For you to register the ID code yourself, fol- low the “Customer key programming” proce- dure below. If you choose to have your authorized Mit-subishi Motors dealer
register the ID code,
take your vehicle and all remaining keys to your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.

You can program new keys to the system ifyou have two valid (already registered) keysand blank (not registered) immobilizer key (specially cut for your vehicle at your Mit- subishi Motors dealer) by doing the follow-ing: 1. Insert the first valid key into the ignition switch and turn the key to the “ON” posi- tion for 5 seconds.2. Turn the key to the “LOCK” position and remove the first key.
3. Within 30 seconds of turning the first key to the “LOCK” position, insert the second valid key into the ignition and turn it to the “ON” position. About 10 secondslater, the immobilizer display will start to blink. 4. When the immobilizer display startsblinking, turn the second valid key to the “LOCK” position and remove it. Within 30 seconds after doing so, insert a blankimmobilizer key into the ignition switchand turn it to the “ON” position. Perform this operation no more than 30 seconds after the immobilizer display starts blink-ing. When registration of the ID code is complete, the immobilizer display will come on for 3 seconds then go off. If anerror occurs, the immobilizer display will go off during the procedure. 5. If you wish to register another key, per- form the process again from step 1.
Your electronic immobilizer operates on a radio frequency subject to Federal Communi-cations Commission (FCC) Rules (For vehi-
NOTE
You are provided with two keys, but you may register up to eight keys.
Customer key programming (Except for vehicles sold in Canada)
NOTE
Perform the operation when the interrupt dis- play screen is not showing. The interrupt dis- play screen may prevent you from seeing the immobilizer display.
It is not possible to register a key if: • the immobilizer display goes off during the procedure • the immobilizer display does not come on within 30 seconds after turning the ignition switch to the “ON” position with a blankimmobilizer key
The procedure will be terminated automati- cally if: • a period of 30 seconds or longer elapses from the moment when the first key is turned to the “LOCK” position to the moment when the second key is turned tothe “ON” position • a period of 30 seconds or longer elapses from the moment when the second key is turned to the “LOCK” position to the moment when the blank immobilizer key isturned to the “ON” position
To use the new remote control transmitters, it is necessary to register the key with both the electronic immobilizer and keyless entry sys- tem.Also refer to “Keyless entry system: Cus- tomer remote control transmitter program- ming” on page 5-9.

Do not operate the starter motor for longer than 15 seconds as this could run the bat-tery down or damage the starter motor. If the engine does not start, turn the ignition switch back to the “LOCK” position, waita few seconds, and then try again. Trying repeatedly with the engine or starter motor still turning will damage the startermechanism.

If the engine will not start because the bat- tery is weak or discharged, refer to “Jump-starting the engine” on page 8-2 for instructions. A longer warm up period will only con- sume extra fuel. The engine is warmed up enough for driving when the bar graph ofthe engine coolant temperature display starts to move. Refer to “Interrupt display screen (With ignition
switch in the “ON”
position)” on page 5-121. On vehicles equipped with the Twin Clutch SST, the following may occur after the engine is started, but they do not indi-cate an abnormality. • You may hear operational sounds of the Twin Clutch SST and you may feelvibration in the vehicle body. • If you shift the gearshift lever into the “N” (NEUTRAL) position and depressthe accelerator pedal, increases in the engine speed will be limited.
Your vehicle is equipped with an electroni- cally controlled fuel injection system. This isa system that automatically controls fuel injection. There is no need to depress the accelerator pedal when starting the engine.The starter motor should not be run for more than 15 seconds at a time. To prevent battery drain, wait a few secondsbetween attempts to restart the engine. 1. Make sure all occupants are properly seated with seat belts fastened. 2. Press and hold the brake pedal down withyour right foot.
3. Press and hold the clutch pedal all the way down (manual transaxle). 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 thegearshift lever (Twin Clutch SST) is in the “P” (PARK) position.
WA R N I N G Never run the engine in a closed or poorly ventilated area any longer than is needed to move your vehicle out of the area. Car- bon monoxide gas, which is odorless andextremely poisonous, could build up and cause serious injury or death.
CAUTION Do not push-start the vehicle.Do not run the engine
at high rpms or drive
at high speeds until the engine has had a chance to warm up. Release the ignition switch as soon as the engine starts. Otherwise, the starter motorwill be damaged.
Starting the engine
NOTE
For models equipped with a manual trans- axle, the starter will not operate unless the clutch pedal is fully depressed (Clutch inter-lock). This is a safety feature.NOTE
On vehicles with CVT, the starter will not operate unless the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL) position. On vehicles with Twin Clutch SST, thestarter will not operate unless the gearshift lever is in the “P” (P
ARK) 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 warn-ing lights and warning displays are oper- ating 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 theengine starts.
After several attempts, you may experience that the engine still does not start. 1. Make sure that all electric devices, such as lights, air conditioning blower and rear window defogger, are turned off.
2. While depressing the brake pedal on vehi- cles equipped with continuously variable transmission (CVT) or Twin Clutch SST or the clutch pedal on the vehiclesequipped with manual transaxle, press the accelerator pedal halfway and hold it there, then crank the engine. Release theaccelerator pedal, immediately after the engine starts. 3. If the engine still will not start, the enginecould be flooded with too much gasoline.While depressing the brake pedal on vehi- cles equipped with CVT or Twin Clutch SST or the clutch pedal on the vehiclesequipped with manual
transaxle, push the
accelerator pedal all the way down and hold it there, then crank the engine for 5to 6 seconds. Return the ignition switch to the “LOCK” position and release the accelerator pedal. Wait a few seconds, andthen crank the engine again for 5 to 6 sec- onds while depressing the brake pedal or the clutch pedal, but do not push theaccelerator pedal. Release the ignition key if the engine starts.
If the engine fails to
start, repeat these procedures. If theengine still will not start, contact your local Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice for assistance.
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 startfrom 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 trans- axle has not warmed up sufficiently; it doesnot indicate a problem. If this occurs, place the selector lever (CVT) or the gearshift lever (Twin Clutch SST) in the “P” (PARK) posi-tion and let the engine idle for at least 10 min- utes. The transaxle will warm up, and you will beable to drive normally. Do not leave the vehicle during warm-up operation.
NOTE
Minor noises may be heard on engine start- up. These will disappear as the engine warms up.
