Thank you. It is pretty difficult to find info about the Mirage Drive S Mode on the internet. Watched many reviews and you were the only one who explained it.

It literally stands in the manual.

Lmaoo I've had my 2018 mitsubishi mirage g4 for almost 3 years and had ZERO clue THANK YOU😭😭

Ds only slightly revs up the RPMS, it makes a minor difference if you switch off the AC while in Ds, especially if your merging onto a fast highway on only a short on ramp.

Thank you for the excellent video and information.

I have a tuned 2018 Mitsubishi mirage and has a lot of upgrades and it has a cvt transmission and I made about 102hp out of it so it’s totally worth it to put some money into it

Aw hell yea that makes it as powerful as a Spark with even less curb weight. Put a swaybar and new rear suspension on her and you're almost in track car territory!

Bro You know how to disable full traction From fuse box or something

The sport mode to the right makes the engine RPMs higher, giving it more power.

... There is also "L" mode which can be used as a "launch mode" as it has a very favorable ratio. If You then shift it to Ds the vehicle can actually get out of its own way ;)

i got my first car at 24. it was my only option. it wasn't till later on that i started falling in love with it. what mattered was that it was drivable.

Can you change it from D to DS while driving? And shift it back? To merge into a highway

Late response, but yes, you can.

I put it in L to take off then shift into Ds to keep it going and then cruise at D

@karlmagro8806

Why L to take off? Isn’t Ds better to take off in order to go faster initially?

I might try that

Great video. Question though: Is it necessary to move the lever to Ds mode when going slight downhill with controllable speed? I usually leave the lever on D mode and brake lightly as possible.

Works either way: - go downhill in D and wear the brakes - go downhill in Ds and wear the engine and transmission. This is safer, you still have intact brakes to stop with.

@@edgaryzen4925 As long as you don't touch the accelerator, it won't burn fuel (automatic fuel cut-off when going downhill in Ds). It will use more fuel when you continue to drive in Ds after descending the hill, of course. Higher revs means higher fuel consumption generally (except when going downhill with no throttle applied).

DS mode is available for use at any speed

If it were me I'd keep there all the time. It's got to be worth the fuel economy hit.

It’s in the manual. Not hard to figure out.

People who don't know this can't drive a car. They would even wonder what a gear shifter is in a manual and do everything in first gear and complain about lack of top speed.

Owner/driver of the featured car also doesn't know what the ring switch is for (intermittent speed for wiper) or had no idea even after Googling what the ! symbol with a circle around it means or what caused it to light up. Tragic.

I only have the pathetic mode on the 2014 😂😂😂😂😂

drop a gear and disappear

what can he expect for a small 1.2cc engine. it was not designed for a race but designed rather for fuel efficiency. if he wants a speed something to reach 60 in just 3seconds, he better buy a v6 or a v8.

Most cars these days are fours or turbo fours. V6s and V8s are kind of disappearing expect on trucks (and they're even started to disappear there).

"Downshift" is correct as you need to downshift when going downhill and want to apply engine braking. Anyway a CVT in D is keeping the engine in the best rev range according to the pedal position. Ds and L are purely for different levels of engine braking. Keeping it in Ds doesn't result in quicker acceleration - the Mirage is simply a slow car - your friend knew this when buying the thing

The Mirage has a terrible CVJ7 transmission.... it is VERY prone to breaking.. but only in higher horse power applications, like in a Nissan for instance. However, because the Mirage has 78HP, it never gets to the point where it taxes it (estimated at the 100hp level)... so they can last in excess of 150,000 or 200,000 miles... basically if you do the transmission flush procedure every 30k, it will last the life of the car. But in a Nissan, they could go out at 50k if driven hard. To answer the question, in Ds mode it would put more strain the normal, but you would have to drive it in Ds all the time for years, for there to be any reasonable difference or 'more wear'. @@jim0311

Only they don't. You're confusing them with old Nissans.

i wouldn't ever buy a CVT car. i drove a scooter around for a year and the CVT was always boiling hot and the strap was wearing down and spewing black powder* inside the housing (completely stock configuration). can you imagine a 1ton~ car with a strap? even a special metal braided one? gears are the most marvelous thing, minimal waste of power and very very reliable. i actually bought a scrap car in the past with 400,000km on it. i fixed everything and despite the syncro ring being worn down i never had any problem with it, i drove it around for 5years. most modern car are forced to use a semi-automatic transmission now a days in order to pass the very strict emision law. its the best of both worlds. youve got a geared transmission and a little electrically controlled actuator that manage the clutch. so any body can drive it. *edit: i fixed a mistake
