Your vehicle is equipped with an electroni- cally controlled fuel injection system. This is a system that automatically controls fuel injection. There is usually no need to depressthe accelerator pedal when starting the engine. 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. 2. Make sure the parking brake is applied.3. Press and hold the brake pedal down with your right foot.
4. Press and hold the clutch pedal all the way down (manual transaxle). 5. On vehicles equipped with manual trans- axle, place the gearshift lever in the “N”(Neutral) position. On vehicles equipped with continuously variable transmission (CVT), make surethe 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 conditioning blower and rear window defogger, are turned off.2. While depressing the brake pedal {contin- uously variable transmission (CVT)} or the clutch pedal (manual transaxle), pressthe accelerator pedal halfway and hold itthere, then crank the 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 operation mode in OFF.
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 and extremely poisonous, could build up andcause 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.
Starting the engine

NOTE
 On vehicles equipped with continuously variable transmission (CVT), the engine can only be started when the selector lever is inthe “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 warmsup.

Startability of continuously variable trans- mission (CVT) vehicles with an ambienttemperature of
-22 °F (-30 °C) or lower
When the ambient temperature is -22 °F (-30 °C) or lower, it may not be possible to startfrom a standstill even with the selector lever in the “D” (DRIVE) 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) positionand let the engine idle for at least 10 minutes. The transaxle will warm up, and you will be able to start normally.Do not leave the vehicle during warm-up operation.

or changing the oper-
ation mode.
Stopping the engine

WA R N I N G Do not operate the engine switch while driving except in an emergency. If the engine is stopped while driving, the brake servomechanism will cease to function andbraking efficiency will deteriorate. Also, the power steering system will not func- tion and it will require greater manualeffort 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 the engine switch for 3 seconds or more, or press it quickly 3 times or more. The engine willstop 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 theengine 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 placingthe selector lever in the “P” (PARK) posi- tion.

N00517600436
Your vehicle is equipped with power brakes for more braking force with less brake pedaleffort. Your brakes are designed to operate at full capacity, even if the power assist is not beingused. If the power assist is not being used, the effort needed to press the brake pedal is greater.If you should lose the power assist for some reason, the brakes will still work. If the power brake unit
or either of the two
brake hydraulic systems stops working prop- erly, the rest of the brake system will still work, but the vehicle will not slow down asquickly. You will know this has happened if you find you need to press the brake down farther, orharder when slowing down or stopping, or if the brake warning light and the warning dis- play in the multi-information display comeon. Have the brake system repaired at an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice immediately.
N00550700124
The disc brakes have an alarm that makes ametallic squeal when the brake pads have worn down enough to need service. If you hear this sound, have the brake padsreplaced at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
N00562600074
The hill start assist makes it easy to start off on a steep uphill slope by preventing thevehicle from moving backwards. It keeps the braking force for about 2 second when you move your foot from the brake pedal to theaccelerator pedal.
CAUTION It is important not to drive the vehicle with your foot resting on the brake pedal when braking is not required. This practice can result in very high brake temperatures, pre- mature lining wear, and possible damage tothe brakes.
Power brakes
WA R N I N G Never coast downhill with the engine OFF. Keep the engine running whenever your vehicle is in motion. If you turn off theengine while driving, the power brake booster will stop working and your brakes will not work as well. If the power assist is lost or if either brake hydraulic system stops working properly,take your vehicle to an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facil- ity of your choice immediately.
Brake pad wear alarm
WA R N I N G Driving with worn brake pads will make it harder to stop, and can cause an accident.
Hill start assist
CAUTION Do not overly rely on the hill start assist to prevent backwards movement of the vehicle. Under certain circumstances, even when hillstart assist is activated, the vehicle may move backwards if the brake pedal is not suf- ficiently depressed, if the vehicle is heavilyloaded, or if the road is very steep or slip- pery.  The hill start assist is not designed to keep the vehicle stopped in place on uphill slopes for more than 2 seconds. When facing uphill, do
not rely on using the
hill start assist to maintain a stopped positionas an alternative to depressing the brake pedal. Doing so could cause an accident.
