E00305600470
The

keyless operation system allows you to lock
and unlock the doors and tailgate, start the engine
and change the operation mode simply by carrying
the keyless operation key with you.
The keyless operation key can also be used as the
keyless entry system remote control switch.
Refer to “Keyless operation system: Keyless entry
system” on page 1-18.

The driver should always carry the keyless opera-
tion key. This key is necessary for locking and un-
locking the doors and tailgate, starting the engine
and otherwise operating the vehicle, so before lock-
ing and leaving the vehicle, be sure to check that
you have the keyless operation key. WARNING
l People
with implantable cardiac pacemak-
ers or implantable cardiovascular-defib-
rillators should not go near the exterior
transmitters (A) or the interior transmit-
ters (B). The radio waves used by the key-
less operation system could adversely af-
fect implantable cardiac pacemakers or
implantable cardiovascular-defibrillators. WARNING
l When using electro-medical devices other
than implantable cardiac pacemakers or
implantable cardiovascular-defibrilla-
tors, contact the electromedical device
manufacturer ahead of time to determine
the affects of radio waves on the devices.
Electromedical device operations could
be affected by radio waves.
You can limit the possible operations of the
keyless
operation system in the following
ways. (The keyless operation system can be
used as a keyless entry system.) Consult a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point. • You can limit operations to locking andunlocking the doors and tailgate. Locking and unlocking

Electronic immobilizer (Anti-theft
starting system) E00306400387
The electronic immobilizer has been designed to sig-
nificantly

reduce the possibility of vehicle theft.
The purpose of the system is to immobilize the ve-
hicle if an invalid start is attempted. A valid start
attempt can only be achieved (subject to certain con-
ditions) using a keyless operation system “regis-
tered” to the immobilizer system.
All of the keys provided with your new vehicle
have been programmed into the vehicle’s electron-
ics. Refer to “Engine switch” on page 1-11. NOTE
l If

you lose one of the keyless operation keys,
contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point as soon as possible.
To obtain a replacement or extra spare key,
take your vehicle and all remaining keys to
your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point. All the keys have to be re-reg-
istered in the immobilizer computer unit.
The immobilizer can register up to 4 differ-
ent keys.
Engine switch E00306500548
In order to prevent theft, the engine will not start un-
less

ation mode in ON or ACC for a long time
when the engine is not running may cause
the battery to be discharged, making it im-
possible to start the engine, lock and un-
lock the steering wheel.
l When the battery is disconnected, the cur-
rent operation mode is memorized. After
reconnecting the battery, the memorized
mode is selected automatically. Before dis-
connecting the battery for repair or re-
placement, make sure to put the opera-
tion mode in OFF.
Be careful if you are not sure which oper-
ation mode the vehicle is in when the bat-
tery is run down.

Security alarm system*
E00301500569
The
security alarm system is for alerting the sur-
rounding area of suspicious behaviour to prevent un-
lawful entry into the vehicle by operating an alarm
if a door, the tailgate or the bonnet is opened when
the vehicle has not been unlocked using the keyless
entry system or the keyless operation function.
Also, the alarm will be activated if any of the fol-
lowing occur.
l Attempt an unlawful moving of the vehicle.
(the vehicle inclination detection function)
l Detect a motion in the vehicle. (the interior
intrusion detection function)
l Disconnect the battery terminal.
The security alarm system is set to “active”.
When making changes to the settings, please fol-
low the procedure listed in the section titled “Chang-
ing the security alarm settings” on page 1-29.
On vehicles equipped with MITSUBISHI Multi-
Communication System (MMCS), screen opera-
tions can be used to make the adjustment. Refer to
the separate owner’s manual for details. CAUTION
l
Do
not modify or add parts to the securi-
ty alarm system.
Doing so could cause the security alarm
to malfunction. NOTE
l The

alarm system will not be activated if the
doors and the tailgate have been locked using
a key, the inside lock knob or the central
door lock switch (instead of the keyless entry
system or the keyless operation function).
l If the turn-signal lamps do not blink after the
locking and unlocking operation using the
keyless entry system or the keyless operation
function, the security alarm system may be
malfunctioning.
Have the vehicle inspected at a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point.
If the confirmation function (blinking of the
turn-signal lamps by locking and unlocking
the doors and the tailgate) is deactivated, the
turn-signal lamps do not blink after the lock-
ing and unlocking operation.
For information on the confirmation func-
tion, refer to “Keyless entry system” on pa-
ges 1-04, 1-18 and “To operate using the key-
less operation function” on page 1-09.
l The security alarm system could be activated
in the following situations.
• Using a car wash
• Taking the vehicle on a ferry
• Parking in an automated car park
• Leaving someone or a pet in the vehicle
• Leaving a window open
• Leaving an unstable object such as a stuf-fed toy or accessory in the vehicle
• Suffering a continuous impact or vibra- tion by hail, thunder, etc.
According to the situations, deactivate the ve-
hicle inclination detection function and the in-
terior intrusion detection function. Refer to “To
deactivate the vehicle inclina-
tion detection function and the interior intru-
sion detection function” on page 1-31.
l The sensitivity of the interior intrusion detec-
tion function can be adjusted. For details,

thorized Service Point.
The security alarm has four modes:
System preparation mode (approx. 20 seconds)
(The buzzer sounds intermittently and the security
indicator (A) blinks.) The system preparation time extends from the
point

at which all of the doors and the tailgate are
locked by pressing the LOCK switch on the remote
control switch or the keyless operation function to
the point at which the system armed mode goes in-
to effect.
During this time, it is possible to temporarily open
a door or the tailgate without using the keyless en-
try system or the keyless operation function and
without causing the alarm to sound (for example,
when you forget something inside the vehicle or re-
alize that a window is open). Locking and unlocking

System armed mode
(The
security indicator continues to blink with the
indicator’s reduced lit-up duration time.)
Once the system preparation mode has ended, the
system armed mode starts.
If an unlawful opening of any of the doors, tailgate
or bonnet is detected during the system armed
mode, the alarm will be activated to warn people
around the vehicle of an abnormal condition.
Also, if unlawful moving of the vehicle is attemp-
ted or a vehicle intrusion is detected, the alarm will
be activated.
Alarm activation
The turn-signal lamps blink and the siren sounds
for approximately 30 seconds.
Refer to “Alarm activation” on page 1-32.
NOTE
l The alarm will resume if unlawful actions
are taken again, even if the alarm has stopped.
System cancellation
It is possible to cancel the system activation during
the system preparation mode or the system armed
mode.
In addition, it is possible to cancel the alarm once it
has been activated.
Refer to “Cancelling the system” on page 1-32,
“Cancelling the alarm” on page 1-33. NOTE
l When
lending the vehicle to another person
or allowing the vehicle to be driven by some-
one who is unfamiliar with the security
alarm system, be sure to give the person a
proper explanation of the security alarm sys-
tem.
If a person who is unfamiliar with the securi-
ty alarm system accidentally unlocked the ve-
hicle, causing the alarm to sound, the alarm
would be a nuisance to people nearby.
Changing the security alarm settings E00301600267
It is possible to set the security alarm to the “ac-
tive” mode or “inactive” mode.
Follow the procedure below.
1. Except

eration mode in OFF.
2. Place the lamp switch in the “OFF” position, and leave the driver’s door open. 3. Pull
the windscreen wiper and washer switch
towards you and hold it there. (Since the igni-
tion switch is in the “LOCK” position or the

not be sprayed.) 4. After
approximately 10 seconds, the buzzer
will make a sound. Keep the windscreen wip-
er and washer switch pulled towards you. (If
the windscreen wiper and washer switch was
released, the setting change mode would be
