This position locks the transaxle to prevent
the vehicle from moving. The engine can be
started in the “P” (PARK) position.
Move the lever to this position only after the
vehicle has come to a complete stop.
At this position, the transaxle is disengaged.
It is the same as the neutral position on a
manual transaxle and should be used when
the vehicle is not moving for an extended
length of time during driving, such as in a
traffic jam.
If a malfunction occurs in the automatic
transaxle while driving, the warning dis-
play or the warning display will appear
on the information screen in the multi-infor-
mation display.
In this case, immediately park your vehicle
in a safe place and follow these procedures:

selector lever in the “P” position, and open

allow the engine to cool down. After a while,
confirm that the warning display is no
longer showing. It is safe to continue driving
if the display is no longer showing. If the
warning display remains or flashes fre-
quently, have your vehicle inspected by an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a
repair facility of your choice.
