Safety mechanismIf a hand or head is trapped in the closing sunroof opening, the
safety mechanism will cause the sunroof to re-open automati-
cally. The opened sunroof will become operational again after
a few seconds.
If the safety mechanism is activated 5 or more times consecu-
tively, normal closing of the sunroof will be aborted. To return
the sunroof to normal operation:
1. Press the switch (3) repeatedly, setting the sunroof in the
tilt up position.
2. Once the tilt up position has been reached, press and hold
the switch (3) for at least 3 seconds.
3. Press the switch (3) again to fully close the sunroof.
4. After pressing the switch (1) to perform full opening,
press the switch (3) to fully close the sunroof.NOTE
Do not stop the sunroof before it is completely opened or
closed in steps 3 and 4 above. If this should happen repeat
the process from step 1.
5. The sunroof should now operate in the normal manner.
NOTE
When leaving the vehicle unattended, be sure to close the
sunroof and remove the ignition key.

Do not try to operate the sunroof if it is frozen closed
(after snowfall or during extreme cold).

Do not sit on or place heavy luggage on the sunroof or
roof opening edge.

Do not apply any force that may cause damage to the sun-
roof.

Release the switch when the sunroof has reached a com-
pletely open or completely closed position.

If the sunroof does not operate when the sunroof switch is
operated, release the switch and check whether something
is trapped by the sunroof. If nothing is trapped, have the
sunroof checked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer or a repair facility of your choice.

Be careful when tilting up the sunroof if a ski carrier or a
roof carrier is installed. Depending on the model of ski
carrier or roof carrier, the sunroof may contact the carrier
when the sunroof is tilted up.

Be sure to close the sunroof completely when washing the
vehicle or when leaving the vehicle.

Do not put any wax on the weatherstrip (black rubber)
around the sunroof opening. If it is waxed, the weather-
strip cannot maintain a weatherproof seal with the sun-
roof.

After washing the vehicle or after rain be sure to wipe off
any water that is on the sunroof before operating it.

Operating the sunroof repeatedly with the engine turned
off will run down the battery. Operate the sunroof only
while the engine is running.
CAUTION
!
The safety mechanism is deactivated just before the
sunroof closes. This allows the sunroof to close com-
pletely. Therefore be especially careful that fingers
are not trapped in the sunroof opening.

brake booster will stop functioning and braking effi-
ciency will be reduced. Also, the power steering sys-
tem will not function and it will require greater

3 Starting
N00512600705
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.

The engine is warmed up enough for driving when the
coolant temperature gauge indicator starts to move. A
longer warm up period will only consume extra fuel.
Starting the engineYour vehicle is equipped with an electronically controlled fuel
injection system, which automatically controls the release of
fuel. There is no need to depress the accelerator 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 key to the “ON” position and make cer-
tain that all warning lights are functioning properly before
starting the engine.
6. Turn the ignition key to the “START” position without
pressing the accelerator pedal. Release the key when the
engine starts. NOTE
Minor noises may be heard on engine start-up. These will
disappear as the engine warms up.
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 key as soon as the engine starts.
Otherwise, the starter motor will be damaged.

abnormally high. Normally the warning light comes on when
the ignition key is turned to the “ON” position, and then will go
out after a few seconds.

When the ignition key is turned to the “ON” position, the
indicator in the instrument cluster comes on to show the
position of the selector lever (i.e. “PARK”, “DRIVE”,
“REVERSE”, etc.).
B- “N” indicator
If the “N” indicator blinks with the “D” (DRIVE) position or
“Sports mode” being selected, the automatic transaxle may
be malfunctioning.

Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice as soon as
possible.

Selector lever positions (Main gate)
N00514200213
“P” PARKThis position locks the transaxle to prevent the vehicle from
moving. The engine can be started from the “PARK” position.“R” REVERSEMove the lever to this position only after the vehicle has come
to a complete stop.
“N” NEUTRALAt this position, the transaxle is disengaged. It is the same as
the neutral position on a manual transaxle and should be used
when the vehicle is not moving for an extended length of time
during driving, such as in a traffic jam.“D” DRIVEThis position is used for most city and highway driving. Engine
shifting and braking are done automatically as needed, depend-
ing on road conditions.NOTE
For information on manual gate operation, please refer to
“Sports mode” on page 3-44.
CAUTION
!
If the light comes on while driving, reduce the
engine speed and stop the vehicle in a safe area.
Then set the selector lever to “P” (PARK) position
and idle the engine until the warning light goes off.
When the warning light goes off, resume normal
driving. If the warning light does not go off, have
your vehicle inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
CAUTION
!
Never shift into the “P” (PARK) or “R”
(REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in motion.
If the lever is shifted into the “P” or “R” position
while the vehicle is in motion, the transaxle may be
damaged.
WA R N I N G
!
Never move the selector lever to the “N” (NEU-
TRAL) position while driving since you could acci-
dentally slip it into the “P” (PARK) or “R”
(REVERSE) position, damaging the transaxle.
To prevent the vehicle from rolling when stopped on
a slope, the engine should be started in the “P”
(PARK) position, not in “N” (NEUTRAL).
Always keep your foot on the brake pedal when the
vehicle is in “N” (NEUTRAL), or when shifting into
or out of “N” (NEUTRAL), to prevent rolling.
