raine, when ambient temperature is low even after the engine has been warmed up, and
when the gearshift lever is put in the “N” (Neutral) position (M/T ) or the selector lever
is put in the “P” (PARK) position or “N”
(NEUTRAL) position ( A/T), the idling
speed may increase.
It does not indicate a malfunction.For vehicles equipped with the keyless op-
eration system
1. Fasten the seat belt.
2. Make sure the parking brake is applied.
3. Press and hold the brake pedal down
firmly with your right foot.
NOTEz When the engine is not started, it may be-
come hard to depress the brake pedal and thevehicle may not be able to detect the pedal
operation.
Therefore the engine may not be started. In such a case, depress the brake pedal more
firmly than usual.
4. On vehicles equipped with M/T, depress
the clutch pedal all the way and place
the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral)
position.

NOTEzMinor noises may be heard on engine start-
up. These will disappear as the engine
warms up.
z Vehicles for Russia, Kazakhstan and Uk-
raine, when ambient temperature is low even after the engine has been warmed up, and
when the gearshift lever is put in the “N” (Neutral) position (M/T ) or the selector lever
is put in the “P” (PARK) position or “N”
(NEUTRAL) position ( A/T), the idling

It does not indicate a malfunction.Stopping the engine
Except for vehicles equipped
with the keyless operation sys- tem
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
2. Fully engage the parking brake while de-
pressing the brake pedal.
3. For vehicles equipped with M/T, turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” position
to stop the engine, and then move the
gearshift lever to the 1 st
(on a uphill) or
“R” (Reverse) (on a downhill) position.
For vehicles equipped with A/T, place
the selector lever in the “P” (PARK) po-
sition, and stop the engine.
For vehicles equipped with the keyless op-
eration system:ARN,NGz Do not operate the engine switch while
driving except in an emergency. If the en-
gine is stopped while driving, the brake servomechanism will cease to function
and braking efficiency will deteriorate. Also, the power steering system will not
function and it will require greater man- ual effort to operate the steering. This could result in a serious accident.NOTEz If you have to bring the engine to an emer-
gency stop while driving, press and hold the engine switch for 3 seconds or more, or
press it quickly 3 times or more. The engine will stop and the operation mode will go to ACC.
z Do not stop the engine with the selector lev-
er in any position other than the “P” (PARK) position (A/T). If the engine is stopped with
the selector lever in any position other than
the “P” (PARK) position, 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.
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Fully engage the parking brake while de-
pressing the brake pedal.
3. On vehicles with M/T, press the engine
switch to stop the engine, move the gear-
shift lever to the 1 st
(on a uphill) or “R”
(Reverse) (on a downhill) position.
On vehicles with A/T, move the selector
lever to the “P” (PARK) position, press the engine switch to stop the engine.Fuel injection amount learning
process
To keep exhaust emissions and engine noise
low, the engine very occasionally performs a
learning process for the fuel injection amount.
The engine sounds slightly different from
usual while the learning process is taking
place. The change in the engine sound does not indicate a fault.
If the keyless operation key is
not operating properly
Insert the keyless operation key into the key
slot. Starting the engine and changing the op- eration mode should now be possible.
Starting and stopping the engine
6-202.7((Starting and driving6

