Electronic immobilizer(Anti-theft starting system) E00300203111
The electronic immobilizer has been de- signed 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 by using a key “registered” to the immobilizer system.NOTEl In the following cases, the vehicle may not
be able to receive the registered ID code from the registered key and the engine may
not start.
• When the key contacts a key ring or other
metallic or magnetic object.
• When the key grip contacts metal of an-
other key.
• When the key contacts or is close to other
immobilizing keys (including keys of oth-er vehicles).
In cases like these, remove the object or ad-
ditional key from the vehicle key. Then try again to start the engine. If the engine does
not start, we recommend you to contact your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.
l Electronic immobilizer is not compatible
with remote starting systems. Use of these systems may result in vehicle starting prob-lems and a loss of security protection.NOTEl If you lose your key, order a key from your
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point as soon as possible. To obtain a re- placement or extra spare key, take your vehi-
cle and all remaining keys to your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point. All the keys have to be re-regis- tered in the immobilizer computer unit. The immobilizer can register up to 8 different
keys for use.CAUTIONl Don’t make any alterations or additions to
the immobilizer system; alterations or addi-tions could cause failure of the immobilizer.Keyless entry system*

If the safety mechanism should be activated 5 or more times consecutively, normal closing
of the sunroof will be aborted. In such an
event, the following steps should be taken: 1. Press the switch (2) repeatedly, setting
the sunroof in the tilt up condition.
2. Once the tilt up condition has been
reached, press and hold the switch (2)
for a period of at least 3 seconds.
3. Press the switch (2) once again to fully
close the sunroof.
4. After pressing the switch (3) to perform
full opening, press the switch (2) to fully close the sunroof.NOTEl The safety mechanism can be activated if the
driving conditions or other circumstancescause the sunroof to be subjected to a physi-
cal shock similar to that caused by a trapped hand or head.
l Avoid stopping the sunroof before it reaches
the opening or closing end during operations
in steps 3 and 4 above. If this should acci- dentally happen, repeat the process fromstep 1.
5. Following this action, it should be possi-
ble to operate the sunroof in the normal manner.
CAUTIONl The safety mechanism is cancelled just be-
fore the sunroof is fully closed. This allows the sunroof to close completely.
Therefore be especially careful that no fin-
gers are trapped in the sunroof.NOTEl The sunroof stops just before reaching the
fully open position.
If the vehicle is driven with the sunroof in
this position, wind throb is lower than with the sunroof fully open.
l When leaving the vehicle unattended, make
sure you close the sunroof and remove the ignition key.
l Do not try to operate the sunroof if it is fro-
zen closed (after snow fall or during extreme cold).
l Do not sit or place heavy luggage on the
sunroof or roof opening edge.
l Release the switch as soon as the sunroof
reaches the fully open or fully closed posi-
tion.
l If the sunroof does not operate when the
sunroof switch is operated, release the
switch and check whether something is trap-
ped by the sunroof. If nothing is trapped, we recommend you to have the sunroof checked.NOTEl Depending on the model of ski carriers or
roof carriers, the sunroof may make contactwith 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 instal-
led.
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
engine stationary will run down the battery. Operate the sunroof while the engine is run-
ning.

NOTElWhen the vehicle has been refuelled, the
pointer in the fuel gauge takes a short while
to stabilize.
l The fuel gauge will not give an accurate in-
dication if the vehicle is refuelled with the ignition switch in the “ON” position.
l When the engine on diesel-powered vehicles
fails to operate due to running out of fuel, it may sometimes be difficult to start after re-
fueling. This is due to air entering the fuel
system. Therefore, air must be bled from the system. (Refer to “Bleeding the fuel system” on page 8-06.)
Fuel lid mark
The fuel lid mark (A) indicates that the fuel
tank filler door is located on the right side of the vehicle.

engine coolant temperature when the ignition
switch is in the “ON” position.
CAUTIONl If the indication needle enters the H zone
while the engine is running, it indicates that
the engine is possibly overheating. Immedi-
ately park your vehicle in a safe place and make the necessary corrections. (Refer to“Engine overheating” on page 8-04.)
