NOTE

To avoid erroneous operation, move the se-
lector lever firmly into each position and
briefly hold it there. Always check the posi-
tion shown by the selector lever position dis-
play after moving the selector lever.

If the brake pedal is not depressed and held,
the shift-lock device activates to prevent the
selector lever from being moved from the
“P” (PARK) position.

When the selector lever cannot
be shifted from the “P” (PARK)
position

E00629101192

When the selector lever cannot be shifted
from the “P” (PARK) position to another po-
sition while the brake pedal is pressed and
held down with the ignition switch at the
“ON” position or the operation mode in ON,
the battery may be flat or the shift-lock
mechanism may be malfunctioning. Immedi-
ately have your vehicle checked by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point.
If you need to move the vehicle, shift the se-
lector lever as follows.

For LHD vehicles

1. Make sure the parking brake is applied.
2. Stop the engine if it is running.

cated in the multi information display.

Selector lever positions

E00603801843

“P” PARK

This position locks the transmission to pre-
vent the vehicle from moving. The engine
can be started in this position.

“R” REVERSE

This position is to back up.

CAUTION

Never shift into the “P” (PARK) or “R”
(REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in
motion to avoid transmission damage.

“N” NEUTRAL

At this position the transmission is disengag-
ed. It is the same as the neutral position on a
manual transmission, and should only be
used when the vehicle is stationary for an ex-
tended length of time during driving, such as
in a traffic jam.

WARNING

Never move the selector lever to the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position while driving. A se-
rious accident could occur since you could
accidentally move the lever into the “P”
(PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position or
you will lose engine braking.

On a gradient, the engine should be star-
ted in the “P” (PARK) position, not in the
“N” (NEUTRAL) position.

To prevent rolling, always keep your foot
on the brake pedal when the vehicle is in
“N” (NEUTRAL) position, or when shift-
ing into or out of “N” (NEUTRAL) posi-
tion.

“D” DRIVE

This position is used for most city and high-
way driving. The transmission will automati-
cally change its gear depending on road and
driving conditions.

CAUTION

To prevent transmission damage, never shift
into the “D” (DRIVE) position from the “R”
(REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in
motion.

Sport mode

E00603902681

Whether the vehicle is stationary or in mo-
tion, sports mode is selected by gently push-
ing 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 the main gate (B).

In sports mode, gear shifts can be made rap-
idly simply by moving the selector lever
backward and forward. For vehicles equipped
with the shift paddles, shift paddles at the
steering wheel can also be used to perform
gearshift. In contrast to a manual transmis-
sion, the sports mode allows gear shifts with
the accelerator pedal depressed.

NOTE

If your vehicle is equipped with shift pad-
dles, you can shift into sports mode with
shift paddles when the selector lever is in the
main gate as well. Also, you can return to
the “D” range operation in any of following
ways.
When returning to “D” range operation, the
selector lever position display will change to
“D” (DRIVE) position.

•

Pull the + (SHIFT UP) side shift paddle
forward (towards the driver) for over 2
seconds.

•

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).

SHIFT
UP

SHIFT
DOWN

SHIFT
UP

+ (SHIFT UP)

The transmission shifts up by one gear with
each operation.

- (SHIFT DOWN)

The transmission shifts down by one gear
with each operation.

CAUTION

In sports mode, the driver must execute up-
ward shifts in accordance with prevailing
road conditions, taking care to keep the en-
gine speed below the red zone.

Repeated continuous operation of the selec-
tor lever or the shift paddles will continuous-
ly switch shift position.

For vehicles equipped with the shift paddles,
do not use the left- and right-hand shift pad-
dles at the same time. Doing so could cause
a shift of gear ratio that you do not expect.

NOTE

Only the 5 forward gears can be selected. To
reverse or park the vehicle, move the selec-
tor lever to the “R” (Reverse) or “P” (Park)
position as required.

OKTE18E1

Starting and driving

NOTE

To maintain good running performance, the
transmission may refuse to perform an up-
shift when the selector lever or the shift pad-
dles are operated to the “+ (SHIFT UP)” po-
sition at certain vehicle speeds. Also, to pre-
vent over-revving of the engine, the trans-
mission may refuse to perform a downshift
when the selector lever or the shift paddles
are operated to the “— (SHIFT DOWN)”
position at certain vehicle speeds. When this
happens, a buzzer sounds to indicate that a
downshift is not going to take place.

