4. Insert the F.A.S.T.-key into the emergency key. 5. Press and hold the brake pedal down with your right foot. 6. Press and hold the clutch pedal all the waydown (manual transaxle).
7. On vehicles with manual transaxle, place the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral) position. On vehicles with CVT or Twin ClutchSST, make sure the selector lever (CVT) or the gearshift lever (Twin Clutch SST) is in the “P” (PARK) position. 8. Turn the emergency key with the F.A.S.T.-key to the “ON” position andmake certain that all warning lights and warning displays are functioning properly before starting the engine.9. Turn the emergency key with the F.A.S.T.-key to the “START” position without pressing the accelerator pedal.Release the emergency key with the F.A.S.T.-key when the engine starts.
10. Remove the F.A.S.T.-key from the emer-
gency key.
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 continuously variable transmission (CVT) or Twin Clutch SST, the starter will not operate unless the selector lever (CVT) or the gearshift lever (TwinClutch SST) is in the “P” (PARK) position or the selector lever (CVT) or the gearshift lever (Twin Clutch SST) is in the “N” (NEU-TRAL) position with the brake pedal depressed. For safety reasons, start the engine in the “P”(PARK) position so that the wheels are locked.
NOTE
Minor noises may be heard on engine start- up. These will disappear as the engine warms up. WA R N I N G Make sure to remove the F.A.S.T.-key from the emergency key after the engine is started.If not removed, the F.A.S.T.-key could fall to the floor, which may interfere with pedal operation.Furthermore, the F.A.S.T.-key could pre- vent the driver’s knee airbag from inflat- ing normally or could be propelled tocause serious injury if the airbag inflates.NOTE
When using the emergency key to start the engine, first remove the key from the key holder. If the emergency key is attached to a key holder (key ring), it may become impos-sible to insert the keyless operation key into the emergency key, and it may prevent the engine from being started.

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 SSTor 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 ClutchSST or the clutch pedal on the vehicles equipped with manual
transaxle, push the
accelerator pedal all the way down andhold 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 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 start from a standstill even with the selectorlever (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.

The electronic immobilizer is designed to sig- nificantly reduce the possibility of vehicle theft. The purpose of the system is to immo-bilize the vehicle if an invalid start isattempted. A valid start attempt can only be achieved (subject to certain conditions) using a F.A.S.T.-Key “registered” to the immobi-lizer system. All of the keys provided with your new vehi- cle have been programmed to the vehicle’selectronics.

Only the F.A.S.T.-keys that have been pro-grammed to the vehicle’s electronics can be used to start the vehicle. If you lose the F.A.S.T.-key, you can order a F.A.S.T.-key from your authorized MitsubishiMotors dealer by referring to the key number. To prevent vehicle theft, the ID codes for all the F.A.S.T.-keys except the one for the lostF.A.S.T. -key must be programmed again.
