Warning display type 2
A tone and warning light are used to remind the driver to fasten
the seat belt.
If the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the
operation mode is put in ON without the driver’s seat belt
being fastened, a warning light will come on and a tone will
sound for approximately 6 seconds to remind you to fasten
your seat belt.
If you then drive with the seat belt unfastened for longer than a
minute from when the ignition switch or the engine switch is
operated, the warning light will come on and blink repeatedly
and the tone will sound intermittently.
The warning light and the tone will stop after approximately 90
seconds.If you then repeatedly stop and start your vehicle with the seat
belt unfastened, the warning light/display and tone will remind
you to fasten your seat belt every time the vehicle starts mov-
ing. You will also be reminded to fasten your seat belt in this
way when you remove your seat belt while driving. The warn-
ing light and the tone go off when the seat belt is fastened.
NOTE

At the same time, “FASTEN SEAT BELT” will be dis-
played on the information screen in the multi-information
display.

in an accident, always fasten your own seat belt. Do
not allow anyone to ride in your vehicle unless he or

3Break-in recommendations
N00508700330
Advanced automobile manufacturing techniques permit you to
operate your new vehicle without requiring a long break-in
period of low-speed driving.
However, you can add to the future performance and economy
of your vehicle by observing the following precautions during
the first 300 miles (500 km).
Drive your vehicle at moderate speeds during the break-in
period.

Avoid revving the engine.

Avoid rough driving such as sudden starts, sudden accel-
eration, prolonged high-speed driving and sudden brak-
ing. These would have a detrimental effect on the engine
and also cause increased fuel and oil consumption, which
could result in malfunction of the engine components. Be
particularly careful to avoid full acceleration while in low
shift position (low gears).

Do not overload the vehicle. Stay within the seating
capacity. (Refer to “Cargo load precautions” on page 4-
13.)

Do not use this vehicle for trailer towing.

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 3-4.
Refer to “Free-hand Advanced Security Transmitter
(F.A.S.T.-key): “Electronic immobilizer (Anti-theft start-
ing system)” on page 3-31.

When the theft-alarm is in the system operational status,
the alarm operates if a door or liftgate is opened after
using the key, the door lock knob or the power door lock
switch to unlock the vehicle.

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.
Electronic immobilizer (Anti-theft starting
system)
N00509100780
[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-
31.
[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
“OFF” position. Then try to start the engine again. If the
engine does not start, contact an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer.

NOTE
The key may not operate properly when it is near an
object or facility that emits strong electromagnetic waves.

Electronic immobilizer is not compatible with commer-
cially available remote starting systems. Use of commer-
cially available remote starting systems may result in
vehicle starting problems and a loss of security protection.

A system failure is suspected when the ignition switch is
turned to the “START” position, and the engine does not
start. In such a case, contact an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer.Replacement keysOnly keys that have been programmed to the vehicle’s elec-
tronics can be used to start the vehicle.
If you lose the key, you can order a key from your authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer by referring to the key number.
To prevent vehicle theft, the ID code for the vehicle keys must
be changed.
Take your vehicle and all remaining keys to your authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer to have your ID code changed.Additional keysTo add a key, you must already have 2 registered keys. You
need to register the ID code to the vehicle. Registering the ID code can be done by yourself (except for
vehicles sold in Canada), or by your authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer.
For you to register the ID code yourself, follow the “Customer
key programming” procedure below.
If you choose to have your authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer register the ID code, take your vehicle and all remaining
keys to your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
NOTE

You are provided with 2 keys, but you may register up to 8
keys.Customer key programming (Except for vehicles
sold in Canada)
N00562200126
You can program new keys to the system if you have two valid
(already registered) keys and blank immobilizer 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 “OFF” position and remove the first key.
3. Within 30 seconds of removing the first key, 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.

Do not make any alterations or additions to the
immobilizer system. Alterations or additions could
cause failure of the immobilizer.
