Electronic immobilizer (Anti-theft starting system) E00300200921
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 (subject to certain conditions)
using a keyless operation system “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 key. This means the engine will not
start even when the registered 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 an-
other key (Type B)
• 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 engine.If the engine does not start, we recom-
mend you to contact your MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.l Two keys are provided.
If you lose one of them, order a replacement
as soon as possible.
To obtain a key, take your vehicle and all re-
maining keys to a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.
If you need an extra spare key, take your ve-
hicle and all the keys to a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point. All the
keys have to be re-registered in the immobil-
izer computer unit. The immobilizer allows
up to 8 different ID codes to be registered;
you can register a maximum of 8 keys for use.CAUTIONl Don’t make any alterations or additions
to the immobilizer system; alterations or
additions could cause failure of the immo-
bilizer.

Driver’s switch (RHD)
1- Driver’s door window
2- Front passenger’s door window
3- Rear left door window (Double cab)
4- Rear right door window (Double cab)
5- Lock switch
6- Rear retractable power window (Double cab)*
The switches can be used to operate all door win-
dows. A window can be opened or closed by oper-
ating the corresponding switch.
Press the switch down to open the window, and
pull up the switch to close it.
If the switch is fully pressed down/pulled up, the
door window automatically opens/closes complete-
ly.
If you want to stop the window movement, operate
the switch lightly in the reverse direction.
NOTE l Repeated operation with the engine stopped
will run down the battery. Operate the win-
dow switches only while the engine is running.
l The rear door windows only open halfway.
Rear retractable power window switch (Double
cab)*
The rear retractable power window switch can be
used to operate the rear retractable power window.
The rear retractable power window stops in three
positions: the fully closed position, a ventilation po-
sition, and the fully open position.
1- Close
2- Open
NOTE
l It is not possible to stop the rear retractable
power window in any position other than the
fully closed position, ventilation position,
and fully open position.
If the rear retractable power window is
opened while the rear window demister is op-
erating, the rear window demister automati-
cally stops. When the rear retractable power
window is subsequently fully closed, the be-
haviour of the rear window demister depends
upon the elapsed time of the rear window de-
mister’s timer. (The timer runs for about 20
minutes in total.) •If the rear window demister’s timer is run-
ning, the rear window demister restarts
for the remaining time.
• If the rear window demister’s timer has
finished, the rear window demister does
not operate. If you wish to activate the
rear window demister, press the rear win-
dow demister switch again.

lIf the sunroof does not operate when the sun-
roof switch is operated, release the switch
and check whether something is trapped by
the sunroof. If nothing is trapped, we recom-
mend you to have the sunroof checked.
l Depending on the model of ski carriers or
roof carriers, the sunroof may make contact
with the carrier when the sunroof is tilted up.
Be careful when tilting up the sunroof if such
a ski carrier or a roof carrier is installed.
l Be sure to close the sunroof completely
when washing the vehicle or when leaving
the vehicle.
l Be careful, not to put any wax on the weath-
erstrip (black rubber) around the sunroof
opening. If stained with wax, the weather-
strip cannot maintain a weatherproof seal
with the sunroof.
l After washing the vehicle or after it has
rained, wipe off any water that is on the sun-
roof before operating it.
l Operating the sunroof repeatedly with the en-
gine stationary will run down the battery. Op-
erate the sunroof while the engine is running.
