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 the engine” on page 5-20. [Except for vehicles equipped with the Free-hand Advanced Security Transmitter(F.A.S.T.-key)]  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 of engine coolant temperature display startsto move. Refer to “Interrupt display screen (With ignition switch or operation mode in ON)” on page 5-95.
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 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. Make sure the parking brake is applied. 4. Press and hold the brake pedal downfirmly 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.
Tips for starting
WA R N I N G Never run the engine in a closed or poorly ventilated area any longer than is neededto move your vehicle out of the area. Car- bon monoxide gas, which is odorless and extremely poisonous, could build up andcause 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 achance to warm up. Release the ignition switch as soon as the engine starts. Otherwise, the starter motor will 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.

7. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” posi- tion and make certain that all warning lights are functioning properly before starting the engine.8. Turn the ignition switch to the “START” position without pressing the accelerator pedal. Release the key when the enginestarts.
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)} or the clutch pedal (manual transaxle), press the accelerator pedal halfway and hold itthere, then crank the engine. Release the accelerator 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.

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 5-55. 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. 2. Move the selector lever to the desiredposition.

CAUTION In sports mode, the driver must execute upward shifts in accordance with prevailing road conditions, taking care to keep the engine speed below the red zone. Repeated continuous operation of the selec- tor lever or the sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter will continuously switch shiftposition. On vehicles with a sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter, shift ranges may not change when the lateral paddle shifters are operated at the same time.NOTE
 The upward shift may be made automatically in sports mode when the engine revolutions rises and approaches the tachometer’s redzone (the red-colored part of the tachometer dial).  Shift ranges can only be selected in a for- ward direction from 1st to 6th. To reverse or park the vehicle, move the selector lever tothe “R” or “P” position.
 To maintain good running performance, the transmission may refuse to perform an upshift when the selector lever or sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter is moved to the “+ (SHIFT UP)” position at certain vehiclespeeds. Also, to prevent over-revving of the engine, the transmission may refuse to per- form a downshift when the shift lever orsportronic steering wheel paddle shifter is moved to the “- (SHIFT DOWN)” position at certain vehicle speeds. When this happens, abuzzer sounds to indicate that a downshift is not going to take place.  In sports mode, downward shifts are made automatically when the vehicle slows down. When the vehicle stops, 1st position is auto-matically selected.

To gain extra acceleration in “D” (DRIVE) position (when passing another vehicle) push the accelerator to the floor. The CVT will automatically downshift.
For short waiting periods, such as at traffic lights, the vehicle can be left in selector leverposition and held stationary with the service brake. For longer waiting periods with the enginerunning, place the selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position and apply the parking brake, while holding the vehicle stationarywith the service brake. Prior to moving off after having stopped the vehicle, make sure that the selector lever is in“D” (DRIVE) position or Sports mode posi- tion.
Operation of the CVT

CAUTION Before selecting a position with the engine running and the vehicle stationary, firmly depress the brake pedal to prevent the vehi- cle from creeping.The vehicle will begin to move as soon as the CVT is engaged, especially when the engine speed or idle speed is high, or with the airconditioning operating. Do not release the brake pedal until you are ready to drive away. Depress the brake pedal
with the right foot at
all times.Using the left foot could cause driver move- ment delay in case of an emergency. To prevent sudden acceleration, never run the engine at high rpms when shifting from the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL).Type 1 Type 2
 Operating the accelerator pedal while the other foot is resting on the brake pedal will affect braking efficiency and may cause pre- mature wear of brake pads. Use the selector lever in the correct shift position in accordance with driving condi- tions.Never coast downhill backward in the driv- ing shift position {“D” (DRIVE) or sport mode} or coast forward in the “R”(REVERSE) position. Engine stopping and increased brake pedal and steering effort could lead to an accident. Do not rev the engine with the brake pedal pressed when the vehicle is stationary.This can damage the CVT. Also, when you depress the accelerator pedal while holding down the brake pedal with theselector lever in the “D” (DRIVE) position, the engine revolutions may not rise as high as when performing the same operation withthe selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
Passing acceleration

CAUTION
NOTE
 In sports mode, downshifts do not take place when the accelerator is depressed all the way to the floor.
Waiting

CAUTION To avoid transmission overheating, never try to keep your vehicle stationary on a hill by using the accelerator pedal. Always apply the parking brake and/or service brake. Do not rev the engine unnecessarily while the vehicle is stationary. Unexpected acceler-ation may occur if the selector lever is in a position other than “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL).
