NOTE
If the engine hood is open, the theft-alarm indicator (A)
illuminates and the system cannot enter the armed stage.
The system enters the armed stage about 20 seconds after
the engine hood is closed.

The system will be disarmed if, while the theft-alarm indi-
cator (A) is illuminated, all doors and the tailgate are
unlocked by using the keyless entry system or the
F.A.S.T.-key operation.

The system will be disarmed if, while the theft-alarm indi-
cator is illuminated, the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON”.

The system will not be armed if a door, the tailgate or the
engine hood is not completely closed. If this happens,
rearm the system as described above.

The theft-alarm system can be activated when people are
riding inside the vehicle or when the windows are open.
To prevent accidental activation of the alarm, do not set
the system to the system armed mode while people are
riding in the vehicle.

For vehicles equipped with the interior alarm sensor, if the
turn signal lights do not flash after the locking and unlock-
ing operation using the keyless entry system or the
F.A.S.T.-key operation, the theft-alarm system may be
malfunctioning.
Have the vehicle inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer.
If the answerback function (flashing of the turn signal
lights by locking and unlocking the doors and the tailgate)
is deactivated, the turn signal lights do not flash after the
locking and unlocking operation.For information on the answerback function, refer to
“Keyless entry system” on pages 3-9 and 3-45 and “To
operate using the F.A.S.T.-key” on page 3-20.

For vehicles equipped with the interior alarm sensor, the
theft-alarm system could be activated in the following sit-
uations.
• Using a car washer.
• Taking the vehicle on a ferry.
• Parking in an automated car park.
• Leaving someone or a pet in the vehicle.
• Leaving a window or the sunroof open.
• Leaving an unstable object such as a stuffed toy or
accessory in the vehicle.
• During a continuous impact or vibration by hail, thun-
der, etc.
According to the situations, deactivate the vehicle incli-
nation detection function and the interior intrusion
detection function.
Refer to “Theft-alarm system: To deactivate the vehicle
inclination detection function and the interior intrusion
detection function” on page 3-65.

For vehicles equipped with the interior alarm sensor, the
sensitivity of the interior intrusion detection function can
be adjusted. For further details, please contact an autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.

or closing end during operations. If this should acciden-
tally be allowed to happen, repeat the process from step 1.
