Check engine warning lamp
E00502600093
This lamp is a part of an onboard diagnostic sys- tem which monitors the emissions, engine and automatic transmission control systems. If a problem is detected
in one of these systems,
this lamp illuminates. Although your vehicle will usually be drivable and not need towing, we recommend you to havethe system checked as soon as possible. This lamp will also illuminate for a few seconds when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON”position. If it does not go off after a few seconds, we recommend you to have the vehicle checked.
NOTE●
The engine electr
onic control module
accommodating the onboard diagnostic sys- tem has various fault data (especially about the exhaust emission) stored.This data will be erased
if a battery cable is
disconnected which will make a rapid diag- nosis difficult. Do not disconnect a batterycable when the check engine warning lamp is ON.
CAUTION
!●
Prolonged driving with this lamp on may cause further damage to the emis- sion control system.
It could also affect
fuel economy and drivability.
●
If the lamp does not illuminate when the ignition switch is turned to the“ON” position, we recommend you to have the system checked.
●
If the lamp illuminates while the engine is running, avoid driving at high speeds and we recommend you to have the system checked.Accelerator pedal and brake pedal response may be negatively influenced under these conditions.

If the DPF warning lamp
comes on during vehicle
operationSteady illumination of the DPF warning lamp shows that the DPF has not been able to burn away all of the trapped PM and that, as a result, an excessive amount of PM has accumulatedinside it. To enable the DPF to burn away the PM, try to drive the vehicle as follows: ●
With the needle of the water temperature gauge stabilized in roughly the middle of the scale, drive for about 20 min- utes at a speed of at least 40 km/h (25 mph).
If the DPF warning lamp subsequently stays on, contact yourMITSUBISHI MOTORS Auth
orized Service Point.
If the DPF warning lamp flashes during vehicle operationFlashing of the DPF warning lamp
indicates an abnormality in
the DPF system. Have the syst
em inspected by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.

CAUTION
!●
You do not have to cont
inuously drive exactly as
indicated above. Always strive to drive safely in accordance with
road conditions.
CAUTION
!●
Continuing to drive wi
th the DPF warning lamp
flashing could result in engine trouble and DPFdamage.
CAUTION
!●
Do not move the gearshif
t lever into reverse while
the vehicle is moving forward; doing so will damage the transmission.
●

Automatic transmissi
on INVECS-II Sports
Mode 5A/T (Intellige
nt & Innovative Vehi-
cle Electronic Control System II)
E00603200101
Designed for optimum control and equipped with adaptive con- trol capabilities, the electronica
lly controlled transmission opti-
mally matches gear shifts to almost all driving and roadconditions.NOTE●
During running-in period or immediately after reconnec- tion of the battery cable, there may be a case where gear shifts are not made smoothly. This does not indicate afaulty transmission. Gear shifts will become smoot
h after the transmission has
been shifted several times by
the electronic control sys-
tem.
Selector lever operation
E00603300522
The transmission has 5 forwar
d gears and 1 reverse gear.
The individual gears are select
ed automatically, depending on
the position of the gear
selector lever, the speed of the vehicle
and the position of the accelerator pedal.The selector lever has 2 gates; the main gate (1) and the manual gate (2).
CAUTION
!●
This system is strictly in
tended to provide supple-
mentary functions. When travelling downhill under certain conditions or immedi
ately after st
arting off
when the automatic transmission is cold, no auto-matic shiftdown may be made. The driver should shiftdown to a lower gear to use engine braking. Try to drive safely at all time.

E00603800400
“P” PARKThis position locks the transmis
sion to prevent the vehicle
from moving. The engine can be started in this position.“R” REVERSEThis position is to back up.
“N” NEUTRALAt this position the transmission is disengaged. It is the same as the neutral position on a M/T, and should only be used when the vehicle is stationary for an extended length of time during driving, such as in a traffic jam.“D” DRIVEThis position is for normal driving. The transmission automati- cally selects a suitable gear
for your speed and acceleration.
Engine braking is automatical
ly applied when necessary,
depending on road conditions.
CAUTION
!●
Never shift into the “P” (PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position while
the vehicle is in motion
to avoid a transmission damage.
WARNING
!●
Never move the selector lever to the “N” (NEU- TRAL) position while driv
ing. A serious accident
could occur since you coul
d accidentally move the
lever into the “P” (PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) posi- tion or you will lose engine braking.
●
On a gradient the engine should be started in the “P” (PARK) position, not in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
●
Always keep your right
foot on the brake pedal
when shifting into or out of “N” (NEUTRAL), to minimize the risk of loss of control.CAUTION
!●
Never shift into the “D” (DRIVE) position from the “R” (REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in motion to avoid transmission damage.

Sports mode
E00603900892
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 (A). To return to “D” range operation, gently push the selector lever back into themain gate (B). In sports mode, gear shifts can be made rapidly simply by mov- ing the selector lever backward
and forward. In contrast to a
manual transmission, the sports
mode allows gear shifts with
the accelerator pedal depressed. + (SHIFT UP) Push the lever forward on
ce to shift up one gear.
— (SHIFT DOWN) Pull the lever backward once to shift down one gear.
SHIFT UP
SHIFT DOWN
CAUTION
!●
In sports mode, the driver must execute upward shifts in accordance with
prevailing road conditions,
taking care to keep the
engine speed below the red
zone.
●
By rapidly moving the
selector lever backward
(SHIFT DOWN) twice, it is possible to skip one gear, i.e., 3rd to 1st, 4th to 2nd or 5th to 3rd. Since sudden engine braking and/or ra
pid acceleration can cause
a loss of traction, however,
downshifts must be made
carefully in accordance
with the vehicle’s speed.

NOTE●
On petrol-powered vehicles, the upward shift may be made automatically in sports mode when the engine revo- lutions rises and approaches
the tachometer’s red zone
(the red-coloured part
of the tachometer dial).
●
In sports mode, only the 5 forward gears can be selected. To reverse or park the vehicle, move the selector lever to the “R” (REVERSE) or “P” (P
ARK) position as required.
●
To maintain good running performance, the transmission may refuse to perform an upshift when the selector lever is moved to the “+ (SHIFT UP)” position at certain vehi-cle speeds. Also, to prevent
over-revving of the engine,
the transmission may refuse to perform a downshift when the lever is moved to the “— (SHIFT DOWN)” position atcertain vehicle speeds.
●
In sports mode, downward shifts are made automatically when the vehicle slows down.
When the vehicle stops, 1st
gear is automatically selected.
●
When driving away on a slippe
ry road, push the selector
lever forward into the “+
(SHIFT UP)” position. This
causes the transmission to shift into the 2nd gear which is better for smooth driving away on a slippery road. Push the selector lever to the “— (SHIFT DOWN)” side to shiftback to the 1st gear.
Sports mode indicator
E00612300254
In sports mode, the currently selected position is indicated by the indicator (A) shown on the instrument panel.NOTE●
When sports mode is select
ed, the “D” indicator goes off.
