With the ignition switch in the “ON” or “ACC” position or the
operation mode in ON
or ACC, push the mirror retractor switch to retract the mirrors. Push it again to extend the mirrors to their original positions. After placing the ignition switch in the“LOCK” position or the operation mode in OFF, it is possible to
retract and extend the
mirrors using the mirror retractor switch forabout 30 seconds.
[Vehicles with the keyless entry system] The mirrors automatically retract or extend when the doors are locked or unlocked usingthe remote control switches of the keyless entry system. Refer to “Keyless entry system” on page 5-7. [Vehicles with the Free-hand Advanced Secu- rity Transmitter (F.A.S.T-key)]The mirrors automatically retract or extend when the doors are locked or unlocked using the remote control switches or the F.A.S.T-key. Refer to “Keyless entry system” on page 5-30 or “To operate using the F.A.S.T.-key” onpage 5-15.
For vehicles equipped with the mirror retractor switchRetracting and extending the mir- rors using the mirror retractor switch
CAUTION It is possible to retract and extend the mirrors by hand. After retracti
ng a mirror using the
mirror retractor switch, however, you shouldextend it by using the switch again, not by hand. If you extended the mirror by hand after retracting it using
the switch, it would
not properly lock in pos
ition. As a result, it
could move because of the wind or vibration while you are driving, taking away your rear-ward visibility.NOTE
 Be careful not to get your hands trapped while a mirror is moving.  If you move a mirror by hand or it moves after hitting a person or object, you may not be able to return it to its original positionusing the mirror retractor switch. If this hap- pens, push the mirror retractor switch to place the mirror in its
retracted position and
then push the switch again to return the mir- ror to its original position.  When freezing has occurred and mirrors fail to operate as intended,
please refrain from
repeated pushing of the retractor switch asthis action can result in burn-out of the mir-ror motor circuits.

 Do not operate the starter motor continu- ously for longer than 15 seconds as this could run the battery
down or damage the
starter motor. If the engine does not start,turn the ignition switch back to the “OFF” or “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.  A longer warm up period will only con- sume extra fuel. The engine is warmed upenough for driving when the bar graph of engine coolant temper
ature display starts
to move or the low coolant temperatureindicator goes out. Refer to “Engine cool- ant temperature display” on page 5-171 or “Low coolant temper
ature indicator” on
page 5-215.
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 15seconds 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. Press and hold the brake pedal down withyour right foot. 4. Make sure the selector

and then move the sele
ctor lever to the “P”
(PARK) position. If the transaxle does not change gears while driving, or your vehicle does not pick up enough speed when starting on an uphillslope, it may be that there is something unusual happening in the
transaxle, causing a
safety device to activa
te. Have your vehicle
checked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choiceimmediately.
N00560201060
The CVT will automati
cally and continuously
change its gear ratio depending on road anddriving conditions. This helps achieve smooth driving and excellent fuel efficiency. If your vehicle is equipped with the spor- tronic steering wheel paddle shifter, you can manually shift up and shift down the trans-mission. Refer to “Sports mode” on page 5-80. The transmission prevents unnecessary upshifts even when the accelerator pedal is released 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.
N00560301090
As an additional safe
ty precaution, models
equipped with a continuously variable trans- mission have a shift-lock device that holdsthe selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position. To move the selector lever from the “P”the steps below. 1. Press and hold the brake pedal down. 2. Move the selector lever to the desiredposition.
The CVT selects an optimum ratio automati- cally when the selector lever is in the “D”
nding on the speed of
the vehicle and the positi
on of the accelerator
pedal.
