This position locks the transmission to pre-
vent the vehicle from moving. The engine can
be started from the “PARK” position.
Move the lever to this position only after the
vehicle has come to a complete stop.
At this position, the transmission is disen-
gaged. 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.
Warning display
CAUTION
 If a malfunction occurs in the CVT while
driving, the warning display or the
warning display will appear on the informa-
tion screen in the multi-information display.
In this case, immediately park your vehicle
in a safe place and follow these procedures:
[When warning display is showing]
The continuously variable transmission
(CVT) fluid is overheating. The engine con-
trol may activate to lower the CVT fluid tem-
perature, causing the engine revolutions and
vehicle speed to decrease. In this case, take
one of the following procedures:
• Slow down your vehicle.
• Stop your vehicle in a safe place, put the
selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position,
and open the engine hood with the engine
running to 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 frequently, have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice.
[When warning display is showing]
It may be that there is something unusual
happening in the CVT, causing a safety
device to activate. Have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice as soon as possible.
