[For vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.- key]For information on operation for vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key, refer to “Free-hand Advanced Security Transmitter(F.A.S.T.-key): Starting” on page 5-12.
[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 thiscould 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 5-145.
• The time until the power cuts out can be changed to approximately 60 minutes. • The ACC power auto-cutout function can be deactivated. For details, we recommend you to consult an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. On vehicles equipped with the Smartphone Link Display Audio, screen operations canbe used to make the adjustment. Refer to the separate owner’s manual for details.
To remove the key
NOTE
NOTE
The key cannot be removed unless the selec- tor lever is set to the “P” (PARK) position, which allows the ignition switch to turn to the “OFF” position.CAUTION If the engine is stopped while driving, the power brake booster will stop functioning and greater effort for braking will be required. Also, the power steering systemwill not function and it will require greater effort to manually steer the vehicle. Do not leave the key in the “ON” position for a long time when the engine is not running. This will cause the battery to run down. Do not turn the key to the “START” position when the engine is running. It will damagethe starter motor.

Continuously variable transmission (CVT)
Features and controls 5-63
5
At this position, the transmission is disen- gaged. It is the same as the neutral position ona manual transaxle and
should be used when
the vehicle is not moving for an extended length of time during driving, such as in atraffic jam.
This position is used for most city and high- way driving. The transmission will automati-cally and continuously change its gear ratio depending on road and driving conditions.
N00560701124
Whether the vehicle is stationary or inmotion, sports mode is selected by gently pushing the selector lever from the “D”(DRIVE) position into sports mode gate (A). To return to “D” (DRIVE) operation, gently push the selector lever back into the maingate (B).
In sports mode, gear shifts can be made rap- idly simply by moving the selector lever backward and forward or using the sportronic steering wheel paddle sh
ifter at the steering
wheel (for vehicles equipped with the spor- tronic steering wheel paddle shifter). In con- trast to a M/T, the sports mode allows gearshifts with the accelerator pedal depressed.
CAUTION Never shift into the “P” (PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in motion. If the lever is shifted into the “P” (PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in motion, the transmissionmay be damaged.
“N” NEUTRAL
WA R N I N G Never move the selector lever to the “N” (NEUTRAL) position while driving since you could accidentally slip it into the “P” (PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position,damaging the transmission. To prevent the vehicle from rolling when stopped on a slope, the engine should be started in the “P” (PARK) position, not in“N” (NEUTRAL) position.
To prevent rolling, always keep your foot on the brake pedal when the vehicle is in “N” (NEUTRAL) position, or when shift- ing into or out of “N” (NEUTRAL) posi- tion.
“D” DRIVE
CAUTION To prevent transmission damage, never shift into the “D” (DRIVE) position from the “R”(REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in motion.
Sports mode
WA R N I N G
NOTE
You can shift into sports mode with the spor- tronic steering wheel paddle shifter when the selector lever is in the main gate (B) as well.Also, you can return to the “D” (DRIVE) operation in any of following ways. When returning to “D” (DRIVE) operation,the selector lever position display will change to “D” (DRIVE) position. • Pull the sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter on the (SHIFT UP) side for lon- ger than 2 seconds. • Stop the vehicle.• Push the selector lever from the “D” (DRIVE) position into the manual gate (A)and push the selector lever back into the main gate (B).

In sports mode, the currently selected shift range is displayed on the information screenin the multi-information display.
N00560801109
1-
(SHIFT UP) Transmission shifts up once by eachoperation.
2-
(SHIFT DOWN) Transmission shifts down once by eachoperation.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 tachometer’s redzone. Repeated continuous operation of the selec- tor lever or the sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter will continuously switch shift position. Shift ranges may not change when the lateral paddle shifters are operated at the same time.
NOTE
Shift ranges can only be selected in a for- ward direction from 1st to 8th. To reverse or park the vehicle, move the selector lever to the “R” (REVERSE) or “P” (PARK) posi- tion. To maintain good running performance, the transmission may refuse to perform anupshift when the selector lever or the spor- tronic steering wheel paddle shifter on the “ (SHIFT UP)” side is pulled at certain vehicle speeds. Also, to prevent over-revving of the engine, the transmission may refuse toperform a downshift when the selector lever or the sportronic steering wheel paddle shifter on the “ (SHIFT DOWN)” side is pulled at certain vehicle speeds. When this happens, a buzzer sounds to indicate that a downshift is not going to take place. Downward shifts are made automatically when the vehicle slows down. Before the vehicle stops, 1st gear is automatically selected. The upward shift may be made automatically in sports mode when the engine speed risesand approaches the tachometer’s red zone.

Operation of the CVT
CAUTION Before selecting a position with the engine running and the vehicle stationary, firmlydepress the brake pedal to prevent the vehi- cle from creeping. The vehicle will begin to move as soon as theCVT is engaged, especially when the engine speed or idle speed is high, or with the air conditioning 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 revolutions when shifting from the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL).
