With the F.A.S.T.-key, warnings are given through buzzers and
displays on the information screen in the multi-information
display in order to prevent mistaken operations or vehicle theft.
When a warning operates, be sure to check the vehicle and the
F.A.S.T.-key. A warning is also displayed if there is a problem
in the F.A.S.T.-key.
If the following warning displays, contact an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
CAUTION
!
If the engine is stopped while driving, the power
brake booster will stop functioning and greater
effort for braking will be required. Also, the power
steering system will not function and it will require
greater effort to manually steer the vehicle.
Do not leave the ignition switch in the “ON” position
for a long time when the engine is not running.
Doing so could lead to a dead battery.
Do not turn the ignition switch to the “START”
position when the engine is running. It will damage
the starter motor.

When the ignition switch is in a position other than “LOCK
(PUSH OFF)”, any of the doors are opened and the F.A.S.T.-
key is removed from the passenger compartment so that the ID
codes of the F.A.S.T.-key and the vehicle can no longer be ver-
ified, the warning display is displayed and the buzzer sounds 4
times as a warning.NOTE
The F.A.S.T.-key take-out monitoring system does not
function if the F.A.S.T.-key is removed through a window
without opening a door. This setting can be changed.
See an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer for details.

The warning may display even if the F.A.S.T.-key is in the
operating range for starting the engine. The surrounding
environment or electromagnetic waves may make it
impossible to verify the ID codes of the F.A.S.T.-key and
vehicle.

the steering wheel slightly.
NOTE

Tips for starting
Do not operate the starter motor for longer than 15 sec-
onds 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 mecha-
nism.

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 the engine coolant temperature display starts to
move. Refer to “Interrupt display screen (With ignition
switch in the “ON” position)” on page 3-194.

On vehicles equipped with the Twin Clutch SST, the fol-
lowing may occur after the engine is started, but they do
not indicate an abnormality.
• You may hear operational sounds of the Twin Clutch
SST and you may feel vibration in the vehicle body.
CAUTION
!
Carry the key with you when leaving the vehicle.
If your vehicle needs to be towed, turn the ignition
switch to the “ACC” position to unlock the steering
wheel.

4. On vehicles with manual transaxle, place the gearshift
lever in the “N” (Neutral) position.
On vehicles with continuously variable transmission
(CVT) or Twin Clutch SST, make sure the selector lever
(CVT) or the gearshift lever (Twin Clutch SST) is in the
“P” (PARK) position.NOTE
On vehicles with CVT, the starter will not operate unless
the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEU-
TRAL) position.
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.
5. While pushing the ignition switch from “LOCK” (PUSH
OFF) to “LOCK” (PUSH ON), set the ignition switch to
the “ON” position and confirm that all warning lights and
warning displays are operating properly.
6. Without pressing the accelerator pedal, slowly turn the
ignition switch to the “START” position to start the
engine. 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. Startability of continuously variable transmission (CVT)
vehicles or Twin Clutch SST vehicles at extremely cold
ambient temperature
When the ambient temperature is -4°F (-20°C) or lower on
vehicles with CVT, or -22°F (-30°C) or lower on vehicles with
Twin Clutch SST, it may not be possible to start from a stand-
still even with the selector lever (CVT) or the gearshift lever
(Twin Clutch SST) in the “D” (DRIVE) position.
This phenomenon occurs because the transaxle has not warmed
up sufficiently; it does not indicate a problem. If this occurs,
place the selector lever (CVT) or the gearshift lever (Twin
Clutch SST) 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 drive nor-
mally.
Do not leave the vehicle during warm-up operation.

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 emergency key 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 the engine coolant temperature display starts to
move. Refer to “Interrupt display screen (With ignition
switch in the “ON” position)” on page 3-194.

On vehicles equipped with the Twin Clutch SST, the fol-
lowing may occur after the engine is started, but they do
not indicate an abnormality.
• You may hear operational sounds of the Twin Clutch
SST and you may feel vibration in the vehicle body.
• If you shift the gearshift lever into the “N” (NEUTRAL)
position and depress the accelerator pedal, increases in
the engine speed will be limited.
CAUTION
!
Remove the emergency key when leaving the vehi-
cle.
If your vehicle needs to be towed, turn the emer-
gency key to the “ACC” position to unlock the steer-
ing wheel.
