[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.

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.
When the ambient temperature is -22 °F (-30 °C) or lower, it may not be possible tostart from a standstill even with the selector
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

When the selector lever cannot be shiftedfrom the “P” (PARK) position to another position while the brake pedal is pressed andheld down with the ignition switch at the“ON” position or the operation mode in ON, the battery may be flat or the shift-lock mech- anism may be malfunctioning.Immediately have your vehicle checked by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice.If you need to move the vehicle, shift the selector lever as follows. 1. Make sure the parking brake is firmly applied.2. Stop the engine if it is running.
The lock button must be pushed while the brake pedal is depressed to move the selector lever.
The lock button must be pushed to move the selector lever. The lock button need not be pushed to move the selector lever.
WA R N I N G If the lock button is always pushed to operate the selector lever, the lever may be accidentally shifted into the “P” (PARK)or “R” (REVERSE) position. Be sure not to push the lock button when performing the operations indicated by in the illustration. Always press the brake pedal when shift- ing the selector lever into a selector posi- tion from the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.When beginning to driv
e, do not shift the
selector lever from the “N” (NEUTRAL) position while pressing the acceleratorpedal. This will cause the vehicle to “jump” forward or backward.NOTE
 To prevent mistakes in operating the lever, make sure you stop briefly at each position. After operating, check the position in the multi-information display.  If the brake pedal is not depressed and held, the shift-lock device activates to prevent theselector lever from being moved from the “P” (PARK) position.
 For a shift indicated by in the illustra- tion, depress the brake pedal before moving the selector lever. If
you attempt to move the

-
ASC operation display/ASC indicator The display/indicator will blink whenthe ASC is operating.
-
ASC OFF indicator This indicator will turn on when theASC is turned off with the ASC OFF switch.
CAUTION When display/indicator blinks, ASC is operating, which means that the road is slip- pery or that your vehicle’s wheels are begin- ning to slip. If this happens, drive slower. If the temperature in the braking system con- tinues to increase due to continuous brake control on a slippery road surface, the indicator will blink. To prevent the brake system from overheat- ing, the brake control of the traction controlfunction will be temporarily suspended. The engine control of the traction control function and normal brake operation will notbe affected. Park your vehicle in a safe place. When the temperature in the braking system has come down, the indicator will be turned off and the traction control f
unction will start operat-
ing again.NOTE
 The indicator may come on when you start the engine. This means that the battery voltage momentarily dropped when the engine was started. It does not indicate a malfunction, provided that the display goesout immediately.
