3Power windows
N00510800338
In an ECLIPSE SPYDER, operating a power window switch
causes the door window and quarter window to move together.
However, within about 4 inches from the fully closed position,
only the door window moves without accompanying the quar-
ter window.
NOTEDepending on the position of the door window, the door
window may briefly stop then continue moving before
reaching the fully closed position.
Never try to operate the main switch and sub switch in dif-
ferent directions at the same time. This will freeze the
window in position.
Operating the power windows repeatedly with the engine
stopped will run down the battery. Use the window
switches only while the engine is running. NOTEIf a power window stops moving during operation due to a
drop in the battery voltage, it may not automatically return
to normal operability when the battery has been charged.
In this event, take the following corrective action:
With the door closed, pull up the power window switch to
fully close the window. After releasing the switch, pull it
up again for approximately 1 second. Normal opening and
closing of the window will then be possible.
1- Open (down)
2- Close (up)
WA R N I N G
!Before operating the power windows, make sure
that nothing can be trapped (head, hands, fingers,
etc.) in the window. Never leave the vehicle without removing the key. Never leave a child alone in the vehicle.

NOTEWhen leaving the vehicle unattended, be sure to close the
sunroof and remove the ignition key.
Do not try to operate the sunroof if it is frozen closed
(after snowfall or during extreme cold).
Do not sit on or place heavy luggage on the sunroof or
roof opening edge.
Do not apply any force that may cause damage to the sun-
roof.
Release the switch when the sunroof has reached a com-
pletely open or completely closed position.
If the sunroof does not operate when the sunroof switch is
operated, release the switch and check whether something
is trapped by the sunroof. If nothing is trapped, have the
sunroof checked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer.
Be careful when tilting up the sunroof if a ski carrier or a
roof carrier is installed. Depending on the model of ski
carrier or roof carrier, the sunroof may contact the carrier
when the sunroof is tilted up.
Be sure to close the sunroof completely when washing the
vehicle or when leaving the vehicle.Do not put any wax on the weatherstrip (black rubber)
around the sunroof opening. If it is waxed, the weather-
strip cannot maintain a weatherproof seal with the sun-
roof.
After washing the vehicle or after it has rained, wipe off
any water that is on the sunroof before operating it.
Operating the sunroof repeatedly with the engine turned
off will run down the battery. Operate the sunroof only
while the engine is running.
WA R N I N G
!Do not stick your head, hands or anything else in the
sunroof opening. Before operating the sunroof, make sure that noth-
ing can be trapped (head, hands, fingers, etc.).Never leave a child (or other person who is incapa-
ble of safely operating the sunroof switch) alone in
the vehicle.

ciency will be reduced. Also, the power steering sys-

Starting
N00512600633
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
coolant temperature gauge indicator starts to move. A
longer warm up period will only consume extra fuel.
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.

Starting the engineYour 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 conditionsTo 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).NOTEFor 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 automatic transaxle, make sure the
selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) position.
6. Turn the ignition key to the “ON” position and make cer-
tain that all warning lights are functioning properly before
starting the engine.
7. Turn the ignition key to the “START” position without
pressing the accelerator pedal. Release the key when the
engine starts. NOTEMinor noises may be heard on engine start-up. These will
disappear as the engine warms up.
Release the ignition key as soon as the engine starts.
Otherwise, the starter motor will be damaged.
