will stop functioning
and greater effort for braking will be required. Also, the
power steering system
will not function and it
will require greater
effort to manually steer 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 ru

“Free-hand Advanced

(F.A.S.T.-key): Starting” on page5-12. [Except for vehicles equipped with the Free-hand Advanced Security Transmit- ter (F.A.S.T.-key).]  Do not operate the starter motor continu- ously for longer than 15 seconds as this could run the battery
down or damage the
starter motor. If the engine does not start, turn the ignition switch back to the “OFF” or “LOCK” position,
wait a few seconds,
and then try again. Trying repeatedly with the engine or starter motor still turning will 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.  A longer warm up period will only con- sume extra fuel. The engine is warmed upenough for driving when the bar graph of engine coolant temper
ature display starts
to move or the low coolant temperatureindicator goes out. Refer to “Engine cool- ant temperature display” on page 5-128 or “Low coolant temper
ature indicator” on
page 5-166.
This model is equipped with an electronically controlled fuel injection system. This is a sys-tem that automatically controls fuel injection. 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 secondsbetween attempts to restart the engine. 1. Make sure all occupants are properly seated with seat belts fastened.
2. Insert the ignition key. 3. Press and hold the brake pedal down withyour right foot. 4. Make sure the selector
lever is in the “P”
(PARK) position.5. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” posi- tion and make certain that all warning lights are functioning properly beforestarting the engine. 6. Turn the ignition switch to the “START” position without pressi
ng the accelerator
pedal. Release the ignition switch 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 conditio
ning blower and rear
window defogger, are turned off.
Tips for starting
WA R N I N G Never run the engine in
a closed or poorly
ventilated area any longer than is neededto move your vehicle
out of the area. Car-
bon monoxide gas, wh
ich is odorless and
extremely poisonous, could build up and cause 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 sw
itch as soon as the
engine starts. Otherwis
e, the starter motor
will be damaged
Starting the engine
NOTE
 Minor noises may be heard on engine start- up. These will disappear as the engine warmsup.

2. While depressing the brake pedal, press the accelerator peda
l halfway and hold it
there, then crank th
e 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, pushthe accelerator pedal all the way down and hold it there, then crank the engine for 5 to 6 seconds. Return the ignition switch to the “OFF” or “LOCK” position and release the accelerator pedal. Wait a fewseconds, and then crank the engine again for 5 to 6 seconds while depressing the brake pedal, but do no
t push the accelera-
tor pedal. Release the ignition key if the engine starts. If the engine fails to start, repeat these procedures
. If the engine still
will not start, cont
act your local Mitsubi-
shi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice for assistance.
When the ambient temperature is -22 °F (-30 °C) or lower, it may not be possible to start
from a standstill even wi
th the selector lever
in the “D” (DRIVE) position.This occurs because the transaxle has not warmed up sufficiently
; it does not indicate a
problem. If this occurs, place the selectorlever in the “P” (PAR
K) position and let the
engine idle for at least 10 minutes. The transaxle will wa
rm up, and you will be
able to start normally. Do not leave the vehicle during warm-up operation. The MIVEC engine automatically switches its intake-valve control between a low-speed mode and a high-speed mode in accordance with driving conditions for maximum engineperformance.

Automatic transaxle will automaticallychange its gear depe
nding on road and driv-
ing conditions. This
helps achieve smooth
driving and excellent fuel efficiency. Also you can manually shift up and shiftdown the transaxle. Refer to “Sports mode” on page 5-65. The transaxle prevents
unnecessary upshifts
even when the accelerator pedal is releasedand ensures smooth driving. According to the conditions, the transaxle will automatically shift to a lower gear to achieve stronger engine braking. This may help reduce your need to use the servicebrake.

 To protect the engine

The CVT will automati
cally and continuously
change its gear ratio depending on road anddriving conditions. This helps achieve smooth driving and excellent fuel efficiency. Also you can manually shift up and shiftdown the transmission. Refer to “Sports mode” on page 5-72. The transmission prevents unnecessary upshifts even when the accelerator pedal is released and ensures smooth driving.
According to the condi
tions, the transmission
will automatically shift to a lower gear ratio to achieve stronger engi
ne braking. This may
help reduce your need to use the service brake.
N00560301061
As an additional safe
ty precaution, models
equipped with a continuously variable trans-mission have a shift-lock device that holds the selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position. To move the selector lever from the “P”(PARK) position to another position, follow the steps below. 1. Press and hold the brake pedal down. 2. Move the selector lever to the desiredposition.
The CVT selects an optimum ratio automati- cally when the selector lever is in the “D”(DRIVE) position, depending on the speed of the vehicle and the posit
ion of the accelerator
pedal.
NOTE
 When the warning display and “SLOW DOWN” or the wa
rning display and
“SERVICE REQUIRED” appear on the information screen in the multi-informationdisplay, there could be
a malfunction in the
automatic transaxle. Refer to “Automatic transaxle: Warning di
