NOTE

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 rings.
 Keep away from devices that produce magnetism, such
as audio systems, computers and televisions.
 Keep away from devices that emit strong electromag-
netic waves, such as cellular phones and wireless
devices.
 Do not clean with ultrasonic cleaners.
 Do not leave the key where it may be exposed to high
temperature or high humidity.


If you lose your key, to prevent the theft of the vehicle
immediately contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer.
If you notify an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer of
the key number, they can make a new key. The key num-
ber is stamped on the key number plate. Keep the key
number plate in a safe place separate from the key itself.


No keys other than those registered in advance can be
used to start the engine.
Refer to “Electronic immobilizer (Anti-theft starting sys-
tem)” on page 3-5.
Refer to “Free-hand Advanced Security Transmitter
(F.A.S.T.-key): “Electronic immobilizer (Anti-theft start-
ing system)” on page 3-24.


Be careful of the following if the theft-alarm is set to
“Activate”.
Refer to “Theft-alarm system” on page 3-66.
 When the theft-alarm is in the system operational status,
the alarm operates if a door or tailgate is opened after
using the key, the door lock knob or the power door lock
switch to unlock the vehicle.
 Even if the theft-alarm is set to “Activate”, the system
does not enter the preparation status if the keyless entry
system or the F.A.S.T.-key was not used to lock the
vehicle.

[For vehicles equipped with the Free-hand Advanced Security
Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key)]
For information on operations for vehicles equipped with the
Free-hand Advanced Security Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key), refer
to “Free-hand Advanced Security Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key):
Electronic immobilizer (Anti-theft starting system)” on page 3-
24.
[Except for vehicles equipped with the Free-hand Advanced
Security Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key)]
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.
NOTE

In the following cases, the vehicle may not be able to rec-
ognize the registered ID code from the key. This means
the engine will not start even when the 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 or is close to other immobilizer
keys (including keys of other vehicles) (Type C)


In cases like the above, move the offending object(s) away
from the key and turn the key back to the “ACC” or
“LOCK” position. Then try to start the engine again. If the
engine does not start, contact an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer.

external transmitter, the F.A.S.T.-key could function and
unlock the doors and the tailgate when a door handle is
exposed to a large amount of water, such as when washing
the vehicle or during heavy rain. If this happens, the vehi-
cle re-locks automatically after about 30 seconds.
The amount of time after unlocking until the vehicle re-
locks automatically can be adjusted. See an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer for details.
On a vehicle equipped with a Mitsubishi Multi-Communi-
cation System, the functions can be adjusted on the
screen. For details, refer to the separate operation manual.

switch.
Starting
N00514600145
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 engine coolant tempareture display starts to
move. Refer to “Interrupt display screen (When the igni-
tion switch is in the “ON” position)” on page 3-174.
CAUTION
!

Carry the key with you when leaving the vehicle.


If your vehicle needs to be towed, turn the ignition
switch to the “ACC” position to unlock the steering
wheel.
