Customer key programming (Except for vehicles
sold in Canada)
N00562200070
You can program new keys to the system if you have two valid
(already registered) keys and blank (not registered) immobi-
lizer key (specially cut for your vehicle at your Mitsubishi
Motors dealer) by doing the following:
1. Insert the first valid key into the ignition switch and turn
the key to the “ON” position for 5 seconds.
2. Turn the key to the “LOCK” position and remove the first
key.
3. Within 30 seconds of turning the first key to the “LOCK”
position, insert the second valid key into the ignition and
turn it to the “ON” position. About 10 seconds later, the
immobilizer display will start to blink.4. When the immobilizer display starts blinking, turn the
second valid key to the “LOCK” position and remove it.
Within 30 seconds after doing so, insert a blank immobi-
lizer key into the ignition switch and turn it to the “ON”
position. Perform this operation no more than 30 seconds
after the immobilizer display starts blinking. When regis-
tration of the ID code is complete, the immobilizer display
will come on for 3 seconds then go off. If an error occurs,
the immobilizer display will go off during the procedure.
5. If you wish to register another key, perform the process
again from step 1.

NOTE

Perform the operation when the interrupt display screen is
not showing. The interrupt display screen may prevent
you from seeing the immobilizer display.


It is not possible to register a key if:
 the immobilizer display goes off during the procedure
 the immobilizer display does not come on within 30 sec-
onds after turning the ignition switch to the “ON” posi-
tion with a blank immobilizer key


The procedure will be terminated automatically if:
 a period of 30 seconds or longer elapses from the
moment when the first key is turned to the “LOCK”
position to the moment when the second key is turned to
the “ON” position
 a period of 30 seconds or longer elapses from the
moment when the second key is turned to the “LOCK”
position to the moment when the blank immobilizer key
is turned to the “ON” position


To use the new remote control transmitters, it is necessary
to register the key with both the electronic immobilizer
and keyless entry system.
Also refer to “Keyless entry system: Customer remote
control transmitter programming” on page 3-13.

F.A.S.T.-key take-out monitoring system
N00559800085
When the ignition switch is in a position other than “LOCK
(PUSH OFF)”, and a door is opened and the F.A.S.T.-key is
removed from the passenger compartment so that the ID codes
of the F.A.S.T.-key and the vehicle can no longer be verified,
the warning display is displayed and the buzzer sounds 4 times
as a warning.NOTE

The F.A.S.T.-key take-out monitoring system does not
function if the F.A.S.T.-key is removed through a window
without opening a door. This setting can be changed.
See an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer for details.

operating range for starting the engine. The surrounding
environment or electromagnetic waves may make it
impossible to verify the ID codes of the F.A.S.T.-key and
vehicle.

Tips for starting

Do not operate the starter motor for longer than 15 sec-
onds as this could run the battery down or damage the
starter motor. If the engine does not start, turn the ignition
switch back to the “LOCK” position, wait a few seconds,
and then try again. Trying repeatedly with the engine or
starter motor still turning will damage the starter mecha-
nism.


If the engine will not start because the battery is weak or
discharged, refer to “Jump-starting the engine” on page 6-
2 for instructions.


A longer warm up period will only consume extra fuel.
The engine is warmed up enough for driving when the bar
graph of the engine coolant temperature display starts to
move. Refer to “Interrupt display screen (With ignition
switch in the “ON” position)” on page 3-165.


On vehicles equipped with the Twin Clutch SST, the fol-
lowing may occur after the engine is started, but they do
not indicate an abnormality.
 You may hear operational sounds of the Twin Clutch
SST and you may feel vibration in the vehicle body.
 If you shift the gearshift lever into the “N” (NEUTRAL)
position and depress the accelerator pedal, increases in
the engine speed will be limited.
WA R N I N G
!

Never run the engine in a closed or poorly ventilated
area any longer than is needed to move your vehicle
out of the area. Carbon monoxide gas, which is
odorless and extremely poisonous, could build up
and cause serious injury or death.CAUTION
!

Do not push-start the vehicle.


Do not run the engine at high rpms or drive at high
speeds until the engine has had a chance to warm
up.


Release the ignition switch as soon as the engine
starts. Otherwise, the starter motor will be dam-
aged.

Starting the engineYour vehicle is equipped with an electronically controlled fuel
injection system. This is a system that automatically controls
fuel injection. There is usually no need to depress the accelera-
tor pedal when starting the engine.
The starter motor should not be run for more than 15 seconds at
a time.
To prevent battery drain, wait a few seconds between attempts
to restart the engine.
Normal conditions
To start your vehicle:
Make sure all occupants are properly seated with seat belts fas-
tened.
1. Press and hold the brake pedal down with your right foot.
2. Press and hold the clutch pedal all the way down (manual
transaxle).NOTE

For models equipped with a manual transaxle, the starter
will not operate unless the clutch pedal is fully depressed
(Clutch interlock). This is a safety feature.3. On vehicles with manual transaxle, place the gearshift
lever in the “N” (Neutral) position.
On vehicles with Twin Clutch SST, make sure the gear-
shift lever is in the “P” (PARK) position.
NOTE

On vehicles with Twin Clutch SST, the starter will not
operate unless the gearshift lever is in the “P” (PARK)
position or the gearshift lever is in the “N” (NEUTRAL)
position with the brake pedal depressed.
For safety reasons, start the engine in the “P” (PARK)
position so that the wheels are locked.
4. While pushing the ignition switch from “LOCK” (PUSH
OFF) to “LOCK” (PUSH ON), set the ignition switch to
the “ON” position and confirm that all warning lights and
warning displays are operating properly.
5. Without pressing the accelerator pedal, slowly turn the
ignition switch to the “START” position to start the
engine. Release the ignition switch when the engine starts.
NOTE

Minor noises may be heard on engine start-up. These will
disappear as the engine warms up.
At extremely cold ambient temperature
If the engine won’t start, press the accelerator pedal about half-
way down while cranking the engine. Release the accelerator
pedal when the engine starts.

Do not operate the starter motor continuously for longer
than 15 seconds as this could run the battery down or
damage the starter motor. If the engine does not start, turn
the emergency key back to the “LOCK” position, wait a
few seconds, and then try again. Trying repeatedly with
the engine or starter motor still turning will damage the
starter mechanism.

discharged, refer to “Jump-starting the engine” on page 6-
2 for instructions.
