GENERAL INFORMATION
1–11
Used engine oils safety
instructions
EB12A-B
WARNING
(1) Prolonged and repeated contact
may cause serious skin disorders,
including dermatitis and cancer.
(2) Avoid contact with the skin as far
as possible and wash thoroughly
after any contact.
(3) Keep used engine oils out of reach
of children.
Protect the environment
It is illegal to pollute drains, water courses
and soil. Use authorized waste collection fa-
cilities, including civic amenity sites and ga-
rages providing facilities for disposal of used
oil and used oil filters. If in doubt, contact your
local authority for advice on disposal.
Driving and alcoholEB25A-Aa
Driving under the influence of alcohol is one
of the most frequent causes of accidents.
Your driving ability can even be seriously im-
paired with blood alcohol levels below the le-
gal maximum. If you are drinking, don’t drive.
Ride with a designated non-drinking driver,
call a cab, a friend, or use public transporta-
tion.
WARNING
Driving after drinking can lead to an
accident. Your perceptions are less
sharp, your reflexes are slower, and
your judgement is impaired when you
have been drinking.
NEVER DRINK AND THEN DRIVE.
Safe driving techniquesEB26A-Di
Driving safety and protection against injury
cannot be fully ensured. However, we rec-
ommend that you pay extra attention to the
following:
(1) Before starting the vehicle, make sure
that you and your passengers have fas-
tened your seat belts.
(2) Never leave your vehicle unattended
with the key in the ignition and children
inside the vehicle. Children may play
with the driving controls and this could
lead to an accident.
(3) Make sure that infants and small
children are properly restrained in ac-
cordance with the laws and regulations,
and for maximum protection in case of
an accident.
(4) Switch off the engine if you stop for a
short sleep. If the engine is left running
while you sleep, unexpected vehicle
operation or other accidents may be
caused by unconsciously moving the
shift lever (selector lever on automatic
transmission vehicles) or pressing the
accelerator pedal. If you inadvertently
keep the accelerator pedal pressed, the
engine may overheat or the engine, ex-
haust pipe, etc. may be abnormally
overheated, resulting in an accidental
fire. If poorly ventilated, there is a risk of
poisoning by exhaust gases.

KeysEF21A - Gb
Two keys are provided and they fit all locks.
Keep one in a safe place as a spare key.
To h e l p prevent theft, your keys feature a
unique, hard - to - duplicate design. Also, your
vehicle’s locks are designed to prevent
opening by any means other than using your
own key.Ta k e care not to lose your keys or lock them
inside your vehicle.
To prevent your key number becoming
known to others, it is stamped on removable
key number tag rather than on the key itself.
Keep your key number tag in a safe place,
separate from your keys.
NOTE
(1) Replacement keys for your vehicle can
be made only by an authorized MITSU-
BISHI dealer. Give the dealer your key
number in the event that the original
keys are lost.
(2) The engine is designed so that it will not
turn over if the ID code registered in the
immobilizer computer and the key’s ID
code do not match. Refer to the section
entitled “Electronic immobilizer” for de-
tails and key usage.
(3) Keys should never be placed in areas
which contain magnetic or metal objects
as this may interfere with the transpon-
der.
Electronic immobilizer
(Anti-theft starting system)
EF11C-Vd
The electronic immobilizer is designed to re-
duce significantly the possibility of vehicle
theft. The purpose of the system is to im-
mobilize the vehicule if an invalid start is at-
tempted. A valid start attempt can only be
achieved (subject to certain conditions),
using a key “registered” to the immobilizer
system.

NOTE
(1)In the following cases the vehicle may
not be able to receive the registered ID
code from the key. This means the en-
gine will not start even when the regis-
tered key is turned to the “START”
position.

When the key contacts a key ring
or other metallic or magnetic object
(Type A)

of another key (Type B)

immobilizing key, or some other
transponder (Type C)
In cases like these, remove the object
or additional key from the vehicle key
and turn the key back to the “ACC” or
“LOCK” position. Then try again to
start the engine.

authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.

cutter etc. since there is a transponder
inside the key.(3) Two keys are provided.
If you lose one of them, order a key from
your authorized MITSUBISHI dealer as
soon as possible.
To o b t a i n a key, take your vehicle and
any remaining keys to your authorized
MITSUBISHI dealer.
If you need an extra spare key, take
your vehicle and ALL the keys to your
authorized MITSUBISHI dealer. Be-
cause all the keys have to be re-regis-
tered in the immobilizer computer unit.
The immobilizer allows up to 8 different
ID codes to be registered; you can pos-
sess a maximum of 8 keys.
CAUTION
Don’t make any alterations or addi-
tions to the immobilizer system; any
alterations or additions could cause
