Warning display type 1 Warning display type 2 A tone and warning light are used to remind the driver to fasten the seat belt.If the ignition switch is set to the “ON” posi- tion without the driver’s seat belt being fas- tened, a warning light will come on and atone will sound for approximately 6 seconds to remind you to fasten your seat belt. If you then drive with
the seat belt unfastened
for longer than a minute from when the igni- tion switch was turned on, the warning light will come on and blink repeatedly and thetone will sound intermittently.The warning light and the tone will stop after approximately 90 seconds. If you then repeatedly stop and start yourvehicle with the seat belt unfastened, the warning light/display and tone will remind you to fasten your seat belt every time thevehicle starts moving. You will also be
NOTE
 With the exception of the seat belt for the driver, the seat belts in all other seating posi- tions are equipped with an Automatic Lock- ing Retractor (ALR) function. If you pull theseat belt fully out of the retractor, the retrac- tor will switch to its ALR child restraint installation function (see page 4-19).When the ALR function has been activated, the seat belt will only retract. If this happens, let the belt fully retract, then pull the seatbelt back out, repeating steps 1 through 4.
WA R N I N G Be sure the lap belt portion fits snugly and is worn as low as possible across the hips, not around the waist. Failure to follow this instruction will increase the risk of serious injury or death in the
event of an accident.
Be sure the seat belt webbing is not twisted when worn. Twisted webbing mayadversely affect seat belt performance.

 [Except for vehicles equipped with the turbocharger] The engine is warmed up enough for driv- ing when the bar graph of engine coolanttemperature display starts to move. A lon- ger warm up period will only consume extra fuel.  [For vehicles equipped with the turbo- charger] The engine is warmed up enough for driv-ing when the bar graph of engine coolanttemperature display starts to move. Driv- ing before the bar graph moves may cause deterioration of turbocharger performanceand driveability. A longer warm up period will only consume extra fuel.  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 feel vibration in the vehicle body.• If you shift the gearshift lever into the “N” (NEUTRAL) position and depress the accelerator pedal, increases in theengine speed will be limited.

[For vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key.]For information on operation for vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key, refer to “F.A.S.T.-key: Starting the engine” on page5-20. [Except for vehicles equipped with the F. A . S . T. - k e y. ]Your vehicle is equipped with an electroni- cally controlled fuel injection system, which automatically controls the release of fuel.
There is usually no need to depress the accel- erator pedal when starting the engine. The starter should not be run for more than 15 seconds at a time.To prevent battery drain, wait a few seconds between attempts to restart the engine. 1. Make sure all occupants are properly seated with seat belts fastened 2. Insert the ignition key. 3. Make sure the parking brake is applied.4. Press and hold the brake pedal down withyour right foot. 5. Press and hold the clutch pedal all the way down (manual transaxle).
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 and extremely poisonous, could build up andcause 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.

6. On vehicles with manual transaxle, place the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral) position. On vehicles with continuously variabletransmission (CVT) or Twin Clutch SST, make sure the selector lever (CVT) or gearshift lever (Twin Clutch SST) is in the“P” (PARK) position. 7. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” posi- tion and make certain that all warning lights are functioning properly beforestarting the engine. 8. Turn the ignition switch to the “START” position without pressing the acceleratorpedal. Release the key when the engine 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 engine could 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 theaccelerator 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 TwinClutch SST, it may not be possible to start
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, the starter will not operate unless the gearshiftlever is in the “P” (PARK) 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.
NOTE
 Minor noises may be heard on engine start- up. These will disappear as the engine warms up.

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 trans-axle has not warmed up sufficiently; it does not indicate a problem. If it 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 start normally. Do not leave the vehicle during warm-up operation.

1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop. 2. Fully engage the parking brake whiledepressing the brake pedal.
3. For vehicles with a manual transaxle, turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” posi- tion to stop the engine, and then move the gearshift lever to the 1st (on a uphill) or“R” (Reverse) (on a downhill) position. For vehicles with continuously variable transmission (CVT) or Twin Clutch SST,place the selector lever (CVT) or the gear- shift lever (Twin Clutch SST) in the “P” (PARK) position, and then turn the igni-tion switch to the “LOCK” position tostop the engine.
Idle speed in high altitude area Stopping the engine
NOTE
 For vehicles with Twin Clutch SST, the engine will stop and the vehicle power will turn off approximately 1 second after the ignition switch is turned to the “LOCK”; position. The reason for this is that, in the time from when the ignition switch is turned to the“LOCK” position until the engine stops, the gears inside the Twin Clutch SST disengage so that the engine will start smoothly thenext time it is started. Two clutches installed in the Twin Clutch SST alternately engage and disengage toachieve smooth shifting. In addition, the gear on the side with the free clutch is engaged, therefore, quick shifting isperformed. If the engine was stopped with the gear engaged like this, it would provide resistancethe next time the engine is started. Therefore, the gear disengages in the approximately 1- second period until the engine stops.  For vehicles with Twin Clutch SST, do not operate the gearshift lever or the acceleratorpedal for approximately 1 second until the engine stops.
