E00201500021
This paragraph summarizes the major items of the
Auto
Stop & Go (AS&G) system such as the char-
acteristics, operating procedures, etc. For details,
refer to “Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system” on
page 4-18.
The

Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system reduces the
emission of exhaust gases and increases fuel effi-
ciency.
The Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system automatical-
ly stops and restarts the engine without the use of
the ignition switch or the engine switch when the
vehicle is stopped, such as at traffic lights or in a
traffic jam.
Activation E00201600051
The Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system is automati-
cally activated when the ignition switch is turned to
the

“ON” position or the operation mode is put in
ON. Deactivation
E00201700065
You

can deactivate the system by pressing the “Au-
to Stop & Go (AS&G) OFF” switch. Then the “ ”
display/indicator will turn on. Auto stop

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
E00202300055
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 4-18.
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

l When
taking a key on flights, do not
press any switches on the key while on
the plane. If a switch is pressed on the
plane, the key emits electromagnetic
waves, which could adversely affect the
plane’s flight operation.
When carrying a key in a bag, be careful
that no switches on the key can be easily
pressed by mistake. NOTE
l The

key number is stamped on the tag as in-
dicated in the illustration.
Make a record of the key number and store
the key and key number tag in separate pla-
ces, so that you can order a key in the event
the original keys are lost.
l The key is a precision electronic device with
a built-in signal transmitter. Please observe
the following in order to prevent a malfunc-
tion.
• Do not leave in a place that is exposed todirect sunlight, for example on the dash-
board.
• Do not disassemble or modify.
• Do not excessively bend the key or sub- ject it to strong impacts.
• Do not expose to water.
• Keep away from magnetic key rings.
• Keep away from audio systems, personal computers, TVs, and other equipment
that generates a magnetic field.
• Keep away from devices that emit strong electromagnetic waves, such as cellular
phones, wireless devices and high frequen-
cy equipment (including medical devices).
• Do not clean with ultrasonic cleaners or similar equipment.
• Do not leave the key where it may be ex- posed to high temperature or high humid-
ity.
l The engine is designed so that it will not
start if the ID code registered in the immobil-
izer computer and the key’s ID code do not
match. Refer to the “Electronic immobilizer”
section for details and key usage.

theft starting system) E00300201801
[For
vehicles equipped with keyless operation sys-
tem]
For information on operations for vehicles equip-
ped with the keyless operation system, refer to
“Keyless operation system: Electronic immobilizer
(Anti-theft starting system)” on page 1-11.
[Except for vehicles equipped with keyless opera-
tion system]
The electronic immobilizer is designed to signifi-
cantly reduce the possibility of vehicle theft. The
purpose of the system is to immobilize the vehicle
if an invalid start is attempted. A valid start attempt
can only be achieved by using a key “registered” to
the immobilizer system.
NOTE
l In the following cases, the vehicle may not
be able to receive the registered ID code
from the registered key and the engine may
not start.
• When the key contacts a key ring or othermetallic or magnetic object (Type A)
• When the key grip contacts metal of an- other key (Type B)
• When the key contacts or is close to other immobilizing keys (including keys of oth-
er vehicles) (Type C)

In cases like these, remove the object or
additional key from the vehicle key. Then
try again to start the engine. If the engine does not start, we recom-
mend
you to contact your MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point. Locking and unlocking
