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 the
clutch pedal on the vehicles equipped with manual tran-
saxle, press the accelerator pedal halfway and hold it
there, then crank the engine. Release the accelerator
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 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” position 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 procedures. 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 equipped with CVT or -22 °F (-30 °C) or lower on
vehicles equipped with Twin Clutch SST or it may not be pos-
sible 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.
