When the engine is hard to start
After several attempts, you may experience that the engine still
does not start.
1. Make sure that all electric devices, such as lights, air con-
ditioning blower and rear window defogger, are turned
off.
2. While depressing the brake pedal on vehicles equipped
with continuously variable transmission (CVT) or Twin
Clutch SST or the clutch pedal on the vehicles equipped
with manual transaxle, press the accelerator pedal halfway
and hold it there, then crank the engine. Release the accel-
erator 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 on vehicles equipped with CVT or Twin
Clutch SST or the clutch pedal on the vehicles equipped
with manual transaxle, push the accelerator pedal all the
way down and hold it there, then crank the engine for 5 to
6 seconds. Return the ignition switch to the “LOCK” posi-
tion and release the accelerator pedal. Wait a few seconds,
and then crank the engine again for 5 to 6 seconds while
depressing the brake pedal or the clutch pedal, but do not
push the accelerator pedal. Release the ignition key if the
engine starts. If the engine fails to start, repeat these pro-
cedures. If the engine still will not start, contact your local
Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice for assistance.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
standstill 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.
