Automatic transmission
INVECS-II Sports Mode 6A/T
(Intelligent & Innovative Vehicle
Electronic Control System II)*
E00603200345
Designed for optimum control and equipped with
adaptive control capabilities, the electronically con-
trolled transmission optimally matches gear shifts
to almost all driving and road conditions.
CAUTION
l
This system is strictly intended to provide
supplementary functions. When travel-
ling downhill under certain conditions or
immediately after starting off when the au-
tomatic transmission is cold, no automat-
ic shiftdown may be made. The driver
should shiftdown to a lower gear to use en-
gine braking. Try to drive safely at all time.
NOTE
l
During running-in period or immediately af-
ter reconnection of the battery cable, there
may be a case where gear shifts are not made
smoothly. This does not indicate a faulty trans-
mission.
Gear shifts will become smooth after the trans-
mission has been shifted several times by the
electronic control system.
Selector lever operation
E00603300883
The transmission has 6 forward gears and 1 reverse
gear.
The individual gears are selected automatically, de-
pending on the speed of the vehicle and the posi-
tion of the accelerator pedal.
The selector lever (A) has 2 gates; the main gate
(B) and the manual gate (C).
While depressing the brake pedal, move the
selector lever through the gate.
Move the selector lever through the gate.
WARNING
l
Always depress the brake pedal when
shifting the selector lever into a gear
from the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEU-
TRAL) position.
Never put your foot on the accelerator ped-
al while shifting the selector lever from
the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL) po-
sition.
NOTE
l
To avoid erroneous operation, move the se-
lector lever firmly into each position and brief-
ly hold it there. Always check the position
shown by the selector lever position display
after moving the selector lever.
l
If the brake pedal is not depressed and held,
the shift-lock device activates to prevent the
selector lever from being moved from the
“P” (PARK) position.
When the selector lever cannot be shifted from
the “P” (PARK) position
E00629100049
When the selector lever cannot be shifted from the
“P” (PARK) position to another position while the
brake pedal is pressed and held down with the igni-
tion switch at the “ON” position, the battery may
be flat or the shift-lock mechanism may be malfunc-
tioning. Immediately have your vehicle checked by
a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point.
If you need to move the vehicle, shift the selector
lever as follows.
1. Make sure the parking brake is fully applied.
2. Stop the engine if it is running.
