 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 5-26)  If the ignition switch is not turned to the “LOCK (PUSH OFF)” position when the engine is not running, the ID code cannot beverified and the engine will not start even if the ignition switch is turned to the “START” position. If this happens, fully return the ignition switch to the “LOCK (PUSH OFF)” position, and start the engine again.

 Do not operate the starter motor for longer than 15 seconds as this could run the bat- tery down or damage the starter motor. Ifthe engine does not start, turn the ignition switch back to the “LOCK” position, wait a few seconds, and then try again. Tryingrepeatedly 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 up enough for driving when the bar graph ofthe engine coolant temperature display starts to move. Refer to “Interrupt display screen (With ignition switch in the “ON”position)” on page 5-99. 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 feelvibration in the vehicle body. • If you shift the gearshift lever into the “N” (NEUTRAL) position and depressthe accelerator pedal, increases in the engine speed will be limited.

Your vehicle is equipped with an electroni- cally controlled fuel injection system. This isa system that automatically controls fuel injection. There is no need to depress the accelerator pedal when starting the engine.The starter motor 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. Press and hold the brake pedal down withyour right foot. 3. Press and hold the clutch pedal all the way down (manual transaxle).
4. On vehicles with manual transaxle, place the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral) position.On vehicles with Twin Clutch SST, makesure the gearshift lever is in the “P” (PARK) position. 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 rearwindow defogger, are turned off. 2. While depressing the brake pedal on vehi- cles equipped with Twin Clutch SST orthe clutch pedal on the vehicles equipped with manual transaxle, press the accelera- tor pedal halfway and hold it there, thencrank the engine. Release the accelerator pedal, immediately after the engine starts.
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.
Starting the engine

NOTE
 For models equipped with a manual trans- axle, the starter will
not operate unless the
clutch pedal is fully depressed (Clutch inter- lock). This is a safety feature.NOTE
 On vehicles with Twin Clutch SST, the starter will not operate unless the gearshift 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 warmsup.

To prevent vehicle theft, only the emergency key with the pre-registered F.A.S.T.-keyinserted can start the engine. (Electronic immobilizer function)
The engine is off and the steering wheel is locked. The emergency key can be inserted and removed only when the ignition switch is in this position. The electrical accessories can be used with the engine off. The engine will start only by using the emer- gency key with the F.A.S.T.-key inserted. It is possible to use all electrical accessories with only the emergency key. Engages the starter. Release the emergency key when the engine starts. The ignition switch returns automatically to the “ON” position.
1. Remove the emergency key from the F. A . S . T. - k e y. Refer to “Emergency key” on page 5-21.2. While pushing the lock release buttons (A), remove the cover of the ignition switch. 3. Insert the emergency key into the ignition switch, and slowly push and turn.

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 Twin Clutch SST or the clutch pedal on the vehicles equipped with manual transaxle, press the accelera-tor 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 on vehi-cles equipped with Twin Clutch SST orthe clutch pedal on the vehicles equipped with manual transaxle, push the accelera- tor pedal all the way down and hold itthere, then crank the engine for 5 to 6 sec- onds. Return the ignition switch to the “LOCK” position and release the acceler-ator pedal. Wait a few seconds, and then crank the engine again for 5 to 6 seconds while depressing the brake pedal or theclutch pedal, but do not 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, contact your local Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facil-ity of your choice for assistance.
When the ambient temperature is -22 °F (-30 °C) or lower, it may not be possible tostart from a standstill even with the gearshift lever in the “D” (DRIVE) or “R” (REVERSE) position.This phenomenon occurs because the trans- mission has not warmed up sufficiently; it does not indicate a problem. If it occurs,place the gearshift lever in the “P” (PARK)position and let the engine idle for at least 10 minutes. The transmission will warm up, and you willbe able to start normally. Do not leave the vehicle during warm-up operation.

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.
WA R N I N G Make sure to remove the F.A.S.T.-key from the emergency key after the engine is started. If not removed, the F.A.S.T.-key could fall to the floor, which could disturb the pedaloperation. Furthermore, the F.A.S.T.-key could prevent the driver’s knee airbag from inflating normally or could be pro-pelled to cause serious injury if the airbag inflates.NOTE
 If the emergency key is attached to a key ring, it may become impossible to insert the F.A.S.T.-key into the emergency key, and it may prevent the engine from being started.When using the emergency key to start the engine, first remove the key from the key ring.
