the accelerator to the floor. The CVT will
automatically 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, place the selector lever in the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position and apply the parking
brake, while holding the vehicle stationary
with the service brake.
Prior to moving off after having stopped the
vehicle, make sure that the selector lever is in
“D” (DRIVE) position or Sports mode posi-
tion.
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 the CVT does not shift while driving, or
your vehicle does not pick up enough speed
when starting on an uphill slope, it may be
that there is something unusual happening in
the transmission, causing a safety device to
activate. Immediately have your vehicle
checked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
