Do not operate the starter motor continu- ously for longer than
15 seconds as this
could run the battery down or damage thestarter 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 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. The engine is warmed up enough for driv- ing when the bar graph of engine coolant temperature display starts to move. A lon-ger warm up period will only consume extra fuel.

[For vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.- key.]For information on operation for vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key, refer to “F.A.S.T.-key: Starting the engine” on page5-20. [Except for vehicles equipped with the F. A . S . T. - k e y. ]Your vehicle is equipped with an electroni- cally controlled fuel injection system, which automatically controls the release of fuel.
There is usually no need to depress the accel- erator 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. Make sure the parking brake is applied.4. Press and hold the brake pedal downfirmly with your right foot. 5. Press and hold the clutch pedal all the way down (manual transaxle). 6. On vehicles with manual transaxle, place the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral) position.On vehicles with continuously variable transmission (CVT), make sure the selec- tor lever is in the “P” (PARK) position.
Starting and stopping the engine Tips for starting
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 rpms or drive
at high speeds until the engine has had a chance to warm up. Release the ignition switch as soon as the engine starts. Otherwise, the starter motorwill be damaged.
Starting the engine
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.

7. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” posi- tion and make certain that all warning lights are functioning properly beforestarting the engine.8. Turn the ignition switch to the “START” pedal. Release the key when the enginestarts.
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 on vehi- cles equipped with continuously variable transmission (CVT) or the clutch pedal on the vehicles equipped with manual trans-axle, press the accelerator pedal halfway and hold it there, then crank the engine. Release the accelerator pedal, immedi-ately after the engine starts. 3. If the engine still will not start, the engine could be flooded with too much gasoline.While depressing the brake pedal on vehi-cles equipped with CVT or the clutch pedal on the vehicles
equipped with man-
ual transaxle, push the accelerator pedalall the way down and hold it there, then crank the engine for 5 to 6 seconds. Return the ignition switch to the “LOCK”position and release the accelerator pedal. Wait a few seconds, and then crank the engine again for 5 to 6 seconds whiledepressing the brake pedal or the clutch pedal, but do not push the accelerator pedal. Release the ignition key if theengine starts. If the engine fails to start, repeat these procedures. If the engine still will not start, contact your local Mitsubi-shi 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, itmay not be possible to start from a standstill even with the selector lever in the “D” (DRIVE) or “R” (REVERSE) position.This phenomenon occurs because the trans-axle has not warmed up sufficiently; it does not indicate a problem. If it occurs, place the selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position andlet 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-up operation.

1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop. 2. Fully engage the parking brake while depressing the brake pedal. 3. For vehicles with a manual transaxle, turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” posi- tion to stop the engine, and then move thegearshift lever to the 1st (on a uphill) or “R” (Reverse) (on a downhill) position.
NOTE
On vehicles with CVT, the starter will not operate unless the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL) position. For safety reasons, start the engine in the “P” (PARK) position so that the wheels arelocked.NOTE
Minor noises may be heard on engine start- up. These will disappear as the engine warms up.

Always use care to change the gear with thevehicle speed matched to the engine speed. Proper shifting will improve fuel economyand prolong engine life. Avoid shifting down at high speed, as this may cause excessive engine speed (thetachometer needle into the red zone) and damage the engine.
Manual transaxle
(if so
equipped)
NOTE
During cold weather, shifting may be diffi- cult until the transaxle lubricant has warmed up. This is normal and not harmful to the transaxle.
To start
CAUTION Do not move the gearshift lever into reverse while the vehicle is moving forward; doing so will damage the transaxle. Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal because this will cause premature clutch wear or damage. Do not coast in the “N” (Neutral) position (illegal in many states). Do not use the gearshift lever as a handrest, because this can result in premature wear ofthe transaxle shift forks.NOTE
If it is hard to shift into 1st, depress the clutch pedal a second time; the shift will then be easier. To shift into reverse from 5th gear, move the gearshift lever to the “N” (Neutral) position, and then shift it into reverse.
Proper shift points
CAUTION Avoid downshifting that may cause the tachometer pointer to enter the red zone. This puts the engine at risk of being dam- aged.

The CVT will automatically and continuouslychange its gear ratio depending on road and driving conditions. This helps achievesmooth driving and excellent fuel efficiency. Also you can manually shift up and shift down the transmission. Refer to “Sportsmode” on page 5-64. 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.
N00513800384
As an additional safe
ty precaution, models
equipped with a continuously variable trans- mission have a shift-lock device that holdsthe selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position. To move the selector lever from the “P” (PARK) position to another position, followthe steps below. 1. Press and hold the brake pedal down. 2. Move the selector lever to the desired position.
The CVT has 2 forward selector positions and 1 reverse selector position. The CVT selects an optimum ratio automati-cally when the selector lever is in the “D” (DRIVE) or “L” (LOW) position, depending on the speed of the vehicle and the position ofthe accelerator pedal.The selector lever has 5 positions.

