WARNINGl 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 a malfunc-
tion. •Do not leave in a place that is exposed to
direct sunlight, for example on the dash-
board.
• 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 holders.
• Keep away from audio systems, personal
computers, TVs, and other equipment
that generates a magnetic field.
• 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 engine is designed so that it will not
start if the ID code registered in the immobil-
izer computer and the key’s ID code do not
match. Refer to the “Electronic immobilizer”
section for details and key usage.

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.

NOTEl If your vehicle is equipped with the Daytime
Running Lamp, when the ignition switch is
in the “ON”, the headlamp low beams etc.
are turned on.
Refer to “Headlamps” on page 3-30.
l Your vehicle is equipped with an electronic
immobilizer.
To start the engine, the ID code which the
transponder inside the key sends must match
the one registered in the immobilizer comput-
er.
Refer to “Electronic immobilizer” on page
1-03.
To remove the key
For vehicles with a M/T, when removing the key,
push the key in at the “ACC” position and keep it
depressed until it is turned to the “LOCK” position,
and remove it.For vehicles with an A/T, when removing the key,
first set the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) posi-
tion, and then turn the key to the “LOCK” position,
and remove it.CAUTIONl Do not remove the ignition key from the
ignition switch while driving. The steer-
ing wheel will lock, causing loss of control.
l If the engine is stopped while driving, the
brake servomechanism will cease to func-
tion and braking efficiency will deterio-
rate. Also, the power steering system will
not function and it will require greater
manual effort to operate the steering.
l Do not leave the key in the “ON” position
for a long time when the engine is not run-
ning, doing so will cause the battery to be
discharged.
l Do not turn the key to the “START” posi-
tion when the engine is running, doing so
could damage the starter motor.NOTE
l For vehicles with an
A/T, when the selector
lever is in the “P” (PARK) position, do not
operate the lock button of selector lever re-
peatedly for more than 30 seconds. You may
not be able to remove the key from the igni-
tion switch, because the protection circuit is
activated. If this occurs, wait a few moments
before removing the key.
Refer to “Selector lever operation” on page
4-17.
