 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 “OFF” position, wait a few seconds, and then tryagain. 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 up
enough for driving when the bar graph ofengine coolant temperature display starts to move. Refer to “Interrupt display screen (With ignition switch or operationmode in ON)” on page 5-93.
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. 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 way down (manual transaxle).
6. On vehicles equipped with manual trans- axle, place the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral) position. On vehicles equipped with continuouslyvariable transmission (CVT), make sure the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) position. 7. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” posi- tion and make certain that all warning lights are functioning properly beforestarting the engine. 8. Turn the ignition switch to the “START” position without pressing the acceleratorpedal. Release the key when the engine starts.
Tips for starting
WA R N I N G Never run the engine in a closed or poorly ventilated area any longer than is needed to move your vehicle out of the area. Car-bon monoxide gas, which 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 switch as soon as the engine starts. Otherwise, the starter motorwill be damaged.
Starting the engine
NOTE
 On vehicles equipped with CVT, the starter will not operate unless the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL) posi- tion.For safety reasons, start the engine in the “P” (PARK) position so that the wheels are locked.NOTE
 Minor noises may be heard on engine start- up. These will disappear as the engine warms up.

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 {contin-uously variable transmission (CVT)} orthe clutch pedal (manual transaxle), press the accelerator pedal halfway and hold it there, then crank the engine. Release theaccelerator 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 (CVT) or the clutch pedal (manual transaxle),push the accelerator pedal all the way down and hold it there, then crank the engine for 5 to 6 seconds. Return the igni-tion switch to the “OFF” position and release the accelerator pedal. Wait a few seconds, and then crank the engine againfor 5 to 6 seconds while depressing thebrake pedal (CVT) or the clutch pedal (manual transaxle), but do not push the accelerator pedal. Release the ignition keyif the engine starts. If the engine fails to start, repeat these procedures. If the engine still will not start, contact yourlocal Mitsubishi 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 with the selector leverin the “D” (DRIVE) or “R” (REVERSE) position.
This occurs because the transaxle has not warmed up sufficiently; it does not indicate a problem. If this occurs, place the selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position and let theengine idle for at least 10 minutes. The transaxle will warm up, and you will be able to start normally.Do not leave the vehicle during warm-up operation.

Always use care to change the gear with the vehicle speed matched to the engine speed. Proper shifting will improve fuel economyand prolong engine life.
N00512901154
For the best fuel economy and performance inusing your manual transaxle, upshift as listedbelow. At low altitude locations, upshift as listed below. At high altitude locations, upshift as listed below.
NOTE
 During cold weather, shifting may be diffi- cult until the transaxle lubricant has warmed up. This is normal and not harmful to the transaxle.
To start

CAUTION Do not move the gearshift lever into reverse while the vehicle is moving forward; doing so will damage the transaxle. Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal because this will cause premature clutch wear or damage. Do not coast in the “N” (Neutral) position (illegal in many states). Do not use the gearshift lever as a handrest, because this can result in premature wear of the transaxle shift forks.NOTE
 If it is hard to shift into 1st, depress the clutch pedal a second time; the shift will then be easier.
 To shift into reverse from 5th gear, move the gearshift lever to the “N” (Neutral) position, and then shift it into reverse.  The gearshift indicator shows recommended gearshift points for fuel-efficient driving. It shows a “ ” when an upshift is recom- mended, and it shows a “ ” when a down- shift is recommended.
Proper shift points

CAUTION Avoid downshifting that may cause the tachometer pointer to enter the red zone. This puts the engine at risk of being dam-aged.NOTE

It is recommended that you downshift to a lower gear when needed to maintain thedesired speed, according to the table. Avoid downshifting at too high a speed. The engine may suffer damage.To maintain a safe speed and prolong brake life, shift down to 2nd or 1st when descend- ing a steep hill.Downshifting is also important to avoid “lug-ging” the engine at too low a speed, such as when turning a corner or when driving up a steep hill.
N00513100228
 Do not use the gearshift lever as a han- drest. This can result in premature wear ofthe transaxle shift forks.
 The table above shows the maximum rec- ommended driving speed for in each gear. Do not drive near or at these speeds for prolonged periods of time.
N00560200047
The CVT will automatically and continuouslychange 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 5-53. The transmission prevents unnecessary upshifts even when the accelerator pedal isreleased and ensures smooth driving. According to the condi
tions, the transmission
will automatically shift to a lower gear ratioto achieve stronger engine braking. This may help reduce your need to use the service brake.
N00560300048
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.
