To turn from “ACC” to “LOCK”
1. [For vehicles equipped with manual transaxle]
Push the emergency key in at the “ACC” position and
keep it depressed until it is turned to the “LOCK” posi-
tion, and remove.
[For vehicles equipped with continuously variable trans-
mission (CVT) or Twin Clutch SST]
First, set the selector lever (CVT) or the gearshift lever
(Twin Clutch SST) to the “P” (PARK) position, and then
slowly turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” position
while pressing it.NOTE
For vehicles equipped 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

3. Reinsert the emergency key into the F.A.S.T.-key.
NOTE
Always install the cover of the ignition switch when not
using the emergency key. Not doing so could cause dam-
age if foreign material such as dust gets into the keyhole
of the ignition switch.
CAUTION
!
Do not turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” posi-
tion while the vehicle is moving. This will cause the
steering wheel to lock, making it impossible to oper-
ate 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 system will not function and it will require
greater effort to manually steer the vehicle.
Do not leave the ignition switch in the “ON” or
“ACC” 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 running. It will damage
the starter motor.

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 emergency key 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.
A longer warm up period will only consume extra fuel.
The engine is warmed up enough for driving when the bar
graph of the engine coolant temperature display starts to
move. Refer to “Interrupt display screen (With ignition
switch in the “ON” position)” on page 3-180.
On vehicles equipped with the Twin Clutch SST, the fol-
lowing may occur after the engine is started, but they do
not indicate an abnormality.
You may hear operational sounds of the Twin Clutch
SST and you may feel vibration in the vehicle body.
If you shift the gearshift lever into the “N” (NEUTRAL)
position and depress the accelerator pedal, increases in
the engine speed will be limited.
CAUTION
!
Remove the emergency key when leaving the vehi-
cle.
If your vehicle needs to be towed, turn the emer-
gency key to the “ACC” position to unlock the steer-
ing wheel.

Starting the engine
The vehicle is equipped with an electronically controlled fuel
injection system. This is a system that automatically controls
the fuel injection. There is usually no need to depress the accel-
erator pedal when starting the engine.
The starter motor 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.Normal conditions
To start the engine:
Make sure all occupants are properly seated with seat belts fas-
tened.
1. While pushing the lock release buttons (A), remove the
cover of the ignition switch.
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 emergency key as soon as the engine
starts. It will damage the starter motor.

NOTE
On vehicles equipped with manual transaxle, the starter
will not operate unless the clutch pedal is fully depressed
(Clutch interlock). This is a safety feature.
6. On vehicles equipped with manual transaxle, place the
gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral) position.
On vehicles equipped with CVT or Twin Clutch SST,
make sure the selector lever (CVT) or the gearshift lever
(Twin Clutch SST) is in the “P” (PARK) position.
NOTE
On vehicles equipped with CVT, the starter will not oper-
ate unless the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) or “N”
(NEUTRAL) position.
On vehicles equipped with Twin Clutch SST, the starter
will not operate unless the gearshift lever is in the “P”
(PARK) 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.
7. Turn the emergency key with the F.A.S.T.-key to the
“ON” position and make certain that all warning lights
and warning displays are functioning properly before
starting the engine.

8. 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.
9. Remove the F.A.S.T.-key from the emergency key.NOTE
Minor noises may be heard on engine start-up. These will
disappear as the engine warms up.
NOTE
If the emergency key is attached to a key ring, it may
become impossible to insert the F.A.S.T.-key into the
emergency key, and it may prevent the engine from being
started. When using the emergency key to start the engine,
first remove the key from the key ring.At extremely cold ambient temperature
If the engine won’t start, press the accelerator pedal about half-
way down while cranking the engine. Release the accelerator
pedal when the engine starts.
Startability of continuously variable transmission (CVT)
vehicles or Twin Clutch SST vehicles at extremely cold
ambient temperature
When the ambient temperature is -4 °F (-20 °C) or lower on
vehicles equipped with CVT or -22 °F (-30 °C) or lower on
vehicles equipped with Twin Clutch SST or it may not be pos-
sible to start from 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 transaxle has not warmed
up sufficiently; it does not indicate a problem. If this occurs,
place the selector lever (CVT) or the gearshift lever (Twin
Clutch SST) in the “P” (PARK) position and let the engine idle
for at least 10 minutes.
The transaxle will warm up, and you will be able to drive nor-
mally.
Do not leave the vehicle during warm-up operation.
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 prevent the
driver’s knee airbag from inflating normally or
could be propelled to cause serious injury if the air-
bag inflates.
CAUTION
!
When starting the engine, make sure you depress
the brake pedal. If you start the engine with the
accelerator pedal depressed, move your foot to the
brake pedal as soon as the engine has started.

ishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice for assis-
tance.
Electronic immobilizer (Anti-theft starting sys-
tem)
N00529600127
The electronic immobilizer is designed to significantly reduce
the possibility of vehicle theft. The purpose of the system is to
immobilize the vehicle if an invalid start is attempted. A valid
start attempt can only be achieved (subject to certain condi-
tions) using a F.A.S.T.-key “registered” to the immobilizer sys-
tem.
All of the keys provided with your new vehicle have been pro-
grammed to the vehicle’s electronics.Replacement F.A.S.T.-keyOnly the F.A.S.T.-keys that have been programmed to the vehi-
cle’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 Mitsubishi Motors 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 lost F.A.S.T.-key must be programmed
again.
Take your vehicle and all the remaining F.A.S.T.-keys to your
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer to have your ID codes
programmed again.

Additional F.A.S.T.-keyTo add a F.A.S.T.-key, you must already have two registered
F.A.S.T.-keys. You need to register the ID code to the vehicle.
Registering the ID code can be done by your authorized Mit-
subishi Motors dealer. Or it can be done by yourself (except for
vehicles sold in Canada).
For you to register the ID code yourself, follow the “Customer
F.A.S.T.-key programming” procedure below.
If you choose to have your authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer register the ID code, take your vehicle and all remaining
F.A.S.T.-keys to your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.NOTE
You are provided with two F.A.S.T.-keys, but you may
register up to four F.A.S.T.-keys.
You can obtain blank F.A.S.T.-keys specially cut for your
vehicle from your Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