Downward shifts are made automatically
when the vehicle slows down. When the ve-
hicle stops, 1

gear is automatically selected.

When driving away on a slippery road, push
the selector lever forward into the “+
(SHIFT UP)” position. This causes the trans-
mission to shift into the 2

gear which is

better for smooth driving away on a slippery
road. Push the selector lever to the “—
(SHIFT DOWN)” side to shift back to the 1

gear.

If the A/T fluid temperature is high, the pro-
tection function operates. In this case, the
transmission may refuse to perform an up-
shift when the selector lever or the shift pad-
dles are operated to the “+ (SHIFT UP)” po-
sition in sports mode, or it may automatical-
ly downshift.

CAUTION

If the selector lever position display blinks
while you are driving, it is likely that a safe-
ty device is operating because of a malfunc-
tion in the automatic transmission. Immedi-
ately have the vehicle inspected at a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.

When the A/T (automatic trans-
mission) fluid temperature
warning lamp comes on

E00615301236

The automatic transmission fluid temperature
warning lamp comes on and a buzzer may
sound, when the automatic transmission fluid
temperature becomes abnormally high. Nor-
mally the warning lamp comes on when the
ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position
or the operation mode is put in ON, and then
will go off after a few seconds.

CAUTION

If the lamp comes on, reduce the engine
speed and stop the vehicle in a safe area.
Then set the selector lever to “P” (PARK)
position and idle the engine until the warn-
ing lamp goes off. When the warning lamp
goes off, resume normal driving. If the
warning lamp does not go off, we recom-
mend you to have your vehicle inspected.

Operation of the A/T

E00604201697

CAUTION

Before selecting a gear with the engine run-
ning and the vehicle stationary, fully 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 en-
gine speed is high, at fast idle or with the air
conditioner operating, the brakes should on-
ly be released when you are ready to drive
away.

Depress the brake pedal with the right foot at
all times.
Using the left foot could cause driver move-
ment delay in case of an emergency.

To prevent sudden acceleration, never race
the engine when shifting from the “P”
(PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL) position.

CAUTION

Operating the accelerator pedal while the
other foot is resting on the brake pedal will
affect braking efficiency and may cause pre-
mature wear of brake pads.

Use the selector lever in the correct shift po-
sition in accordance with driving conditions.
Never coast downhill backward with the se-
lector lever in the {“D” (DRIVE) or sports
mode} or coast forward with the selector
lever in the “R” (REVERSE) position.
The engine may stop and the unexpected in-
crease in brake pedal effort and steering
wheel weight could lead to an accident.

Do not race the engine with brake pedal
pressed when the vehicle is stationary.
This can damage the A/T.
Also, when you depress the accelerator ped-
al while holding down the brake pedal with
the selector lever in the “P” (PARK), “N”
(NEUTRAL) or “D” (DRIVE) position, the
engine revolutions may not rise as high as
when performing the same operation with
the selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL)
position.

Passing acceleration

E00604501342

To gain extra acceleration in “D” (DRIVE)
position, push the accelerator to the floor.
The A/T will automatically downshift.

Starting and driving

NOTE

In sports mode, downshifts do not take place
when the accelerator is depressed all the way
to the floor.

Waiting

E00604601372

For short waiting periods, such as at traffic
signals, the vehicle can be left in gear and
held stationary with the service brake.
For longer waiting periods with the engine
running, place the selector lever in the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position and apply the parking
brake, while holding the vehicle stationary
with the service brake.

CAUTION

Never hold the vehicle stationary on a hill
using the accelerator pedal (without using
the brake pedal). Always apply the parking
brake and/or service brakes.

Parking

E00604700187

To park the vehicle, first bring it to a com-
plete stop, fully engage the parking brake,
and then move the selector lever to the “P”
(PARK) position.
If you are going to leave the vehicle unatten-
ded, always switch off the engine and carry
the key.

NOTE

On a slope, be sure to apply the parking
brake before moving the selector lever to the
“P” (PARK) position. If you move the selec-
tor lever to the “P” (PARK) position before
applying the parking brake, it may be diffi-
cult to disengage the selector lever from the
“P” (PARK) position when next you drive
the vehicle, requiring application of a strong
force to the selector lever to move from the
“P” (PARK) position.

