Starting the engine 5-58 Features and controls
5
This model is equipped with an electronically controlled fuel injection system. This is a sys- tem that automatically controls fuel injection.There is usually no need to depress the accel- erator pedal when starting the engine. The starter should not be run for more than15 seconds at a time. To prevent battery drain, wait a few seconds between attempts to restart the engine. 1. Make sure all occupants are properly seated with seat belts fastened.
2. Insert the ignition key. 3. Press and hold the brake pedal down firmly with your right foot. 4. Make sure the selector lever is in the “P”(PARK) position. 5. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” posi- tion and make certain that all warninglights are functioning properly before starting the engine. 6. Turn the ignition switch to the “START”position without pressing the acceleratorpedal. Release the ignition switch when the engine starts.
After several attempts, you may experience that the engine still does not start. 1. Make sure that all electric devices, such as lights, air conditioning blower and rearwindow defogger, are turned off.
2. While depressing the brake pedal, press the accelerator pedal halfway and hold it there, then crank the engine. Release the accelerator pedal, immediately after theengine starts. 3. If the engine still will not start, the engine could be flooded with too much gasoline.While depressing the brake pedal, push the accelerator pedal all the way down and hold it there, then crank the engine for5 to 6 seconds. Return the ignition switchto the “OFF” and release the accelerator pedal. Wait a few seconds, and then crank the engine again for 5 to 6 seconds whiledepressing the brake pedal, but do not push the accelerator pedal. Release the ignition switch if the engine starts. If theengine fails to start, repeat these proce- dures. If the engine st
ill will not start, con-
tact your local Mitsubishi Motors dealeror a repair facility of your choice for assistance.
When the ambient temperature is -22 °F (-30 °C) or lower, it may not be possible tostart from a standstill even with the selector
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. Car- bon monoxide gas, which is odorless and extremely poisonous, could build up andcause serious injury or death.CAUTION Do not push-start the vehicle.Do not run the engine at high revolutions or drive at high speeds until the engine has hada chance to warm up. Release the ignition switch as soon as the engine starts. Otherwise, the starter motor will be damaged

lever in the “D” (DRIVE) or “R” (REVERSE) position. This occurs because the transaxle has not warmed up sufficiently; it does not indicate aproblem. If this occurs, place the selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position and let the engine idle for at least 10 minutes.The transaxle will warm up, and you will be able to start normally. Do not leave the vehicle during warm-upoperation.

N00560201073
The CVT will automatically and continuously change its gear ratio depending on road anddriving conditions. This helps achieve smooth driving and excellent fuel efficiency. If your vehicle is equipped with the spor-tronic steering wheel paddle shifter, you can manually shift the transmission up and down. Refer to “Sports mode” on page 5-63. The transmission prevents unnecessary upshifts even when the accelerator pedal is released and ensures smooth driving. According to the condi
tions, the transmission
will automatically shift to a lower gear ratioto achieve stronger engine braking. This may help reduce your need to use the service brake.
N00560301104
As an additional safe
ty precaution, models
equipped with a CVT have a shift-lock devicethat holds the selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position. To move the selector lever from the “P” (PARK) position to anotherposition, follow the steps below. 1. Press and hold the brake pedal down. 2. Press and hold the lock button. 3. Move the selector lever to the desired position.
The CVT selects an optimum ratio automati- cally when the selector lever is in the “D” (DRIVE) position, depending on the speed of the vehicle and the position of the acceleratorpedal. The selector lever (A) has two gates; the main gate (B) and sports mode gate (C).
Turbocharger operation
CAUTION Do not run the engine at high speeds (for example, by revving it or by acceleratingrapidly) immediately after starting it. Do not stop the engine immediately after high-speed or uphill driving. First allow the engine to idle to give the turbocharger a chance to cool down. Replace the engine oil at the specified inter- vals. If the engine oil is not replaced, the tur-bocharger could malfunction.

When the selector lever cannot be shiftedfrom the “P” (PARK) position to another position while the brake pedal is pressed andheld down with the ignition switch at the“ON” position or the operation mode in ON, the battery may be flat or the shift-lock mech- anism may be malfunctioning.Immediately have your vehicle checked by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.If you need to move the vehicle, shift the selector lever as follows. 1. Make sure the parking brake is firmly applied.2. Stop the engine if it is running.
The lock button must be pushed while the brake pedal is depressed to move the selector lever.
The lock button must be pushed to move the selector lever. The lock button need not be pushed to move the selector lever.
WA R N I N G If the lock button is always pushed to operate the selector lever, the lever may be accidentally shifted into the “P” (PARK)or “R” (REVERSE) position. Be sure not to push the lock button when performing the operations indicated by in the illustration. Always press the brake pedal when shift- ing the selector lever into a selector posi- tion from the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.When beginning to driv
e, do not shift the
selector lever from the “N” (NEUTRAL) position while pressing the acceleratorpedal. This will cause the vehicle to “jump” forward or backward.NOTE
 To prevent mistakes in operating the lever, make sure you stop briefly at each position. After operating, check the position in the multi-information display.  If the brake pedal is not depressed and held, the shift-lock device activates to prevent theselector lever from being moved from the “P” (PARK) position.
 For a shift indicated by in the illustra- tion, depress the brake pedal before moving the selector lever. If
you attempt to move the
selector lever before depressing the brake pedal, the selector lever may be immovable.

