 Do not operate the starter motor continu- ously for longer than 15 seconds as thiscould run the battery down or damage the starter motor. If the engine does not start, turn the ignition switch back to the“LOCK” position, wait a few seconds, and then try again. Trying repeatedly with the engine or starter motor still turningwill damage the starter mechanism.  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.
 If the engine is turned off while driving, the power brake booster will stop functioning and braking efficiency will be reduced. Also, the power steering system will not function and it will require greater effort to manuallysteer the vehicle. Do not leave the key in the “ON” position for a long time when the engine is not running. This will cause the battery to run down. Do not turn the key to the “START” position when the engine is running. It will damage the starter motor.

6. On vehicles equipped with manual trans- axle, place the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral) position. On vehicles equipped with continuouslyvariable transmission (CVT) or Twin Clutch SST, make sure the selector lever (CVT) or the gearshift lever (Twin ClutchSST) 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 before starting the engine.
8. Turn the ignition switch to the “START” position without pressing the accelerator pedal. 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 rearwindow defogger, are turned off. 2. While depressing the brake pedal on vehi- cles equipped with continuously variabletransmission (CVT) or the clutch pedal on the vehicles equipped with manual trans- axle, press the accelerator pedal halfwayand hold it there, then crank the engine. Release the accelerator pedal, immedi- ately 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 the clutchpedal on the vehicles equipped with man- ual transaxle, push the accelerator pedal all the way down and hold it there, thencrank 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 theengine again for 5 to 6 seconds while depressing the brake pedal or the clutch pedal, but do not push the acceleratorpedal. Release the ignition key if the engine starts. If the engine fails to start, repeat these procedures. If the engine stillwill not start, contact your local Mitsubi- shi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice for assistance.
When the ambient temperature is -4 °F (-20 °C) or lower on vehicles equipped with CVT, -22 °F (-30 °C) or lower on vehicles equippedwith Twin Clutch SST, it may not be possible
NOTE
 On vehicles equipped with CVT, the starter will not operate unless the selector lever is inthe “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL) posi- tion. On vehicles equipped with Twin Clutch SST,the starter will not operate unless the gear- shift lever 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 arelocked.
NOTE
 Minor noises may be heard on engine start- up. These will disappear as the engine warms up.

To gain extra acceleration in “D” (DRIVE) position (when passing another vehicle) push the accelerator to the floor
if it is safe to do so
in traffic conditions. The CVT will automati-cally downshift.
N00515000074
For short waiting periods, such as at traffic lights, the vehicle can be left in selector lever position and held stationary with the servicebrake.
For longer waiting periods with the engine running, the selector lever should be placed in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
N00515100062
To park the vehicle, first bring it to a com- plete stop, fully engage the parking brake,and then move the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position. If you are going to leave the vehicle unat-tended, always switch
off the engine and
carry the key.
Operation of the CVT

CAUTION Before selecting a position with the engine running and the vehicle stationary, fully depress the brake pedal to prevent the vehi- cle from creeping.Do not release the brakes until you are ready to drive away. The vehicle will begin to move as soon as the CVT is engaged, espe-cially when the engine speed is high (fast idle or air conditioning on). Depress the brake pedal with the right foot. Using the left foot could cause driver move- ment delay in case of an emergency. To prevent sudden acceleration, never run the engine at high rpms when shifting fromthe “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL) posi- tion. Operating the accelerator pedal while the other foot is resting on the brake pedal will affect braking efficiency and may cause pre-mature wear of brake pads. Use the selector lever in the correct shift position in accordance with driving condi- tions. Never coast downhill backward in the driv- ing shift position { “D” (DRIVE), “L” (LOW) or sports mode} or coast forward inthe “R” (REVERSE) position. Engine stopping and increased brake pedal and steering effort could lead to an accident.
 Do not rev the engine with the brake pedal pressed when the vehicle is stationary. This can damage the CVT. Also, when you depress the accelerator pedal while holding down the brake pedal with theselector lever in the “D” (DRIVE) position, the engine revolutions may not rise as high as when performing the same operation withthe selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
Passing acceleration

NOTE
 In sports mode, downshifts do not take place when the accelerator is depressed all the way to the floor.
Waiting

CAUTION
CAUTION To avoid transmission overheating, never try to keep your vehicle stationary on a hill by using the accelerator pedal. Always apply the parking brake and/or service brake. Unexpected acceleration may occur if the selector lever is in a position other than “P”(PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL). Before driving off from a stop, make sure that the selector lever is in “D” (DRIVE)position or “Sports mode” position.

N00540900019
To gain extra acceleration in “D” (DRIVE) position (when passing another vehicle) pushthe accelerator to the floor if it is safe to do so in traffic conditions. The Twin Clutch SST will automatically downshift.
N00541600026
The Twin Clutch SST may not upshift to a higher shift position if the computer deter- mines the current speed cannot be maintainedonce a higher shift position is engaged. For smoother vehicle performance, if you release the throttle while climbing a steepgrade, the Twin Clutch SST may not upshift.This is normal, as the computer is temporarily preventing shifting. After reaching the top of the hill, normal shift function will resume.
When traveling down steep grades, the com- puter may automatically select a lower shift position. This function assists engine brakingefforts, reducing the need for using the ser- vice brakes.
N00541000020
For short waiting periods, such as at trafficlights, the vehicle can be left in gearshift
 Do not rev the engine with the brake pedal pressed when the vehicle is stationary. This can cause sudden acceleration and dam- age the Twin Clutch SST. Also, when you depress the accelerator pedalwhile holding down the brake pedal with the gearshift lever in the “D” (DRIVE) position, the engine revolutions may not rise as highas when performing the same operation with the gearshift lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.

