Look at this . . .
1) FAST-Key (if equipped) - with FAST-Key, you do not need to use the key to open the door or start the car. You can leave the key in your pocket or
purse.
LOCK the doors and tailgate by pressing either the lock button on the key fob or pressing the black button to the right of the door handle or under
the liftgate handle.
UNLOCK the doors by pressing either the unlock button on the key fob or by pressing the black button to the right of the door handle. Listen for the
beep and then open the door.
UNLOCK TAILGATE by grasping the liftgate handle.
FAST-Key Tip:
In the event the key fob loses power, remove the emergency key from the fob, turn it around and insert the head of the key into the slot in the fob
and use it as a traditional key to unlock the doors and start the car. It is not a valet key. If you leave the FAST-Key in the vehicle and try to lock the
doors, you will hear a series of beeps.
2) Seatbelts – in order to help with securing child safety seats and other cargo, Mitsubishi’s seat belts have an Auto Locking Restraint (ALR) system.
When the seat belt is pulled all the way out, it engages the ALR which restricts it from pulling out. To release the ALR, simply allow the seat belt to
retract to its original position.
3) Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) – illuminates a warning light when your tire pressure is too low. Please note that changes in the outside
temperature may decrease tire pressure causing the TPMS light to turn on. If the TPMS light stays illuminated, check your tire pressure. For more
information on TPMS, refer to your Owner’s Manual.
4) Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) – 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.

11
5) Windshield Wiper Lever - the wiper control lever is located on the right hand side of the steering column.
• Push the wiper lever down:
o One position to INT for intermittent wiping
Vehicles equipped with Rain Sensing Wipers will display AUTO rather than INT. When selected and moisture is
detected on the windshield, the wipers will automatically make a swipe across the glass.
o Two positions for LOW wiping speed
o Three positions for HIGH speed
• Pull the lever towards you to dispense windshield washer fluid and wipers will automatically make several passes across the windshield
• Push the lever up to have the wipers complete a single pass
6) Rear Windshield Wiper Knob (if equipped) – the wiper control knob is located on the right hand side of the wiper control lever. The Rear Window
Wiper/Washer is activated using the outer knob of the windshield wiper controls.
• Twist the wiper knob clockwise:
o ONE position down to INT for intermittent wiping
o TWO positions down to ON for normal speed
o Push the end of the lever towards the steering column to spray the rear glass
7) Brembo Brakes (Lancer Evolution only) – the Brembo brakes supplied on the Lancer Evolution are designed for high performance stopping power.
Brake noise in this type of performance vehicle is common. Make sure to stay on regularly scheduled maintenance to keep your brakes and your
vehicle operating at their peak performance.
8) Tires (Lancer Evolution only) – the tires on the Lancer Evolution are performance tires designed to grip the road surface tightly to
maximize performance. This may cause the tires to wear quicker than regular tires. Make sure to rotate and inspect your tires regularly
according to your vehicle’s schedule maintenance plan.
Shown with rain sensing
feature if equipped, otherwise
AUTO = intermittent feature.

three times.
3) You can actually set your power doors lock function to unlock automatically when the shift lever is moved into the “P” position.
4) If equipped, the Navigation System includes Real-Time Trac (RTT). This system shows trac conditions on your navigation screen, yellow for
slowing and red for stop and go trac. Real-Time Trac is free for the life of your Lancer if purchased with a Navigation System.
