Selector lever positions (Main gate)
N00514200297
“P” PARKThis position locks the transaxle to prevent the vehicle from
moving. The engine can be started from the “P” (PARK) posi-
tion.“R” REVERSEMove the lever to this position only after the vehicle has come
to a complete stop.“N” NEUTRALAt this position, the transaxle is disengaged. It is the same as
the neutral position on a manual transaxle and should be used
when the vehicle is not moving for an extended length of time
during driving, such as in a traffic jam.
CAUTION
!If a malfunction occurs in the automatic transaxle
while driving, the warning display or the
warning display will appear on the information
screen in the multi-information display.
In this case, immediately park your vehicle in a safe
place and follow these procedures:
When warning display is showing
The automatic transaxle fluid is overheating. Stop
your vehicle in a safe place, put the selector lever in
the “P” position, and open the engine hood with the
engine running to allow the engine to cool down.
After a while, confirm that the warning display is
no longer showing. It is safe to continue driving if
the display is no longer showing. If the warning dis-
play remains or flashes frequently, have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
When warning display is showing
It may be that there is something unusual happening
in the automatic transaxle, causing a safety device to
activate. Have your vehicle inspected by an autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of
your choice as soon as possible.
CAUTION
!Never shift into the “P” (PARK) or “R”
(REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in motion.
If the lever is shifted into the “P” (PARK) or “R”
(REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in motion,
the transaxle may be damaged.
WA R N I N G
!Never move the selector lever to the “N” (NEU-
TRAL) position while driving since you could acci-
dentally slip it into the “P” (PARK) or “R”
(REVERSE) position, damaging the transaxle.

“D” DRIVEThis position is used for most city and highway driving. Engine
shifting and braking are done automatically as needed, depend-
ing on road conditions.NOTEFor information on manual gate operation, please refer to
“Sports mode” on page 3-98.
Sports mode
N00514400358
Whether the vehicle is stationary or in motion, sports mode is
selected by gently pushing the selector lever from the “D”
(DRIVE) position into the manual gate. To return to “D” opera-
tion, gently push the selector lever back into the main gate.
In sports mode, rapid gear shifting is possible simply by oper-
ating the selector lever or sportronic steering wheel paddle
shifter.
Unlike the manual transaxle, sports mode allows gear shifts
with the accelerator pedal depressed.NOTEFor vehicles equipped with the sportronic steering wheel
paddle shifter, sports mode can be selected by shifting
gears even when the selector lever is in the main gate (2).
Also, you can return to the “D” operation in any of fol-
lowing ways.
When returning to “D” operation, the selector lever posi-
tion display will change to “D” (DRIVE) position.
• Pull the + (SHIFT UP) side sportronic steering wheel
paddle shifter forward (toward the driver) for over 2 sec-
onds.
• Stop the vehicle
• Push the selector lever from the “D” (DRIVE) position
into the manual gate (A) and push the selector lever
back into the main gate (B).
To prevent the vehicle from rolling when stopped on
a slope, the engine should be started in the “P”
(PARK) position, not in “N” (NEUTRAL) position.Always keep your foot on the brake pedal when the
vehicle is in “N” (NEUTRAL) position, or when
shifting into or out of “N” (NEUTRAL) position, to
prevent rolling.
CAUTION
!Never shift into the “D” (DRIVE) position from the
“R” (REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in
motion to avoid a transaxle damage.

ParkingTo park the vehicle, first bring it to a complete stop, fully
engage the parking brake, and then move the selector lever to
the “P” (PARK) position.When the automatic transaxle makes no gear changeIf the transaxle does not change gears while driving, or your
vehicle does not pick up enough speed when starting on an
uphill slope, it may be that there is something unusual happen-
ing in the transaxle, causing a safety device to activate. Have
your vehicle checked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer or a repair facility of your choice as soon as possible.NOTEWhen the warning display and “SLOW DOWN” or the
warning display and “SERVICE REQUIRED” appear
on the information screen in the multi-information dis-
play, there could be a malfunction in the automatic tran-
saxle. Refer to “Automatic transaxle: Warning display”
on page 3-96.
Continuously variable transmission (CVT)
(if so equipped)
N00560200021
The CVT is capable of changing the engine speed to vehicle
speed ratio automatically and steplessly to suit driving condi-
tions in all phases of vehicle operation. It therefore realizes
smooth, shock-free operation and excellent fuel efficiency.DRIVING UPHILLThe transmission may not shift to a higher ratio if the computer
determines your current speed would be affected.
For smoother operation, the transmission may not shift if you
release the throttle while climbing a steep hill. This is normal
because the computer controls the shifting. After reaching the
top of the hill, your normal shift function will resume.DRIVING DOWNHILLWhen traveling down steep grades and using the brakes, the
computer may automatically shift to a lower ratio. This helps
engine braking efforts, reducing your need to use the brakes.
CAUTION
!Automatic downshifts may not take place if the con-
tinuously variable transmission (CVT) fluid is still
cool immediately after you start driving. To cause a
downshift, depress the brake pedal or shift down
manually.
Always drive safely in accordance with road condi-
tions.
