CAUTION
!
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" (NEU-
TRAL) position.
Passing acceleration
To gain extra acceleration in "D" (DRIVE) position (when
passing another vehicle) push the accelerator to the floor. The
CVT will automatically downshift.
NOTE
In sports mode, downshifts do not take place when the
accelerator is depressed all the way to the floor.
Waiting
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 position.
CAUTION
!
To avoid transmission overheating, never try to keep
your vehicle stationary on a hill by using the acceler-
ator pedal. Always apply the parking brake and/or
service brake.
Do not rev the engine unnecessarily while the vehicle
is stationary. Unexpected acceleration may occur if
the selector lever is in a position other than "P"
(PARK) or "N" (NEUTRAL).
Parking
To park the vehicle, first bring it to a complete stop, fully
engage the parking brake, and then move the selector lever to
the "P" (PARK) position.
When the CVT makes no speed change
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 trans-
mission, causing a safety device to activate. Have your vehicle
checked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair
facility of your choice as soon as possible.
NOTE
When the
warning display and "SERVICE REQUIRED" appear
on the information screen in the multi-information dis-
play, there could be a malfunction in the CVT. Refer to
"Continuously variable transmission (CVT): Warning dis-
play" on page 3-78.
