NOTE
Your vehicle is equipped with an electronic immobilizer.
To start the engine, the ID code which the F.A.S.T.-key
sends must match the one registered to the immobilizer
computer. (Refer to “Electronic immobilizer (Anti-theft
starting system)” on page 3-28)Changing the operation mode
N00568000025
If you press the engine switch without pressing the brake pedal
{continuously variable transmission (CVT)} or the clutch
pedal (manual transaxle) while the vehicle is stationary, you
can change the operation mode in the order of OFF, ACC, ON,
OFF.
Warning activation
N00503500216
With the F.A.S.T.-key, warnings are given through buzzers and
displayed symbols in order to prevent mistaken operations or
vehicle theft.
When a warning operates, be sure to check the vehicle and the
F.A.S.T.-key. A warning is also shown if there is a problem in
the F.A.S.T.-key.
If the following warning shows, contact an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
CAUTION
!
When the engine is not running, put the operation
mode in OFF. Leaving the operation mode in ON or
ACC for a long time when the engine is not running
may cause the battery to be discharged, making it
impossible to start the engine.
When the battery is disconnected, the current oper-
ation mode is memorized. After reconnecting the
battery, the memorized mode is selected automati-
cally. Before disconnecting the battery for repair or
replacement, make sure to put the operation mode
in OFF.
Be careful if you are not sure which operation mode
the vehicle is in when the battery is run down.
The operation mode cannot be changed from OFF to
ACC or ON if the F.A.S.T.-key is not detected to be
in the vehicle. Refer to “Operating range for start-
ing the engine and changing the operation mode” on
page 3-17.

3. Press and hold the brake pedal down with your right foot.
4. Press and hold the clutch pedal all the way down (manual
transaxle).
5. On vehicles equipped with manual transaxle, place the
gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral) position.
On vehicles equipped with continuously variable trans-
mission (CVT), make sure the selector lever is in the “P”
(PARK) position.NOTE
On vehicles equipped with continuously variable trans-
mission (CVT), the engine can only be started when the
selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL)
position.
For safety reasons, the engine should be started when the
selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) position in which the
driving wheels lock.
6. Press the engine switch.
7. Confirm that all warning lights and warning displays are
functioning properly.NOTE
Minor noises may be heard on engine start-up. These will
disappear as the engine warms up.
When the engine is hard to start
After several attempts, you may experience that the engine still
does not start.
1. Make sure that all electric devices, such as lights, air con-
ditioning blower and rear window defogger, are turned
off.2. While depressing the brake pedal {continuously variable
transmission (CVT)} or the clutch pedal (manual
transaxle), press the accelerator pedal halfway and hold it
there, then crank the engine. Release the accelerator
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 (CVT) or the clutch pedal (manual transaxle),
push the accelerator pedal all the way down and hold it
there, then press the engine switch to crank the engine. If
the engine does not start after 5 to 6 seconds, push the
engine switch to stop cranking the engine, and release the
accelerator pedal. Put the operation mode in OFF. Wait a
few seconds, and then press the engine switch to crank the
engine again while depressing the brake pedal (CVT) or
the clutch pedal (manual transaxle), but do not push the
accelerator pedal. If the engine fails to start, repeat these
procedures. If the engine still will not start, contact your

Startability of continuously variable transmission (CVT)
vehicles with an ambient temperature of -22 °F (-30 °C) or
lower
When the ambient temperature is -22 °F (-30 °C) or lower, it
may not be possible to start from a standstill even with the
selector lever in the “D” (DRIVE) position.
This phenomenon occurs because the transaxle has not warmed
up sufficiently; it does not indicate a problem. If this occurs,
place the selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position and let the
engine idle for at least 10 minutes.
The transaxle will warm up, and you will be able to start nor-
mally.
Do not leave the vehicle during warm-up operation.Stopping the engine
N00568200014
NOTE
If you have to bring the engine to an emergency stop
while driving, press and hold the engine switch for 3 sec-
onds or more, or press it quickly 3 times or more. The
engine will stop and the operation mode will go to ACC.
On vehicles equipped with continuously variable trans-
mission (CVT), do not stop the engine with the selector
lever in any position other than the “P” (PARK) position.
If the engine is stopped with the selector lever in any posi-
tion other than the “P” (PARK) position, the operation
mode will go to ACC rather than OFF.
Put the operation mode in OFF after placing the selector
lever in the “P” (PARK) position.
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Fully engage the parking brake while depressing the brake
pedal.
3. On vehicles with a manual transaxle, press the engine
switch to stop the engine, and then move the gearshift
lever to the 1st (on a uphill) or “R” (Reverse) (on a down-
hill) position.
On vehicles equipped with continuously variable trans-
mission (CVT), move the selector lever to the “P”
(PARK) position, and then press the engine switch to stop
the engine.
If the F.A.S.T.-key is not operating properly
N00568300031
Insert the F.A.S.T.-key into the key slot of the floor console.
Starting the engine and changing the operation mode should be
now possible.
Remove the F.A.S.T.-key from the key slot after starting the
engine or changing the operation mode.
WA R N I N G
!
Do not operate the engine switch while driving
except in an emergency. If the engine is stopped
while driving, the brake servomechanism will cease
to function and braking efficiency will deteriorate.
Also, the power steering system will not function
and it will require greater manual effort to operate
the steering. This could result in a serious accident.
