This position locks the transmission to pre-
vent the vehicle from moving. The engine can
be started from the “P” (PARK) position.
Move the lever to this position only after the
vehicle has come to a complete stop.
At this position, the transmission is disen-
gaged. It is the same as the neutral position on
a manual transaxle and should be used when
the vehicle is not moving for an extended
length of time during driving, such as in a
traffic jam.
This position is used for most city and high-
way driving. The transmission will automati-
cally and continuously change its gear ratio
depending on road and driving conditions.
• Stop your vehicle in a safe place, put the
selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position,
and open the engine hood with the engine
running to allow the engine to cool down.
After a while, confirm that the warning
display is no longer showing. It is safe to
continue driving if the display is no longer
showing. If the warning display remains or
flashes frequently, have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice.
[When warning display is showing]
It may be that there is something unusual
happening in the CVT, causing a safety
device to activate. Immediately have your
vehicle inspected by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility
of your choice.
Selector lever positions
“P” PARK
CAUTION
“R” REVERSE
CAUTION
 Never shift into the “P” (PARK) or “R”
(REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in
motion. If the lever is shifted into the “P”
(PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position while
the vehicle is in motion, the transmission
may be damaged.
“N” NEUTRAL
WARNING
 Never move the selector lever to the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position while driving since
you could accidentally slip it into the “P”
(PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position,
damaging the transmission.
 To prevent the vehicle from rolling when
stopped on a slope, the engine should be
started in the “P” (PARK) position, not in
“N” (NEUTRAL) position.

To prevent rolling, always keep your foot
on the brake pedal when the vehicle is in
“N” (NEUTRAL) position, or when shift-
ing into or out of “N” (NEUTRAL) posi-
tion.
“D” DRIVE
CAUTION
 To prevent transmission damage, never shift
into the “D” (DRIVE) position from the “R”
(REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in
motion.