Hill start assist (for vehicles
equipped with Twin Clutch SST)
5-86 Features and controls
5
N00517600393
Your vehicle is equipped with power brakes for more braking force with minimal brake pedal effort.Your brakes are designed to operate at full capacity, even if the power assist is lost. If the power assist is lost, the effort needed topress the brake pedal is greater. If you should lose the power assist for some reason, the brakes will still work. If the power brake unit
or either of the two
brake hydraulic systems stops working prop-
erly, the rest of the br
ake system will still
work, but the vehicle will not slow down as quickly. You will know this has happened if you findyou need to depress the brake pedal down further, or harder when slowing down or stop- ping, or if the brake warning light and thewarning display in the multi-information dis- play come on.
N00532500087
The disc brakes have an alarm that makes ametallic squeal when the brake pads have worn down enough to need service. If youhear this sound, have the brake pads replaced at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
N00562600061
The hill start assist makes it easy to start offon a steep uphill slope by preventing the vehicle from moving backwards. It keeps the braking force for about 2 seconds when youmove your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
WA R N I N G Do not leave any objects near the brake pedal or let a floor mat slide under it; doing so could prevent the full pedal stroke that would be necessary in an emergency. Make sure that the pedal canbe operated freely at all times. Make sure the floor mat is securely held in place.CAUTION It is important not to drive the vehicle with your foot resting on the brake pedal when braking is not required. This practice can result in very high brake temperatures, pre-mature pad and lining wear, and possible damage to the brakes.
Power brakes
WA R N I N G Never coast downhill with the engine OFF. Keep the engine running whenever your vehicle is in motion. If you turn off the engine while driving, the power brakebooster will stop working and your brakes will not work as well. If the power assist is lost or if either brake hydraulic system stops working properly, take your vehicle to an authorized Mit-subishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice immediately.
Brake pad wear alarm
WA R N I N G Driving with worn brake pads will make it harder to stop, and can cause an accident.
Hill start assist (for vehicles equipped with Twin Clutch SST)
CAUTION Do not overly rely on the hill start assist to prevent backwards movement of the vehicle.Under certain circumstances, even when hill start assist is activated, the vehicle may move backwards if the brake pedal is not suf-ficiently depressed, if the vehicle is heavily loaded, or if the road is very steep or slip- pery. The hill start assist is not designed to keep the vehicle stopped in place on uphill slopes for more than 2 seconds.

Anti-lock braking system 5-88 Features and controls
5
N00517900282
The anti-lock braking system helps prevent the wheels from lockin
g up when braking.
This helps you keep control of your vehicle and its direction.
 When using the anti-lock brakes (sudden braking), steering is slightly different from normal driving conditions. Use thesteering wheel carefully.  Always keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you. Even if your vehi-cle is equipped with the anti-lock braking system, leave a greater braking distance when:• Driving on gravel or snow-coveredroads. • Driving on uneven road surfaces.  Operation of anti-lock braking system is not restricted to situations where brakes are applied suddenly. This system may also prevent the wheels from lockingwhen you drive over manholes, steel roadwork plates, road markings, or any uneven road surface.  When the anti-lock braking system is in use, you may feel the brake pedal vibrat- ing and hear a unique sound. You mayalso feel as if the pedal resists being pressed. In this situation, simply hold the brakepedal down firmly. Do not pump the brake, which will result in reduced braking performance.
NOTE
 Once the brake assist system is operational, it maintains great braking force even if the brake pedal is lightly released. To stop its operation, completely remove your foot from the brake pedal.  The brake assist system may become opera- tional when the brake pedal is fullydepressed even if it has not been depressed suddenly.  When the brake assist system is in use while driving, you may feel as if the depressed brake pedal is soft, the pedal moves in smallmotions in conjunction with the operation noise, or the vehicle body and the steering wheel vibrate. This occurs when the brakeassist system is operating normally and does not indicate faulty operation. Continue to depress the brake pedal.  You may hear an operation noise when the brake pedal is suddenly or fully depressedwhile stationary. This does not indicate a malfunction and the brake assist system is operating normally.
Anti-lock braking system
Driving hints
CAUTION The anti-lock braking system cannot prevent accidents. It is your responsibility to take safety precautions and to drive carefully.  To prevent failure of the anti-lock braking system, be sure all four wheels and tires are the same size and the same type. Never install a limited-slip differential as the anti-lock braking system may not function normally.Please consult an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.NOTE
 After your vehicle is driven a short distance after starting the engine, you will hear the sound coming from the engine compartment. These are the normal sounds the anti-lockbraking system makes when performing a self-check. It does not indicate a malfunc- tion.  The anti-lock braking system can be used after the vehicle has reached a speed overapproximately 6 mph (10 km/h). It stops working when the vehicle slows below approximately 3 mph (5 km/h).
