A- External transmitter B- Internal transmitterWA R N I N G Individuals using ot
her electro-medical
apparatus besides implantable pacemak- ers and implantable
cardiovascular-defi-
brillators should check with themanufacturer of the apparatus to confirm the effect of the electromagnetic waves used by the F.A.S.T.-key. The electromag-netic waves may affect
the operations of
the electro-medical apparatus.
NOTE
 The F.A.S.T.-key uses weak electromagnetic waves.In cases such as the following, operation may be imprope
r or unstable.
• The vehicle is near a facility that emits strong electroma
gnetic waves, such as a TV
transmitting tower, a pow
er station, a radio
station or an airport • The key is carried together with other com- munication devices such
as cellular phones
or radios, or electrical appliances such as computers • The F.A.S.T.-key touches or is covered by a metal object • A keyless entry system is being used nearby • The battery of the F.A.S.T.-key is run down • The vehicle is in a location with strong electromagnetic
waves or noise
Use the emergency key in such circum- stances.Refer to “To operate
without using the
F.A.S.T.-key” on page 5-19.  The F.A.S.T.-key is constantly performing reception operations
in its communication
with the vehicle. This means that the battery is always running down, regardless of howoften the F.A.S.T.-key is used. The battery life is about 1 to 2 years, depending on the usage conditions.  Since the F.A.S.T.-key is constantly perform- ing reception operati
ons, the reception of
strong electrom
agnetic waves
can accelerate
the running down of the
battery. Do not place
near to electrical appliances such as televi-sions or computers.

Your vehicle is equipped with an electroni- cally controlled fuel in
jection system. This is
a system that automatically controls fuelinjection. There is usually no need to depress the accelerator pedal when starting the engine.To prevent battery drai
n, wait a few seconds
between attempts to restart the engine. 1. Make sure all occupants are properly seated with seat belts fastened.2. Make sure the parking brake is applied. 3. Press and hold the brake pedal down firmly with your right foot.
4. Press and hold the clutch pedal all the way down (manual transaxle). 5. On vehicles equippe
d with manual trans-
axle, place the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral) position.On vehicles equipped with continuously variable transmission (CVT), make sure the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK)position.
6. Press the engine switch. 7. Confirm that all wa
rning lights and warn-
ing displays are functioning properly.
After several attempts, you may experience that the engine still does not start. 1. Make sure that all electric devices, such as lights, air conditio
ning blower and rear
window defogger, are turned off.
WA R N I N G Never run the engine in
a closed or poorly
ventilated area any lo
nger than is needed
to move your vehicle out of the area. Car-bon monoxide gas, whic
h 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 th
e engine has had a
chance to warm up.
Starting the engine

NOTE
 After the engine has not
started for a while,
the brake pedal effort needed to start theengine may become grea
ter. If this occurs,
depress the brake pedal more firmly than usual.NOTE
 For vehicles equipped with a manual trans- axle, the engine will
not start unless the
clutch pedal is fully
depressed (Clutch inter-
lock). This is a safety feature.
NOTE
 On vehicles equippe
d with continuously
variable transmission (C
VT), the engine can
only be started when th
e selector lever is in
the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL) posi- tion. For safety reasons, the engine should bestarted when the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) position in which the driving wheels lock.NOTE
 Minor noises may be heard on engine start- up. These will disappear as the engine warms up.

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 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 press theengine switch to crank the engine. If the engine does not start
after 5 to 6 seconds,
push the engine switch to stop crankingthe engine, and release the accelerator pedal. Put the opera
tion mode in OFF.
Wait a few seconds, and then press theengine switch to crank the engine again while depressing the brake pedal (CVT) or the clutch pedal (manual transaxle), butdo not push the accelerator pedal. If the engine fails to start, repeat these proce- dures. If the engine stil
l will not start, con-
tact your local Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice for assistance.
Startability of continuo
usly variable trans-
mission (CVT) vehicles with an ambient temperature of -4 °F (-20 °C) or lower
When the ambient temperature is -4 °F (-20 °C) or lower, it may not be possible to startfrom a standstill even wi
th 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 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 wa
rm up, and you will be
able to start normally. Do not leave the vehicle during warm-upoperation.
N00568200014
1. Stop the vehicle.2. Fully engage the parking brake while depressing the brake pedal. 3. On vehicles with
a manual transaxle,
press the engine switch to stop the engine, and then move the gearshift lever to the 1st (on a uphill) or “R” (Reverse) (on adownhill) position. On vehicles equippe
d with continuously
variable transmission (CVT), move theselector lever to the “P” (PARK) position, and then press the e
ngine switch to stop
the engine.
Stopping the engine

WA R N I N G Do not operate the en
gine switch while
driving except in an emergency. If the engine is stopped while driving, the brakeservomechanism will ce
ase to function and
braking efficiency will deteriorate. Also, the power steering system will not func-tion and it will require greater manual effort to operate the steering. This could result in a serious accident.
NOTE
 If you have to bring the engine to an emer- gency stop while drivi
ng, press and hold the
engine switch for 3 seconds or more, or pressit quickly 3 times or
more. The engine will
stop and the operation mode will go to ACC.  On vehicles equipped with continuously variable transmission (CVT), do not stop the engine with the selector
lever in any position
other than the “P” (PARK) position. If the engine is stopped with
the selector lever in
any position other than the “P” (PARK) posi-tion, the operation mode will go to ACC rather than OFF. Put the operation mode
in OFF after placing
the selector lever in the “P” (PARK) posi- tion.
