 The operation mode can be in any mode to start the engine.  The starter motor will be turning for up to approximately 15 seconds if the engine switch is released at once. Pressing the engine switch again while the starter motor is still turning will stop the starter motor. The starter motor will be turningfor up to approximate
ly 30 seconds while
the engine switch is pressed. If the engine does not start, wait for awhile and then attempt to start the engine again. Trying repeatedly with the starter motor still turning will damage the startermechanism.  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 driv- ing when the low coolant temperatureindicator goes out. Refer to “Low coolant temperature indi- cator” on page 5-71.
Your vehicle is equipped with an electroni- cally controlled fuel injection 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 drain, 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.

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.

variable transmission (CVT), make sure the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK)position.
6. Press the engine switch. 7. Confirm that all warning 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 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 the engine. Release theaccelerator 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 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 operation mode in OFF. Wait a few seconds, and then press theengine switch to cr

tact your local Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice for assistance.
Startability of conti
nuously variable trans-
mission (CVT) vehicles with an ambient temperature of -4 °F (-20 °C) or lower
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.

When the ambient temperature is -4 °F (-20 °C) or lower, it may not be possible to startfrom 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 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.

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 driving, press and hold theengine switch for 3 sec
onds or more, or press
it quickly 3 times or more. The engine will stop and the operation mode will go to ACC.  On vehicles equippe
d with continuously
variable transmission (CVT), do not stop the engine with the select
or 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

The emergency key is built into the F.A.S.T.- key. When the F.A.S.T.-key cannot be used, such as when the battery of the F.A.S.T.-key or the
vehicle has run down, the emergency key can be used to lock and unlock the passenger’sdoor. To use the emergency key (A), unlock the lock knob (B) and remove it from the F.A.S.T.-key (C). Turn the emergency key toward the front of the vehicle to lock the door. After checking
that the door is locked, turn the emergency key back to the center and remove it.

The electronic immobilizer is designed to sig- nificantly reduce the
possibility of vehicle
theft. The purpose of the system is to immo-bilize the vehicle if an invalid start is attempted. A valid start attempt can only be achieved (subject to certain conditions) usinga F.A.S.T.-Key “registered” to the immobi- lizer system. All of the keys provided with your new vehi-cle have been program
med to the vehicle’s
electronics.
 Remove the object or ad
ditional key from the
F.A.S.T.-key before inserting the key into thekey slot. The vehicle
may not be able to
receive the registered ID code from the regis- tered key. Therefore, the engine may not start and the operation mode may not change.
