down or damage the
starter motor. If the engine does not start, turn the ignition switch back to the “OFF”position, wait a few se
conds, and then try
again. Trying repeatedly with the engine or starter motor still turning will damagethe 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. A longer warm up period will only con- sume extra fuel. The engine is warmed up enough for driving when the low coolant temperature indi
cator goes out.
Refer to “Low coolant temperature indi- cator” on page 5-71.
This model is equipped with an electronically controlled fuel injection system. This is a sys-tem that automatically controls fuel injection. 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 secondsbetween attempts to restart the engine. 1. Make sure all occupants are properly seated with seat belts fastened.
CAUTION If the engine is stopped while driving, the brake servomechanism w
ill cease to function
and braking efficiency will deteriorate. Also, the power steering syst
em will not function
and it will require gr
eater manual effort to
operate the steering. Do not leave the key in
the “ON” position for
a long time when the engine is not running, doing so will cause th
e battery to be dis-
charged. Do not turn the key to the “START” position when the engine is running, doing so coulddamage the starter motor.

Tips for starting
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, wh
ich 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 ignition sw
itch as soon as the
engine starts. Otherwis
e, the starter motor
will be damaged.

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 pre
ssing the accelerator
pedal. Release the key when the engine starts.
After several attempts
, you may experience
that the engine still does not start. 1. Make sure that all electric devices, such as lights, air conditi
oning blower and rear
window defogger, are turned off. 2. While depressing the brake pedal {contin- uously variable transmission (CVT)} orthe clutch pedal (manual transaxle), press the accelerator peda
l halfway and hold it
there, then crank th
e engine. Release the
accelerator pedal, immediately after the engine starts.
3. If the engine still wi
ll 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 waydown and hold it there, then crank the engine for 5 to 6 seconds. Return the igni- tion switch to the “OFF” position andrelease 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 theaccelerator pedal. Release the ignition key if the engine starts.
If the engine fails to
start, repeat these procedures. If theengine still will not
start, contact your
local Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choi
ce for assistance.
When the ambient temperature is -4 °F (-20 °C) or lower, it may 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

Always use care to change the gear with thevehicle speed matched
to the engine speed.
Proper shifting will improve fuel economy and prolong engine life.
N00512900131
For the best fuel economy and performance in using your manual transaxle, upshift as listed below. At low altitude locations, shift at the vehicle speeds listed. Upshifting earlier during cruise conditions (relatively
steady speeds) will
improve your fuel economy.
Manual transaxle
(if so
equipped)
NOTE
During cold weather, shifting may be diffi- cult until the transaxl
e lubricant has warmed
up. This is normal and not harmful to thetransaxle.
To start
CAUTION Do not move the gearsh
ift 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 clutchwear 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 tim
e; 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 th
at may cause the
tachometer pointer to
enter the red zone.
This puts the engine at
risk of being dam-
aged.

At high altitude locati
ons, upshift as listed
below.
N00513000096
It is recommended th
at you downshift to a
lower gear when needed to maintain the desired speed, according to the table. Avoid downshifting at
too high a speed. The
engine may suffer damage.
To maintain a safe speed and prolong brake life, shift down to 2nd or 1st when descend-ing a steep hill. Downshifting is also important to avoid “lug- ging” the engine at t
oo low a speed, such as
when turning a corner or when driving up a steep hill.
N00513100244
Do not use the gearshift lever as a han- drest. This can result
in premature wear of
the transaxle shift forks.
The table above shows the maximum rec- ommended driving speed for in each gear. Do not drive near or at these speeds forprolonged periods of time.
N00560200050
The CVT will automatically and continuously change its gear ratio depending on road and driving conditions. This helps achievesmooth driving and excellent fuel efficiency. The transmission prevents unnecessary upshifts even when the accelerator pedal is released and ensures smooth driving.

According to the conditions, the transmission will automatically shift to a lower gear ratio to achieve stronger engine braking. This mayhelp reduce your need to use the service brake.
N00560300051
As an additional safe
ty precaution, models
equipped with a conti
nuously variable trans-
mission have a shift-lo
ck device that holds
the selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position. To move the selector lever from the “P”(PARK) position to a
nother position, follow
the steps below. 1. Press and hold the brake pedal down. 2. Move the selector
lever to the desired
position.
The CVT selects an optimum ratio automati- cally when the selector lever is in the “D”(DRIVE) position, depe
nding on the speed of
the vehicle and the position of the accelerator pedal.

ition if the ignition
switch is set to the “OFF” or “ACC” posi-tion, or if the key has been removed, or oper- ation mode is in “OFF”
or “ACC”, or if the
brake pedal is not pressed and held down.
Set the selector lever in the gate to operate while the brake pedal is depressed.
Set the selector lever in the gate to operate.
WA R N I N G Always press the brake pedal when shift- ing the selector lever into a selector posi- tion from the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position.
When beginning to drive, do not shift theselector lever from
the “N” (NEUTRAL)
position while pressing the accelerator pedal. This will cause the vehicle to“jump” forward or backward.NOTE
To prevent mistakes in operating the lever, make sure you stop brie
fly at each position.
After operating, check the position in the multi-information display. If the brake pedal is not
depressed and held,
the shift-lock device activates to prevent theselector lever from being moved from the “P” (PARK) position. For a shift indicated by in the illustra- tion, depress the brake pedal before moving the selector lever. If you attempt to move theselector lever before
depressing the brake
pedal, the selector
lever may not move.
