To maintain good running performance, the transmission may refuse to perform an upshift when the sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter is moved to the “+(SHIFT UP)” position at certain vehicle speeds.Also, to prevent over-revving of the engine, the transmission may refuse to perform a downshift when the sportronic steeringwheel paddle shifter is moved to the “- (SHIFT DOWN)” position at certain vehicle speeds. When this happens, a buzzer soundsto indicate that a downshift is not going to take place. Do not operate sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter violently. Excessive force could damage the sportronic steering wheelpaddle shifter.
Sports mode display
NOTE
NOTE
While driving in sports mode, the sports mode display may change to show “D” and shifting in sports mode may no longer bepossible. This indicates that controls to drive in the “D” position are operating normally in orderto lower the temperature of the continuously variable transmission (CVT) fluid; it does not indicate a malfunction. Once the temper-ature of the continuously variable transmis- sion (CVT) fluid drops, shifting in the sports mode will be possible again.
Operation of the CVT
CAUTION Before selecting a position with the engine running and the vehicle stationary, fully depress the brake pedal to prevent the vehi- cle from creeping.Do not release the brakes until you are ready to drive away. The vehicle will begin to move as soon as the CVT is engaged, espe-cially when the engine speed is high (fast idle or air conditioning on). Depress the brake pedal with the right foot. Using the left foot could cause driver move- ment delay in case of an emergency. To prevent sudden acceleration, never run the engine at high rpms when shifting fromthe “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL) posi- tion. Operating the accelerator pedal while the other foot is resting on the brake pedal will affect braking efficiency and may cause pre-mature wear of brake pads. Use the selector lever in the correct shift position in accordance with driving condi- tions. Never coast downhill backward in the driv- ing shift position { “D” (DRIVE), “L” (LOW) or sports mode} or coast forward inthe “R” (REVERSE) position. Engine stopping and increased brake pedal and steering effort could lead to an accident.

When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, the gearshift lever position isshown on the multi-information display. In addition, when the vehicle is driven with the gearshift lever in the “D” (DRIVE) posi-tion, the forward gear number is shown.
The pull-ring (D) must be pulled up while the brake pedal is depressed to move the gearshift lever. The gearshift lever will move without pulling up the pull-ring (D). The pull-ring (D) must be pulled up to move the gearshift lever.
WA R N I N G If the pull-ring is always pulled up when using the gearshift lever, the gearshift lever may be accidentally shifted into the “P” (PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position. Do not pull up the pull-ring when making shifts shown by in the illustration. Always depress the brake pedal when shifting the gearshift lever into another position from the “P” (PARK) or “N” When beginning to drive, do not shift the gearshift lever from the “P” (PARK) or“N” (NEUTRAL) position while depress- ing the accelerator pedal. Doing so is dan- gerous because the vehicle will “jump”forward or backward.NOTE
For a shift indicated by in the illustration, depress the brake pedal before moving the gearshift lever. If you attempt to move thegearshift lever before depressing the brake pedal, the gearshift lever will be immovable. Do not accelerate immediately after moving the gearshift lever. It may take some time for the transmission to shift to the selected gear. When the gearshift lever is operated when the Twin Clutch SST fluid temperature islow, the time required to shift to the selected gear may be longer than usual.

If this occurs, perform the following proce- dure. 1. Park your vehicle in a safe place and stop the engine. 2. Restart the engine. If the warning display goes out, there is no abnormal condition. However, if the warning display remains on or comes on frequently, have the vehicle checked by an authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer or a repair facility of your choice as soon as possible.
CAUTION If the warning display is shown, such as when the vehicle does not accelerate while traveling even if the accelerator pedal is depressed, the vehicle may not be able to bedriven normally. For safety, pay attention to your surround- ings when driving the vehicle.NOTE
If the vehicle is continuously driven on hilly roads or in an aggressive manner involving high engine rpm, sudden acceleration and/or deceleration, the vehicle transmission may vibrate.This vibration is to alert the driver that the Twin Clutch SST fluid temperature has risen. It does not indicate a malfunction.If this occurs, perform the same measures for when the warning appears. If the vibra- tion stops, the vehicle can be driven nor- mally.

