Startability of Twin Clutch SST vehicle with an 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
gearshift lever in the “D” (DRIVE) position.
This phenomenon occurs because the transmission has not
warmed up sufficiently; it does not indicate a problem. If it
occurs, place the gearshift lever in the “P” (PARK) position
and let the engine idle for at least 10 minutes.
The transmission will warm up, and you will be able to start
normally.
Do not leave the vehicle during warm-up operation.

Electronic immobilizer (Anti-theft starting sys-
tem)
N00529600055
The electronic immobilizer is designed to significantly reduce
the possibility of vehicle theft. The purpose of the system is to
immobilize the vehicle if an invalid start is attempted. A valid
start attempt can only be achieved (subject to certain condi-
tions) using a F.A.S.T.-Key “registered” to the immobilizer
system.
All of the keys provided with your new vehicle have been pro-
grammed to the vehicle’s electronics.Replacement F.A.S.T.-keys
N00561000055
Only the F.A.S.T.-keys that have been programmed to the vehi-
cle’s electronics can be used to start the vehicle.
If you lose the F.A.S.T.-key, you can order a F.A.S.T.-key from
an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer by referring to the key
number.
To prevent vehicle theft, the ID codes for all the F.A.S.T.-keys
except the one for the lost F.A.S.T.-key must be programmed
again.
Take your vehicle and all the remaining F.A.S.T.-keys to your
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer to have your ID codes
programmed again.

Starting the engine
N00542200087
[For vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key]
For information on operations for vehicles equipped with the
F.A.S.T.-key, refer to “F.A.S.T.-key: Starting the engine” on
page 3-30.
[Except for vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key]
Your vehicle is equipped with an electronically controlled fuel
injection system, which automatically controls the release of
fuel. There is usually 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. Make sure the parking brake is applied.
4. Press and hold the brake pedal down with your right foot.
5. Press and hold the clutch pedal all the way down (manual
transaxle).NOTE
For models equipped with a manual transaxle, the starter
will not operate unless the clutch pedal is fully depressed
(Clutch interlock). This is a safety feature.6. On vehicles with manual transaxle, place the gearshift
lever in the “N” (Neutral) position.
On vehicles with Twin Clutch SST, make sure the gear-
shift lever is in the “P” (PARK) position.
NOTE
On vehicles with Twin Clutch SST, the starter will not
operate unless the gearshift lever is in the “P” (PARK)
position or the gearshift lever is in the “N” (NEUTRAL)
position with the brake pedal depressed.
For safety reasons, start the engine in the “P” (PARK)
position so that the wheels are locked.
7. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position and make
certain that all warning lights are functioning properly
before starting the engine.
8. Turn the ignition switch to the “START” position without
pressing the accelerator pedal. Release the key when the
engine starts. Startability of Twin Clutch SST vehicle with ambient

Driving precautions
N00513100156

The table below shows the maximum recommended driv-
ing speed for in each gear. Do not drive near or at these
speeds for prolonged periods of time.Maximum possible driving speed
Do not use the gearshift lever as a handrest. This can
result in premature wear of the transaxle shift forks.
Twin Clutch SST (Sportronic Shift Trans-
mission)
(if so equipped)
N00539700017
The Twin Clutch SST is a transmission that, through integrated
control of the engine and transmission, is able to achieve both
the smooth shifting of an automatic transaxle and the accelera-
tion and fuel economy close to a manual transaxle. In addition,
the control mode can be selected from three types to suit the
driving conditions.
Together with manual shifting, the transmission is capable of
responding to a variety of driving circumstances.
Twin Clutch SST control mode→ P. 3 - 1 0 3
Manual shift → P.3-105

NOTE
For a shift indicated by in the illustration, depress the
brake pedal before moving the gearshift lever. If you
attempt to move the gearshift lever before depressing the
brake pedal, the gearshift lever will be immovable.

Do not accelerate immediately after moving the gearshift
lever. It may take some time for the transmission to shift
to the selected gear.

When the gearshift lever is operated when the Twin
Clutch SST fluid temperature is low, the time required to
shift to the selected gear may be longer than usual.
The pull-ring (D) must be pulled up while the brake
pedal is depressed to move the gearshift lever.
The gearshift lever will move without pulling up the
pull-ring (D).
The pull-ring (D) must be pulled up to move the gear-
shift lever.
WA R N I N G
!
If the pull-ring is always pulled up when using the
gearshift lever, the gearshift lever may be acciden-
tally shifted into the “P” (PARK) or “R”
(REVERSE) position. Do not pull up the pull-ring
when making shifts shown by in the illustration.
Always depress the brake pedal when shifting the
gearshift lever into the other position from the “P”
(PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
When beginning to drive, do not shift the gearshift
lever from the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL)
position while depressing the accelerator pedal.
Doing so is dangerous because the vehicle will
“jump” forward or backward.

When the gearshift lever position display blinks
N00563000017
When the gearshift lever is placed in the “R” (REVERSE)
position, the gearshift lever position display on the multi-infor-
mation display may blink and the vehicle will not move
because the gears in the transmission have not engaged.
If this occurs, perform the following procedure.
1. Depress the brake pedal with your right foot and place the
gearshift lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
2. Place the gearshift lever in the “R” (REVERSE) position,
and confirm that the gearshift lever position display stops
blinking.
3. Repeat 1 and 2 above if the gearshift lever position dis-
play continues to blink.
If the gearshift lever position display is not showing
N00562500031
There may be a problem in the Twin Clutch SST.
If this occurs, the safety device operates and prevents the vehi-
cle from moving. Therefore, perform the following procedure.
1. Park your vehicle in a safe place and stop the engine.
2. Restart the engine.
If the gearshift lever position display is shown and the vehicle
can move after this procedure is performed, there is no mal-
function.
If the gearshift lever position display is not shown and the
vehicle cannot move, or if this problem occurs repeatedly, have
the vehicle checked by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer
or a repair facility of your choice as soon as possible.
WA R N I N G
!
To avoid unintended vehicle movement, keep brake
pedal applied with your right foot and do not
depress the accelerator pedal, while the gearshift
lever position display is blinking.
