Sunroof timer functionThe sunroof can be operated when the ignition switch is in the
“ON” position. The sunroof can be opened or closed for a 30-
second period after the ignition switch is turned to the “ACC”
or “LOCK” position. However, when the driver’s door or the
front passenger door is opened, the sunroof cannot be operated.
Turn on the ignition switch again to operate.
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.
As an emergency measure, the sunroof can be closed bit by bit
until the sunroof is completely closed by repeatedly pressing
the switch (2).
After performing the emergency measure, consult an autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.NOTE
The safety mechanism can be activated if the driving con-
ditions or other circumstances cause the sunroof to be sub-
jected to a physical shock similar to that caused by a
trapped hand or head.

rity Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key).]
For information on operations for vehicles equipped with the
Free-hand Advanced Security Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key), refer
to “Free-hand Advanced Security Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key):
Starting” on page3-16.
[Except for vehicles equipped with the Free-hand
Advanced Security Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key).]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.

A longer warm up period will only consume extra fuel.
The engine is warmed up enough for driving when the bar
graph of engine coolant temperature display starts to
move. Refer to “Interrupt display screen (When the igni-
tion switch is in the “ON” position)” on page 3-177.
CAUTION
!
Remove the key when leaving the vehicle.
