To gain extra acceleration in “D” (DRIVE)
position (when passing another vehicle) push
the accelerator to the floor if it is safe to do so
in traffic conditions. The CVT will automati-
cally downshift.

For short waiting periods, such as at traffic
lights, the vehicle can be left in selector lever
position and held stationary with the service
brake.
For longer waiting periods with the engine
running, the selector lever should be placed in
the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.

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 CVT does not shift while driving, or
your vehicle does not pick up enough speed
when starting on an uphill slope, there may be
something unusual happening in the transmis-
sion, causing a safety device to activate. Have
your vehicle checked at an authorized Mit-
subishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of
your choice as soon as possible.
1. If your vehicle has difficulty moving
uphill, shift the selector lever into “L”
(LOW) position (except for vehicles with
sport mode) or 2nd shift range of the
sports mode.
This method might not work depending
on the type of transmission malfunction.
 Do not rev the engine with the brake pedal
pressed when the vehicle is stationary.
This can damage the CVT.
Also, when you depress the accelerator pedal
while holding down the brake pedal with the
selector lever in the “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
NOTE
 In sports mode, downshifts do not take place
when the accelerator is depressed all the way
to the floor.
Waiting
CAUTION
CAUTION
 To avoid transmission overheating, never try
to keep your vehicle stationary on a hill by
using the accelerator pedal. Always apply
the parking brake and/or service brake.
 Unexpected acceleration may occur if the
selector lever is in a position other than “P”
(PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL).
Before driving off from a stop, make sure
that the selector lever is in “D” (DRIVE)
position or “Sports mode” position.
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.
