Retracting and extending the
outside mirrors
E00601102126
The outside mirror can be folded in towards the side window to prevent damage when
parking in narrow areas.
CAUTIONl Do not drive the vehicle with the mirror fol-
ded in.
The lack of rearward visibility normally pro-
vided by the mirror could lead to an acci- dent.
Retracting and extending the
mirrors using the mirror re- tractor switch
With the operation mode in ON or ACC,push the mirror retractor switch to retract the
mirrors. Push it again to extend the mirrors to their original positions.
After placing the operation mode in OFF, it is possible to retract and extend the mirrors us-
ing the mirror retractor switch for approxi-
mately 30 seconds.
CAUTIONl It is possible to retract and extend the mir-
rors by hand. After retracting a mirror using
the mirror retractor switch, however, you should extend it by using the switch again,
not by hand. If you extended the mirror by
hand after retracting it using the switch, it would not properly lock in position. As a re-
sult, it could move because of the wind or
vibration while you are driving, taking away your rearward visibility.NOTEl Be careful not to get your hands trapped
while a mirror is moving.
l If you move a mirror by hand or it moves af-
ter hitting a person or object, you may not be
able to return it to its original position using the mirror retractor switch. If this happens,
push the mirror retractor switch to place the mirror in its retracted position and then push
the switch again to return the mirror to its original position.
l When freezing has occurred and mirrors fail
to operate as intended, please refrain from repeated pushing of the retractor switch as
this action can result in burn-out of the mir- ror motor circuits.

Selector lever (Joystick
type) E00636100096Selector lever operation
E00636200097
The selector lever always returns to its home
( ● ) position when it is released.
The position you select with the selector lev- er will be illuminated on the shift position
panel shown in the illustration below.
Move the selector lever slowly and securely
in the following method.
l To select “D” (DRIVE) or “R” (RE-
VERSE):
Move the selector lever in the direction of the arrow.
l To select “N” (NEUTRAL):
Move the selector lever in the direction
of the arrow and hold it for a while.
l To select “B” (REGENERATIVE
BRAKE):
Move the selector lever in the direction
of the arrow.
The “B” (REGENERATIVE BRAKE) posi-
tion can only be selected while the select po- sition is in the “D” (DRIVE) position. Whenthe selector lever is moved to the “B” posi-
tion, the regenerative brake force will be- come stronger.
When the selector lever is again moved to the
“B” position, the maximum regenerative brake force will be used.
To return to the “D” position, use the selector
lever to select the “D” position.NOTEl If you operate the selector lever to “B” twice
too quickly, the regenerative brake force
may not become the maximum.WARNINGl Do not replace the selector lever knob
with anything other than a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS genuine part. In addition, do
not hang an object on the selector lever as it may be the cause of an accident.
l When you shift the selector lever to “D”
or “R” position, always depress the brake
pedal with your right foot for your safety. Never shift the lever while depressing the
accelerator pedal. Doing so will start your vehicle abruptly, which may lead to a seri-ous accident. It may also be a cause of
failure of the vehicle.
