Mitsubishi Outlander: What to do if the following occur with the Twin Clutch SST
If there is a malfunction in the Twin Clutch SST or engine electronic control module, the following may occur.
► Twin Clutch SST does not shift.
► Vehicle cannot move.
► Twin Clutch SST acceleration is slow.
► Vehicle does not creep.
► “Shift shock” is large.
► Shifting occurs at higher engine speed.
► Response is slow.
If either of these occurs, perform the following procedure.
When 
warning display is
showing
The temperature of the Twin Clutch SST fluid is high. Refer to “Warning display” and follow the appropriate measures.
When the check engine warning lamp comes on or blinking
There could be a malfunction in the engine electronic control module. Refer to “Check engine warning lamp” and follow the appropriate measures.
When the gearshift lever position display is not showing
A safety device in the Twin Clutch SST has been activated due to a possible malfunction in the Twin Clutch SST. Refer to “When the gearshift lever position display is not showing” and follow the appropriate measures
When warning display is
showing or when no warning is showing in the multi-information display
A safety device in the Twin Clutch SST has been activated due to a possible malfunction in the Twin Clutch SST or in the engine electronic control module.
Perform the following procedure.
1. Park your vehicle in a safe place and stop the engine.
2. Restart the engine.
If the vehicle moves and accelerates normally after this procedure is performed, there is no malfunction.
However, if the vehicle does not move or accelerate normally, or if this problem occurs repeatedly, have the vehicle checked by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point as soon as possible.
Caution
► When the Twin Clutch SST fluid temperature is high, the engine idle speed when the vehicle is stopped may increase or the vehicle will have a weak tendency to creep.
After that, if the Twin Clutch SST fluid temperature rises even higher, the
warning display will appear.

Tyres and wheels
Since the driving torque can be applied to the 4 wheels, the driving performance
of the vehicle when operating in 4-wheel drive is greatly affected by the condition
of the tyres.

Diesel particulate filter (DPF)
The diesel particulate filter (DPF) is a device that captures most of the particulate
matter (PM) in the exhaust emissions of the diesel engine. The DPF automatically
burns away trapped PM during vehicle operation. Under certain driving conditions,
however, the DPF is not able to burn away all

WARNING
• When a person sits in the rear seat, pull up the head restraint to a height
at which it locks in position. Be sure to make this adjustment before starting to
drive. Serious injuries could otherwise be suffered as the result of an impact.
Refer to “Head restraints”.
