door is opened while the select position is not
in the “P” (PARK) position, a buzzer will
sound to remind you to press the electrical
parking switch.

Your vehicle has the function that automati-
cally shifts the select position to the “P”
(PARK) position when the operation mode of
the power switch is put in OFF.
If you need to set the select position to the
“N” (NEUTRAL) position when parking,
perform the following procedure.
1. Stop your vehicle completely.
2. Press the electrical parking switch to shift
to the “P” (PARK) position while depress-
ing the brake pedal.
3. Place chocks or blocks at the tyre.
If a malfunction occurs in the parking lock or
the electronic control shift, a warning is dis-
played on the information screen in the
instrument cluster. When this warning is dis-
played, immediately park on a safe, flat
place and apply the Electric parking brake,
and contact an authorised MITSUBISHI
MOTORS dealer.
Do not spill liquid, such as a beverage, on
the electrical parking switch. This can cause
the electrical parking switch to malfunction.
When shifting to or from the “P” (PARK)
position, you may hear an operation noise
and/or feel vibration. But this is not a mal-
function.
If the electrical parking switch and the selec-
tor lever are repeatedly operated in a short
time period, shifting from or to the “P”
(PARK) position will temporarily be
restricted to protect the system. If this
occurs, wait for a while and then operate the
electrical parking switch or the selector lever
again.
If the driver’s door is opened and the seat
belt is unfastened while the vehicle is sta-
tionary with the select position in any posi-
tion other than the “P” (PARK) position or
the vehicle is moving slowly and the
READY indicator is illuminated, the parking
lock function will be activated and the “P”
(PARK) position may be automatically
selected.

How to disable the function that
automatically shifts the select
position to the “P” (PARK)
position when the operation
mode of the power switch is put
in OFF
Never perform this procedure in the fol-
lowing situations. The vehicle may move
unintentionally causing a serious accident.
• When parking on a slope
• When refuelling
• In adverse weather conditions, such as
strong winds
If chocks or blocks are not available, use
stones or any other objects that are large
enough to hold the wheel in position.