When the ignition switch is set to the “ON” position, operate the Twin Clutch SST control mode switch (A) to change the control mode. When the engine is started, the control mode is automatically set to the “Normal” mode. Use the following procedures to change the control mode. While the vehicle is stopped or being driven, push the Twin Clutch SST control modeswitch forward.
Tw i n Clutch SST con-trol mode
Characteristic
Normal (Control mode when engine is started)
Control mode for normal driv- ing on local roads, freeways, and the like.Smooth shifting is performed at low engine speeds for eco- nomical driving with good ride quality.
Sport
Control mode for driving on mountain roads, roads with uphill and downhill slopes, and freeways with long down- hill slopes where engine brak- ing is necessary.Compared to “Normal” mode, shifting occurs at higher engine speeds and is quicker. In addition, quick downshift- ing is possible when the accel- erator pedal is depressed for quick acceleration or when the brakes are applied.
NOTE
When continuously driving on closed circuit tracks or at other locations where the engine is operated at high speeds and under a heavy load, the Twin Clutch SST fluid temperature will have a tendency to rise.In this case, if the temperature rises too high, the warning display will appear on the information screen in the multi-information display to alert the driver. If the warning display appears, be sure to refer to “Warning display” on page 5-72and follow the appropriate measures. The Twin Clutch SST control mode can be selected both when “D” range operation is selected and when manual shifting is selected. If you select “Sport” mode while the engine is cold, the transmission may shift up at dif-ferent speeds compared to that when the engine is warm. This is simply the operation of the controlsystem to warm the engine quickly. It does not indicate a malfunction. For slippery road surfaces, such as roads with accumulated snow, “Normal” mode is recommended for smooth shifting at low engine speeds.

The Twin Clutch SST may not upshift to a higher shift position if the computer deter- mines the current speed cannot be maintainedonce a higher shift position is engaged. For smoother vehicle performance, if you release the throttle while climbing a steepgrade, the Twin Clutch SST may not upshift.This is normal, as the computer is temporarily preventing shifting. After reaching the top of the hill, normal shift function will resume.
When traveling down steep grades, the com- puter may automatically select a lower shift position. This function
assists engine braking
efforts, reducing the need for using the ser- vice brakes.

For short waiting periods, such as at trafficlights, the vehicle can be left in gearshift
lever position and held stationary with the service brake. For longer waiting periods with the engine running, place the gearshift lever in the “N”(NEUTRAL) position and apply the parking brake, while holding the vehicle stationary with the service brake.Prior to moving off after having stopped the vehicle, make sure that the gearshift lever is in “D” (DRIVE) position or manual shiftposition.

DRIVING UPHILL
CAUTION Do not use the tendency of the vehicle to creep forward in order to drive at low speeds up hills.The transmission may be damaged and an accident may occur due to the following con- ditions.• The Twin Clutch SST fluid temperaturewill rise and can cause transmission dam-age.
• If the vehicle is continuously driven at low speeds using the tendency of the vehicle to creep forward, the vehicle will vibrate or the warning display will appear on the information screen in the multi-information display to alert the driver that the Twin Clutch SST fluid temperature has risen.After that, if the Twin Clutch SST fluid temperature rises even higher, the transmis- sion protection control will operate.If this occurs, the vehicle may suddenly reverse as if the gearshift lever was in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position and cause an accident. If the warning display appears or the transmission protection control operates, refer to “When warning display is showing” on page 5-72.
DRIVING DOWNHILLWa i t i n g
CAUTION
CAUTION Do not rev the engine unnecessarily while the vehicle is stationary. Unexpected acceler- ation may occur if the gearshift lever is in aposition other than “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL). Do not keep the vehicle in a stopped position on an uphill slope by depressing the acceler- ator pedal instead of the brake pedal.The transmission may be damaged and an accident may occur due to the following con- ditions.• The Twin Clutch SST fluid temperaturewill rise and can cause transmission dam- age.
