A- External transmitter B- Internal transmitterWA R N I N G Individuals using ot
her electro-medical
apparatus besides implantable pacemak- ers and implantable
cardiovascular-defi-
brillators should
check with the
manufacturer of the apparatus to confirm the effect of the el
ectromagnetic waves
used by the F.A.S.T.-key. The electromag-netic waves may affect
the operations of
the electro-medical apparatus.
NOTE
The F.A.S.T.-key uses weak electromagnetic waves.In cases such as the following, operation may be improper or unstable. • The vehicle is near a facility that emits strong electromagnetic
waves, such as a TV
transmitting tower, a pow
er station, a radio
station or an airport • The key is carried t
ogether with other com-
munication devices such
as cellular phones
or radios, or electrical appliances such as computers • The F.A.S.T.-key touches or is covered by a metal object • A keyless entry system is being used nearby • The battery of the F.A.S.T.-key is run down • The vehicle is in a location with strong electromagnetic
waves or noise
Use the emergency key to lock and unlock the driver’s door in such circumstances.Refer to “To operate without using theF.A.S.T.-key” on page 5-27. If you want to start the engine or change the operation mode, insert
the F.A.S.T.-key into
the key slot in the instrument panel. Refer to “If the F.A.S.T.-key is not operating properly” on page 5-26. The F.A.S.T.-key is constantly performing reception operations in its communicationwith the vehicle. This means that the battery is always running down, regardless of how often the F.A.S.T.-key is used. The batterylife is approximately 1
to 3 years, depending
on the usage conditions. Since the F.A.S.T.-key is constantly perform- ing reception operati
ons, the reception of
strong electromagnetic
waves can accelerate
the running down of the battery. Do not place near to electrical appliances such as televi- sions or computers.

The CVT will automati
cally and continuously
change its gear ratio depending on road anddriving conditions. This helps achieve smooth driving and excellent fuel efficiency. If your vehicle is equipped with the spor- tronic steering wheel paddle shifter, you can manually shift up and shift down the trans-mission. Refer to “Sports mode” on page 5-79. The transmission prevents unnecessary upshifts even when the accelerator pedal is released and ensures smooth driving. According to the conditions, the transmission will automatically shift to a lower gear ratioto achieve stronger engine braking. This may help reduce your need to use the service brake.
Waiting
CAUTION To avoid transaxle over
heating, never try to
keep your vehicle stat
ionary 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).

To gain extra acceleration in “D” (DRIVE) position (when passing an
other vehicle) push
the accelerator to the floor. The CVT willautomatically downshift. For short waiting periods, such as at traffic lights, the vehicle can be
left in selector lever
position and held stationary with the service brake.For longer waiting periods with the engine running, place th
e selector lever in the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position and apply the parkingbrake, while holding the vehicle stationary with the service brake. Prior to moving off after having stopped thevehicle, make sure that the selector lever is in “D” (DRIVE) position or Sports mode posi- tion.
To park the vehicle, fi
rst 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 speed when starting on an uphill slope, it may bethat there is something unusual happening in the transmission, causi
ng a safety device to
activate. Have your ve
hicle checked at an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice immediately.
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 acce
leration, never run
the engine at high rpms when shifting from the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL). 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), “DS”
(DOWN SHIFT & SPORTY DRVING), “L” (LOW) position or sports mode} or coastforward 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 th
e “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.CAUTION
