The engine is warmed up enough for driv- ing when the bar graph of engine coolant temperature display starts to move. Refer to “Engine coolant temperature display”on page 5-150.
Your vehicle is equipped with an electroni- cally controlled fuel injection system. This system automatically controls fuel injection.There is usually no need to depress the accel- erator pedal when starting the engine. To prevent battery drain, wait a few secondsbetween attempts to restart the engine.
1. Make sure all occupants are properly seated with seat belts fastened. 2. Make sure the parking brake is applied. 3. Press and hold the brake pedal downfirmly with your right foot. 4. Make sure the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) position. 5. Press the engine switch. 6. Confirm that all warning lights and warn- ing displays are functioning properly.
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 itthere, then crank the engine. Release the accelerator pedal, immediately after the engine starts.
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 and cause serious injury or death.CAUTION Do not push-start the vehicle.Do not run the engine at high rpms or drive at high speeds until the engine has had a chance to warm up.
Starting the engine

NOTE
 After the engine has not started for a while, the brake pedal effort needed to start theengine may become greater. If this occurs, depress the brake pedal more firmly than usual.NOTE
 The engine can only be started when the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) or “N”(NEUTRAL) position. For safety reasons, the engine should be started when the selector lever is in the “P”(PARK) position in which the driving wheels lock.
NOTE
 Minor noises may be heard on engine start- up. These will disappear as the engine warms up.

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 downand hold it there, then press the engine switch to crank the engine. If the engine does not start after 5 to 6 seconds, pushthe engine switch to stop cranking the engine, and release the accelerator pedal. Put the operation mode in OFF. Wait afew seconds, and then press the engineswitch to crank the engine again while depressing the brake pedal, but do not push the accelerator pedal. If the enginefails to start, repeat these procedures. If the engine still will not start, contact your local Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repairfacility of your choice for assistance.
Startability of the engine with an ambient temperature of -22 °F (-30 °C) or lower When the ambient temperature is -22 °F (-30°C) or lower, it may not be possible to start from a standstill even with the selector lever in the “D” (DRIVE) or “R” (REVERSE)position. This phenomenon occurs because the trans- axle has not warmed up sufficiently; it doesnot indicate a problem. If this occurs, place the selector lever in the “P” (PARK) position and let the engine idle for at least 10 minutes.
The transaxle will warm up, and you will be able to start normally. Do not leave the vehicle during warm-up operation.

dal firmly with your
right foot. 2. While depressing the brake pedal, touch the portion of the F.A.S.T.-key shown inthe illustration to the engine switch.
Stopping the engine

WA R N I N G Do not operate the engine switch while driving except in an emergency. If the engine is stopped while driving, the brake servomechanism will cease to function andbraking efficiency will deteriorate. Also, the power steering system will not func- tion and it will require greater manualeffort to operate the steering. This could result in a serious accident.NOTE
 If you have to bring the engine to an emer- gency stop while driving, press and hold the engine switch for 3 seco
nds or more, or press
it quickly three times or more. The enginewill stop and the operation mode will go to ACC.
 Do not stop the engine with the selector lever in any position other than the “P” (PARK) position. If the engine is stopped with the selector lever in any position other than the “P” (PARK) position, the operation modewill go to ACC rather than OFF. Put the operation mode in OFF after placing the selector lever in the “P” (PARK) posi-tion.
