Keys
E00300102399
Two keys are provided. The key fits all locks.
Keep one in a safe place as a spare key. WARNING
l When taking a key on flights, do not
press any switches on the key while on
the plane. If a switch is pressed on the
plane, the key emits electromagnetic
waves, which could adversely affect the
plane’s flight operation.
When carrying a key in a bag, be careful
that no switches on the key can be easily
pressed by mistake.
NOTE l The

key number is stamped on the tag as in-
dicated in the illustration.
Make a record of the key number and store
the key and key number tag in separate pla-
ces, so that you can order a key in the event
the original keys are lost. l
The
key is a precision electronic device with
a built-in signal transmitter. Please observe
the following in order to prevent malfunction-
ing. • Do not leave the key anywhere where ex-posed to direct sunlight, for example on
the dashboard.
• Do not disassemble or modify.
• Do not excessively bend the key or sub- ject it to strong impacts.
• Do not expose to water.
• Keep away from magnetic key rings.
• Keep away from audio systems, personal computers, TVs, and other equipment
that generates a magnetic field.
• Keep away from devices that emit strong electromagnetic waves, such as cellular
phones, wireless devices and high frequen-
cy equipment (including medical devices).
• Do not clean with ultrasonic cleaners or similar equipment.
• Do not leave the key where it may be ex- posed to high temperature or high humid-
ity.
l The electric motor unit 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 “Electronic immo-
bilizer” section for details and key usage. Electronic immobilizer (Anti-
theft starting system) E00300201928
The
electronic immobilizer is designed to signifi-
cantly 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 by using a key “registered” to
the immobilizer system.
NOTE
l In the following cases, the vehicle may not
be able to receive the registered ID code
from the registered key and the electric mo-
tor unit may not start.
• When the key contacts a key ring or othermetallic or magnetic object (Type A)
• When the key grip contacts metal of an- other key (Type B) Locking and unlocking

• When the key contacts or is close to other
immobilizing keys (including keys of oth-
er vehicles) (Type C)

In cases like these, remove the object or
additional key from the vehicle key and
turn the key back to the “ACC” or
“LOCK” position. Then try again to start
the electric motor unit. If the electric mo-
tor unit does not start, we recommend
you to contact your MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point. l
Two keys are provided.
If
you lose one of them, order a key from
your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point as soon as possible.
To obtain a replacement or extra spare key,
take your vehicle and any remaining key to
your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point. All the keys have to be regis-
tered in the immobilizer computer unit. The
immobilizer can register up to 8 different keys. CAUTION
l
Don’t
make any alterations or additions
to the immobilizer system; alterations or
additions could cause failure of the immo-
bilizer. Keyless entry system
