WARNING
l
To avoid unintended vehicle movement
when the gearshift lever position display
blinks and the buzzer beeps, keep
brake pedal applied with your right foot
and do not depress the accelerator pedal.
If the gearshift lever position display is not show-
ing
E00627200017
There may be a problem in the Twin Clutch SST.
If this occurs, the safety device operates and pre-
vents the vehicle from moving. Perform the follow-
ing procedure.
1. Park your vehicle in a safe place and stop the
engine.
2. Restart the engine.
If the gearshift lever position display is shown and
the vehicle can move after this procedure is per-
formed, there is no malfunction.
If the gearshift lever position display is not shown
and the vehicle cannot move, or if this problem oc-
curs repeatedly, have the vehicle checked by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point
as soon as possible.
Gearshift lever positions (Manual shift
gate)
E00621200099
“P” PARK
This position locks the transmission to prevent the
vehicle from moving. The engine can be started in
this position.
“R” REVERSE
This position is to back up.
CAUTION
l
Never shift into the “P” (PARK) or “R”
(REVERSE) position while the vehicle is
in motion to avoid a transmission dam-
age.
“N” NEUTRAL
At this position the transmission is disengaged. It is
the same as the neutral position on a M/T, and
should only be used when the vehicle is stationary
for an extended length of time during driving, such
as in a traffic jam.
WARNING
l
Never move the gearshift 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.
l
On a gradient the engine should be star-
ted in the “P” (PARK) position. Although
the engine can be started when the vehi-
cle is in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position if
the brake pedal is depressed, for safety
reasons, do not start the engine in the
“N” (NEUTRAL) position.
l
Always keep your right foot on the brake
pedal when shifting into or out of “N”
(NEUTRAL), to minimise the risk of loss
of control.
“D” DRIVE
This position is for normal driving. The transmis-
sion automatically selects a suitable gear ratio for
your speed and acceleration.
Engine braking is automatically applied when nec-
essary, depending on road conditions.
CAUTION
l
Never shift into the “D” (DRIVE) posi-
tion from the “R” (REVERSE) position
while the vehicle is in motion to avoid a
transmission damage.
NOTE
l
When the engine is cold, upshifts occur at a
higher vehicle speed than when the engine is
warm.
This control is performed to quickly warm
up the engine. It does not indicate a malfunc-
tion. After the vehicle has been driven for a
while, upshifts will occur at the regular en-
gine speeds.
