With an electronic immobilizer
(Type 2)
3 - Master key (Black)
4 - Sub key (Grey)*
Two master keys are provided. They fit all
locks. Keep one in a safe place as a spare
key.
One sub key is provided (for some mo-
dels). It fits all locks except for the glove
box.NOTE
(1) The key number is stamped on the
tag as indicated in the illustration.
Make a record of the key number and
store the key and key number tag
in separate places, so that you can
order a key from your authorized
MITSUBISHI dealer in the event the
original keys are lost.
(2) If your vehicle is equipped with an
electronic immobilizer, the engine is
designed so that it will not start if the
ID code registered in the immobilizer
computer and the key’s ID code do
not match. Refer to the section en-
titled “Electronic Immobilizer” for
details and key usage.
(3) Keys should never be placed in areas
which contain magnetic or metal ob-
jects as this may interfere with the
transponder.
Electronic immobilizer
(Anti-theft starting system)*
EF11CPD
The electronic immobilizer is designed to
reduce significantly the possibility of vehi-
cle theft. The purpose of the system is to
immobilize the vehicle if an invalid start is
attempted. A valid start attempt can only
be achieved (subject to certain condi-
tions), using a key “registered” to the im-
mobilizer system.

LOCKING AND UNLOCKING
(3) If you lose your keys, order a key from
your authorized MITSUBISHI dealer
as soon as possible.
To obtain a key, take your vehicle and
any remaining key to your authorized
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 immobilizer allows up to 8 differ-
ent ID codes to be registered; you can
possess a maximum of 8 keys.
CAUTIONDo not make any alterations or addi-
tions to the immobilizer system, al-
terations or additions could cause
failure of the immobilizer.
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
registered 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 im-
mobilizing key, or some other
transponder (Type C)
In cases like these, remove the above
object from the 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 transponder
inside the key
.

STARTING AND DRIVING
5-10
NOTE
(1) To remove the key, push in the key at
the “ACC” position and keep it de-
pressed until it is turned to the
“LOCK” position and remove it.(2) If your vehicle is equipped with igni-
tion switch illumination, the ignition
switch illumination comes on while
the driver’s door is opened and
remains on for approximately 15 sec-
onds (with keyless entry system,
approximately 30 seconds) after the
driver’s door is closed.
However, it will go off even before a
lapse of 15 seconds (with keyless
entry system, approximately 30 sec-
onds) if the ignition switch is set to the
“ON” position.
[Vehicle with keyless entry system]
When you get out of the vehicle and
remove the ignition key, it will be illu-
minated for about 30 seconds.
(3) If your vehicle is equipped with an elec-
tronic immobilizer, to start the engine,
the ID code which the transponder
inside the key sends must match the
one registered in the immobilizer com-
puter. (Refer to page 2-2.)
(4) If your vehicle is equipped with the
Daytime Running Light, when the
ignition switch is “ON”, the headlamp
low beams etc. are turned on. Refer
to “Headlamps”.
CAUTION(1) Do not remove the ignition key
from the ignition switch while
driving. The steering wheel will
be locked, causing loss of con-
trol.
(2) If the engine is stopped while
driving, the brake servomech-
anism will cease to function and
braking efficiency will deteri-
orate. Also, for vehicles with
power steering, the power steer-
ing system will not function and
it will require greater manual ef-
fort to operate the steering.
(3) Never coast downhill with the
engine OFF. Keep the engine
running whenever the vehicle is
in motion.
(4) Do not leave the key in the “ON”
position for a long time when the
engine is not running; doing so
will cause the battery to be dis-
charged.
(5) Do not turn the key to the
“START” position when the en-
gine is running; doing so could
damage the starter motor.
