Mitsubishi MOTORS Eclipse Cross 2018, Owner'S Manual, Page: 185 / 538

On vehicles equipped with CVT, when re-
moving the key, first set the selector lever to
the “P” (PARK) position, and push the key in
at the “ACC” position and keep it depressed
until it is turned to the “LOCK” position, and
remove it.
CAUTION
l Do not remove the ignition key from the ig-
nition switch while driving. The steering
wheel will be locked, causing loss of con-
trol.
l 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.
CAUTION
l
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.
l
Do not turn the key to the “START” position
while the engine is running. Doing so could
damage the starter motor.
Engine switch*
In order to prevent theft, the engine will not
start unless a preregistered keyless operation
key is used. (Engine immobilizer function)
If you are carrying the keyless operation key,
you can start the engine.
CAUTION
l
The indication lamp (A) will flash orange
when there is a problem or malfunction in
the keyless operation system. Never drive if
the indication lamp on the engine switch is
flashing orange. Immediately contact a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.
l If the engine switch operation is not smooth
and feels like it is sticking, do not operate
the
switch. Immediately contact a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.
NOTE
l When operating the engine switch, press the
switch all the way in. If the switch is not
fully pressed, the engine may not start or the
operation mode may not change. If the en-
gine switch is pressed correctly, there is no
need to hold the engine switch down.
