When the gearshift lever position display is not showing
A safety device in the Twin Clutch SST has been activated due
to a possible malfunction in the Twin Clutch SST.
Refer to “If the gearshift lever position display is not showing”
on page 3-109 and follow the appropriate measures.
When warning display is showing or when no warning is
showing in the multi-information display
A safety device in the Twin Clutch SST has been activated due
to a possible malfunction in the Twin Clutch SST or in the
engine electronic control module.
Perform the following procedure.
1. Park your vehicle in a safe place and stop the engine.
2. Restart the engine.
If the vehicle moves and accelerates normally after this proce-
dure is performed, there is no malfunction in the transmission.
However, if the vehicle does not move or accelerate normally,
or if this problem occurs repeatedly, have the vehicle checked
by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility
of your choice as soon as possible.
All-wheel drive system
(if so equipped)
N00516400033
All-wheel drive vehicles are propelled by engine power distrib-
uted constantly and appropriately to all four wheels.
Not only does this ensure enhanced handling on dry, paved
roads but also permits better traction when driving on slippery,
wet or snow-covered roads and when moving out of mud.
These vehicles, however, are not designed for off-road use,
and are unsuitable for driving on bumpy ground that may
cause excessive strain. All-wheel drive vehicles should be
driven only under the same conditions as are suitable for ordi-
nary front-wheel drive vehicles.
CAUTION
!
When the Twin Clutch SST fluid temperature is
high, the engine idle speed when the vehicle is
stopped may increase or the vehicle will have a weak
tendency to creep.
After that, if the Twin Clutch SST fluid temperature
rises even higher, the warning display will
appear.

Towing the vehicle by a tow truck
Towing manual transaxle vehicles with rear wheels off
the ground (Type B)Place the gearshift lever in the “Neutral” position.
Turn the ignition switch to the “ACC” position and secure the
steering wheel in a straight-ahead position with a rope or tie-
down strap. Never place the ignition switch in the “LOCK”
position when towing.Towing with front wheels off the ground (Type C)Release the parking brake.
Place the gearshift lever in the “Neutral” position (manual
transaxle) or the selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) posi-
tion (CVT).
CAUTION
!
This vehicle must not be towed by a tow truck using
sling lift type equipment (Type A) as illustrated.
Using a sling lift will damage the bumper and front
end.
Do not tow all-wheel drive vehicles with the front or
rear wheels on the ground (Type B or Type C) as
illustrated. This could result in the driving system
damage or vehicle may jump at the carriage.
If you tow all-wheel drive vehicles, use Type D or
Type E equipment.
Do not tow continuously variable transmission
(CVT) vehicles with the driving wheels on the
ground (Type B) as illustrated. If the vehicle is
towed like this, the continuously variable transmis-
sion (CVT) fluid may not reach all parts of the
transmission, thus damaging it.
If you tow CVT vehicles, use Type C, D or E equip-
ment.
If the manual transaxle is malfunctioning or dam-
aged, transport the vehicle with the driving wheels
on a carriage (Type C, D or E) as illustrated.

[For front-wheel drive vehicle equipped with the
active stability control (ASC)]
If the vehicle is towed with the ignition switch in the
“ON” position and only the front wheels raised off
the ground (Type C), the ASC may operate, result-
ing in an accident. When towing the vehicle with the
front wheels raised, keep the ignition switch in the
“LOCK” or “ACC” position.
WARNING
!
To prevent entry of exhaust gas from the towing
vehicle, set the selection switch to the recirculation
position.
