[Except for vehicles equipped with the F. A . S . T. - k e y ]  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”, 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 upenough for driving when the bar graph of engine coolant temperature display starts to move or the low coolant temperatureindicator goes out. Refer to “Engine cool- ant temperature display” on page 5-147.
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 than15 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. Press and hold the brake pedal down firmly with your 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 warninglights are functioning properly before starting the engine. 6. Turn the ignition switch to the “START”position without pressing the acceleratorpedal. 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 conditioning blower and rearwindow defogger, are turned off.
Tips for starting
WA R N I N G Never run the engine in a closed or poorly ventilated area any longer than is needed to 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 revolutions or drive at high speeds until the engine has hada chance to warm up. Release the ignition switch as soon as the engine starts. Otherwise, the starter motor will be damaged
Starting the engine
NOTE
 Minor noises may be heard on engine start- up. These will disappear as the engine warms up.

NOTE
 Do not leave the headlights and other lights on for a long period of time when the engine is not running. The battery will run down.  When it rains, or when the vehicle has been washed, the inside of the lens sometimes becomes foggy. This is the same as whenwindow glass mists up on a humid day, and does not indicate a problem. When the light is switched on, the heat will dry out the fog.However, if water collects inside the light, have it checked by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of yourchoice.

Combination headlights and dimmer switch
Features and controls 5-193
5
The sensitivity of the sensor can be temporar- ily lowering in the following ways. 1. Park your vehicle in a safe place and the ignition switch is turned to the “OFF” position or the operation mode is put inOFF.
NOTE
 The headlights may not be switched from high beam to low beam under the following circumstances. • A vehicle in front or oncoming vehicle is hindered by any object such as continuous bends, elevated median/island, traffic signs, roadside trees. • Your vehicle passes an oncoming vehicle suddenly on a bend with poor visibility. • Another vehicle crosses ahead of your vehi- cle.
 The headlights may remain at low beam (or be switched from high beam to low beam)when a reflective object
(e.g. street light,
traffic signal, noticeboard and signboard) reflects light.  Any of the following factors may influence the headlight beam switching timing: • How brightly the exteri
or lights of a vehicle
in front or oncoming vehicle illuminate. • Movement or direction of a vehicle in front or oncoming vehicle. • Only right or left exterior light of a vehicle in front or oncoming vehicle is illuminat-ing. • A vehicle in front or oncoming vehicle is a motorcycle. • Road conditions (gradient, bends and road surface). • The number of occupants and luggage load.
 The AHB recognizes environmental condi- tions by sensing a light source ahead of your vehicle. Therefore, you may feel like some- thing is not quite right when the headlight beams are switched automatically.  The system may not detect a light vehicle such as a bicycle.  The system may not detect an ambient brightness precisely. This causes the trafficto be dazzled by high beam or the low beam to be maintained. In such cases, you should switch the headlight beams manually. • In bad weather (heavy rain, fog, snow or sandstorm). • The windshield is dirty or fogged up. • The windshield is cracked or broken. • The sensor is deformed or dirty.• A light, which is similar to the headlights or tail lights, is shining around your vehicle. • A vehicle in front or oncoming vehicle is driven without lights, the exterior lights aredirty or discolored, or the direction of the headlight beams is adjusted improperly. • It becomes dark and bright suddenly and continuously around your vehicle. • Your vehicle is driven on uneven surfaces. • Your vehicle is driven on a winding road.• A reflective object such as a noticeboard or a mirror reflects a light ahead of your vehi- cle.NOTE
• When lights of the vehicle in front or head-lights of an oncoming vehicle blend into the other lights. • The rear end of a vehicle in front (such as a container truck) reflect a strong light. • Your vehicle's headlight
is broken or dirty.
• Your vehicle is inclined due to a flat tire or towing. • The warning display appears. (Refer to “System problem warning” onpage 5-194.)
 Observe the precautions below to maintain good usage conditions: • Do not attempt to disassemble the sensor.• Do not affix a sticker or label on the wind- shield near the sensor. • Avoid overload. • Do not modify your vehicle. • When the windshield is replaced, use the Mitsubishi Motors genuine parts.

N00579300057
ECO mode is an eco-driving support system which automatically controls the engine andair conditioning system to improve fuel effi- ciency. The ECO mode starts working by pressing the ECO mode switch when the ignitionswitch or operation mode is in ON.Push the switch again and the ECO mode will cancel. While the ECO mode is working, an ECOmode indicator will be turned on.
N00522801488
The front fog lights illuminate only when theheadlights are on low beam.Turning the knob in the direction of the “ON” position turns on the front fog lights as well as the indicator in the instrument cluster. Toturn them off, turn the knob in the direction of the “OFF” position. The knob will return to the neutral positionwhen it is released.
N00523001780
ECO mode switch
NOTE
 Since the air conditioning operation is con- trolled while the ECO mode is operating, you may feel that effectiveness of the airconditioner is weak.
 Even if the ECO mode is operating, you can select normal operation of the air condi- tioner. For further information, please contact your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
Front fog light switch
NOTE
NOTE
 If the headlights are switched to high beam, the front fog lights will go
out; they will illu-
minate again when the headlights are switched back to low beam.  If the light switch is rotated to the “OFF” or “ ” position while the front fog lights are illuminated, they will automatically turn off. They can be turned back on again by rotating the combination headlights and dimmer switch back to “ ” position, and turning the knob in the direction of the “ON” posi- tion.  Do not use fog lights except in conditions of fog, otherwise excessive light glare may temporarily blind oncoming vehicle drivers.
Wiper and washer switch
CAUTION If the washer is used in cold weather, the washer fluid sprayed against the glass may freeze, which may hinder visibility. Warmthe glass with the defroster before using the washer.
