NOTE
Gears can only be selected in a forward direction from 1st
gear to 6th gear. To reverse or park the vehicle, move the
selector lever to the “R” or “P” position.

To maintain good running performance, the transaxle may
refuse to perform an upshift when the selector lever is
moved to the “+ (SHIFT UP)” position at certain vehicle
speeds. Also, to prevent over-revving of the engine, the
transaxle may refuse to perform a downshift when the
lever is moved to the “- (SHIFT DOWN)” position at cer-
tain vehicle speeds. When this happens, a buzzer sounds
to indicate that a downshift is not going to take place.

When pulling away from a standstill on a slippery road,
push the selector lever forward to the + (SHIFT UP) posi-
tion to select 2nd gear. Push the selector lever to the -
(SHIFT DOWN) side to shift back to 1st gear.
+ (SHIFT UP)
The transaxle shifts up by one gear with each operation.
- (SHIFT DOWN)
The transaxle shifts down by one gear with each operation.
CAUTION
!
Upward shifts do not take place automatically in
sports mode. The driver must make upward shifts in
accordance with prevailing road conditions, making
sure the engine revolutions remain below the red
zone on the tachometer.
Repeated continuous operation of the selector lever
or the sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter will
continuously switch shift position.SHIFT

Sports mode display
N00538800167
In sports mode, the currently selected gear is displayed on the
information screen in the multi-information display.NOTE
While driving in sports mode, the sports mode display
may change to show “D” and shifting in sports mode may
no longer be possible.
This indicates that controls to drive in the “D” position are
operating normally in order to lower the temperature of
the automatic transaxle fluid; it does not indicate a mal-
function. Once the temperature of the automatic transaxle
fluid drops, shifting in the sports mode will be possible
again.

CAUTION
!
Before selecting a gear 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 gear 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 sports mode} or coast for-
ward in the “R” (REVERSE) position.
Engine stopping and increased brake pedal and
steering effort could lead to an accident.

heating.
At that time, the drive system of your vehicle is auto-
matically switched to front wheel drive from all
wheel drive. Reduce your speed to cool down the S-
AW C .
After driving for a while, if the S-AWC control
modes display stops blinking and the “SLOW
DOWN” on the information screen in the multi-
information display disappears, the drive system of
your vehicle will return to the all wheel drive.
If the S-AWC control mode display continues blink-
ing for more than about 5 minutes, have the vehicle
inspected at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer
or a repair facility of your choice.