When the automatic transmis-
sion makes no speed change

E00604801882

If the transmission does not change speeds
while driving, or your vehicle does not pick
up enough speed when starting on an uphill
slope, it may be that there is something un-
usual happening in the transmission, causing
a safety device to activate. Immediately have
your vehicle checked at a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.

1. If your vehicle has difficulty moving up-

hill, shift the selector lever into 2

gear

of the sports mode. This method might
not work depending on the transmission
malfunction.

2. Once the vehicle is moving on a level

road, move the selector lever back to
“D” (DRIVE).

NOTE

When the selector lever position display in
the instrument panel blinks, it means that
there is an abnormal condition in the trans-
mission.
Refer to “When the selector lever position
display blinks” on page 6-33.

sandy, muddy, and other difficult surfaces.
On vehicles with automatic transmission, do
not exceed speeds of approximately 70 km/h
(43 mph) in “4L” range.

Do not drive your vehicle in the “4H” or
“4L” on dry paved roads and highways. Do-
ing so may result in excessive tyre wear, in-
creased fuel consumption, and possible noise
generation. It may also increase the differen-
tial oil temperature, which may damage the
drive system. Further, the drive train will be
subjected to excessive loading, resulting in
oil leakage, component seizure, or other seri-
ous problems. On dry paved roads and high-
ways, drive the vehicle in “2H” only.

NOTE

When the drive mode-selector is set between
“2H”, “4H” and “4HLc”, the front wheel
and/or centre differential lock lamps blink
while the selection is in process. Take the
following precautions when the indication
lamp is blinking.

•

When the drive mode-selector is set be-
tween “2H”, “4H” and “4HLc”, while the
vehicle is stopped, the front wheel and/or
centre differential lock lamps blink while
the selection is in process. Drive slowly
and normally after confirming that the
lamp is switched.

•

If the front wheel and/or centre differen-
tial lock lamps blinking after a “2H” ↔
“4H” ↔ “4HLc” selection has been made
with the vehicle moving, hold the steering
wheel in the straight ahead position and
slowly depress the accelerator pedal sev-
eral times.

The front and the rear wheel lamps will
blink during shifting process from “4HLc”
to “4LLc” or vice versa, as the transfer pass-
es through the neutral position. Be sure to
operate the drive mode-selector until the
front and the rear wheel lamps illuminate
again.

NOTE

When parking, apply the parking brake be-
fore stopping the engine and make sure that
the front and the rear wheel lamps and the
low range lamp are not blinking during shift-
ing process between “4HLc” ↔ “4LLc”.
Otherwise, the vehicle could unexpectedly
move even if the automatic transmission is
in the “P” (PARK) position.

If, after a “4HLc” ↔ “4LLc” selection has
been made, front and the rear wheel lamps
continue blinking and the desired range is
not actually selected, return the drive mode-
selector to its previous position. Place the
steering wheel in the straight ahead position,
drive the vehicle forward, and release the ac-
celerator pedal. Next, hold down the clutch
pedal (with manual transmission) or place
the selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL)
position (with automatic transmission) and
make the range selection again.

If the low range lamp blinks when you at-
tempt to make a “4HLc” ↔ “4LLc” selec-
tion, a “4HLc” ↔ “4LLc” selection cannot
be made. Stop the vehicle and release the ac-
celerator pedal. Next, hold down the clutch
pedal (with manual transmission) or place
the selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL)
position (with automatic transmission) and
make the range selection again.

NOTE

The Active Stability Control function is sus-
pended while “4LLc” is selected. The in-
dication lamp illuminates while these func-
tions are suspended. It does not indicate a
problem. When “2H” or “4H” or “4HLc” is
selected, this lamp goes out and function
again. Refer to “ASTC indication lamp,
ASTC OFF indication lamp” on page 6-61.

CAUTION

If a problem is detected in the transfer sys-
tem, a safety device will activate. The front
and rear wheel lamps will go out, the centre
differential lock lamp will blink rapidly
(twice per second), and transfer shifting will
become impossible. Park your vehicle in a
safe place, turn off the engine for a few mo-
ments. Restart the engine. The lamp should
resume normal operation. If the lamps con-
tinue to blink, have the vehicle checked by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point as soon as possible.
