NOTE
(1) In the following cases, the vehicle may
not be able to receive the registered ID
code from the key. This means the
engine will not start even when the reg-
istered key is turned to the“START”
position.
•When the key contacts a key ring or
other metallic or magnetic object
(Type A)
•When the key grip contacts metal of
another key (Type B)
•When the key contacts another
immobilizing key, or some other tran-
sponder (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.
If the engine does not start, consult an
authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.
(2) Be careful not to damage the key with
a cutter etc. since there is a transpon-
der inside the key.(3) Three keys are provided.
If you lose one of them, order a key
from your authorized MITSUBISHI
dealer as soon as possible.
To obtain a key, take your vehicle and
any remaining keys to your autho-
rized MITSUBISHI dealer.
If you need an extra spare key, take
your vehicle and ALL the keys to your
authorized MITSUBISHI dealer. All the
keys have to be re-registered in the
immobilizer computer unit. The immo-
bilizer allows up to 8 different ID codes
to be registered; you can possess a
maximum of 8 keys.
CAUTION

tions to the immobilizer system; alter-
ations or additions could cause
failure of the immobilizer.
