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 lever in the “D” (DRIVE) or “R” (REVERSE)position. This phenomenon occurs because the trans- axle has not warmed up sufficiently; it doesnot 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 warm up, and you will beable to start normally. Do not leave the vehicle during warm-up operation.

1. Stop the vehicle. 2. Fully engage the parking brake while depressing the brake pedal.3. On vehicles with a manual transaxle, press the engine switch to stop the engine, and then move the gearshift lever to the1st (on a uphill) or
“R” (Reverse) (on a
downhill) position. On vehicles equipped with continuouslyvariable transmission (CVT), move the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position, and then press the engine switch to stopthe engine.
N00568301067
Insert the F.A.S.T.-key into the key slot in theglove box. Starting the engine and changing the operation mode should be now possible. Remove the F.A.S.T.-key from the key slotafter starting the engine or changing the oper- ation mode.
Stopping the engine

WA R N I N G Do not operate the engine switch while driving except in an emergency. If theengine is stopped while
driving, the brake
servomechanism will cease to function and braking efficiency will deteriorate. Also,the power steering system will not func- tion and it will require greater manual effort to operate the steering. This could result in a serious accident.
NOTE
 If you have to bring the engine to an emer- gency stop while driving, press and hold the engine switch for 3 seco
nds or more, or press
it quickly 3 times or more. The engine will stop and the operation mode will go to ACC.  On vehicles equipped with continuously variable transmission (CVT), do not stop theengine with the selector lever in any position other than the “P” (PARK) position. If the engine is stopped with the selector lever inany position other than
the “P” (PARK) posi-
tion, the operation mode will go to ACC rather than OFF.Put the operation mode in OFF after placing the selector lever in the “P” (PARK) posi- tion.
If the F.A.S.T.-key is not operat- ing properly

NOTE
 Do not insert into the key slot anything other than the F.A.S.T.-key. This could cause dam-age or a malfunction.  Remove the object or additional key from the F.A.S.T.-key before inserting the key into the key slot. The vehicle may not be able to receive the registered ID code from the regis-tered key. Therefore, the engine may not start and the operation mode may not change.

Electric power steering system (EPS)
Features and controls 5-69

The anti-lock braking system and brake force distribution function may not work, so hard braking could make the vehicle unstable. Avoid hard braking and high-speed driving.Stop the vehicle in a safe place and contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or repair facility of your choice.
N00529200077
After driving on snow or icy roads, removeany snow and ice which may have be left around the wheels. On vehicles that have an anti-lock braking system, be careful not todamage the wheel speed sensors (A) or the cables located at each wheel.
N00568400061
The power steering system operates while the engine is running. It helps reduce the effortneeded to turn the steering wheel. The power steering system has mechanical steering capability in case the power assist is
lost. If the power assist is lost for some rea- son, you will still be able to steer your vehi- cle, but you will notice it takes much more effort to steer. If this happens, have your vehi-cle inspected at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
NOTE
 The anti-lock braking system warning light and brake warning light
illuminate at the
same time and the warning displays appear alternately on the information screen in the multi-information display.

WA R N I N G Do not stop the engine while the vehicle is moving. Stopping the engine would makethe steering wheel extremely hard to turn, possibly resulting in an accident.NOTE
 During repeated full-lock turning of the steering wheel (for example, while you are manoeuvring the vehicle into a parking space), a protection function may be acti-vated to prevent overheating of the power steering system. This function will make the steering wheel gradually harder to turn. Inthis event, limit your turning of the steering wheel for a while. When the system has cooled down, the steering effort will return to normal.  If you turn the steering wheel while the vehi- cle is stationary with the headlights on, the headlights may become dim. This behavioris not abnormal. The headlights will return to their original brightness after a short while.

Active stability control (ASC)
CAUTION Do not over-rely on the ASC. Even the ASC cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle. This system, like any other system, has limits and cannot helpyou to maintain traction and control of the vehicle in all circumstances. Reckless driv- ing can lead to accidents. It is the driver’sresponsibillty to drive carefully, This means taking into account the traffic, road and envi- ronmental conditions. Be sure to use the same specified type and size of tire on all four wheels. Otherwise, the ASC may not work properly.
 Do not install any aftermarket limited slip differential (LSD) on your vehicle. The ASC may stop functioning properly.NOTE
 An operation noise may be emitted from the engine compartment in the following situa- tions. The sound is associated with checkingthe operations of the ASC. At this time, you may feel a shock from the brake pedal if you depress it. These do not indicate a malfunc-tion. • When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode is put in ON. • When the vehicle is driven for a while after the engine is turned on.
 When the ASC is activated, you may feel a vibration in the vehicle body or hear a whin- ing sound from the engine compartment.This indicates that the system is operating normally. It does not indicate a malfunction.  When the anti-lock braking system warning light is illuminated, the ASC is not active.

 If the moving wipers become blocked part- way through a sweep by ice or other deposits on the glass, the wipers may temporarily stop operating to prevent the motor from over- heating. In this case, park the vehicle in asafe place, turn the ignition switch to the “OFF” position or put the operation mode in OFF, and then remove the ice or other depos-its. Because the wipers will start operating again after the wiper motor cools down, check thatthe wipers operate before using them.  Avoid using the washer for more than 20 sec- onds at a time. Do not operate the washer when the washer fluid reservoir is empty or the pump may fail.  During cold weather, add a recommended washer solution that will not freeze in thewasher fluid reservoir. Otherwise the washer may not work or may be damaged.  Replace the wiper blades when they are worn. Use the proper size replacement blades. For further information, please con-tact your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
