CAUTION
l
You do not have to continuously drive ex-
actly as indicated above. Always strive to
drive safely in accordance with road con-
ditions.
If the DPF warning lamp flashes dur-
ing vehicle operation
Flashing
of the DPF warning
lamp indicates an ab-
normality in the DPF system. Have the system in-
spected at a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.
CAUTION
l
Continuing to drive with the
DPF warn-
ing lamp flashing could result in engine
trouble and DPF damage.
Manual transmission
E00602000199
The shift pattern is shown
on the gearshift lever
knob. Be sure to always fully depress the clutch ped-
al before attempting to shift the lever.
CAUTION
l
Do not move the gearshift
lever into re-
verse while the vehicle is moving for-
ward; doing so will damage the transmis-
sion.
l
Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal
while driving as this will cause premature
clutch wear or damage.
CAUTION
l
If the clutch is engaged suddenly while
the engine revolution is high, an extreme-
ly large load will be applied instantaneous-
ly to the power train, possibly leading to
the breakage of that component. Please en-
sure, therefore, that the clutch pedal is al-
ways applied in a slow yet firm manner.
Your vehicle has a special feature to pro-
tect the power train from damage; the en-
gine is controlled in such a way that exces-
sive increase in engine revolution is pre-
vented in situations where the accelerator
pedal is depressed while the gearshift lev-
er is in the 1
st
position and the clutch ped-
al has been depressed.
NOTE
l
If it is hard to
shift into 1
st
, depress the
clutch pedal again; the shift will then be eas-
ier to make.
l
To shift into reverse from 5
th
gear, move the
gearshift lever to the “N” (Neutral) position,
and then shift it into reverse.
Changing gears
E00610600136
Always take care to change the gear with the vehi-
cle
speed matched to the
engine speed. Proper shift-
ing will prolong engine life.
Avoid shifting down at high speed, as this may
cause excessive engine speed (the tachometer nee-
dle into the red zone) and damage the engine.
