Important points!
Due to large number of accessory and re- placement parts of different manufactures
available in the market, it is not possible, not only for MITSUBISHI MOTORS , but also
for a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point, to check whether the attach- ment or installation of such parts affects theoverall safety of your MITSUBISHI-vehicle.
Even when such parts are officially author-
ized, for example by a “general operators permit” (an appraisal for the part) or throughthe execution of the part in an officially ap-
proved manner of construction, or when a single operation permit following the attach-
ment or installation of such parts, it cannot be deduced from that alone, that the driving
safety of your vehicle has not been affected.

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.
