Depress the clutch pedal while the gearshift lever is
in

the “N” (Neutral) position. The “ ” display/indi-
cator

turns off and the engine restarts automatically. System characteristics
E00202300026
The principle of the Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) sys-
tem

is that it adapts to the vehicle’s needs (i.e. ener-
gy supply). This means that in certain circumstan-
ces the engine will not stop and in other circumstan-
ces the engine will restart by itself.
Circumstances when the engine will restart by itself E00202400027
l The
interior temperature rises and the air con-
ditioning starts operating in order to lower
the temperature.
l Electric power consumption is high.
l The brake pedal is depressed repeatedly. l
Vehicle
speed is 3 km/h (2 mph) or higher
when coasting on a slope.
l Mode selection dial is set to the demister po-
sition.
l When the air conditioning is operated by
pressing the air conditioning switch.
l When the preset temperature of the air condi-
tioning is changed significantly.
l When the air conditioning is operated in AU-
TO mode where the temperature control dial
is set to the max. hot or the max. cool posi-
tion (for vehicles with automatic air condi-
tioning).
Other than the conditions mentioned above, the en-
gine may restart automatically. For details, refer to
“Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system” on page 4-17.
Circumstances when the engine will not stop E00202500028
l Ambient
temperature is lower than approxi-
mately 3 °C.
l After the engine restarts automatically and
the vehicle stops again within 10 seconds.
l After the engine restarts automatically and
the vehicle remains stationary.
l Mode selection dial is set to the demister po-
sition (see illustration below). General information

CAUTION
l
The indication lamp (A) will flash orange
when there is a problem or malfunction
in the keyless operation system. Never
drive if the indication lamp on the engine
switch is flashing orange. Immediately
contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point.
l If the engine switch operation is not
smooth and feels like it is sticking, do not
operate the switch. Immediately contact a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.
NOTE l When

operating the engine switch, press the
switch all the way in. If the switch is not
fully pressed, the engine may not start or the
operation mode may not change. If the en-
gine switch is pressed correctly, there is no
need to hold the engine switch down.
Operation mode of the engine switch and its func-
tion
OFF
The indication lamp on the engine switch turns off.
The operation mode cannot be put in OFF when
the selector lever is in any position other than the
“P” (PARK) position (CVT).
ACC
The audio system and other electric devices can be
operated.
The indication lamp on the engine switch illumi-
nates orange. ON
All electric devices can be operated.
The

indication lamp on the engine switch illumi-
nates green.
The indication lamp turns off when the engine is
running.
NOTE
l Your vehicle is equipped with an electronic
immobilizer. To start the engine, the ID code
which the transponder inside the key sends
must match the one registered in the immobil-
izer computer.
(Refer to “Electronic immobilizer (Anti-theft
starting system)” on page 1-11.)
Changing the operation mode E00312200032
If you press the engine switch without depressing
the

brake pedal (CVT) or the clutch pedal (M/T),
you can change the operation mode in the order of
OFF, ACC, ON, OFF. CAUTION
l
When
the engine is not running, put the
operation mode in OFF. Leaving the oper-
ation mode in ON or ACC for a long time
when the engine is not running may cause
the battery to be discharged, making it im-
possible to start the engine, lock and un-
lock the steering wheel.
l When the battery is disconnected, the cur-
rent operation mode is memorized. After
reconnecting the battery, the memorized
mode is selected automatically. Before dis-
connecting the battery for repair or re-
placement, make sure to put the opera-
tion mode in OFF.
Be careful if you are not sure which oper-
ation mode the vehicle is in when the bat-
tery is run down.
l The operation mode cannot be changed
from OFF to ACC or ON if the keyless op-
eration key is not detected to be in the ve-
hicle. Refer to “Keyless operation system:
Operating range for starting the engine
and changing the operation mode” on
page 1-09.
ACC power auto-cutout function E00312300033
After approximately 30 minutes has elapsed with
the

operation mode in ACC, the function automati-
cally cuts out the power for the audio system and
other electric devices that can be operated with that
mode.
When the engine switch is pressed while the opera-
tion mode is in ACC, the power is supplied again
to those devices. Locking and unlocking

Tips for starting l The

operation mode can be in any mode to
start the engine. l
The
starter motor will be turning for up to ap-
proximately 15 seconds if the engine switch
is released at once. Pressing the engine
switch again while the starter motor is still
turning will stop the starter motor. The start-
er motor will be turning for up to approxi-
mately 30 seconds while the engine switch is
pressed.
If the engine does not start, wait for a while
and then attempt to start the engine again. Try-
ing repeatedly with the starter motor still run-
ning will damage the starter mechanism.
l [Diesel-powered vehicles]
While the vehicle is stationary with the
clutch pedal fully depressed, the engine revo-
lutions do not rise to over 3,000 rpm in order
to protect the engine even if the accelerator
pedal is depressed. WARNING
l Never
run the engine in a closed or poor-
ly ventilated area any longer than is nee-
ded to move your vehicle in or out of the
area. Carbon monoxide gases are odour-
less and can be fatal. CAUTION
l
Never
attempt to start the engine by push-
ing or pulling the vehicle.
l Do not run the engine at high rpm or
drive the vehicle at high speed until the en-
gine has had a chance to warm up. Starting the engine (petrol-powered vehicles)

may not be selected while the engine coolant
temperature is low.
Stopping the engine E00312600023 WARNING
l Do
not operate the engine switch while
driving except in an emergency. If the en-
gine is stopped while driving, the brake
servomechanism will cease to function
and braking efficiency will deteriorate.
