Electronically controlled 4WD system (if so equipped)
5-82 Features and controls
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 posi-
tion.
To park the vehicle, first bring it to a com-
plete stop, firmly apply the parking brake,
and then move the selector lever to the “P”
(PARK) position.
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 transmission, causing a safety device to
activate. Have your vehicle checked at an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a
repair facility of your choice immediately.

The electronically controlled 4WD system
helps improve acceleration and vehicle stabil-
ity by controlling the front-rear distribution of
driving torque using the electronic control
coupling in the rear differential assembly.
In sports mode, downshifts do not take place
when the accelerator is depressed all the way
to the floor.
Waiting
To avoid transmission overheating, never try
to keep your vehicle stationary on a hill by
using the accelerator pedal. Always apply
the parking brake and/or service brake.
Do not rev the engine unnecessarily while
the vehicle is stationary. Unexpected acceler-
ation may occur if the selector lever is in a
position other than “P” (PARK) or “N”
(NEUTRAL).
Parking
When the CVT makes no speed
change

When the selector lever position indicator
blinks while you are driving, there could be a
malfunction in the automatic transmission
system or CVT fluid temperature becomes
abnormally high.
[For vehicles equipped with color liquid
crystal display meter]
When the warning display and “SLOW
DOWN” or the warning display and
“SERVICE REQUIRED” appear on the
information screen in the multi-information
display, there could be a malfunction in the
CVT. Refer to “Continuously variable trans-
mission (CVT): Warning display” on page