Whether the vehicle is stationary or inmotion, sports mode is selected by gently pushing the selector lever from the “D”(DRIVE) position into sports mode gate (A). To return to “D” (DRIVE) operation, gently push the selector lever back into the maingate (B).
In sports mode, gear shifts can be made rap- idly simply by moving the selector lever backward and forward or using the sportronic steering wheel paddle sh
ifter at the steering
wheel (for vehicles equipped with the spor- tronic steering wheel paddle shifter). In con- trast to a M/T, the sports mode allows gearshifts with the accelerator pedal depressed.
CAUTION Never shift into the “P” (PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in motion. If the lever is shifted into the “P” (PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in motion, the transmissionmay be damaged.
“N” NEUTRAL
WA R N I N G Never move the selector lever to the “N” (NEUTRAL) position while driving since you could accidentally slip it into the “P” (PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position,damaging the transmission. To prevent the vehicle from rolling when stopped on a slope, the engine should be started in the “P” (PARK) position, not in“N” (NEUTRAL) position.
 To prevent rolling, always keep your foot on the brake pedal when the vehicle is in “N” (NEUTRAL) position, or when shift- ing into or out of “N” (NEUTRAL) posi- tion.

(SHIFT DOWN) Transmission shifts down once by eachoperation.CAUTION In sports mode, the
driver must execute
upward shifts in accordance with prevailing road conditions, taking care to keep the engine speed below the tachometer’s redzone. Repeated continuous operation of the selec- tor lever or the sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter will continuously switch shift position. Shift ranges may not change when the lateral paddle shifters are operated at the same time.
NOTE
 Shift ranges can only be selected in a for- ward direction from 1st to 8th. To reverse or park the vehicle, move the selector lever to the “R” (REVERSE) or “P” (PARK) posi- tion.  To maintain good running performance, the transmission may refuse to perform anupshift when the selector lever or the spor- tronic steering wheel paddle shifter on the “ (SHIFT UP)” side is pulled at certain vehicle speeds. Also, to prevent over-revving of the engine, the transmission may refuse toperform a downshift when the selector lever or the sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter on the “ (SHIFT DOWN)” side is pulled at certain vehicle speeds. When this happens, a buzzer sounds to indicate that a downshift is not going to take place.  Downward shifts are made automatically when the vehicle slows down. Before the vehicle stops, 1st gear is automatically selected.  The upward shift may be made automatically in sports mode when the engine speed risesand approaches the tachometer’s red zone.

To gain extra acceleration in “D” (DRIVE) position (when passing another vehicle) push the accelerator to the floor. The CVT will automatically downshift.
For short waiting periods, such as at traffic lights, the vehicle can be left in selector leverposition and held stationary with the service brake. For longer waiting periods with the enginerunning, place the selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position and apply the parking brake, while holding the vehicle stationarywith the service brake. Prior to moving off after having stopped the vehicle, make sure that the selector lever is in“D” (DRIVE) position or Sports mode posi- tion.
To park the vehicle, first bring it to a com- plete stop, firmly apply the parking brake,and then move the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position. If the CVT does not shift while driving, or your vehicle does not pick up enough speedwhen starting on an uphill slope, it may be that there is something unusual happening in the transmission, causing a safety device toactivate. Immediately have your vehicle checked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
 Operating the accelerator pedal while the other foot is resting on the brake pedal will affect braking efficiency and may cause pre- mature wear of brake pads. Use the selector lever in the correct shift position in accordance with driving condi- tions.Never coast downhill backward in the driv- ing shift position {“D” (DRIVE) position or sports mode} or coast forward in the “R”(REVERSE) position. Engine stopping and increased brake pedal and steering effort could lead to an accident. Do not rev the engine with the brake pedal pressed when the vehicle is stationary.This can damage the CVT. Also, when you depress the accelerator pedal while holding down the brake pedal with theselector lever in the “D” (DRIVE) position, the engine revolutions may not rise as high as when performing the same operation withthe selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
Passing acceleration
CAUTION
NOTE
 In sports mode, downshifts do not take place when the accelerator is depressed all the way to the floor.
Waiting
CAUTION To avoid transmission overheating, never try to keep your vehicle stationary on a hill by using the accelerator pedal. Always apply the parking brake and/or service brake. Do not rev the engine unnecessarily while the vehicle is stationary. Unexpected acceler-ation may occur if the selector lever is in a position other than “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL).
Parking When the CVT makes no speed change
NOTE
 When the warning display and “SLOW DOWN” or the warning display and “SERVICE REQUIRED” appear on the information screen in the multi-information display, there could be
a malfunction in the
CVT. Refer to “Continuously variable trans-mission (CVT): Warning display” on page 5-62.
