2019 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE CROSS warning lights

Starting the engine 5-58 Features and controls
5
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.
2. While depressing the brake pedal, press the accelerator pedal halfway and hold it there, then crank the engine. Release the accelerator pedal, immediately after theengine starts. 3. If the engine still will not start, the engine could be flooded with too much gasoline.While depressing the brake pedal, push the accelerator pedal all the way down and hold it there, then crank the engine for5 to 6 seconds. Return the ignition switchto the “OFF” and release the accelerator pedal. Wait a few seconds, and then crank the engine again for 5 to 6 seconds whiledepressing the brake pedal, but do not push the accelerator pedal. Release the ignition switch if the engine starts. If theengine fails to start, repeat these proce- dures. If the engine st
ill will not start, con-
tact your local Mitsubishi Motors dealeror a repair facility of your choice for assistance.

Continuously variable transmission (CVT)
Features and controls 5-65
5
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.
To park the vehicle, first bring it to a com- plete stop, firmly apply the parking brake,and then move the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position. If the CVT does not shift while driving, or your vehicle does not pick up enough speedwhen starting on an uphill slope, it may be that there is something unusual happening in the transmission, causing a safety device toactivate. Immediately have your vehicle checked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
 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) position or sports 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).
Parking When the CVT makes no speed change
NOTE
 When the warning display and “SLOW DOWN” or the warning display and “SERVICE REQUIRED” appear on the information screen in the multi-information display, there could be
a malfunction in the
CVT. Refer to “Continuously variable trans-mission (CVT): Warning display” on page 5-62.

N00568401127
The power steering system operates while the engine is running. It helps reduce the effort needed to turn the steering wheel. The power steering system has mechanicalsteering capability in case the power assist islost. 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 moreeffort to steer. If this happens, have your vehi- cle inspected at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of yourchoice.
Warning light
Warning display If there is a malfunction in the system, the warning light will come on and the warningdisplay will appear on the information screen in the multi-information display. Under normal conditions, the warning lightcome on when the ignition switch is turned tothe “ON” position or the operation mode is put in ON, and goes off after the engine has started.

WA R N I N G Do not stop the engine while the vehicle is moving. Stopping the engine would make the 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 tu
rning of the steering
wheel for a while. When the system has cooled down, the steering effort will returnto normal.  If you turn the steering wheel while the vehi- cle is stationary with the headlights on, the headlights may become dim. This behavior is not abnormal. The headlights will return totheir original brightness after a short while.

When the ACC no longer detects a vehicle in front, the buzzer will sound, the vehicle sym- bol in the display will disappear and your vehicle will slowly accelerate to the setspeed.
N00576900052
While the ACC is activat
ed, if your vehicle is
approaching too closely to the vehicle infront, the ACC gives a warning by sounding a buzzer and displaying a message. Apply the brakes to maintain the appropriate distance tothe vehicle in front.
WA R N I N G Never leave your vehicle while the ACC system is in the stationary vehicle hold state. When leaving the vehicle, apply the parking brake and move the selector leverto the “P” (PARK) position.NOTE
 When the ACC system is in the stationary vehicle hold state, the stop lights will illumi-nate.  While the ACC system is in the stationary vehicle hold state, the vehicle will not start moving again unless you press the “RES+” switch or depress the accelerator pedal.  When depressing the brake pedal while the automatic brake is applied, the brake pedalwill feel firm. This is normal. Depress the brake pedal harder to apply greater braking force.  During the automatic braking, operation sounds may be heard. This is normal.  If the turn-signal lever is operated while the ACC is active, the system may accelerate the vehicle to assist you in passing a vehicle in front.
 If the vehicle in front starts moving within 2 seconds after stopping, your vehicle will start moving.WA R N I N G Your vehicle may accelerate up to the set speed in the following situations. Apply the brake, if necessary, to slow down.• When your vehicle no longer follows thevehicle in front, e.g. at a freeway exit or when your vehicle or the vehicle in frontchanges its lane.NOTE
• When driving on a curve. When the vehicle in front has changed its course or lane, if a stationary vehicle appears in front your vehicle, the ACC will not decelerate your vehicle.

Forward Collision Mitigation sy
stem (FCM) (if so equipped) Features and controls 5-99
5
N00577300079
The Forward Collision Mitigation system (FCM) is designed to help reduce the risk of a collision with a vehicle or a pedestrian straight ahead of your vehicle. The FCM usesa sensor (A) to determine the distance andrelative speed to a vehicle and a pedestrian in front. The FCM is not designed as an auto- matic driving system or
as a collision avoid-
ance system. When your vehicle is approaching a vehicle or a pedestrian straight-ahead in your pathand the FCM judges that there is the risk of a collision, the system will give audible and visual warnings.When the FCM judges that a collision with the vehicle or the pedestrian straight-ahead is imminent, the system will automaticallyapply moderate braking to warn you to apply the brakes immediately. When the FCM judges that a collision withthe vehicle or the pedestrian straight-ahead is highly unavoidable, the system will apply emergency braking to reduce the severity ofthe collision and, if possible, to avoid the col- lision.
Stop lights are illuminated during automatic braking.

(if so
equipped)
WA R N I N G Before using the FCM, read this entire section to fully understand the limitationsof this system. Failur
e to follow instruc-
tions could result in an accident.
 The FCM is designed to help avoid certain frontal collisions or reduce the crash speed in such collisions. It is not a substi- tute for your safe and careful driving. Under certain circumstances, the systemmay not operate or may not detect cor- rectly a vehicle or a pedestrian in front. When your vehicle is approaching a vehi-cle or a pedestrian too closely, take all nec- essary actions to avoid a collision, such as braking and steering, regardless ofwhether the FCM is activated or not. Never rely on the FCM to prevent a colli- sion. Never attempt to test the operation of the FCM. Doing so could cause an accident,resulting in serious injury or death.WA R N I N G
