Tips for starting
Except for vehicles equipped with the keyless operation sys- tem
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 speeds or drive
the vehicle at high speeds until the engine
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.
z If your vehicle is equipped with a turbo-
charger, do not stop the engine immediately
after high-speed or uphill driving. First al-
low the engine to idle to give the turbocharg-
er a chance to cool down.
For vehicles equipped with the
keyless operation system

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.NOTEz 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) position.
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

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 isnot operating properly
Insert the keyless operation key into the key
slot. Starting the engine and changing the op- eration mode should now be possible.
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 outer buzzer sounds
for approximately 3 seconds, and the inner buzzer sounds for approximately 1 minute,
and the warning display appears for approxi- mately 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.

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 from
usual while the DPF automatically burns
away trapped PM. The change in the engine
sound does not indicate a fault.
DPF warning lamp/warning
display
Warning lamp (mono-colour liquid crystal dis- play)Warning display (colour liquid crystal display)
The DPF warning lamp comes on or warning
display will appear in the event of an abnor- mality in the DPF system.
If the DPF warning indicator/
warning display appears dur- ing vehicle operation
Steady illumination of the DPF warning indi-
cator/warning display shows that the DPF has
not been able to burn away all of the trapped PM and that, as a result, an excessive amount
of PM has accumulated inside it. To enable the DPF to burn away the PM, try to drive thevehicle as follows:
z With the bar graph of engine coolant
temperature display stabilized in roughly
the middle of the scale, drive for approx- imately 20 minutes (4N15) or 30 mi-
nutes (4N14) at a speed of at least 40 km/h (25 mph).

If the DPF warning indicator/warning display 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 and

Urea SCR system warningWarning lampWarning display
If there is a malfunction in the system, awarning display will appear on the informa-
tion screen in the multi-information display according to the situation. At the same time,
the
warning lamp in the meter will flash.
If a warning display appears, have your vehi- cle inspected by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point as soon as possible.
CAUT,ONz If the urea SCR system warning lamp comes
on and the warning display appears, the ve-
hicle can travel approximately 600 km
(400 miles) before the engine cannot be re- started after it is stopped.NOTEz If there is a malfunction in the system, the
check engine warning lamp may come on at
the same time.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
The turbocharger increases engine power by
pushing 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.
