firmly such as in emergency stop situations
and provides greater braking force.
NOTE

gearshift lever or selector lever into the “R”
position.
NOTE

The hill start assist is activated when all of
the following conditions are met.
• The engine is running.
(The hill start assist will not be activated
while the engine is starting or immediately
after the engine is started.)
• On vehicles with M/T, the gearshift lever is
in the following position.
[When starting an uphill slope forwards.]
The gearshift lever is in any position other
than “R” (Reverse).
(The hill start assist will operate, even if the
gearshift lever is in the “N” (Neutral) posi-
tion.)
[When starting an uphill slope backwards.]
The gearshift lever is in the “R” (Reverse)
position.
(The hill start assist will not operate when
the gearshift lever is in the “N” (Neutral)
position.)
• On vehicles with CVT, the selector lever is
in any position other than “P” (PARK) or
“N” (NEUTRAL).
• The vehicle is completely stationary, with
the brake pedal depressed.

 The hill start assist also operates when
reversing on an uphill slope.
 When the hill start assist is activated, you
may feel the operating sound or vibration
from under the body.
This is a normal result of the hill start assist
operation, and does not indicate a problem.

CAUTION
 If the warning is displayed, the hill start
assist will not operate. Start off carefully.

quently, it is not necessary to stop the vehicle
immediately, but the vehicle should be
inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice as soon as possible.
