Using the gearshift lever (A) or the sportronicsteering wheel shifters (B), shifting can beperformed manually.
Shifting can be performed even while the accelerator pedal is depressed. This allows the driver to enjoy sporty driving, such as quick cornering, by nimbly down-shifting to reduce vehi
cle speed just before
entering a curve.
To shift from “Sport” mode to “Normal” mode
NOTE
 If the Twin Clutch SST control mode switch is continuously pressed after a control modehas been selected, an erroneous operation prevention function operates and the control mode is automatically set to the “Normal”mode. If you would like to select a control mode again, return the ignition switch to the“ACC” or “LOCK” position and restart the engine. Then, push the Twin Clutch SST control mode switch.

Manual shift

CAUTION When manually shifting while the vehicle is being driven, select the correct shift position to control the engine speed so that the tachometer indicator does not enter the redzone. Sudden engine braking and rapid accelera- tion can cause the vehicle to skid. Shift down according to road conditions and vehicle speed. If both the left and right sportronic steering wheel shifters are operated at the same time,the transmission may not change gears.NOTE
 Only the forward gears 1 to 6 can be selected. To reverse or park, place the gearshift lever in the “R” (REVERSE) or “P” (PARK) posi-tion.  During manual shifting, downshifting will be performed automatically when the vehicle slows down and the transmission will down- shift to 1st gear before the vehicle stops.

WA R N I N G On vehicles with continuously variable transmission (CVT) or Twin Clutch SST, although the cruise control will be disen-gaged when shifting to the “N” (NEU- TRAL) position, never move the selector lever (CVT) or the gearshift lever (TwinClutch SST) to the “N” (NEUTRAL) posi- tion while driving. You would have no engine braking andthis could cause a serious accident.CAUTION When the set speed driving is deactivated automatically in any situation other than those listed above, there may be a systemmalfunction. Press the “ON OFF” switch to turn off the cruise control and have your vehicleinspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.

N00628800165
Fuel economy is dependent on many factors. Your personal driving habits can have a sig-nificant effect on your fuel use. Several rec- ommendations for achieving the greatest fuel economy are listed below.  Whenever accelerating from a stop, always accelerate slowly and smoothly. When parked for even a short period, do not idle the engine. Shut it off.  Plan your trips to avoid unnecessary stops.  Keep your tires inflated to the recom- mended pressures. When you drive on highways or dry improved roads, set the drive mode-selec- tor “2WD” or “4WD AUTO” position (ifso equipped).  For freeway driving, maintain a speed of approximately 50 mph (80 km/h) whentraffic, roadway and weather conditions safely permit.  Keep your air filter clean and your vehicle lubricated according to the recommenda- tions in this manual.  Always keep your vehicle well main- tained. A poorly maintained engine wastes fuel and costs money.  Do not overload your vehicle.
N00628900052
Drunk driving is one of the most frequent causes of accidents.Your driving ability can be seriously impaired even with blood alcohol levels far below the legal minimum. If you have been drinking,don’t drive. Ride with a designated non- drinking driver, call a cab or a friend, or use public transportation. Drinking coffee or tak-ing a cold shower will not make you sober.Similarly, prescription and nonprescription drugs affect your alertness, perception and reaction time. Consult with your doctor orpharmacist before driving while under the influence of any of these medications.
N00628600017
The original equipment floor mat providedwith your vehicle was specifically designed for your vehicle. Always properly positionthe floor mat and assure it does not interfere with operation of the pedals. Always use the
retaining clip on the driver’s floorboard to secure the floor mat. When used, this clip will help prevent the floor mat from moving for- ward and possibly interfering with the opera-tion of the pedals. To prevent the floor mat from moving forward and possibly interfering with the operation of the pedals, Mitsubishigenuine floor mats are recommended.
N00628700050
1. Place the floor mat to fit the shape of thefloorboard.2. Align the floor mat with the installation holes over the retaining clips. 3. Secure the floor mat with retaining clips.
