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.

1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop. 2. Fully engage the parking brake whiledepressing 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 the gearshift lever to the 1st (on a uphill) or “R” (Reverse) (on a downhill) position.For vehicles with Twin Clutch SST, placethe gearshift lever in the “P” (PARK) position, and then turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” position to stop theengine.

Turbocharger operation
Features and controls 5-55
5
N00537300077
The turbocharger increases engine power by pushing large amounts of air into the engine’s cylinders. The finned parts inside the turbo-charger turn at extremely high speeds and are subjected to extremely high temperatures. They are lubricated by engine oil and cooledby engine oil and coolan
t. If the engine oil is
not replaced at the specified intervals, the bearings may seize or emit abnormal noise.
NOTE
 For vehicles with Twin Clutch SST, the engine will stop and the vehicle power will turn off approximately 1 second after the ignition switch is turned to the “LOCK” position. The reason for this is that, in the time from when the ignition switch is turned to the“LOCK” position until the engine stops, the gears inside the Twin Clutch SST disengage so that the engine will start smoothly thenext time it is started. Two clutches installed in the Twin Clutch SST alternately engage and disengage toachieve smooth shifting. In addition, the gear on the side with the free clutch is engaged, therefore, quick shifting isperformed. If the engine was stopped with the gear engaged like this, it would provide resistancethe next time the engine is started. Therefore, the gear disengages in the approximately 1- second period until the engine stops.  For vehicles with Twin Clutch SST, do not operate the gearshift lever or the acceleratorpedal for approximately 1 second until the engine stops.
 If the temperature inside the engine compart- ment is high, the cooling fans (A) will con- tinue to operate for some time even if the engine is stopped. Therefore, the operation sound of the coolingfans may be heard even after the engine is stopped. This sound is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.After operating for a period of time, the cool- ing fans will stop automatically.
Turbocharger operation
CAUTION Do not run the engine at high speeds (for example, by revving it or by accelerating rapidly) immediately after starting it.NOTE
 Do not stop the engine immediately after high-speed or uphill driv
ing. First allow the
engine to idle to give the turbocharger a chance to cool down. Engine oil must be properly maintained to avoid engine and/or turbocharger damage. To better protect your engine and turbo-charger, use fully synthetic engine oil.

CAUTION If the clutch is engaged suddenly while the engine revolution is high, an extremely large load will be applied instantaneously to the power train, possibly leading to the breakageof that component. Please ensure, therefore, that the clutch pedal is always applied in a slow yet firm manner.NOTE
 Your vehicle has a special feature to reduce the impact into the power train and to reduce the load of the clutch disk; the engine revolu-tion doesn’t rise more than around 5,500 rpm while the vehicle is stationary and the clutch pedal has been depressed.  If either of the following occurs, the clutch should be inspected by a Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice: • The pedal stroke until clutch disengage- ment suddenly increases. • The engine revs when the clutch is not dis- engaged.
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 thetransaxle.

N00517900295
The anti-lock braking system helps prevent the wheels from locking up when braking.This helps maintain vehicle drivability and steering wheel handling.  Always keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you. Even if your vehi-cle is equipped with the anti-lock braking system, leave a greater braking distance when:• Driving on gravel or snow-covered roads. • Driving on uneven road surfaces.  Operation of anti-lock braking system is not restricted to situations where brakes are applied suddenly. This system mayalso prevent the wheels from locking when you drive over manholes, steel roadwork plates, road markings, or anyuneven road surface.  When the anti-lock braking system is in use, you may feel the brake pedal pulsa-tion and the vibrations of the vehicle body and steering wheel. It may also feel as if the pedal resists being pressed.
In this situation, simply hold the brake pedal down firmly. Do not pump the brake, which will result in reduced braking performance. An operation noise is emitted from the engine compartment or feel a shock from the brake pedal when start driving imme-diately after starting the engine. These are normal sound or operation that the anti- lock braking system makes when per-forming a self-check. It does not indicatea malfunction.  The anti-lock braking system can be used after the vehicle has reached a speed overapproximately 6 mph (10 km/h). It stops working when the vehicle slows below approximately 3 mph (5 km/h).
CAUTION The system may be malfunctioning. Park your vehicle in a safe place and stop the engine. Restart the engine and check whether the warning display and “SERVICE REQUIRED” go out. If the warning display and “SERVICE REQUIRED” go out, there is no abnormal condition. If the warning display and “SERVICE REQUIRED” do not go out or appear frequently, it is not necessary to stop the vehicle immediately, but we recommendthat you have your vehicle inspected.NOTE
 If the ambient temperature drops and the vis- cosity of the AWC control fluid increases,the warning may be displayed. At this time, S-AWC control is temporarily suspended, but this will not affect normaldriving. After the vehicle is driven for a while, if the engine is restarted after the AWC controlfluid warms up or the ambient temperature increases, the S-AWC control will start oper- ating again if the warning display goes out.
Anti-lock braking system Driving hints
CAUTION The anti-lock braking system cannot prevent accidents. It is your responsibility to take safety precautions and to drive carefully.  To prevent failure of the anti-lock braking system, be sure all 4 wheels and tires are thesame size and the same type. Do not install any aftermarket limited-slip differential (LSD) on your vehicle. The anti- lock braking system may stop functioningproperly.

