On vehicles equipped with CVT, make
sure the selector lever is in the “P”
(PARK) position.Vehicles with M/TVehicles with CVT
NOTEl On vehicles with CVT, the starter will not
operate unless the selector lever is in the “P”
(PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL) position. For safety reasons, start the engine in the
“P” (PARK) position so that the wheels are locked.
6. After turning the ignition key to the
“ON” position, make certain that all
warning lamps are functioning properly before starting the engine.
7. Turn the ignition key to the “START”
position without depressing the accelera-
tor pedal, and release it when the engine starts.
NOTEl Minor noises may be heard on engine start-
up. These will disappear as the engine
warms up.
When it is difficult to start the
engine
After several attempts, you may experience that the engine still does not start. 1. Make sure that all electric devices, such
as lamps, air conditioning blower and
rear window demister, are turned off.
2. While depressing the brake pedal ( CVT)
or the clutch pedal ( M/T), press the ac-
celerator pedal halfway and hold it there,
then crank the engine. Release the accel- erator pedal, immediately after the en-
gine starts.
3. If the engine still will not start, the en-
gine could be flooded with too much
petrol. While depressing the brake pedal (CVT ) or the clutch pedal ( M/T), push
the 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 “LOCK” position and re- lease the accelerator pedal. Wait a fewseconds, and then crank the engine again
for 5 to 6 seconds while depressing the
brake pedal ( CVT) or the clutch pedal
(M/T ), but do not push the accelerator
pedal. Release the ignition key if the en-
gine starts. If the engine fails to start, re- peat these procedures. If the engine still will not start, we recommend you to
have the vehicle checked.Starting the engine (diesel-

NOTEl Minor noises may be heard on engine start-
up. These will disappear as the engine
warms up.NOTEl For diesel-powered vehicles, if the tempera-
ture inside the engine compartment is high,
the cooling fans (A) will continue to operate for some time even if the engine is stopped.
Therefore, the operation sound of the cool-
ing fans 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 cooling fans will stop automatically.

DRIVING DOWNHILL
According to the conditions, the transmission
will automatically shift to a lower gear to achieve stronger engine braking. This may
help reduce your need to use the service
brake.
Waiting
E00604600388

For longer waiting periods with the engine
running, place the selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position and apply the parking
brake, while holding the vehicle stationary with the service brake.
CAUTIONl Never hold the vehicle stationary while in
gear on a hill with the accelerator, always
apply the parking brake and/or service
brake.Parking
E00604700305
To park the vehicle, first bring it to a com-
plete stop, fully engage the parking brake,and then move the selector lever to the “P”
(PARK) position.
If you are going to leave the vehicle unatten-
ded, always switch off the engine and carry the key.NOTEl On a slope, be sure to apply the parking
brake before moving the selector lever to the
“P” (PARK) position. If you move the selec- tor lever to the “P” (PARK) position before applying the parking brake, it may be diffi-
cult to disengage the selector lever from the
“P” (PARK) position when next you drive the vehicle, requiring application of a strong
force to the selector lever to move from the
“P” (PARK) position.When the A/T makes no speed
change
E00604801941
If the transmission does not change speeds
while driving, or your vehicle does not pick up enough speed when starting on an uphillslope, it may be that there is something un-
usual happening in the transmission, causing a safety device to activate. We recommendthat you have your vehicle inspected immedi-
ately.

system (TPMS)* E00637100279
The tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
uses tyre inflation pressure sensors (A) on the wheels to monitor the tyre inflation pressures.
The system only indicates when a tyre is sig-
nificantly under-inflated.
The base tyre pressure can be set at desired value by the driver with the reset function ex-
ecution. (The low pressure warning threshold is set based on the reset.)
The tyre inflation pressure sensor IDs for two
sets of tyres can be registered by aMITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point, and the valid ID set can be switched by the multi-information meter switch (It’s ben-
eficial in case of seasonal tyre change be- tween summer tyre and winter tyre.)WARNINGl The spare wheel does not have a tyre in-
flation pressure sensor.
When the spare tyre is used, the tyre pres- sure monitoring system will not work
properly.
See a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point as soon as possible to replace or repair the original tyre.
