[For vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key]
For information on operations for vehicles equipped with the
F.A.S.T.-key, refer to “F.A.S.T.-key: Starting the engine” on
page 3-31.
[Except for vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key]
Your vehicle is equipped with an electronically controlled fuel
injection system, which automatically controls the release of
fuel. There is usually no need to depress the accelerator pedal
when starting the engine.
The starter should not be run for more than 15 seconds at a
time.
To prevent battery drain, wait a few seconds between attempts
to restart the engine. Normal conditionTo start your vehicle:
Make sure all occupants are properly seated with seat belts fas-
tened.
1. Insert the ignition key.
2. Make sure the parking brake is applied.
3. Press and hold the brake pedal down with your right foot.
4. Press and hold the clutch pedal all the way down (manual
transaxle).NOTE

For models equipped with a manual transaxle, the starter
will not operate unless the clutch pedal is fully depressed
(Clutch interlock). This is a safety feature.5. On vehicles with manual transaxle, place the gearshift
lever in the “N” (Neutral) position.
On vehicles with Twin Clutch SST, make sure the gear-
shift lever is in the “P” (PARK) position.
NOTE

On vehicles with Twin Clutch SST, the starter will not
operate unless the gearshift lever is in the “P” (PARK)
position or the gearshift lever is in the “N” (NEUTRAL)
position with the brake pedal depressed.
For safety reasons, start the engine in the “P” (PARK)
position so that the wheels are locked.
6. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position and make
certain that all warning lights are functioning properly
before starting the engine.
7. Turn the ignition switch to the “START” position without
pressing the accelerator pedal. Release the key when the
engine starts.
At extremely cold ambient temperaturerIf the engine won’t start, press the accelerator pedal all the way
down while cranking the engine. Release the accelerator pedal
when the engine starts.
CAUTION
!

When starting the engine, make sure that you hold
the brake pedal down. If you start the engine with
your foot on the accelerator pedal, switch to the
brake pedal as soon as the engine has started.

S-AWC control mode switchWhen the ignition switch is set to the “ON” position, operate
the AWC switch to change the control mode.
Except for vehicles with steering wheel audio remote con-
trol switches
Push the switch down to change the control mode in the order
“TARMAC” → “GRAVEL” → “SNOW” or push it up to
change the control mode in the order “SNOW” → “GRAVEL”
→ “TARMAC”.Vehicles with steering wheel audio remote control switches
Each time the switch is pushed, the control mode changes in
the order “TARMAC” → “GRAVEL” → “SNOW” → “TAR-
MAC”.
NOTE

The control mode can be changed while the vehicle is
moving.


The selected control mode is stored in memory even if the
engine is stopped.
However, if a battery terminal is disconnected, the control
mode stored in memory will be erased and the control
mode will be set to the “TARMAC” mode.

NOTE

The display may come on in the instrument cluster
when you start the engine. This means that the battery
voltage momentarily dropped when the engine was
started. It does not indicate a malfunction, provided that
the display goes out immediately.


When a compact spare tire has been put on your vehicle,
the gripping ability of the tire will be lower, making it
more likely that the display will blink.

Indicator
Warning display
If an abnormal condition occurs in the system while driving,
the warning display will be displayed at the same time.
CAUTION
!

The system may be malfunctioning.
Park your vehicle in a safe place and stop the engine.
Restart the engine again and check whether the
display, indicator and the display go out. If the
warning display goes out, there is no abnormal con-
dition. If the warning display does not go out or
appears frequently, it is not necessary to stop the
vehicle immediately, but you should have your vehi-
cle inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer or a repair facility of your choice as soon as
possible.

To activate
N00518400327
1. With the ignition switch in the “ON” position, press the
“ON OFF” switch (A) to turn on the cruise control. The
“CRUISE” indicator light in the meter cluster will come
on.
NOTE

If the cruise control is on when the ignition switch is
turned to “LOCK” or “ACC” position, cruise control will
be on automatically the next time you start the engine.
The “CRUISE” indicator light will also be on.


If the battery voltage is insufficient, the memory data for
the cruise control may be erased.
As a result, the “CRUISE” indicator light may not come
on when you restart the engine.
If this happens, press the “ON OFF” switch once again to
turn on the cruise control.
2. Confirm that the Twin Clutch SST control mode is set to
“Normal”.
Refer to “Twin Clutch SST control mode” on page 3-102.
NOTE

The cruising speed cannot be set when the Twin Clutch
SST control mode is set to “Sport” mode or “S-Sport”
mode.

The tire pressure monitoring system may not work normally in
the following circumstances:

A wireless facility or device using the same frequency is
near the vehicle.


Snow or ice is stuck inside the fenders and/or on the
wheels.


The tire inflation pressure sensor’s battery is exhausted.


Wheels other than Mitsubishi genuine wheels are being
used.


Wheels that are not fitted with tire inflation pressure sen-
sors are being used.


Wheels whose ID codes are not memorized by the vehicle
are used.


Compact spare tire is fitted on a road wheel.
NOTE

Tire inflation pressures vary with the ambient tempera-
ture. If the vehicle is subjected to large variations in ambi-
ent temperature, the tire inflation pressures may be under-
inflated (causing the warning light to come on) when the
ambient temperature is relatively low. If the warning light
comes on, adjust the tire inflation pressure.
Whenever the tires and wheels are replaced with
new ones
N00532900124
If you use new wheels with new tire inflation pressure sensors,
their ID codes must be programmed into the tire pressure mon-
itoring system. Have tire and wheel replacement performed by
an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer to avoid the risk of
damaging the tire inflation pressure sensors. If the wheel
replacement is not done by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer, any resulting damage or system performance problems
are not covered by your warranty.
CAUTION
!

The use of non-genuine wheels will prevent the
proper fit of the tire inflation pressure sensors,
resulting in air leakage or damage of the sensors.

Odometer/Trip odometer
N00555400083
Each time you lightly press the multi-information meter
switch, the display screen switches.
Odometer/tripmeter → Odometer/tripmeter → Service
reminder → Redisplay of a warning display screen → Odome-
ter/tripmeter .
Odometer
Shows the total distance traveled.
Trip odometer
Shows the distance traveled between two points.

To reset the trip odometer
To return the display to 0, hold down the multi-information
meter switch for about 2 seconds or more. Only the currently
displayed value will be reset.
Example
If tripmeter is displayed, only tripmeter will be reset.
NOTE

If there is no warning display, the switching sequence is:
odometer/tripmeter → odometer/tripmeter → ser-
vice reminder → odometer/tripmeter .


Both tripmeters and can count up to 9999.9
miles/kilometers.
When a tripmeter goes past 9999.9 miles/kilometers, it
returns to 0.0 miles/kilometers.


When disconnecting the battery terminal, the memories of
tripmeter displays and are cleared, and their dis-
plays return to “0.0 miles/kilometers”.
Service reminder
N00555500013
Shows the distance and number of months until the next peri-
odic inspection.
Refer to “Service reminder” on page 3-168.
Usage examples for tripmeter , tripmeter
It is possible to measure two currently traveled distances,
from home using tripmeter and from a particular point
on the way using tripmeter .
