To park the vehicle, first bring it to a com-
plete stop, fully engage 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 as soon as possi-
ble.
