Clutch pedal operation (if so equipped)
5-56 Features and controls

The turbocharger increases engine power by
pushing large amounts of air into the engine’s
cylinders. The finned parts inside the turbo-
charger turn at extremely high speeds and are
subjected to extremely high temperatures.
They are lubricated by engine oil and cooled
by engine oil and coolant. If the engine oil is
not replaced at the specified intervals, the
bearings may seize or emit abnormal noise.

Observe the following cautions when using
the clutch pedal. Not observing them could
result in rapid clutch wear or in clutch dam-
age.
 Press the clutch pedal all the way down
while shifting gears.
 Press and hold the clutch pedal all the way
down before starting the engine.
 Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal.
 On hills and other gradients, do not hold
the vehicle in position by slipping the
clutch without using the brakes.
 Make sure the space under the clutch
pedal is free of objects that could obstruct
the pedal.
 Do not stop the engine immediately after
high-speed or uphill driving. First allow the
engine to idle to give the turbocharger a
chance to cool down.

Engine oil must be properly maintained to
avoid engine and/or turbocharger damage.
To better protect your engine and turbo-
charger, use fully synthetic engine oil.

Clutch pedal operation
(if so
equipped)
CAUTION
 If the clutch is engaged suddenly while the
engine revolution is high, an extremely large
load will be applied instantaneously to the
power train, possibly leading to the breakage
of that component. Please ensure, therefore,
that the clutch pedal is always applied in a
slow yet firm manner.
NOTE
 Your vehicle has a special feature to reduce
the impact into the power train and to reduce
the load of the clutch disk; the engine revolu-
tion doesn’t rise more than around 5,500 rpm
while the vehicle is stationary and the clutch
pedal has been depressed.
 If either of the following occurs, the clutch
should be inspected by a Mitsubishi Motors
dealer or a repair facility of your choice:
• The pedal stroke until clutch disengage-
ment suddenly increases.
• The engine revs when the clutch is not dis-
engaged.
