[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 Se
curity Transmitter
(F.A.S.T.-key): Starting” on page 5-13. [Except for vehicles equipped with the Free-hand Advanced Security Transmit- ter (F.A.S.T.-key).]
 Do not operate the starter motor continu- ously 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 “OFF” or “LOCK” position, wait a few seconds, and then try again. Trying repeatedly withthe engine or starter motor still turning will damage the 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 upenough for driving when the bar graph of engine coolant temper
ature display starts
to move or the low coolant temperatureindicator goes out. Refer to “Engine cool- ant temperature display” on page 5-171 or “Low coolant temper
ature indicator” on
page 5-215.
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 15seconds 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 withyour right foot. 4. Make sure the selector
lever is in the “P”
NOTE
 If the front wheels are turned, the anti-theft lock may sometimes make it difficult to turnthe key from “LOCK” to “ACC”. Firmlyturn the steering wheel to the left or to the right as you turn the key.

Tips for starting
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. Car- bon monoxide gas, which is odorless andextremely 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

When the selector lever cannot be shifted from the “P” (PARK) position to anotherposition while the brake pedal is pressed and held down with the operation mode in ON, the battery may be flat or the shift-lock mech-anism may be malfunctioning. Immediately have your
vehicle checked by an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice. If you need to move the vehicle, shift theselector lever as follows. 1. Make sure the parking brake is firmly applied. 2. Stop the engine if it is running.
3. Insert a screwdrive
r with a cloth over its
tip into the notch (A) of the cover. Prygently as shown to remove the cover. 4. Depress the brake
pedal with the right
foot. 5. Insert a screwdriver in the shift-lockrelease hole (B). Shift the selector lever to the “N” (NEUTRAL) position while pressing the screwdriver down.
WA R N I N G Always press the brake pedal when shift- ing the selector
lever into a gear from the
“N” (NEUTRAL) position. When beginning to drive, do not shift the selector lever from
the “N” (NEUTRAL)
position while pressing the acceleratorpedal. 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, chec
k the position in the
multi-information display.  If the brake pedal is not depressed and held, the shift-lock device ac
tivates to prevent the
selector 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 the selector lever before depressing the brake pedal, the selector lever may becomeimmovable.

CAUTION In sports mode, the driver must execute upward shifts in accordance with prevailingroad conditions, taking care to keep theengine speed below the red zone. Repeated continuous ope
ration of the spor-
tronic steering wheel pa

tinuously switch shift position. Gears may not change when the lateral pad- dle shifters are operate
d at the same time.
NOTE
Gears can only be selected in a forward direction from 1st gear to 6th gear. Toreverse or park the vehi
cle, move the selector
lever to the “R” or “P” position.  To maintain good running performance, the transaxle may refuse to perform an upshift when the selector lever is moved to the“+(SHIFT UP)” positi
on at certain vehicle
speeds. Also, to prevent over-revving of the engine, the transaxle may refuse to perform adownshift when the lever is moved to the “

on at certain vehicle
speeds. When this happens, a buzzer soundsto indicate that a dow
nshift is not going to
take place.  Downward shifts are made automatically when the vehicle slow

vehicle stops, 1st gear
is automatically
selected.

and then move the sele
ctor lever to the “P”
(PARK) position. If the transaxle does not change gears while driving, or your vehicle does not pick up enough speed when starting on an uphillslope, it may be that there is something unusual happening in the
transaxle, causing a
safety device to activa
te. Have your vehicle
checked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choiceimmediately.

The CVT will automati
cally and continuously
change its gear ratio depending on road anddriving conditions. This helps achieve smooth driving and excellent fuel efficiency. If your vehicle is equipped with the spor- tronic steering wheel paddle shifter, you can manually shift up and shift down the trans-mission. Refer to “Sports mode” on page 5-80. The transmission prevents unnecessary upshifts even when the accelerator pedal is released and ensures smooth driving. According to the condi
tions, the transmission
will automatically shift to a lower gear ratioto achieve stronger engine braking. This may help reduce your need
to use the service
brake.
N00560301090
As an additional safe
ty precaution, models
equipped with a continuously variable trans- mission have a shift-lock device that holdsthe selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position. To move the selector lever from the “P”the steps below. 1. Press and hold the brake pedal down. 2. Move the selector lever to the desiredposition.
The CVT selects an optimum ratio automati- cally when the selector lever is in the “D”
nding on the speed of
the vehicle and the positi
on of the accelerator
pedal.

If the ambient temperature is low, the selectorlever position display on the multi informa-tion display may blink when the selector lever is placed in the “D” (DRIVE), “Ds” ately after the engine has been started. This indicates that the tran
smission requires warm-
ing up. While the display is blinking, the vehicle will not move,
because the transmis-
sion keeps disengaging until the warm up is completed even if the selector lever is placed in the “D”, “Ds”, “L” or “R” position. When the selector le

blinking, perform th
e following procedure:
1. Depress the brake pedal with your right foot and place the se

be started in the “P” (PARK) position. Move the lever to this position only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop.
At this position, the transmission is disen- gaged. It is the same
as the neutral position on
a manual transaxle and should be used whenthe vehicle is not m
oving for an extended
length of time during driving, such as in a traffic jam.
This position is used fo
r most city and high-
way driving. The transmission will automati- cally and continuously ch
ange its gear ratio
depending on road and driving conditions. Use when engine braking is needed, or for high-power sport drive.
After a while, confirm that the warning display is no longer show
