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 unat-
tended, always switch off the engine and
carry the key.

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 unu-
sual happening in the transmission, causing a
safety device to activate. Have your vehicle
checked at an authorised MITSUBISHI
MOTORS dealer immediately.
E00607001856
All the parts of the brake system are critical
to safety. Have the vehicle serviced by an
authorised MITSUBISHI MOTORS dealer at
regular intervals according to the service
booklet.
The service brake is divided into two brake
circuits. And your vehicle is equipped with
power brakes. If one brake circuit fails, the
other is available to stop the vehicle. If your
vehicle should lose the power assist for some
reason, the brakes will still work. In these sit-
uations, even if the brake pedal moves down
to the very end of its possible stroke or resists
being depressed, keep depressing the brake
pedal down harder and further than usual;
stop driving as soon as possible and have the
brake system repaired at an authorised
MITSUBISHI MOTORS dealer.
CAUTION
 Never hold the vehicle stationary while in
CVT on a hill with the accelerator, always
apply the parking brake and/or service brake.
Parking
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.

CAUTION
 Avoid driving habits that cause heavy brak-
ing and never “ride” the brakes by resting
your foot on the brake pedal while driving.
It causes brake overheating and fade.
Brake system
WARNING
 Do not turn off the engine while your vehi-
cle is in motion. If you turn off the engine
while driving, the power assistance for the
braking system will stop working and
your brakes will not work effectively.
 If the power assist is lost or if either brake
hydraulic system stops working properly,
have your vehicle checked immediately,
take your vehicle to an authorised
MITSUBISHI MOTORS dealer immedi-
ately.