For a safer and more enjoyable trip, always observe the following:  Before starting the vehicle, make certain that you and all passengers are seated and wearing their seat belts properly (with children in the rear seat, in appropriaterestraints), and that all the doors are locked.
 Move the driver’s seat as far backward as possible, while still keeping good visibil- ity, and good control of the steering wheel, brakes, accelerator, and controls.Check the instrument panel indicators and multi-information display for any possible problem.  Move the front passenger seat as far back as possible.  Make sure that infants and small children are properly restrained in accordance withall laws and regulations.
Check these by selecting the defroster mode, and set the blower switch on high. You should be able to feel the air blowing against the windshield.{Refer to “Defrosting or defogging (wind- shield, door window)” on page 7-8, 7-13.} Check all the tires for heavy tread wear or uneven wear patterns. Look for stones, nails, glass, or other objects stuck in the tread. Lookfor any tread cuts or sidewall cracks. Check the wheel nuts for tightness, and the tires (including spare tire) for proper pressures.
WA R N I N G If a floor mat is the wrong size or is not properly installed, it can interfere with the operation of the pedals. Interference with the pedals can cause unintended accelera- tion and/or increased stopping distancesresulting in a crash and injury. Always make sure the floor mat does not interfere with the accelerator or brake pedal. Always use the retaining clip on the driver’s floorboard to secure the floormat. Always install the mat with the correct side facing down. Never install a second mat over or under an existing floor mat. Do not use a floor mat designed for another model vehicle ev
en if it is a Mit-
subishi genuine floor mat. Before driving, be sure to check the fol- lowing:• Periodically check that the floor mat isproperly secured with the retaining clips. If you remove the floor mat while clean-ing the inside of your vehicle or for any other reason, always check the condition of the floor mat after it has been rein-stalled.• While the vehicle is stopped with the engine off, check that the floor mat is not interfering with the pedals by depressingthe pedals fully.

Replace your tires before they are heavily worn out. As your vehicle is equipped with a tire pres- sure monitoring system, there is a risk ofdamage to the tire inflation pressure sensors when the tire is replaced on the rim. Tire replacement should, therefore, be performedonly by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. Have someone watch while you turn all the exterior lights on and off. Also check the turn signal indicators and high-beam indicators on the instrument panel. Check the ground under the vehicle after parking overnight, for fuel, water, oil, orother leaks. Make sure all the fluid levels are correct. Also, if you can smell fuel, you need to find out why immediately and have itfixed.
N00629200108
Even this vehicle’s safety equipment, andyour safest driving, cannot guarantee that you
can avoid an accident or injury. However, if you give extra attention to the following areas, you can better protect yourself and your passengers:  Drive defensively. Be aware of traffic, road and weather conditions. Leave plenty of stopping distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead. Before changing lanes, check your mir- rors and use your turn signal light.  While driving, keep a tight grip on the steering wheel.  While driving, watch the behavior of other drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians.  Always obey applicable laws and regula- tions. Be a polite and alert driver. Always leave room for unexpected events, such as sudden braking. If you plan to drive in another country, obey their vehicle registration laws and make sure you will be able to get the rightfuel.
N00629400432
 Check the battery, including terminals and cables. During extremely cold weather, the battery will not be as strong. Also, the battery power level may drop becausemore power is used for cold starting and driving.
Before driving the vehicle, check to see if the engine runs at the proper speed and if the headlights are as bright as normally. Charge or replace the battery if necessary.During extreme cold weather, it is possi- ble that a very low battery could freeze.  Warm the engine sufficiently. After start- ing the engine, allow a short warm-up time to distribute oil
to all cylinders and
turbocharger. Then drive your vehicle slowly.  Stay at low speeds at first so that the transaxle, transfer case and rear axle oil have time to spread to all the lubrication points. Manual transaxle can be harder to shift in cold weather conditions. This is normal and shifting will get easier as the transaxlewarms up.  Check the engine antifreeze.
