Electronic immobilizer (Anti-theft starting sys-
tem)
N00529600127
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 F.A.S.T.-key “registered” to the immobilizer sys-
tem.
All of the keys provided with your new vehicle have been pro-
grammed to the vehicle’s electronics.Replacement F.A.S.T.-keyOnly the F.A.S.T.-keys that have been programmed to the vehi-
cle’s electronics can be used to start the vehicle.
If you lose the F.A.S.T.-key, you can order a F.A.S.T.-key from
your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer by referring to the
key number.
To prevent vehicle theft, the ID codes for all the F.A.S.T.-keys
except the one for the lost F.A.S.T.-key must be programmed
again.
Take your vehicle and all the remaining F.A.S.T.-keys to your
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer to have your ID codes
programmed again.
Additional F.A.S.T.-keyTo add a F.A.S.T.-key, you must already have two registered
F.A.S.T.-keys. You need to register the ID code to the vehicle.
Registering the ID code can be done by your authorized Mit-
subishi Motors dealer. Or it can be done by yourself (except for
vehicles sold in Canada).
For you to register the ID code yourself, follow the “Customer
F.A.S.T.-key programming” procedure below.
If you choose to have your authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer register the ID code, take your vehicle and all remaining
F.A.S.T.-keys to your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.NOTE
You are provided with two F.A.S.T.-keys, but you may
register up to four F.A.S.T.-keys.

vehicle from your Mitsubishi Motors dealer.

• the immobilizer display does not come on within 30 sec-
onds after turning the ignition switch to the “ON” posi-
tion with a blank F.A.S.T.-key

• a period of 30 seconds or longer elapses from the
moment when the first F.A.S.T.-key is turned to the
“LOCK” position to the moment when the second
F.A.S.T.-key is turned to the “ON” position
• a period of 30 seconds or longer elapses from the
moment when the second F.A.S.T.-key is turned to the
“LOCK” position to the moment when the blank
