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.

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.
N00561000039
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.
