3. If the engine still will not start, the engine could be
flooded with too much gasoline. While depressing the
brake pedal, 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, 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 automatic transaxle vehicle and CVT
vehicle with 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
selector lever in the “D” (DRIVE) position.
This occurs because the transaxle has not warmed up suffi-
ciently; it does not indicate a problem. If this occurs, place the
selector lever 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 start nor-
mally.
Do not leave the vehicle during warm-up operation.
Using the MIVEC engine (3.0 liter models)The MIVEC engine automatically switches its intake-valve
control between a low-speed mode and a high-speed mode in
accordance with driving conditions for maximum engine per-
formance.NOTE
To protect the engine, the high-speed mode may not be
selected while the engine coolant temperature is low. In
such a case, the engine revolutions do not rise to over
5,000 rpm even if the accelerator pedal is depressed.

3 Automatic transaxle
(if so equipped)
N00513200216
Automatic transaxle will automatically change its gear depend-
ing on road and driving conditions. This helps achieve smooth
driving and excellent fuel efficiency.
Also you can manually shift up and shift down the transaxle.
Refer to “Sports mode” on page 3-101.DRIVING UPHILLThe transaxle prevents unnecessary upshifts even when the
accelerator pedal is released and ensures smooth driving.DRIVING DOWNHILLAccording to the conditions, the transaxle will automatically
shift to a lower gear to achieve stronger engine braking. This
may help reduce your need to use the service brake.NOTE
During the break-in period or immediately after recon-
necting the battery, your vehicle may not shift smoothly.
This does not indicate a problem in the transaxle. Shifting
will become smoother once the transaxle has been shifted
several times by the electronic control system.
