 Do not operate the starter motor continu- ously for longer than 15 seconds as this could run the battery down or damage thestarter 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 withthe 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. The engine is warmed up enough for driv- ing when the bar graph of engine coolant temperature display starts to move. Driv-ing before the bar graph moves may cause deterioration of turbocharger performance and driveability. A longer warm up periodwill only consume extra fuel.  On vehicles equipped with the Twin Clutch SST, the following may occur afterthe engine is started, but they do not indi- cate an abnormality.
 Do not turn the key to the “START” position when the engine is running. It will damage the starter motor.

[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. Car- bon monoxide gas, which is odorless and extremely poisonous, could build up andcause 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 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” (P
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.

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 enginecould 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 to start 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; itdoes 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 will be able to start normally. Do not leave the vehicle during warm-upoperation.

Turbocharger operation
Features and controls 5-55

N00537300077
The turbocharger increases engine power by pushing large amounts of air into the engine’s cylinders. The finned parts inside the turbo-charger turn at extremely high speeds and are subjected to extremely high temperatures. They are lubricated by engine oil and cooledby engine oil and coolan
t. If the engine oil is
not replaced at the specified intervals, the bearings may seize or emit abnormal noise.
NOTE
 For vehicles with Twin Clutch SST, the engine will stop and the vehicle power will turn off approximately 1 second after the ignition switch is turned to the “LOCK” position. The reason for this is that, in the time from when the ignition switch is turned to the“LOCK” position until the engine stops, the gears inside the Twin Clutch SST disengage so that the engine will start smoothly thenext time it is started. Two clutches installed in the Twin Clutch SST alternately engage and disengage toachieve smooth shifting. In addition, the gear on the side with the free clutch is engaged, therefore, quick shifting isperformed. If the engine was stopped with the gear engaged like this, it would provide resistancethe next time the engine is started. Therefore, the gear disengages in the approximately 1- second period until the engine stops.  For vehicles with Twin Clutch SST, do not operate the gearshift lever or the acceleratorpedal for approximately 1 second until the engine stops.
 If the temperature inside the engine compart- ment is high, the cooling fans (A) will con- tinue to operate for some time even if the engine is stopped. Therefore, the operation sound of the coolingfans may be heard even after the engine is stopped. This sound is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.After operating for a period of time, the cool- ing fans will stop automatically.
Turbocharger operation
CAUTION Do not run the engine at high speeds (for example, by revving it or by accelerating rapidly) immediately after starting it.NOTE
 Do not stop the engine immediately after high-speed or uphill driv
ing. First allow the
engine to idle to give the turbocharger a chance to cool down. Engine oil must be properly maintained to avoid engine and/or turbocharger damage. To better protect your engine and turbo-charger, use fully synthetic engine oil.

When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, the gearshift lever position isshown on the multi-information display. In addition, when the vehicle is driven with the gearshift lever in the “D” (DRIVE) posi-tion, the forward gear number is shown.
N00563000017
When the gearshift lever is placed in the “R” (REVERSE) position, the gearshift lever position display on th
e multi-information dis-
play may blink and the vehicle will not move because the gears in the transmission have not engaged.If this occurs, perform the following proce-dure. 1. Depress the brake pedal with your right foot and place the gearshift lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position. 2. Place the gearshift lever in the “R” (REVERSE) position, and confirm that the gearshift lever position display stopsblinking. 3. Repeat 1 and 2 above if the gearshift lever position display continues to blink.
WA R N I N G If the pull-ring is always pulled up when using the gearshift lever, the gearshift lever may be accidentally shifted into the “P” (PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position. Do not pull up the pull-ring when making shifts shown by in the illustration. Always depress the brake pedal when shifting the gearshift lever into the other position from the “P” (PARK) or “N”(NEUTRAL) position. When beginning to drive, do not shift the gearshift lever from the “P” (PARK) or“N” (NEUTRAL) position while depress- ing the accelerator pedal. Doing so is dan- gerous because the vehicle will “jump”forward or backward.NOTE
 For a shift indicated by in the illustration, depress the brake pedal before moving the gearshift lever. If you attempt to move thegearshift lever before depressing the brake pedal, the gearshift lever will be immovable.  Do not accelerate immediately after moving the gearshift lever. It may take some time for the transmission to shift to the selected gear.  When the gearshift lever is operated when the Twin Clutch SST fluid temperature islow, the time required to shift to the selected gear may be longer than usual.

When the ignition switch is set to the “ON” position, operate the Twin Clutch SST control mode switch (A) to change the control mode. When the engine is started, the control mode is automatically set to the “Normal” mode. Use the following procedures to change the control mode. While the vehicle is stopped or being driven, push the Twin Clutch SST control modeswitch forward.
S-Sport
(Super Sport)
In the “S-Sport” mode, shifting occurs at higher engine speeds and is even quicker than in the “Sport” mode. “S-Sport” mode is designed to be used while driving on closed circuit tracks. Do not use this mode on public roads.
NOTE
 Damage to your vehicle caused by racing and/or driving on closed circuit tracks will not be covered under warranty. Please reviewthe “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL: NEW VEHICLE LIMITED WARRANTY”.

mode
Characteristic
 When continuously driving on closed circuit racetracks or at other locations where the engine is operated at high speeds and under a heavy load, the Twin Clutch SST fluid tem- perature will have a tendency to rise.In this case, if the temperature rises too high, the warning display will appear on the information screen in the multi-information display to alert the driver. If the warning display appears, be sure to refer to “Warning display” on page 5-60 and follow the appropriate measures.  The Twin Clutch SST control mode can be selected both when “D” range operation is selected and when manual shifting is selected.  If you select “Sport” mode or “S-Sport” mode while the engine is cold, the transmis-sion may shift up at different speeds com- pared to that when the engine is warm. This is simply the operation of the controlsystem to warm the engine quickly. It does not indicate a malfunction.  For slippery road surfaces, such as roads with accumulated snow, “Normal” mode is recommended for smooth shifting at low engine speeds.NOTE

Using the gearshift lever (A) or the sportronic steering wheel shifters (B), shifting can be performed manually.
Shifting can be performed even while the accelerator pedal is depressed. This allows the driver to enjoy sporty driving,such as quick cornering, by nimbly down- shifting to reduce vehi
cle speed just before
entering a curve.