The CVT has 2 forward selector positions and 1 reverse selector 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 2 gates; the main gate (B) and the manual gate (C).
With the brake pedal depressed, set the selector lever in the gate to operate. Set the selector lever in the gate to operate.
WA R N I N G Always depress the brake pedal when shifting the selector lever into a selector position from the “P” (PARK) or “N”(NEUTRAL) position. When beginning to driv
e, do not shift the
selector lever from the “P” (PARK) or“N” (NEUTRAL) position while depress- ing the accelerator pedal. Doing so is dan- gerous because the vehicle will “jump”forward or backward.
NOTE
To ensure proper transmission operation, stop at each detent position when shifting. After shifting, check the position in the multi-information display. If the brake pedal is not depressed and held, the shift-lock device activates to prevent the selector lever from being moved from the“P” (PARK) position. For a shift indicated by in the illustration, depress the brake pedal before moving the selector lever. If you attempt to move theselector lever before depressing the brake pedal, the selector lever will be immovable.

If the ambient temperature is low, the selector lever position display on the multi-informa- tion display may blink when the selector lever is placed in the “D” (DRIVE) or “R”(REVERSE) position immediately after the engine has been started. This indicates that the transmission requires warming up. Whilethe display is blinking, the vehicle will not move, because the transmission keeps disen- gaging until the warm up is completed even ifthe selector lever is placed in the “D” or “R” position. When the selector lever position display is blinking, perform the following procedure: 1. Depress the brake pedal with your right foot and place the selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position for several seconds.
2. Keep depressing the brake pedal and then place the selector lever in the “D” (DRIVE) or “R” (REVERSE) position. If the selector lever position display stopsblinking, the warm up is completed and the transmission will function normally. 3. If the display is still blinking, repeat steps1 and 2 above.

This position locks the transmission to pre- vent the vehicle from moving. The engine canbe started from the “PARK” position. Move the lever to this position only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop.
At this position, the transmission is disen- gaged. It is the same as the neutral position ona manual transaxle and should be used when the vehicle is not moving for an extended length of time during driving, such as in atraffic jam. This position is used for most city and high- way driving. The transmission will automati-cally and continuously change its gear ratio depending on road and driving conditions.
CAUTION If a malfunction occurs in the CVT while driving, the warning display or the warning display will appear on the informa- tion screen in the multi-information display. In this case, immediately park your vehicle in a safe place and follow these procedures: [When warning display is showing] The continuously variable transmission (CVT) fluid is overheating. The engine con- trol may activate to lower the CVT fluid tem-perature, causing the engine revolutions and vehicle speed to decrease. In this case, take one of the following procedures:• Slow down your vehicle.• Stop your vehicle in a safe place, put the selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position, and open the engine hood with the enginerunning to allow the engine to cool down.After a while, confirm that the warning display is no longer showing. It is safe to continue driving if the display is no longer showing. If the warning display remains or flashes frequently, have your vehicleinspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
[When warning display is showing] It may be that there is something unusual happening in the CVT, causing a safety device to activate. Have your vehicleinspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice as soon as possible.
Selector lever positions

While driving with the selector lever in the “D” (DRIVE), sports mode can be selected by pulling one of the sportronic steeringwheel shifters toward you. In sports mode, rapid
shifting is possible sim-
ply by operating the sportronic steering wheelpaddle shifter.Unlike the manual transaxle, sports mode allows shifting with the accelerator pedal depressed.
NOTE
The upward shift may be made automatically in sports mode when the engine revolutions rises and approaches the tachometer’s red zone (the red-colored part of the tachometer dial). Shift ranges can only be selected in a for- ward direction from 1st to 6th. To reverse orpark the vehicle, move the selector lever to the “R” or “P” position. To maintain good running performance, the transmission may refuse to perform an upshift when the selector lever or sportronicsteering wheel paddle shifter is moved to the “+(SHIFT UP)” positi
on at certain vehicle
speeds. Also, to prevent over-revving of theengine, the transmission may refuse to per- form a downshift when the shift lever or sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter ismoved to the “- (SHIFT DOWN)” position at certain vehicle speeds. When this happens, a buzzer sounds to indicate that a downshift isnot going to take place. Move the selector lever gently between the manual and main gates and between posi- tions in the manual gate. And do not operate sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter vio-lently. Excessive force could damage the selector lever or sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter.
Except for vehicles with manual gate
NOTE
To return to “D” (DRIVE) operation, pull the sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter on the +(UP) side for longer than 2 seconds, orpark the vehicle to change the selector lever position indicator to “D” (DRIVE) and return to “D” (DRIVE) operation. When the sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter is operated with the selector lever inthe “L” (LOW) position, gear is not shifted because the selectable shift range is limited.
+ (SHIFT UP) Transmission shifts up once by each opera- tion. - (SHIFT DOWN) Transmission shifts down once by each operation.
CAUTION In sports mode, the driver must execute upward shifts in accordance with prevailing road conditions, taking care to keep theengine speed below the red zone.
