NOTEThe key number (A) is stamped on the key number plate
as shown in the illustration.
Make a record of the key number and store the key and
key number plate in separate places, so that you can order
a key from your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer if
the original keys are lost.
The key is a precision electronic device with a built-in sig-
nal transmitter. Please observe the following in order to
prevent damage.
• Do not leave where it may be exposed to heat caused by
direct sunlight, such as on top of the dashboard.
• Do not take the remote control transmitter apart.
• Do not excessively bend the key or subject it to strong
impacts.
• Keep the remote control transmitter dry.
• Keep away from magnetic objects such as key holders.
• Keep away from devices that produce magnetism, such
as audio systems, computers and televisions.
• Do not clean with ultrasonic cleaners.
• Do not leave the key where it may be exposed to high
temperature or high humidity.
As your vehicle is equipped with an electronic immobi-
lizer, 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 entitled
“Electronic immobilizer” for details and key usage.
Electronic immobilizer (Anti-theft starting
system)
N00509100618
The electronic immobilizer is designed to significantly reduce
the possibility of vehicle 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 immobilizer system.
All of the keys provided with your new vehicle have been pro-
grammed to the vehicle’s electronics.
