Safety mechanismIf a hand or head is trapped in the closing sunroof opening, the
safety mechanism will cause the sunroof to re-open automati-
cally. The opened sunroof will become operational again after
a few seconds.
If the safety mechanism is activated 5 or more times consecu-
tively, normal closing of the sunroof will be aborted. To return
the sunroof to normal operation:
1. Press the switch (3) repeatedly, setting the sunroof in the
tilt up position.
2. Once the tilt up position has been reached, press and hold
the switch (3) for at least 3 seconds.
3. Press the switch (3) again to fully close the sunroof.
4. After pressing the switch (1) to perform full opening,
press the switch (3) to fully close the sunroof.NOTE
Do not stop the sunroof before it is completely opened or
closed in steps 3 and 4 above. If this should happen repeat
the process from step 1.
5. The sunroof should now operate in the normal manner.
NOTE
When 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 or a repair facility of your choice.

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 rain be sure to 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.
CAUTION
!
The safety mechanism is deactivated just before the
sunroof closes. This allows the sunroof to close com-
pletely. Therefore be especially careful that fingers
are not trapped in the sunroof opening.

tion. ACCAllows operation of electrical accessories with the engine off. ON The engine runs and all accessories can be used.
START Engages the starter. After the engine starts, release the key and
it will return automatically to the “ON” position.NOTE
If your vehicle is equipped with ignition switch illumina-
tion, the ignition switch will be illuminated:
• The ignition switch illumination comes on while the
driver’s door is opened and remains on for about 30 sec-
onds after the driver’s door is closed.
• When you remove the ignition key from the ignition
switch, it will be illuminated for about 30 seconds.
However, it will go off even while the illumination
comes on if the ignition switch is turned to “ON” posi-
tion.

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 to the
immobilizer computer.
(Refer to the section “Electronic immobilizer” on page 3-
3.)

Your vehicle is equipped with Daytime Running Lights.
When the ignition key is in the “ON” position, the low
beam of the headlight will illuminate dimly. (Refer to

turn the key to the “LOCK” position and remove it.NOTE
The key cannot be removed unless the selector lever is set
in the “P” (PARK) position.
Key reminder buzzer
N00551000065
If the driver’s door is opened while the ignition key is in the
“LOCK” or “ACC” position, a tone will sound.
CAUTION
!
If the engine is turned off while driving, the power
brake booster will stop functioning and braking effi-
ciency will be reduced. Also, the power steering sys-
tem will not function and it will require greater
effort to manually steer the vehicle.

Do not leave the key in the “ON” position for a long
time when the engine is not running. This will cause
the battery to run down.
Do not turn the key to the “START” position when
the engine is running. It will damage the starter
motor.

3 Starting
N00512600705
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.
Starting the engineYour vehicle is equipped with an electronically controlled fuel
injection system, which automatically controls the release of
fuel. There is 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.
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 with your right foot.
4. Make sure the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) posi-
tion.
5. Turn the ignition key to the “ON” position and make cer-
tain that all warning lights are functioning properly before
starting the engine.
6. Turn the ignition key to the “START” position without
pressing the accelerator pedal. Release the key when the
engine starts. NOTE
Minor noises may be heard on engine start-up. These will
disappear as the engine warms up.
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 key as soon as the engine starts.
Otherwise, the starter motor will be damaged.

3 Automatic transaxle
N00513200131
Designed for the most efficient control and equipped with self-
adapting capabilities, the electronically controlled transaxle
used in your vehicle selects the most favorable gear for each
type of driving and road condition.DRIVING UPHILLThe transaxle may not shift to a higher gear if the computer
determines your current speed would be affected.
For smoother operation, the transaxle may not shift if you
release the throttle while climbing a steep hill. This is normal
because the computer controls the shifting. After reaching the
top of the hill, your normal gear shift function will resume.DRIVING DOWNHILLWhen traveling down steep grades and using the brakes, the
computer may automatically select a lower gear. This helps
engine braking efforts, reducing your need to use the brakes.
NOTE
During the break-in period or immediately after recon-
necting the battery, your vehicle may not shift smoothly.
This does not indicate a problem in the transaxle. Shifting
will become smoother once the transaxle has been shifted
several times by the electronic control system.Selector lever operation
N00513800283
As an additional safety precaution, models equipped with an
automatic transaxle have a shift-lock device that holds the
selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position. To move the selector
lever from the “P” (PARK) position to another position, follow
the steps below.
1. Press and hold the brake pedal down.
2. Move the selector lever to the desired position.NOTE
The selector lever cannot be moved from “P” (PARK) to
another position if the ignition key is at the “LOCK” posi-
tion, or has been removed, or if the brake pedal is not
pressed and held down.
CAUTION
!
The electronically controlled transaxle system is
strictly intended to provide supplementary func-
tions. When driving downhill under certain condi-
tions, when the automatic transaxle is cold
immediately after starting, no automatic downshift
may be made. The driver should move the selector
lever to shift down to a lower gear (3rd gear or 2nd
gear), which will permit the engine to begin braking.
