3 Starting and stopping the engine
N00542100073
Tips for starting

Do not operate the starter motor continuously for longer
than 15 seconds as this could run the battery down or
damage the starter motor. If the engine does not start, turn
the ignition switch back to the “LOCK” position, wait a
few seconds, and then try again. Trying repeatedly with
the engine or starter motor still turning will damage the
starter mechanism.


If the engine will not start because the battery is weak or
discharged, refer to “Jump-starting the engine” (on page
6-2) for instructions.


The engine is warmed up enough for driving when the bar
graph of engine coolant temperature display starts to
move. Driving before the bar graph moves may cause
deterioration of turbocharger performance and driveabil-
ity. A longer warm up period will only consume extra
fuel.


On vehicles equipped with the Twin Clutch SST, the fol-
lowing may occur after the engine is started, but they do
not indicate an abnormality.
 You may hear operational sounds of the Twin Clutch
SST and you may feel vibration in the vehicle body.
 If you shift the gearshift lever into the “N” (NEUTRAL)
position and depress the accelerator pedal, increases in
the engine speed will be limited.
WA R N I N G
!

Never run the engine in a closed or poorly ventilated
area any longer than is needed to move your vehicle
out of the area. Carbon monoxide gas, which is
odorless and extremely poisonous, could build up
and cause serious injury or death.CAUTION
!

Do not push-start the vehicle.


Do not run the engine at high rpms or drive at high
speeds until the engine has had a chance to warm
up.


Release the ignition switch as soon as the engine
starts. Otherwise, the starter motor will be dam-
aged.

N00563000017
When the gearshift lever is placed in the “R” (REVERSE)
position, the gearshift lever position display on the multi-infor-
mation display may blink and the vehicle will not move
because the gears in the transmission have not engaged.

1. Depress the brake pedal with your right foot and place the
gearshift lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
2. Place the gearshift lever in the “R” (REVERSE) position,
and confirm that the gearshift lever position display stops
blinking.
3. Repeat 1 and 2 above if the gearshift lever position dis-
play continues to blink.
If the gearshift lever position display is not showing
N00562500031
There may be a problem in the Twin Clutch SST.
If this occurs, the safety device operates and prevents the vehi-
cle from moving. Therefore, perform the following procedure.
1. Park your vehicle in a safe place and stop the engine.
2. Restart the engine.
If the gearshift lever position display is shown and the vehicle
can move after this procedure is performed, there is no mal-
function.
If the gearshift lever position display is not shown and the
vehicle cannot move, or if this problem occurs repeatedly, have
the vehicle checked by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer
or a repair facility of your choice as soon as possible.

NOTE

If the vehicle is continuously driven on hilly roads or in an
aggressive manner involving high engine rpm, sudden
acceleration and/or deceleration, the vehicle transmission
may vibrate.
This vibration is to alert the driver that the Twin Clutch
SST fluid temperature has risen. It does not indicate a
malfunction.
If this occurs, perform the same measures for when the
warning appears. If the vibration stops, the vehicle can be
driven normally.If vehicle is driven with warning displayed
If the vehicle continues to be driven after the warning dis-
play appears, and the temperature of the Twin Clutch SST fluid
continues to rise, the transmission protection control may oper-
ate and cause the transmission to function as if the gearshift
lever was in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
(At this time, the vehicle temporarily cannot be driven.)
If this occurs, take the following measures.
1. Depress the brake pedal and stop the vehicle in a safe
place.
2. Place the gearshift lever in the “P” (PARK) position, and
then open the engine hood with the engine running to cool
the engine.
3. After a while, check that the warning display has gone
out, and then stop the engine if the warning display has
gone out.
4. If the engine can be restarted, the vehicle can be driven
normally.
If the warning display remains on or comes on frequently, have
the vehicle checked by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer
or a repair facility of your choice.

Twin Clutch SST control mode
N00540200083
Select the control mode from the following three types to suit
the driving conditions.
NOTE

Damage to your vehicle caused by racing and/or driving
on closed circuit tracks will not be covered under war-
ranty. Please review the “WARRANTY AND MAINTE-
NANCE MANUAL: NEW VEHICLE LIMITED
WARRANTY”.


When continuously driving on closed circuit racetracks or
at other locations where the engine is operated at high
speeds and under a heavy load, the Twin Clutch SST fluid
temperature will have a tendency to rise.
In this case, if the temperature rises too high, the warn-
ing display will appear on the information screen in the
multi-information display to alert the driver.
If the warning display appears, be sure to refer to
“Warning display” on page 3-98 and follow the appropri-
ate measures.


The Twin Clutch SST control mode can be selected both
when “D” range operation is selected and when manual
shifting is selected.


If you select “Sport” mode or “S-Sport” mode while the
engine is cold, the transmission may shift up at different
speeds compared to that when the engine is warm.
This is simply the operation of the control system to warm
the engine quickly. It does not indicate a malfunction.


For slippery road surfaces, such as roads with accumu-
lated snow, “Normal” mode is recommended for smooth
shifting at low engine speeds.

Characteristic
Normal
(Control mode
when engine is
started)Control mode for normal driving on local
roads, freeways, and the like.
Smooth shifting is performed at low engine
speeds for economical driving with good ride
quality.
SportControl mode for driving on mountain roads,
roads with uphill and downhill slopes, and
freeways with long downhill slopes where
engine braking is necessary.
Compared to “Normal” mode, shifting occurs
at higher engine speeds and is quicker. In
addition, quick downshifting is possible when
the accelerator pedal is depressed for quick
acceleration or when the brakes are applied.
S-Sport
(Super Sport)In the “S-Sport” mode, shifting occurs at
higher engine speeds and is even quicker than
in the “Sport” mode.
“S-Sport” mode is designed to be used while
driving on closed circuit tracks. Do not use
this mode on public roads.
