1. Make sure that all electric devices, such as lights, air con-
ditioning blower and rear window defogger, are turned
off.
2. While depressing the brake pedal {continuously variable
transmission (CVT)} or the clutch pedal (manual
transaxle), press the accelerator 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 engine could be
flooded with too much gasoline. While depressing the
brake pedal (CVT) or the clutch pedal (manual transaxle),
push the accelerator pedal all the way down and hold it
there, then crank the engine for 5 to 6 seconds. Return the
ignition switch to the “OFF” position and release the
accelerator pedal. Wait a few seconds, and then crank the
engine again for 5 to 6 seconds while depressing the brake
pedal (CVT) or the clutch pedal (manual transaxle), but
do not push the accelerator 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 facility of your
choice for assistance.Startability of CVT vehicle with ambient temperature of
-22
°F (-30
°C) or lower
When the ambient temperature is -22 °F (-30 °C) or lower, it
may not be possible to start from a standstill even with the
selector lever in the “D” (DRIVE) position.
This occurs because the transaxle has not warmed up suffi-
ciently; it does not indicate a problem. If this occurs, place the
selector lever 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 start nor-
mally.
Do not leave the vehicle during warm-up operation.BK0162600US.book 58 ページ ２０１３年３月２２日 金曜日 午後２時４１分

Passing accelerationTo gain extra acceleration in “D” (DRIVE) position (when
passing another vehicle) push the accelerator to the floor. The
CVT will automatically downshift.WaitingFor short waiting periods, such as at traffic lights, the vehicle
can be left in selector lever position and held stationary with
the service brake.
For longer waiting periods with the engine running, place the
selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position and apply the
parking brake, while holding the vehicle stationary with the
service brake.
Prior to moving off after having stopped the vehicle, make sure
that the selector lever is in “D” (DRIVE) position.
ParkingTo park the vehicle, first bring it to a complete stop, fully
engage the parking brake, and then move the selector lever to
the “P” (PARK) position.When the CVT makes no speed changeIf the CVT does not shift while driving, or your vehicle does
not pick up enough speed when starting on an uphill slope, it
may be that there is something unusual happening in the trans-
mission, causing a safety device to activate. Have your vehicle
checked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair
facility of your choice as soon as possible.
Do not rev the engine with the brake pedal pressed
when the vehicle is stationary.
This can damage the CVT.
Also, when you depress the accelerator pedal while
holding down the brake pedal with the selector lever
in the “D” (DRIVE) position, the engine revolutions
may not rise as high as when performing the same
operation with the selector lever in the “N” (NEU-
TRAL) position.
CAUTION
!
CAUTION
!To avoid transmission overheating, never try to keep
your vehicle stationary on a hill by using the acceler-
ator pedal. Always apply the parking brake and/or
service brake.Do not rev the engine unnecessarily while the vehicle
is stationary. Unexpected acceleration may occur if
the selector lever is in a position other than “P”
(PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL).

3 Electric power steering system (EPS)
N00568400074
The power steering system operates while the engine is run-
ning. It helps reduce the effort needed to turn the steering
wheel.
The power steering system has mechanical steering capability
in case the power assist is lost. If the power assist is lost for
some reason, you will still be able to steer your vehicle, but
you will notice it takes much more effort to steer. If this hap-
pens, have your vehicle inspected at an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.NOTEDuring repeated full-lock turning of the steering wheel
(for example, while you are manoeuvring the vehicle into
a parking space), a protection function may be activated to
prevent overheating of the power steering system. This
function will make the steering wheel gradually harder to
turn. In this event, limit your turning of the steering wheel
for a while. When the system has cooled down, the steer-
ing effort will return to normal.
If you turn the steering wheel while the vehicle is station-
ary with the headlights on, the headlights may become
dim. This behavior is not abnormal. The headlights will
return to their original brightness after a short while.
Electric power steering system warning lightIf there is a malfunction in the system, the warning light will
come on.
Under normal conditions, the warning lamp comes on when the
ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operation
mode is put in ON, and goes off after the engine has started.
WA R N I N G
!Do not stop the engine while the vehicle is moving.
Stopping the engine would make the steering wheel
extremely hard to turn, possibly resulting in an acci-
dent.
CAUTION
!If the warning light appears while the engine is run-
ning, have the vehicle inspected by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice as soon as possible. It may become harder to
turn the steering wheel.

