Q: How do I use Bluetooth®Audio (if equipped)?
A: Turn the Audio System power on. Press the CD button several times until B (Bluetooth®) is shown. Connect your Bluetooth®device
via pairing mode. Playback will start automatically.
Q: How do I transfer calls from Bluetooth®back to my mobile phone’s handset?
A: While on the call, press the speech button on your steering wheel and, once prompted, say “Transfer Call.”
Q: Why does the FUSE Hands-free Link System™take so long to upload my music from my audio music device?
A: The Mitsubishi system can read multiple device structures in order to catalog the music files for easy playing and listening.
Depending on the amount of music you have on your device, this may take a few minutes.
Q: What are the dierent ways of playing music from my portable music player through the stereo system in my vehicle, when
equipped with the FUSE Hands-free Link System™?
A: There are three ways of playing music through your vehicle’s sound system.
 • USBport-TheFUSEsystemwillndthesongsinyourdeviceandcategorizethemaccordingtoArtist,Album,andGenre.Then
you can have the FUSE system find and play the song in your device that you prefer without physically searching your device.
This is done via voice commands.
 • Bluetooth®Streaming - Once your device is paired to the FUSE system, you can stream music from your device through the
FUSE system to your vehicles sound system. No wires or cords. Your music stops and restarts at the same song when you exit
and when you re-enter the vehicle. Voice commands are not available.

RCA to mini headphone jack adapter cable will be needed) Voice command is not available.
Q: Why can’t I control the music track selection via voice commands while Bluetooth®streaming?
A: The Mitsubishi system uses AVRCP 1.3 (Audio Video Programing System) which does not support this function.
Q: My Lancer is equipped with “Micron Air Filtration”. Where is the filter located and does it need servicing?
A: The micron air filter is a small filter element which is located in the HVAC box just behind the glove box.
The filter should be inspected frequently for debris. The filter works well at filtering incoming air however the filter
will clog and lead to reduced outlet air volume if not serviced on a regular basis.

13
Q: My Lancer has two 12V accessory outlets. What devices can be plugged into these outlets?
A: Both of these outlets are protected with 15 amp fuses. (The DE Model only has one 12V accessory outlet.) Always check the current
draw rating of any device prior to use in the vehicle. If the device is rated above 12 amps, this could lead to circuit overload and the
electricalfuseopening(nocurrentow).
Q: I only have one remote for the remote start system on my Lancer. Can I get a second one?
A: No. Only one remote can be programmed per vehicle for security reasons.
Q: How can I get the MPG stated on the window sticker?
A: VehicledrivingstyleswillgreatlyaectMPG.Avoidsuddenabruptstartsfromastopandletthevehiclecoasttothetraclight.

Q: How does the Navigation System choose a certain route?
A: The system takes into account trac conditions, road types, distance and road width to recommend the route.
Q: Why does my Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) make a noise?
A: Each time your vehicle is started and driven a short distance, you will hear the sound of the ABS motor operating from the right front
engine compartment. This is the normal sound the Anti-Lock Braking System makes when performing a self check.
Q: Why do my Rain Sensing Windshield Wipers operate on their own when it’s not raining?

Q: Why does my check engine light come on after I put gas in my car?
A: There are many reasons why your check engine light may illuminate. Before calling your dealership, make sure the
fuel cap is fully engaged and you have heard three clicks when tightening it. After checking and hearing three clicks and
driving for a while, if the light is still on, contact your dealership.
Q: How do I use the emergency key when the F.A.S.T. key battery or vehicle battery is run down?
A: Remove the emergency key from the F.A.S.T key fob and manually unlock the door. Once inside the vehicle remove the
ignition switch cover by pressing the release buttons on the top and bottom of the ignition switch cover. Once the
ignition switch cover is removed insert the emergency key into the ignition switch then re-insert (backwards) the
F.A.S.T. key fob onto the emergency key. Once the F.A.S.T. key fob is re-inserted (backwards) turn the emergency
key to start the engine.