Remove the keyless operation key from the
key slot after starting the engine or changing the operation mode.NOTEz Do not insert into the key slot anything other
than the keyless operation key. This could
cause damage or a malfunction.
z Remove the object or additional key from
the the keyless operation key before insert-ing the key into the key slot. The vehicle
may not be able to receive the registered ID
code from the registered key. Therefore, the engine may not start and the operation mode
may not change.
z The keyless operation key is fixed, if the key
is inserted in the key slot as illustrated.
When pulling out the key, pull out in the state.Keyless operation key remind-
er*
If the operation mode is in OFF and the driv- er’s door is opened with the keyless operation key in the key slot, the warning lamp will
blink and the outer buzzer sounds for approx- imately 3 seconds and the inner buzzer
sounds for approximately 1 minute to remind
you to remove the key.
Diesel particulate filter
(DPF)
The diesel particulate filter (DPF) is a device
that captures most of the particulate matter
(PM) in the exhaust emissions of the dieselengine. The DPF automatically burns away
trapped PM during vehicle operation. Under certain driving conditions, however, the DPFis not able to burn away all of the trapped PM
and, as a result, an excessive amount of PM accumulates inside it.:ARN,NGz The DPF reaches very high temperatures.
Do not park your vehicle in areas where
combustible materials such as dry grass or leaves can come in contact with a hot
exhaust system since a fire could occur.CAUT,ONz Do not use any type of fuel or engine oil that
is not specified for your vehicle. Also, do not use any moisture-removing agent or oth-
er fuel additive. Such substances could have a detrimental effect on the DPF.
Refer to “Fuel selection” on page 2-02 and
“Engine oil” on page 10-05.

6-212.7((Starting and driving6

NOTEzTo minimize the likelihood of excessive ac-
cumulation of PM, try to avoid driving for long periods at low speeds and repeatedly
driving short distances, and try to keep high
engine speed driving as much as possible.
z The engine sounds slightly different than
usual while the DPF automatically burns
away trapped PM. The change in the engine
sound does not indicate a fault.
DPF warning lamp
The DPF warning lamp comes on in the
event of an abnormality in the DPF system.
If the DPF warning lamp
comes on during vehicle opera- tion
Steady illumination of the DPF warning lamp shows that the DPF has not been able to burn
away all of the trapped PM and that, as a re-
sult, an excessive amount of PM has accumu- lated inside it. To enable the DPF to burn
away the PM, try to drive the vehicle as fol-
lows:
z With the bar graph of engine coolant
temperature display stabilized in roughly the middle of the scale, drive for approx-
imately 20 minutes at a speed of at least 40 km/h (25 mph).

If the DPF warning lamp subsequently stays
on, contact your MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.
CAUT,ONz You do not have to continuously drive exact-
ly as indicated above. Always strive to drive safely in accordance with road conditions.If the DPF warning lamp flash-
es during vehicle operation
Flashing of the DPF warning lamp indicates an abnormality in the DPF system. Have the system inspected by a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
CAUT,ONz Continuing to drive with the DPF warning
lamp flashing could result in engine trouble and DPF damage.Turbocharger operation*CAUT,ONz Do not run the engine at high speeds (for ex-
ample, by revving it or by accelerating rap-
idly) immediately after starting it.
z Do not stop the engine immediately after
high-speed or uphill driving. First allow the
engine to idle to give the turbocharger a
chance to cool down.
Turbocharger operation*
6-222.7((Starting and driving6

Turbocharger
The turbocharger increases engine power bypushing large amounts of air into the engine’scylinders. The finned parts inside the turbo-
charger turn at extremely high speeds and are subjected to extremely high temperatures.
They are lubricated and cooled by engine oil.
If the engine oil is not replaced at the speci- fied intervals, the bearings may seize or emit
abnormal noise.

Auto Stop Go (AS G)
system*
The Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system auto- matically stops and restarts the engine with-
out operating the ignition switch or engineswitch when the vehicle is stopped, such as at
a traffic light or in a traffic jam, to reduce ex- haust gases, increase fuel efficiency.CAUT,ONz If the vehicle will be stopped for a long time
or if you will leave the vehicle unattended,
stop the engine.NOTEz The accumulated time the engine has been
stopped by the AS&G system is displayed in
the multi information display. Refer to “Au-
to Stop & Go monitor” on page 5-05.Automatically stopping the en-
gine
The AS&G system is automatically activated when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position or the operation mode is put in
ON.
You can deactivate the system by pressing the “AS&G OFF” switch.
Refer to “To deactivate” on page 6-26.
When the AS&G system will operate, the in-
dication lamp will turn on to inform the driv-
er.
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. While depressing the brake pedal, fully
depress the clutch pedal and place the
gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral) posi-
tion.
