CAUTION
l
If malfunction occurs in the A/T while driv-
ing, 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 A/T fluid is overheating.
Stop the vehicle in a safe place, place the se-
lector lever in the “P” (Park) position, and
open the bonnet 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 display remains,
contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point immediately.
When warning display is showing
It may be that there is something unusual
happening in the A/T, causing a safety de-
vice to activate. Immediately have your ve-
hicle
checked at an authorized
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Service Point.
Operation of the A/T
E00604201802
CAUTION
l 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
conditioning operating, the brakes should
only be released when you are ready to drive
away.
l 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.
l To prevent sudden acceleration, never race
the engine when shifting from the “P”
(PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
l 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.
l 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), “L” (LOW)
position 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.
CAUTION
l
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 “D” (DRIVE) posi-
tion, the engine revolutions may not rise as
high as when performing the same operation
with the selector lever in the “N” (NEU-
TRAL) position.
Passing acceleration
E00604500358
To gain extra acceleration in “D” (DRIVE)
position, push the accelerator to the floor.
The A/T will automatically downshift.
NOTE
l In “Sports mode”, downshifts do not take
place when the accelerator is depressed all
the way to the floor.

leased and ensures smooth driving.
