[For vehicles equipped with the Free-hand Advanced Security Transmitter (F.A.S.T.- key)]
For information on
operation for vehicles
equipped with the Free-hand Advanced Secu-rity Transmitter (F.A
.S.T.-key), refer to
“Free-hand Advanced
Security Transmitter
(F.A.S.T.-key): Starting and stopping theengine” on page 5-16. [Except for vehicles equipped with the Free-hand Advanced Se
curity Transmit-
ter (F.A.S.T.-key)]  Do not operate the starter motor continu- ously for longer than 15 seconds as thiscould run the battery
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 5-75.
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 power brake booster will
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 the 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.
Starting the engine
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.

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
switch if the engine starts. If the engine fails to start, repeat these procedures. Ifthe engine 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

driving conditions. This helps achieve smooth driving and excellent fuel efficiency. The transmission prevents unnecessary upshifts even when the accelerator pedal isreleased 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.
N00560301087
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.

It is very important to know how much weight your vehicle can carry. This weight is called the vehicle capacity weight and includes theweight of all occupants, cargo, non-
factory-installed options, if any, being towed. The tire and loading information placard located on the driver’s door sill of your vehicle willshow how much weight it may prop- erly carry. It is important to familiarize yourself with the following
terms before load-
ing your vehicle:Vehicle maximum load on the tire:load on an individual tire that isdetermined by distributing to each axle its share of the maximum loaded vehicle weight and divid-ing by two.
Parking with the engine run- ning
WA R N I N G Leaving the engine ru
nning risks injury or
death from accidentally moving the gear-shift lever (manual transaxle) or the selec- tor lever (CVT) or from the accumulation of toxic exhaust fumes in the passengercompartment.
