Twin Clutch Sst (Sportronic Shift Transmission) (If So Equipped); Gearshift Lever Operation - Mitsubishi LANCER Owner's Manual

Twin Clutch SST (Sportronic Shift Trans-
mission)
The Twin Clutch SST is a transmission that, through integrated
control of the engine and transmission, is able to achieve both
the smooth shifting of an automatic transaxle and the accelera-
tion and fuel economy close to a manual transaxle. In addition,
the control mode can be selected from two types to suit the
driving conditions.
Together with manual shifting, the transmission is capable of
responding to a variety of driving circumstances.
Twin Clutch SST control mode→ P.3-117
Manual shift → P.3-119

Gearshift lever operation

As an additional safety precaution, models equipped with a
Twin Clutch SST have a shift-lock device that holds the gear-
shift lever in the "P" (PARK) position. To move the gearshift
lever from the "P" (PARK) position to another position, follow
the steps below.
1. Press and hold the brake pedal down.
2. Move the gearshift lever to the desired position.
NOTE
The gearshift lever cannot be moved from "P" (PARK) to
another position if the ignition switch is at the "LOCK" or
"ACC" position, or the key has been removed, or if the
brake pedal is not pressed and held down.
