Retracting and extending the
mirrors using the mirror retrac- tor switch
With the ignition switch or the operation mode in ON or ACC, push the mirror retrac-
tor switch to retract the mirrors.
Push it again to extend the mirrors to their
original positions.
After turning the ignition switch to the
“LOCK” position or putting the operation
mode in OFF, it is possible to retract and ex- tend the mirrors using the mirror retractor
switch for approximately 30 seconds.
CAUT,ONz It is possible to retract and extend the mir-
rors by hand. After retracting a mirror using
the mirror retractor switch, however, you
should extend it by using the switch again, not by hand. If you extended the mirror by
hand after retracting it using the switch, it
would not properly lock in position. As a re- sult, the mirror could move because of thewind or vibration while you are driving, and
this may limit the driver

NOTE

[Except for vehicles equipped with keylessoperation system@
LOCK
The engine is stopped and the steering wheel
locked. The key can only be inserted and re- moved in this position.
ACC
The engine is stopped, but the audio system and other electric devices can be operated.
ON
The engine is running, and all the vehicle

CAUT,ONzDo not remove the ignition key from the ig-
nition switch while driving. The steeringwheel will be locked, causing loss of con-
trol.
z If the engine 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 manual effort to operate the steering.
z Do not leave the key in the “ON” position
for a long time when the engine is not run-
ning, doing so will cause the battery to be discharged.
z Do not turn the key to the “START” position
while the engine is running. Doing so could
damage the starter motor.Steering wheel lock

tion system@
For information on operations for vehicles
equipped with the keyless operation system, refer to “Keyless operation system: Steering

Tips for starting
z Do not operate the starter motor continu-
ously longer than 10 seconds; doing so
could run down the battery. If the engine
does not start, turn the ignition switch back to “LOCK”, wait a few seconds,
and then try again. Trying repeatedly
with the starter motor still turning will damage the starter mechanism.
:ARN,NGz Never run the engine in a closed or poorly
ventilated area any longer than is needed
to move your vehicle in or out of the area. Carbon monoxide gases are odourless and can be fatal.CAUT,ONz Never attempt to start the engine by pushing
or pulling the vehicle.
z Do not run the engine at high revolutions or
drive the vehicle at high speed until the en- gine has had a chance to warm up.
z Release the ignition key as soon as the en-
gine starts to avoid damaging the starter mo-
tor.

Starting the engine
[For vehicles equipped with keyless opera-tion system@
For information on operation for vehicles equipped with the keyless operation system,
refer to “Keyless operation system: Starting
and stopping the engine” on page 3-18.

[Except vehicles equipped with keyless op-
eration system@
The starting procedure is as follows:
1. Insert the ignition key and 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.
4. Fully depress the clutch pedal (M/T).
5. On vehicles equipped with M/T, place
the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral) position.
On vehicles equipped with CVT, make
sure the selector lever is in the “P”
(PARK) position.NOTEz On vehicles with CVT, the starter will not
operate unless the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
For safety reasons, start the engine in the
“P” (Park) position so that the wheels are
locked.
6. After turning the ignition switch to the
“ON” position, make certain that all
warning lamps are functioning properly before starting the engine.
7. Turn the ignition switch to the “START”
position without depressing the accelera- tor pedal, and release it when the engine starts.
NOTEz Minor noises may be heard on engine start-
up. These will disappear as the engine
warms up.
When it is difficult to start the
engine
After several attempts, you may experience that the engine still does not start. 1. Make sure that all electric devices, such
as lamps, air conditioning blower and
rear window demister, are turned off.

or the clutch pedal ( M/T), press the ac-
celerator pedal halfway and hold it there,

engine starts. If the engine fails to start, repeat these procedures. If the engine
still will not start, we recommend you to have the vehicle checked.

The Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system auto- matically stops and restarts the engine with-
out operating the ignition switch or the en-gine switch when the vehicle is stopped, such
as at a traffic light or in a traffic jam, to re- duce exhaust gases and increase fuel efficien- cy.CAUT,ONz If the vehicle will be stopped for a long time
or if you will leave the vehicle unattended,
turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” posi-
tion and press the engine switch to stop the
engine.NOTEz If the Auto Stop & Go (AS&G) system does
not operate or it operates less frequently, the battery capacity may have decreased. Have
your vehicle inspected by a MITSUBISHI
