[For vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key]
For information on operation for vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key, refer to “F.A.S.T.-key: Starting the engine” on page 5-19. [Except for vehicles equipped with the F. A . S . T. - k e y ] Your vehicle is equipped with an electroni- cally controlled fuel injection system, whichautomatically controls the release of fuel. There is usually no need to depress the accel- erator pedal when starting the engine.The starter should not be run for more than15 seconds at a time. To prevent battery drain, wait a few seconds between attempts to restart the engine. 1. Make sure all occupants are properly seated with seat belts fastened. 2. Insert the ignition key. 3. Make sure the parking brake is applied.4. Press and hold the brake pedal down with your right foot. 5. Press and hold the clutch pedal all the waydown (manual transaxle).
6. 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. 7. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” posi- tion and make certain that all warninglights 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.
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.

Release the ignition switch as soon as the engine starts. Otherwise, the starter motorwill be damaged.

ARK) 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 are locked.

The dome light can be turned on by sliding the dome light switch.
CAUTION Be aware that using electronic equipment with the engine off may run the battery down. When the 12 V power outlet is not in use, be sure that the plug is installed. This will pre- vent the 12 V power outlet from becoming dirty and possibly short-circuiting. Be sure to use a “plug-in” type accessory operating at 12 V and 120 W or less.

The driver’s door is closed after all the other doors are closed while the lock knob of the driver’s door is in the lock position. The door is closed and the power door lock switch is used to lock the doors. The keyless entry system remote control transmitter is used to lock the doors. In vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key, the doors are locked using the F.A.S.T.-key.
NOTE
When the engine is started using the key while the doors are closed, if you remove thekey, the dome light will illuminate for approximately 30 seconds then go off. When the engine is started using the F.A.S.T.-key while the doors are closed, if the ignition switch is moved to the “LOCK” position, the dome light will illuminate for approximately 30 seconds and then go off. The time until the light goes off can be adjusted. See your authorized MitsubishiMotors dealer for details.
