[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 page 5-19. [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, whichautomatically 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 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. Make sure the parking brake is applied.4. Press and hold the brake pedal down with your right foot. 5. Press and hold the clutch pedal all the waydown (manual transaxle).
6. On vehicles with manual transaxle, place the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral) position. On vehicles with Twin Clutch SST, makesure the gearshift lever is in the “P” (PARK) position. 7. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” posi- tion and make certain that all warninglights are functioning properly before starting the engine. 8. Turn the ignition switch to the “START”position without pressing the accelerator pedal. Release the key when the engine starts.
After several attempts, you may experience that the engine still does not start.
WA R N I N G Never run the engine in a closed or poorly ventilated area any longer than is neededto 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.
NOTE
 On vehicles with Twin Clutch SST, the starter will not operate unless the gearshift lever is in the “P” (P
ARK) position or the
gearshift lever is in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position with the brake pedal depressed. For safety reasons, start the engine in the “P”(PARK) position so that the wheels are locked.

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 Twin Clutch SST or the clutch pedal on the vehicles equipped with manual transaxle, press the accelera-tor pedal halfway and hold it there, then crank the engine. Release the accelerator 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 Twin Clutch SST orthe clutch pedal on the vehicles equipped with manual transaxle, push the accelera- tor pedal all the way down and hold itthere, then crank the engine for 5 to 6 sec- onds. Return the ignition switch to the “LOCK” position and release the acceler-ator pedal. Wait a few seconds, and then crank the engine again for 5 to 6 seconds while depressing the brake pedal or theclutch pedal, but do not push the accelera- tor pedal. Release the ignition key if the engine starts. If the engine fails to start,repeat these procedures. If the engine still will not start, contact your local Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facil-ity of your choice for assistance.
When the ambient temperature is -22 °F (-30 °C) or lower, it may not be possible to start from a standstill even with the gearshift lever in the “D” (DRIVE) or “R”(REVERSE) position. This phenomenon occurs because the trans- mission has not warmed up sufficiently; itdoes not indicate a problem. If it occurs,place the gearshift lever in the “P” (PARK) position and let the engine idle for at least 10 minutes.The transmission will warm up, and you will be able to start normally. Do not leave the vehicle during warm-upoperation.

N00540900019
To gain extra acceleration in “D” (DRIVE) position (when passing another vehicle) pushthe accelerator to the floor if it is safe to do so in traffic conditions. The Twin Clutch SST will automatically downshift.
N00541600042
The Twin Clutch SST may not upshift to a higher shift position if the computer deter- mines the current speed cannot be maintainedonce a higher shift position is engaged. For smoother vehicle performance, if you release the throttle while climbing a steepgrade, the Twin Clutch SST may not upshift. This is normal, as the computer is temporarily preventing shifting. After reaching the top ofthe hill, normal shift function will resume.
When traveling down steep grades, the com- puter may automatically select a lower shift
position. This function assists engine braking efforts, reducing the need for using the ser- vice brakes.
N00541000046
For short waiting periods, such as at trafficlights, the vehicle can be left in gearshift lever position and held stationary with theservice brake.For longer waiting periods with the engine running, place the gearshift lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position and apply the parkingbrake, while holding the vehicle stationary with the service brake. Prior to moving off after having stopped thevehicle, make sure that the gearshift lever is in “D” (DRIVE) position or manual shift position.
Passing acceleration

NOTE
 In manual shift, downshifts do not take place when the accelerator is depressed all the wayto the floor.
Uphill/downhill driving

DRIVING UPHILL
CAUTION Do not use the tendency of the vehicle to creep forward in order to drive at low speeds up hills. The transmission may be damaged and an accident may occur due to the following con-ditions.• The Twin Clutch SST fluid temperaturewill rise and can cause transmission dam- age.• If the vehicle is continuously driven at lowspeeds using the tendency of the vehicle to creep forward, the vehicle will vibrate or the warning display will appear on the information screen in the multi-information display to alert the driver that the Twin Clutch SST fluid temperature has risen.After that, if the Twin Clutch SST fluid temperature rises even higher, the transmis- sion protection control will operate.If this occurs, the vehicle may suddenly reverse as if the gearshift lever was in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position and cause anaccident. If the warning display appears or the transmission protection control operates, refer to “When warning display is showing” on page 5-60.

CAUTION Do not over-rely on the ASC. Even the ASC cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicl
e. This system, like
any other system, has limits and cannot help you to maintain traction and control of thevehicle in all circumstances. Reckless driv- ing can lead to accidents. It is the driver’s responsibility to drive carefully. This meanstaking into account the traffic, road and envi- ronmental conditions. Be sure to use the same specified type and size of tire on all four wheels. Otherwise, the ASC may not work properly. Do not install any aftermarket limited-slip differential (LSD) on your vehicle. The ASCmay stop functioning properly.NOTE
 An operation noise may be emitted from the engine compartment in the following situa-tions. The sound is associated with checking the operations of the ASC. At this time, you may feel a shock from the brake pedal if youdepress it. These do not indicate a malfunc- tion. • When the ignition switch is set to the “ON” position. • When the vehicle is driven for a while after the engine is turned on.

