The CVT makes no engine speed to vehicle speed ratio change when accelerating. The initial movement of the vehicle is slow when the vehicle starts moving.(for vehicles with CVT)
There may be a problem in the CVT. If the or warning lights on the multi-infor
mation display will not turn off, or if
they are coming on frequently, please have
the vehicle checked at your nearest Mitsubi-
shi Motors dealer.

The temperature of the Twin Clutch SST fluid
is high, a safety device in the Twin Clutch
SST has been activated due to a possible malfun
ction in the Twin Clutch SST, or there is
a possible malfunction in the engine electronic control module.

5. While pushing the ignition switch from “LOCK” (PUSH OFF) to “LOCK” (PUSH ON), set the ignition switch to the “ON” position and confirm that all warn-ing lights and warning displays are oper- ating properly. 6. Without pressing the accelerator pedal,slowly turn the ignition switch to the “START” position to start the engine. Release the ignition switch when theengine 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 rear window defogger, are turned off.
2. While depressing the brake pedal on vehi- cles equipped with continuously variable transmission (CVT) or Twin Clutch SST or the clutch pedal on the vehiclesequipped with manual transaxle, press the accelerator pedal halfway and hold it there, then crank the engine. Release theaccelerator pedal, immediately after the engine starts. 3. If the engine still will not start, the enginecould be flooded with too much gasoline.While depressing the brake pedal on vehi- cles equipped with CVT or Twin Clutch SST or the clutch pedal on the vehiclesequipped with manual
transaxle, push the
accelerator pedal all the way down and hold it there, then crank the engine for 5to 6 seconds. Return the ignition switch to the “LOCK” position and release the accelerator pedal. Wait a few seconds, andthen crank the engine again for 5 to 6 sec- onds while depressing the brake pedal or the clutch pedal, but do not push theaccelerator pedal. Release the ignition key if the engine starts.
If the engine fails to
start, repeat these procedures. If theengine still will not start, contact your local Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice for assistance.
When the ambient temperature is -4°F (-20°C) or lower on vehicles with CVT, or -22°F (-30°C) or lower on vehicles with Twin Clutch SST, it may not be possible to startfrom a standstill even with the selector lever (CVT) or the gearshift lever (Twin Clutch SST) in the “D” (DRIVE) position. This phenomenon occurs because the trans- axle has not warmed up sufficiently; it doesnot indicate a problem. If this occurs, place the selector lever (CVT) or the gearshift lever (Twin Clutch SST) in the “P” (PARK) posi-tion and let the engine idle for at least 10 min- utes. The transaxle will warm up, and you will beable to drive normally. Do not leave the vehicle during warm-up operation.
NOTE
 Minor noises may be heard on engine start- up. These will disappear as the engine warms up.

2. Install the cover of the ignition switch. 3. Reinsert the emergency key into theF. A . S . T. - k e y.
Steering wheel lock Turn the emergency key to the “LOCK” posi- tion. Turn the steering wheel until it is locked. Turn the emergency key to the “ACC” posi- tion while moving the steering wheel slightly.
Tips for starting  Do not operate the starter motor continu- ously 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 emergency key back to the “LOCK” position, wait a few seconds, and then try again. Trying repeatedly withthe engine or starter motor still turning will damage the starter mechanism.  If the engine will not start because the bat- tery is weak or discharged, refer to “Jump-starting the engine” on page 8-2 for instructions.
NOTE
 For vehicles with CVT or Twin Clutch SST, the emergency key cannot be removed unless the selector lever (CVT) or the gearshift lever (Twin Clutch SST) is set to the “P” (PARK) position.NOTE
 Always install the cover of the ignition switch when not using the emergency key. Not doing so could cause damage if foreignmaterial such as dust
gets into the keyhole of
the ignition switch.CAUTION Do not turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position while the vehicle is moving. This will cause the steering wheel to lock, making it impossible to operate the vehicle.  If the engine is stopped while driving, the power brake booster will stop functioning and greater effort for braking will be required. Also, the power steering systemwill not function and it will require greater effort to manually steer the vehicle.
 Do not leave the ignition switch in the “ON” position for a long time when the engine is not running. The battery will run down. Do not turn the ignition switch to the “START” position when the engine is run- ning. It will damage the starter motor.

CAUTION
CAUTION Remove the emergency key when leaving the vehicle. If your vehicle needs to be towed, turn the emergency key to the “ACC” position tounlock the steering wheel.NOTE
 If the front wheels are turned, the anti-theft lock may sometimes make it difficult to turnthe emergency key from “LOCK” to “ACC”. Firmly turn the steering wheel to the left or to the right as you turn the emergency key.

4. Insert the F.A.S.T.-key into the emergency key. 5. Press and hold the brake pedal down with your right foot. 6. Press and hold the clutch pedal all the waydown (manual transaxle).
7. On vehicles with manual transaxle, place the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral) position. On vehicles with CVT or Twin ClutchSST, make sure the selector lever (CVT) or the gearshift lever (Twin Clutch SST) is in the “P” (PARK) position. 8. Turn the emergency key with the F.A.S.T.-key to the “ON” position andmake certain that all warning lights and warning displays are functioning properly before starting the engine.9. Turn the emergency key with the F.A.S.T.-key to the “START” position without pressing the accelerator pedal.Release the emergency key with the F.A.S.T.-key when the engine starts.
10. Remove the F.A.S.T.-key from the emer-
gency key.
NOTE
 For models equipped with a manual trans- axle, the starter will
not operate unless the
clutch pedal is fully depressed (Clutch inter- lock). This is a safety feature.
NOTE
 On vehicles with continuously variable transmission (CVT) or Twin Clutch SST, the starter will not operate unless the selector lever (CVT) or the gearshift lever (TwinClutch SST) is in the “P” (PARK) position or the selector lever (CVT) or the gearshift lever (Twin Clutch SST) is in the “N” (NEU-TRAL) position with the brake pedal depressed. For safety reasons, start the engine in the “P”(PARK) position so that the wheels are locked.
NOTE
 Minor noises may be heard on engine start- up. These will disappear as the engine warms up. WA R N I N G Make sure to remove the F.A.S.T.-key from the emergency key after the engine is started.If not removed, the F.A.S.T.-key could fall to the floor, which may interfere with pedal operation.Furthermore, the F.A.S.T.-key could pre- vent the driver’s knee airbag from inflat- ing normally or could be propelled tocause serious injury if the airbag inflates.NOTE
 When using the emergency key to start the engine, first remove the key from the key holder. If the emergency key is attached to a key holder (key ring), it may become impos-sible to insert the keyless operation key into the emergency key, and it may prevent the engine from being started.

The electronic immobilizer is designed to sig- nificantly reduce the possibility of vehicle theft. The purpose of the system is to immo-bilize the vehicle if an invalid start isattempted. A valid start attempt can only be achieved (subject to certain conditions) using a F.A.S.T.-Key “registered” to the immobi-lizer system. All of the keys provided with your new vehi- cle have been programmed to the vehicle’selectronics.
N00561000039
Only the F.A.S.T.-keys that have been pro-grammed to the vehicle’s electronics can be used to start the vehicle. If you lose the F.A.S.T.-key, you can order a F.A.S.T.-key from your authorized MitsubishiMotors dealer by referring to the key number. To prevent vehicle theft, the ID codes for all the F.A.S.T.-keys except the one for the lostF.A.S.T. -key must be programmed again.
