The electronic immobilize
r 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 is
attempted. A valid st
art attempt can only be
achieved (subject to ce
rtain conditions) using
a F.A.S.T.-Key “registered” to the immobi- lizer system. All of the keys provided with your new vehi-cle have been program
med to the vehicle’s
electronics.
N00561000042
Only the F.A.S.T.-keys that have been pro-grammed to the vehicle’s electronics can be used to start the vehicle. If you lose the F.A.S.T.-key, you can order a F.A.S.T.-key from your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer by referring to the key number. To prevent vehicle theft, take your vehicleand the remaining F.A.S.

Wind buffeting can be de
scribed as the per-
ception of pressure on the ears or a boomingor rumbling sound. Your
vehicle may exhibit
wind buffeting when driving with one or both rear door windows down or partially opened.This is a normal occurrence that can be mini- mized. If the buffeting
occurs with the rear
door windows open, open the front door win- dows as well as the rear door windows to minimize the condition.
N00511400399
To park the vehicle, first bring it to a com-plete stop, fully engage the parking brake,and then move the gearshift lever to 1st (on a uphill) or “R” (Reverse) (on a downhill) posi- tion for vehicles equipped with a manualtransaxle, set the selector lever to “P” (PARK) position for vehi
cles equipped with a
continuously variable transmission (CVT).
 The safety mechanism is deactivated while the switch is pulled up.
Therefore be espe-
cially careful that fi
ngers are not trapped in
the door window opening. Do not deliberately tr
ap your hands or head
in order to activate the safety mechanism. Your hand or head coul
d be trapped and per-
sonal injury could result.NOTE
 The safety mechanism can be activated if the driving conditions or
other circumstances
cause the door window to be subjected to a physical shock similar to that caused by trapped hand or head.  If the battery termin
als are disc
onnected or
the fuse for electric
window is replaced, the
safety mechanism will be cancelled and the door window will not
automatically
open/close completely.If the window is open,
repeatedly raise the
driver’s door window switch until the win- dow has been fully cl
osed. Following this,
release the switch, raise the switch onceagain and hold it in this
condition for at least
1 second, then release it. You should now be able to operate the driver’s door window inthe normal fashion.CAUTION

For information on
operation for vehicles
equipped with the Free-hand Advanced Secu-rity Transmitter (F.A
.S.T.-key), refer to
“Free-hand Advanced
Security Transmitter
(F.A.S.T.-key): Starting and stopping theengine” on page 5-16. [Except for vehicles equipped with the Free-hand Advanced Se
curity Transmit-
ter (F.A.S.T.-key)]  Do not operate the starter motor continu- ously for longer than 15 seconds as thiscould run the battery
down or damage the
starter motor. If the engine does not start, turn the ignition switch back to the “OFF”position, wait a few se
conds, and then try
again. Trying repeatedly with the engine or starter motor still turning will damagethe 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 low coolant temperature indi
cator goes out.
Refer to “Low coolant temperature indi- cator” on page 5-71.
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.
CAUTION If the engine is stopped while driving, the brake servomechanism w
ill cease to function
and braking efficiency will deteriorate. Also, the power steering syst
em will not function
and it will require gr
eater manual effort to
operate the steering. Do not leave the key in
the “ON” position for
a long time when the engine is not running, doing so will cause th
e battery to be dis-
charged. Do not turn the key to the “START” position when the engine is running, doing so coulddamage the starter motor.

The disc brakes have an alarm that makes a metallic squeal when
the brake pads have
worn down enough to need service. If you hear this sound, have the brake pads replaced at an authorized Mitsubishi Motorsdealer or a repair fa
cility of your choice.
N00562600087
The hill start assist makes it easy to start off on a steep uphill slope by preventing thevehicle from moving backwards. It keeps the braking force for about 2 second when you move your foot from the brake pedal to theaccelerator pedal.
N00562700091
1. Stop the vehicle completely using thebrake pedal.2. Place the selector lever into the “D” posi- tion. 3. Release the brake peda
l and the hill start
assist will maintain the braking forceapplied while stoppi
ng for approximately
2 seconds. 4. Depress the accelera
tor pedal and the hill
start assist gradually will decrease the braking force as the vehicle starts moving.
WA R N I N G Never coast downhill
with the engine OFF.
Keep the engine running whenever your vehicle is in motion. If you turn off the engine while driving, the power brakebooster will stop wo
rking and your brakes
will not work as well. If the power assist is lost or if either brake hydraulic system stop
s working properly,
take your vehicle
to an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer
or a repair facil-
ity of your choice immediately.
Brake pad wear alarm
WA R N I N G Driving with worn brake pads will make it harder to stop, and can cause an accident.
Hill start assist
(if so equipped)
CAUTION Do not overly rely on th
e hill start assist to
prevent backwards movement of the vehicle.Under certain circumstan
ces, even when hill
start assist is activated, the vehicle may move backwards if the brake pedal is not suf-ficiently depressed, if
the vehicle is heavily
loaded, or if the road is very steep or slip- pery.  The hill start assist is not designed to keep the vehicle stopped in
place on uphill slopes
for more than 2 seconds. When facing uphill, do not
rely on using the
hill start assist to ma
intain a stopped position
as an alternative to depressing the brake pedal.Doing so could cause an accident.
 Do not perform the following operation while the hill start assist is operating.[Except for vehicles equipped with theF. A . S . T. - k e y ] Turn the ignition switch to the “OFF” or “ACC” position.[Vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key] Put the operation mode
in OFF or ACC. The

Anti-lock braking system
Features and controls 5-47

This helps maintain vehicle drivability and steering wheel handling.  When using the anti-lock brakes (sudden braking), steering is slightly different from normal driving conditions. Use thesteering wheel carefully.  Always keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you. Even if your vehi- cle is equipped with
the anti-lock braking
system, leave a greater braking distancewhen: • Driving on gravel or snow-covered roads.• Driving on uneven road surfaces.  Operation of anti-lock braking system is not restricted situations where brakes areapplied suddenly. Th
is system may also
prevent the wheels from locking when you drive over manholes, steel roadworkplates, road markings
, or any uneven road
surface.  When the anti-lock braking system is in use, you may feel the brake pedal vibrat- ing and hear a unique sound. It may also feel as if the pedal
resists being pressed.
In this situation, si
mply hold the brake
pedal down firmly. Do not pump the brake, which will result in reducedbraking performance.
N00531600674
If there is a malfunction in the system, the anti-lock braking system warning light will come on.Under normal conditions, the ABS warning light comes on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operationmode is put in ON and goes off a few seconds later.
Driving hints
CAUTION The anti-lock braking system cannot prevent accidents. It is your
responsibility to take
safety precautions a
nd to drive carefully.
To prevent failure of the anti-lock braking system, be sure all 4 wheels and tires are thesame size and the same type.NOTE
 You may feel the ope
rating sound or vibra-
tion from under the body when driving immediately after starti
ng the engine. This is
a normal result the an
ti-lock braking system
makes when performing a self-check. It does not indicate a problem.  The anti-lock braking system can be used after the vehicle has
reached a speed over
approximately 6 mph (10 km/h). It stops working when the vehicle slows below 3 mph (5 km/h).
Anti-lock braking system warn- ing light
CAUTION Any of the following i
ndicates that the anti-
lock braking system is not functioning andonly the standard brake system is working. (The standard brake
system is functioning
normally.) If this happens, take your vehicleto an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility
of your choice.
