NOTE
Minor noises may be heard on engine start-
up. These will disappear as the engine warms
up.
WARNING
Make sure to remove the F.A.S.T.-key

started.
If not removed, the F.A.S.T.-key could fall
to the floor, which could disturb the pedal

could prevent the driver's knee airbag
from inflating normally or could be pro-
pelled to cause serious injury if the airbag
inflates.

Features and controls
NOTE
If the emergency key is attached to a key
ring, it may become impossible to insert the
F.A.S.T.-key into the emergency key, and it
may prevent the engine from being started.
When using the emergency key to start the
engine, first remove the key from the key
ring.
When the engine is hard to start
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 rear
window defogger, are turned off.
2. While depressing the brake pedal on vehi-
cles equipped with Twin Clutch SST or
the clutch pedal on the vehicles equipped
with manual transaxle, press the accelera-
tor pedal halfway and hold it there, then
crank the engine. Release the accelerator
pedal, immediately after the engine starts.
3. If the engine still will not start, the engine
could be flooded with too much gasoline.
While depressing the brake pedal on vehi-
cles equipped with Twin Clutch SST or
the clutch pedal on the vehicles equipped
with manual transaxle, push the accelera-
tor pedal all the way down and hold it
there, then crank the engine for 5 to 6 sec-
onds. Return the ignition switch to the
"LOCK" position and release the acceler-
ator pedal. Wait a few seconds, and then
crank the engine again for 5 to 6 seconds
while depressing the brake pedal or the
clutch pedal, but do not push the accelera-
tor pedal. Release the ignition key if the
engine starts. If the engine fails to start,
repeat these procedures. If the engine still
will not start, contact your local Mitsubi-
shi Motors dealer or a repair facility of
your choice for assistance.

30 °C) or lower
When the ambient temperature is -22 °F (-30
°C) or lower, it may not be possible to start
