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 con-
ditioning blower and rear window defogger, are turned
off.
2. While depressing the brake pedal {continuously variable
transmission (CVT)} or the clutch pedal (manual tran-
saxle), press the accelerator 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 (CVT) or the clutch pedal (manual transaxle),
push the accelerator pedal all the way down and hold it
there, then crank the engine for 5 to 6 seconds. Return the
ignition switch to the “OFF” position and release the
accelerator pedal. Wait a few seconds, and then crank the
engine again for 5 to 6 seconds while depressing the brake
pedal (CVT) or the clutch pedal (manual transaxle), but
do not push the accelerator 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 Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice for assistance.
