Advanced automobile  
manufacturing tech- 
niques permit you to operate your new vehi- cle without requiring a long break-in periodof low-speed driving. However, you can add to the future perfor- mance and economy of your vehicle byobserving the following precautions during the first 300 miles (500 km). Drive your vehicle at m 
oderate speeds during 
the break-in period.  Avoid revving the engine.  Avoid rough driving such as sudden starts, sudden accelerati 
on, prolonged high- 
speed driving and sudden braking. These actions would have a detrimental effect onthe engine and lead to increased fuel and oil consumption; th 
is could ultimately 
result in the malfunction of engine com-ponents. Be particularly careful to avoid full acceleration while in low shift posi- tion (low gears). Do not overload the vehicle. Stay within the seating capacity. (Refer to “Cargo load precautions” on page 6-10.) Refrain from towing a trailer or other vehicle (Refer to “T 
railer towing” on page 
6-11).

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.
• Keep away from devi 
ces that produce mag- 
netism, such as audio systems, computersand televisions. • Keep away from devices that emit strong electromagneti 
c waves, such as cellular 
phones, wireless devices and high fre- quency equipment (i 
ncluding medical 
devices). • Do not clean with  
ultrasonic cleaners. 
• Do not leave the key where it may be exposed to high temperature or high humid- ity. 
 If you lose your key, to prevent the theft of the vehicle immediatel 
y contact an autho- 
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. If you notify an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer of the key number, they canmake a new key. The key number is stamped on the key number plate. Keep the key num- ber plate in a safe pl 
ace separate from the 
key itself.  No keys other than those registered in advance can be used to start the engine. Refer to “Electronic immobilizer (Anti-theft starting system)” on page 5-4.Refer to “Free-hand Advanced Security Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key): “Electronic immobilizer (Anti-theft starting system)” onpage 5-16.NOTE
 When the theft-alarm is in the system opera- tional status, the alarm operates if a door orliftgate is opened after using the key, thedoor lock knob or the power door lock switch to unlock the vehicle.
