attempted. A valid st
art attempt can only be
achieved (subject to ce
rtain conditions) using
a key “registered” to the immobilizer system. All of the keys provided with your new vehi- cle have been program
med to the vehicle’s
electronics.
Only keys that have been programmed to the vehicle’s electronics can be used to start thevehicle. If you lose the key, you can order a key from your authorized Mitsubi
shi 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 toyour authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer to have your ID code changed.
NOTE
 In the following cases, the vehicle may not be able to recognize
the registered ID code
from the key. This mean
s 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 magnet
ic 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 (inc
luding 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 enginedoes not start, cont
act 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 commercially available remote startingsystems. Use of commercially available remote starting systems may result in vehicle starting problems and a loss of security pro-tection.
 A system failure is suspected when the igni- tion switch is turned to the “START” posi-tion, and the engine does
not start. In such a
case, contact an au
thorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer.CAUTION Do not make any altera
tions or additions to
the immobilizer system.
Alterations or addi-
tions could cause failure of the immobilizer.

A- External transmitter B- Internal transmitterWA R N I N G Individuals using ot
her electro-medical
apparatus besides implantable pacemak- ers and implantable
cardiovascular-defi-
brillators should check with themanufacturer of the apparatus to confirm the effect of the electromagnetic waves used by the F.A.S.T.-key. The electromag-netic waves may affect
the operations of
the electro-medical apparatus.
NOTE
 The F.A.S.T.-key uses weak electromagnetic waves.In cases such as the following, operation may be imprope
r or unstable.
• The vehicle is near a facility that emits strong electroma
gnetic waves, such as a TV
transmitting tower, a pow
er station, a radio
station or an airport • The key is carried together with other com- munication devices such
as cellular phones
or radios, or electrical appliances such as computers • The F.A.S.T.-key touches or is covered by a metal object • A keyless entry system is being used nearby • The battery of the F.A.S.T.-key is run down • The vehicle is in a location with strong electromagnetic
waves or noise
Use the emergency key in such circum- stances.Refer to “To operate
without using the
F.A.S.T.-key” on page 5-19.  The F.A.S.T.-key is constantly performing reception operations
in its communication
with the vehicle. This means that the battery is always running down, regardless of howoften the F.A.S.T.-key is used. The battery life is about 1 to 2 years, depending on the usage conditions.  Since the F.A.S.T.-key is constantly perform- ing reception operati
ons, the reception of
strong electrom
agnetic waves
can accelerate
the running down of the
battery. Do not place
near to electrical appliances such as televi-sions or computers.
