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 drai
n, 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. Press and hold the brake pedal down withyour right foot. 4. Make sure the selector
lever is in the “P”
(PARK) position.5. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” posi- tion and make certain that all warning lights are functioning properly beforestarting the engine. 6. Turn the ignition switch to the “START” position without pre
ssing the accelerator
pedal. Release the
ignition switch when
the engine 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 conditi
oning blower and rear
window defogger, are turned off.
2. While depressing the brake pedal, press the accelerator peda
l halfway and hold it
there, then crank the engine. Release the accelerator pedal, immediately after the engine starts.3. If the engine still wi
ll not start, the engine
could be flooded with too much gasoline. While depressing the brake pedal, pushthe accelerator pedal all the way down and hold it there, then crank the engine for 5 to 6 seconds. Return the ignition switch to the “OFF” or “LOCK” position and release the accelerator pedal. Wait a fewseconds, and then crank the engine again for 5 to 6 seconds while depressing the brake pedal, but do
not push the accelera-
tor pedal. Release the ignition key if the engine starts. If the e
ngine fails to start,
repeat these procedures
. If the engine still
will not start, contact your local Mitsubi- shi 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 startfrom a standstill even with the selector lever
WA R N I N G Never run the engine in
a closed or poorly
ventilated area any lo
nger than is needed
to move your vehicle out of the area. Car-bon monoxide gas, whic
h 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 th
e engine has had a
chance to warm up. Release the ignition sw
itch as soon as the
engine starts. Otherwise, the starter motor will be damaged

in 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 the engine idle for at least 10 minutes. The transaxle will wa
rm up, and you will be
able to start normally. Do not leave the vehicle during warm-up operation. The MIVEC engine automatically switches its intake-valve contro
l between a low-speed
mode and a high-speed mode in accordance with driving conditions for maximum engineperformance.

Automatic transaxle will automaticallychange its gear depending on road and driv-ing conditions. This
helps achieve smooth
driving and excellent fuel efficiency. Also you can manually shift up and shiftdown the transaxle. Refer to “Sports mode” on page 5-68. The transaxle prevents unnecessary upshifts even when the accelerator pedal is releasedand ensures smooth driving. According to the conditions, the transaxle will automatically shift to a lower gear to achieve stronger engine
braking. This may
help reduce your need to use the servicebrake.
N00513801408
As an additional safe
ty precaution, models
equipped with an automatic transaxle have a shift-lock device that
holds the selector lever
in the “P” (PARK) position. To move theselector lever from the “P” (PARK) position to another position, follow the steps below. 1. Press and hold the brake pedal down. 2. Move the selector
lever to the desired
position.
The transaxle has 6 forward gears and 1 reverse gear.
Using the MIVEC engine
NOTE
 To protect the engine, the high-speed mode may not be selected wh
ile the engine coolant
temperature is low. In such a case, the engine revolutions do not rise to over 5,000 rpmeven if the accelerator pedal is depressed.

NOTE
 During the break-in pe
riod or immediately
after reconnecting the
battery, your vehicle
may not shift smoothly. This does not indi-cate a problem in the transaxle. Shifting will become smoother once the transaxle has been shifted several
times by the electronic
control system.
