in the multi-information display while you
are driving, take the following measures.

The temperature of the Twin Clutch SST fluid
is high.
If this occurs, take one of the following mea-
sures.
 Reduce the vehicle speed.
 Stop the vehicle in a safe place, place the
gearshift lever in the “P” (PARK) posi-
tion, and then open the engine hood with
the engine running to cool the engine.
After a while, check that the warning dis-
play has gone out.
If the display goes out, the vehicle can be
driven normally.
If the warning display remains on or comes
on frequently, have the vehicle checked by an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a
repair facility of your choice.
If the vehicle continues to be driven after the
warning display appears, and the tempera-
ture of the Twin Clutch SST fluid continues
to rise, the transmission protection control
may operate and cause the transmission to
function as if the gearshift lever was in the
“N” (NEUTRAL) position.
(At this time, the vehicle temporarily cannot
be driven.)
If this occurs, take the following measures.
1. Depress the brake pedal and stop the vehi-
cle in a safe place.
2. Place the gearshift lever in the “P”
(PARK) position, and then open the
engine hood with the engine running to
cool the engine.
3. After a while, check that the warning
display has gone out, and then stop the
engine if the warning display has gone
out.
4. If the engine can be restarted, the vehicle
can be driven normally.
If the warning display remains on or comes
on frequently, have the vehicle checked by an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a
repair facility of your choice.

A safety device in the Twin Clutch SST has
been activated due to a possible malfunction
When warning display is show-
ing
CAUTION
 If the warning display is shown, such as
when the vehicle does not accelerate while
traveling even if the accelerator pedal is
depressed, the vehicle may not be able to be
driven normally.
For safety, pay attention to your surround-
ings when driving the vehicle.
NOTE
 If the vehicle is continuously driven on hilly
roads or in an aggressive manner involving
high engine rpm, sudden acceleration and/or
deceleration, the vehicle transmission may
vibrate.
This vibration is to alert the driver that the
Twin Clutch SST fluid temperature has risen.
It does not indicate a malfunction.
If this occurs, perform the same measures for
when the warning appears. If the vibra-
tion stops, the vehicle can be driven nor-
mally.