N00559200021
On slippery surfaces, the traction control function prevents the dr
ive wheels from spin-
ning excessive, thus helping the vehicle to start moving from a stopped condition. It also provides sufficient driving force and steeringperformance as the vehicle turns while press- ing the acceleration pedal.
N00546800010
The skid control function is designed to help the driver maintain control of the vehicle onslippery roads or during rapid steering
maneuvers. It works by controlling the engine output and the brake on each wheel.
N00559400209
When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, the ASC automatically turns ON. If the ASC OFF switch is pressed to turn OFF the ASC, the display in the meter comes on. Press the switch again to turn ON the ASC.
 When the ASC is activated, you may feel a vibration in the vehicle body or hear a whin- ing sound from the engine compartment. This indicates that the system is operating normally. It does not indicate a malfunction.  When the anti-lock braking system warning light is illuminated, the ASC is not active.
Traction control function
CAUTION When driving a vehicle on a snowy or icy road, be sure to install snow tires and drivethe vehicle at moderate speeds.
Skid control function

N00517500291
Overuse of the brake can cause poor brake response and premature wear of the brakepads. When driving down a long or steep hill, use engine braking by downshifting.
N00517600380
Your vehicle is equipped with power brakes for more braking force with minimal brake pedal effort.Your brakes are designe
d to operate at full
capacity, even if the power assist is lost. If the power assist is lost, the effort needed topress the brake pedal is greater. If you lose the power assist for some reason, the brakes will still work. If the power brake unit or either of the two brake hydraulic systems stops working prop-
erly, the rest of the br
ake system will still
work, but the vehicle will not slow down as quickly. You will know this has happened if you findyou need to depress the brake pedal down further, or harder when slowing down or stop- ping, or if the brake
warning light and the
warning display in the multi-information dis- play come on.
N00532500117
The disc brakes have an alarm that makes ametallic squeal when the brake pads have worn down enough to need service. If youhear this sound continuously, have the brake pads inspected at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of yourchoice.
NOTE
 Even if there is a difference in the amount of traction the wheels can get, if both of them are spinning, the limited-slip differential will not be effective.CAUTION Never start the engine while one of the front or rear wheels is jacked up and the other in contact with the ground; doing so may cause the vehicle to jump forward. Continuously attempting to extract the vehi- cle from snow, mud, etc. while using highengine rpm may damage the limited-slip dif- ferential. Using a compact spare wheel will adversely affect the limited-slip differential; replace the compact spare wheel with a standard sizewheel as soon as possible.
Service brake Brake pedal
WA R N I N G Do not leave any objects near the brake pedal or let a floor mat slide under it; doing so could prevent the full pedal stroke that would be necessary in an emergency. Make sure that the pedal canbe operated freely at all times. Make sure the floor mat is securely held in place.CAUTION It is important not to drive the vehicle with your foot resting on the brake pedal when braking is not required. This practice can result in very high brake temperatures, pre-mature pad wear, and possible damage to the brakes.
Power brakes
WA R N I N G Never coast downhill with the engine OFF. Keep the engine running whenever your vehicle is in motion. If you turn off the engine while driving, the power brakebooster will stop working and your brakes will not work as well. If the power assist is
lost or if either brake
hydraulic system stops working properly, take your vehicle to an authorized Mit-subishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice immediately.

N00567300076
The brake assist system is a device assisting drivers who cannot depress the brake pedalfirmly such as in emergency stop situations and provides greater braking force. If the brake pedal is depressed suddenly, the brakes will be applied with more force thanusual.
N00518000323
The power steering system operates while theengine is running. It helps reduce the effort needed to turn the steering wheel. The power steering system has mechanicalsteering capability in case the power assist is
lost. If the power assist is lost for some rea- son, you will still be able to steer your vehi- cle, but you will notice it takes much more effort to steer. If this happens, have your vehi-cle inspected at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
N00518300472
Cruise control is an automatic speed control system that keeps a set speed. It can be acti- vated at speeds from about 25 mph(40 km/h). Cruise control does not work at speeds below about 25 mph (40 km/h).
WA R N I N G Driving with worn brake pads will make it harder to stop, and can cause an accident.NOTE
 When the brakes are applied, a faint noise may be heard, but this
is a characteristic of
high-performance brakes; it does not indicatea problem.
Brake assist system
CAUTION The brake assist system is not a device designed to exercise braking force greater than its capacity. Make sure to always keep asufficient distance between vehicles in front of you without relying too much on the brake assist system.
NOTE
 Once the brake assist system is operational, it maintains great braking force even if the brake pedal is lightly released. To stop its operation, completely remove your foot from the brake pedal.  The brake assist system may become opera- tional when the brake pedal is fullydepressed even if it has not been depressed suddenly.  When the brake assist system is in use while driving, you may feel as if the depressed brake pedal is soft, the pedal moves in smallmotions in conjunction with the operation noise, or the vehicle body and the steering wheel vibrate. This occurs when the brakeassist system is operating normally and does not indicate faulty operation. Continue to depress the brake pedal.  You may hear an operation noise when the brake pedal is suddenly or fully depressedwhile stationary. This does not indicate a malfunction and the brake assist system is operating normally.
Power steering system
WA R N I N G Do not stop the engine while the vehicle is moving. Stopping the engine would makethe steering wheel extremely hard to turn, possibly resulting in an accident.CAUTION Do not leave the steering wheel turned all the way in one direction. This can cause damage to the power steering system.
