selection” on page 2-02 and
“Engine oil” on page 10-05.NOTEl 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, 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.Turbocharger
The turbocharger increases engine power by
pushing large amounts of air into the engine’s
cylinders. The finned parts inside the turbo- charger turn at extremely high speeds and aresubjected to extremely high temperatures.
They are lubricated and cooled by engine oil.
If the engine oil is not replaced at the speci- fied intervals, the bearings may seize or emit
abnormal noise.

Auto Stop & Go (AS&G)
system* E00627401104
The Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system auto- matically stops and restarts the engine with- out operating the ignition switch or engineswitch when the vehicle is stopped, such as at
a traffic light or in a traffic jam, to reduce ex- haust gases, increase fuel efficiency.CAUTIONl If the vehicle will be stopped for a long time
or if you will leave the vehicle unattended,
stop the engine.NOTEl The accumulated time the engine has been
stopped by the AS&G system is displayed in
the multi information display. Refer to “Au-
to Stop & Go monitor” on page 5-05.Automatically stopping the en-

Manual transmission*
E00602002151
The shift pattern is shown on the gearshift lever knob. To start off, depress the clutch
pedal all the way down and shift into 1 st
or
“R” (Reverse) position.
Then operate the gearshift lever slowly. Af- terwards gradually release the clutch pedal
while depressing the accelerator pedal.CAUTIONl Do not put the gearshift lever into the re-
verse position while the vehicle is moving forward. Doing so could damage the trans-
mission.
l Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal
while driving as this will cause premature
clutch wear or damage.
l Do not coast in the “N” (Neutral) position.
l Do not use the gearshift lever as a hand rest,
because this can result in premature wear of
the transmission shift forks.
l Quick or slight clutch engagement made
while the engine is running at high speed
will cause damage to the clutch and trans-
mission because the traction force is very great.NOTEl During cold weather, shifting may be diffi-
cult until the transmission lubricant has
warmed up. This is normal and not harmful
to the transmission.
l If it is hard to shift into 1 st
, depress the
clutch pedal again; the shift will then be eas-
ier to make.
l In case of hot weather condition or long time
cruising with high speed, a speed limitation
function may work to restrict the oil temper-
ature rising of the manual transmission. Af- ter the oil temperature drops to the appropri-
ate level, the speed limitation function is cancelled.
l The gearshift indicator shows recommended
gearshift points for fuel-efficient driving. It
shows a
when an upshift is recommen-
ded.
