Operation of the CVT
CAUTION
- Before selecting a position with the engine running and the vehicle stationary, firmly depress the brake pedal to prevent the vehicle from creeping. The vehicle will begin to move as soon as the CVT is engaged, especially when the engine speed or idle speed is high, or with the air conditioning operating. Do not release the brake pedal until you are ready to drive away.
- Depress the brake pedal with the right foot at all times.
- Using the left foot could cause driver movement\ delay in case of an emergency.
- To prevent sudden acceleration, never run the engine at high rpms when shifting from the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL).
- Operating the accelerator pedal while the other foot is resting on the brake pedal will affect braking efficiency and may cause premature wear of brake pads.
- Use the selector lever in the correct shift position in accordance with driving conditions. Never coast downhill backwards in the driving shift position “D” (DRIVE), “Ds” (DOWNSHIFT & SPORTY DRIVING), “L” (LOW) or coast forward in the “R” (REVERSE) position. Engine stopping and increased brake pedal and steering effort could lead to an accident.
- Do not rev the engine with the brake pedal pressed when the vehicle is stationary. This can damage the CVT. Also, when you depress the accelerator pedal while holding down the brake pedal with the selector lever in the “D” (DRIVE) position, the engine revolutions may not rise as high as when performing the same operation with the selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
Passing acceleration
To gain extra acceleration in “D” (DRIVE) position (when passing another vehicle) push the accelerator to the floor. The CVT will automatically downshift. For short waiting periods, such as at traffic
lights, the vehicle can be left in selector lever position and held stationary with the service brake. For longer waiting periods with the engine running, place the selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position and apply the parking brake, while holding the vehicle stationary with the service brake. Prior to moving off after having stopped the vehicle, make sure that the selector lever is in “D” (DRIVE) position.
CAUTION
- To avoid transmission overheating, never try to keep your vehicle stationary on a hill by using the accelerator pedal. Always apply the parking brake and/or service brake.
- Do not rev the engine unnecessarily while the vehicle is stationary. Unexpected acceleration may occur if the selector lever is in a position other than “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL).
Parking
To park the vehicle, first bring it to a complete stop, fully engage the parking brake, and then move the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position.
When the CVT makes no speed change
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. Have your vehicle checked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice immediately.
Service brake
Brake pedal
Overuse of the brake can cause weakening, resulting in poor brake response and premature wear of the brake pads. When driving down a long or steep hill, use engine braking by moving the selector lever to “Ds” (DOWNSHIFT & SPORTY DRIVING) or “L” (LOW) position.
WARNING
Do not leave any objects near the brake pedal or let a floor mat slide under it; doing so could prevent the full pedal stroke that would be necessary in an emergency. Make sure that the pedal can be operated freely at all times. Make sure the floor mat is securely held in place.
CAUTION
It is important not to drive the vehicle with your foot resting on the brake pedal when braking is not required. This practice can result in very high brake temperatures, premature lining wear, and possible damage to the brakes.
Power brakes
Your vehicle is equipped with power brakes for more braking force with less brake pedal effort. Your brakes are designed to operate at full capacity, even if the power assist is not being used. If the power assist is not being used, the effort needed to press the brake pedal is greater. If you should lose the power assist for some reason, the brakes will still work. If the power brake unit or either of the two brake hydraulic systems stops working properly, the rest of the brake system will still work, but the vehicle will not slow down as quickly. You will know this has happened if you find you need to press the brake down farther, or harder when slowing down or stopping, or if the brake warning light and the warning display in the multi-information display come on. Have the brake system repaired at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice immediately.
WARNING
- Never coast downhill with the engine OFF. Keep the engine running whenever your vehicle is in motion. If you turn off the engine while driving, the power brake booster will stop working and your brakes will not work as well.
- If the power assist is lost or if either brake or hydraulic system stops working properly, take your vehicle to an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice immediately.
Brake pad wear alarm
The disc brakes have an alarm that makes a metallic squeal when the brake pads have worn down enough to need service. If you hear this sound, have the brake pads replaced at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
WARNING
Driving with worn brake pads will make it harder to stop, and can cause an accident.
Hill start assist
The hill start assist makes it easy to start off on a steep uphill slope by preventing the vehicle from moving backwards. It keeps the brakes applied for approximately 2 seconds when you move your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
CAUTION
- Do not overly rely on the hill start assist to prevent backwards movement of the vehicle. Under certain circumstances, even when hill start assist is activated, the vehicle may move backwards if the brake pedal is not sufficiently depressed, if the vehicle is heavily loaded, or if the road is very steep or slippery.
- The hill start assist is not designed to keep the vehicle stopped in place on uphill slopes for more than 2 seconds.
- When facing uphill, do not rely on using the hill start assist to maintain a stopped position as an alternative to depressing the brake pedal. Doing so could cause an accident.
- Do not perform the following operation while the hill start assist is operating. [Except for vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key] Turn the ignition switch to the “OFF” or “ACC” position. [Vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key] Put the operation mode in OFF or ACC. The hill start assist could stop operating, which could result in an accident.
To operate
- Stop the vehicle completely using the brake pedal.
- On vehicles with manual transaxle, place the gearshift lever into the 1st position. On vehicles with CVT, place the selector lever into the “D” (DRIVE) position.
- NOTE
When reversing on an uphill slope, place the gearshift lever or selector lever into the “R” position.
- NOTE
- Release the brake pedal and the hill start assist will maintain the braking force applied while stopped for approximately 2 seconds.
- Depress the accelerator pedal and the hill start assist will gradually decrease the braking force as the vehicle starts moving.
- NOTE
- The hill start assist is activated when all of the following conditions are met.
- The engine is running.
(The hill start assist will not be activated while the engine is starting or immediately after the engine is started.)
- The engine is running.
- The hill start assist is activated when all of the following conditions are met.
- NOTE
- On vehicles with manual transaxle, the usual. gearshift lever is in the following position.[When starting an uphill slope forwards.] The gearshift lever is in any position other than “R” (Reverse). (The hill start assist will operate, even if the gearshift lever is in the “N” (Neutral) position.) [When starting an uphill slope backwards.] The gearshift lever is in the “R” (Reverse) position. (The hill start assist will not operate when the gearshift lever is in the “N” (Neutral) position.)
- On vehicles with CVT, the selector lever is in any position other than “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL).
- The vehicle is completely stationary, with the brake pedal depressed.
- The parking brake is released.
- The hill start assist will not operate if the accelerator pedal is depressed before the brake pedal is released.
- The hill start assist also operates when reversing on an uphill slope.
- When the hill start assist is activated, you may feel the operating sound or vibration from under the body. This is a normal result of the hill start assist operation and does not indicate a problem.
- On vehicles with manual transaxle, the usual. gearshift lever is in the following position.[When starting an uphill slope forwards.] The gearshift lever is in any position other than “R” (Reverse). (The hill start assist will operate, even if the gearshift lever is in the “N” (Neutral) position.) [When starting an uphill slope backwards.] The gearshift lever is in the “R” (Reverse) position.