NOTEYou can adjust to 8 different levels for when the parking
lights or headlights are illuminated and 8 for when they
are not.
Each time you reduce two brightness levels, the segment
display of the brightness level decreases one by one.
If you press and hold the switch for longer than about 1
second, the brightness automatically scrolls through its
different levels, and stops scrolling when you release the
switch. Select your desired level of brightness.
The brightness level of the instruments is stored when the
ignition switch is turned to the “OFF” position or the
operation mode is put in OFF.
Driving range display
N00575200016
This displays the approximate driving range (how many more
miles or kilometers you can drive). When the driving range
falls below approximately 30 miles (50 km), “---” is displayed.NOTEThe driving range is determined based on the fuel con-
sumption data. This may vary depending on the driving
conditions and habits. Treat the distance displayed as just
a rough guideline.
When you refuel, the driving range display is updated.
However, if you only add a small amount of fuel, the cor-
rect value will not be displayed. Fill to a full tank when-
ever possible.
When your vehicle is stopped on an extremely steep hill,
the driving range value may, change. This is due to the
movement of fuel in the tank and does not indicate any
breakdown.
The display setting can be changed to the preferred units
(miles or km).
Refer to “Changing the function settings” on page 3-105.

Brake warning light and buzzer
N00520400526
This light comes on when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position (engine off) or the operation mode is put in ON.
When the engine is started, the light should go off a few sec-
onds later.
The warning light also illuminates after starting the engine
under the following conditions.
When the parking brake is still applied.
When the brake fluid level is low.
When the brake system circuit is not working properly.
When the vehicle is moving at more than 5 mph (8 km/h) and
the parking brake applied, a buzzer will sound to inform the
driver that the parking brake is not properly release.
Before driving, be sure that the parking brake is fully released
and the brake warning light is off.
CAUTION
!If the brake warning light and the Anti-lock braking
system warning light are illuminated at the same
time, the braking force distribution function will not
operate, the vehicle may be destabilized during sud-
den braking under the following conditions.
• When the brake warning light does not go out even
when the parking brake is released.
• When the brake warning light stays on while driv-
ing.If the above occurs, avoid sudden braking and high-
speed driving. Park the vehicle in a safe place, and
contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a
repair facility of your choice as soon as possible.
The vehicle should be brought to a halt in the follow-
ing manner when brake performance is deterio-
rated.
• Confirm that the vehicle slows down when you
press down on the brake pedal harder than usual.
In some cases, the brake pedal may go all the way
to the floor.
• Should the brakes fail, use engine braking to
reduce your speed and slowly apply the parking
brake.
Depress the brake pedal to illuminate the stop
lights and to alert the vehicles behind you.

Engine malfunction indicator (“SERVICE
ENGINE SOON” or “Check engine light”)
N00520500804
This indicator is a part of the onboard diagnostic (OBD) sys-
tem which monitors the emissions, engine control system or
continuously variable transmission (CVT) control system. If a
problem is detected in one of these systems, this indicator illu-
minates or flashes. When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position or the operation mode is put in ON, this indica-
tor normally comes on and goes off after the engine has started.
This indicator will come on if the fuel tank filler cap is not
properly tightened. If this indicator comes on and stays on after
refueling, stop the engine and check that the cap is properly
tightened. (Turn the cap clockwise until you hear clicking
sounds.)
If this indicator does not go off after several seconds or lights
up while driving, have the system checked as soon as possible
at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of
your choice.
NOTEDo not disconnect the battery cable when the engine mal-
function indicator (“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” or
“Check engine light”) is on.
The engine electronic control module stores critical OBD
information (especially exhaust emission data), which
may be lost if the battery cable is disconnected while the
engine malfunction indicator is on. This will make it diffi-
cult to diagnose the cause of future problems.
CAUTION
!Driving for a long time with the engine malfunction
indicator on may cause more damage to the emission
control system. This could also affect fuel economy
and drivability.If this indicator does not come on when the ignition
switch is turned to the “ON” position or the opera-
tion mode is put in ON, have the system checked at
an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair
facility of your choice.
If the engine malfunction indicator comes on while
the engine is running, avoid driving at high speeds.
During vehicle operation with the indicator on, the
vehicle may not accelerate when you depress the
accelerator pedal.
When the vehicle is stationary with the indicator on,
you must depress the brake pedal more firmly than
usual since the engine idling speed is higher than
usual and a vehicle with a CVT has a stronger ten-
dency to creep forward.
CAUTION
