Operation of the CVT
N00560800043
CAUTION
!
If a malfunction occurs in the CVT while driving,
the indicator will brink.
In this case, immediately park your vehicle in a safe
place and follow these procedures:
[If the indicator blinks rapidly (once per second),
the CVT fluid is overheating.]
Park your vehicle in a safe place but do not turn off
the engine. Move the selector lever to the “P”
(PARK) position and open the bonnet. Keep the
engine, idling.
After a while, move the selector lever into any posi-
tion other than “P” (PARK) position and confirm
that the indicator stops blinking. It is safe to con-
tinue driving if the indicator no longer blinks.
If the indicator continues blinking or blinks inter-
mittently, have your vehicle inspected at an autho-
rised Mitsubishi Motors dealer or repair facility of
your choice.
[If the indicator blinks slowly (once per 2 seconds),
the CVT safety device may be operating due to a
malfunction.]
Have the vehicle inspected at an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer or repair facility of your
choice as soon as possible.
CAUTION
!
Before selecting a position with the engine running
and the vehicle stationary, firmly depress the brake
pedal to prevent the vehicle from creeping.
The vehicle will begin to move as soon as the CVT is
engaged, especially when the engine speed or idle
speed is high, or with the air conditioning operating.
Do not release the brake pedal until you are ready to
drive away.
Depress the brake pedal with the right foot at all
times.
Using the left foot could cause driver movement
delay in case of an emergency.
To prevent sudden acceleration, never run the
engine at high rpms when shifting from the “P”
(PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL).
Operating the accelerator pedal while the other foot
is resting on the brake pedal will affect braking effi-
ciency and may cause premature wear of brake
pads.
Use the selector lever in the correct shift position in
accordance with driving conditions.
Never coast downhill backward in the driving shift
position “D” (DRIVE) or coast forward in the “R”
(REVERSE) position.
Engine stopping and increased brake pedal and
steering effort could lead to an accident.
