Continuously variable transmission (CVT) (if so equipped)
5-58 Features and controls
5
To gain extra acceleration in “D” (DRIVE)
position (when passing another vehicle) push
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.
 Use the selector lever in the correct shift
position in accordance with driving condi-
tions.
Never coast downhill backward in the driv-
ing shift position {“D” (DRIVE), “Ds”
(DOWN SHIFT & SPORTY DRVING), “L”
(LOW) position or sports mode} or coast
forward in the “R” (REVERSE) position.
Engine stopping and increased brake pedal
and steering effort could lead to an accident.

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
CAUTION NOTE
 In sports mode, downshifts do not take place
when the accelerator is depressed all the way
to the floor.
Waiting
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.
 Do not rev the engine unnecessarily while
the vehicle is stationary. Unexpected acceler-
ation may occur if the selector lever is in a
position other than “P” (PARK) or “N”
(NEUTRAL).
Parking
When the CVT makes no speed
change
NOTE
 When the warning display and “SLOW
DOWN” or the warning display and
“SERVICE REQUIRED” appear on the
information screen in the multi-information
display, there could be a malfunction in the
CVT. Refer to “Continuously variable trans-
mission (CVT): Warning display” on page
5-54.
