[For vehicles equipped with the Free-hand Advanced Secu-
rity Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key).]
For information on operation for vehicles equipped with the
Free-hand Advanced Security Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key), refer
to “Free-hand Advanced Security Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key):
Starting” on page3-16.
[Except for vehicles equipped with the Free-hand
Advanced Security Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key).]Tips for starting
Do not operate the starter motor continuously for longer
than 15 seconds as this could run the battery down or
damage the starter motor. If the engine does not start, turn
the ignition switch back to the “LOCK” position, wait a
few seconds, and then try again. Trying repeatedly with
the engine or starter motor still turning will damage the
starter mechanism.

If the engine will not start because the battery is weak or
discharged, refer to “Jump-starting the engine” (on page
6-2) for instructions.

A longer warm up period will only consume extra fuel.
The engine is warmed up enough for driving when the bar
graph of engine coolant temperature display starts to
move. Refer to “Interrupt display screen (When the igni-
tion switch is in the “ON” position)” on page 3-178.
CAUTION
!
Remove the key when leaving the vehicle.

Starting the engineThis model is equipped with an electronically controlled fuel
injection system. This is a system that automatically controls
fuel injection. There is usually no need to depress the accelera-
tor 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 seconds between attempts
to restart the engine.
1. Make sure all occupants are properly seated with seat
belts fastened.
2. Insert the ignition key.3. Press and hold the brake pedal down with your right foot.
4. Make sure the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) posi-
tion.
5. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position and make
certain that all warning lights are functioning properly
before starting the engine.
6. Turn the ignition switch to the “START” position without
pressing the accelerator pedal. Release the ignition switch
when the engine starts.
NOTE
Minor noises may be heard on engine start-up. These will
disappear as the engine warms up.When the engine is hard to startAfter several attempts, you may experience that the engine still
does not start.
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, press the accelerator
pedal halfway and hold it there, then crank the engine.
Release the accelerator pedal, immediately after the
engine starts.
WA R N I N G
!
Never run the engine in a closed or poorly ventilated
area any longer than is needed to move your vehicle
out of the area. Carbon monoxide gas, which 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 switch as soon as the engine
starts. Otherwise, the starter motor will be dam-
aged.

3. If the engine still will not start, the engine could be
flooded with too much gasoline. While depressing the
brake pedal, 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 “LOCK” 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, 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 automatic transaxle vehicle and 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.
Using the MIVEC engine (3.0 liter models)The MIVEC engine automatically switches its intake-valve
control between a low-speed mode and a high-speed mode in
accordance with driving conditions for maximum engine per-
formance.NOTE
To protect the engine, the high-speed mode may not be
selected while the engine coolant temperature is low. In
such a case, the engine revolutions do not rise to over
5,000 rpm even if the accelerator pedal is depressed.

3 Automatic transaxle
(if so equipped)
N00513200216
Automatic transaxle will automatically change its gear depend-
ing on road and driving conditions. This helps achieve smooth
driving and excellent fuel efficiency.
Also you can manually shift up and shift down the transaxle.
Refer to “Sports mode” on page 3-101.DRIVING UPHILLThe transaxle prevents unnecessary upshifts even when the
accelerator pedal is released and ensures smooth driving.DRIVING DOWNHILLAccording to the conditions, the transaxle will automatically
shift to a lower gear to achieve stronger engine braking. This
may help reduce your need to use the service brake.NOTE
During the break-in period or immediately after recon-
necting the battery, your vehicle may not shift smoothly.
This does not indicate a problem in the transaxle. Shifting
will become smoother once the transaxle has been shifted
several times by the electronic control system.
Selector lever operation
N00513800296
As an additional safety precaution, models equipped with an
automatic transaxle have a shift-lock device that holds the
selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position. To move the selector
lever from the “P” (PARK) position to another position, follow
the steps below.
1. Press and hold the brake pedal down.
2. Move the selector lever to the desired position.NOTE
The selector lever cannot be moved from “P” (PARK) to
another position if the ignition switch is set to the
“LOCK” or “ACC” position, or if the key has been
removed, or if the brake pedal is not pressed and held
down.

3 Continuously variable transmission (CVT)

(if so equipped)
N00560200034
The CVT will automatically and continuously change its gear
ratio depending on road and driving conditions. This helps
achieve smooth driving and excellent fuel efficiency.
Also you can manually shift up and shift down the transmis-
sion. Refer to “Sports mode” on page 3-111.DRIVING UPHILLThe transmission prevents unnecessary upshifts even when the
accelerator pedal is released and ensures smooth driving.DRIVING DOWNHILLAccording to the conditions, the transmission will automati-
cally shift to a lower gear ratio to achieve stronger engine brak-
ing. This may help reduce your need to use the service brake.Selector lever operation
N00560300022
