CAUTION
l
If a malfunction occurs in the CVT while
driving, the indication lamp will blink.
In this case, immediately park your vehicle
in a safe place and follow these procedures:
[If the indication lamp blinks rapidly (once
per second), the CVT fluid is overheating.]
Park your vehicle in a safe place but do not
turn off the engine. Move the selector lever
to the “P” (Park) position and open the bon-
net. Keep the engine idling.
After a while, move the selector lever into
any position other than “P” (Park) position
and confirm that the indication lamp stops
blinking. It is safe to continue driving if the
indication lamp no longer blinks.
If the indication lamp continues blinking,
contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point immediately.
[If the indication lamp blinks slowly (once
per 2 seconds), the CVT safety device may
be operating due to a malfunction.]
Have the vehicle inspected by a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point immediately.
l
If the CVT does not change its gear ratio or
the vehicle speed does not increase during
driving with “L” (LOW) position, CVT safe-
ty device may be operating due to a mal-
function in the CVT. If the “L” indicator
blinks even after vehicle stopped, have the
vehicle inspected by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point imme-
diately.
Operation of the CVT
CAUTION
l Before selecting a position with the engine
running and the vehicle stationary, fully de-
press the brake pedal to prevent the vehicle
from creeping.
The vehicle will begin to move as soon as
the CVT is engaged, especially when the en-
gine speed is high, at fast idle or with the air
conditioning (cooling or heating) operating,
the brakes should only be released when you
are ready to drive away.
l
Depress the brake pedal with the right foot at
all times.
Using the left foot could cause driver move-
ment delay in case of an emergency.
l
To prevent sudden acceleration, never race
the engine when shifting from the “P”
(PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
l Operating the accelerator pedal while the
other foot is resting on the brake pedal will
affect braking efficiency and may cause pre-
mature wear of brake pads.
CAUTION
l
Use the selector lever in the correct shift po-
sition in accordance with driving conditions.
Never coast downhill backward with the se-
lector lever in the “D” (DRIVE), “Ds”
(DOWNSHIFT & SPORTY DRIVING),
“L” (LOW) position or coast forward with
the selector lever in the “R” (REVERSE)
position.
The engine may stop and the unexpected in-
crease in brake pedal effort and steering
wheel effort could lead to an accident.
l Do not race the engine with brake pedal
pressed when the vehicle is stationary.
This can damage the CVT.
Also, when you depress the accelerator ped-
al while holding down the brake pedal with
the selector lever in the “D” (DRIVE) posi-
tion, the engine revolutions may not rise as
high as when performing the same operation
with the selector lever in the “N” (NEU-
TRAL) position.
Passing acceleration
To gain extra acceleration in “D” (DRIVE)
position, push the accelerator to the floor.
The CVT will automatically downshift.
Uphill/downhill driving

The transmission prevents unnecessary up-
shifts even when the accelerator pedal is re-
leased and ensures smooth driving.
