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 vehicles has not been affected.
Consider also that there basically exists no li- ability on the part of the appraiser or the offi-
cial. Only in the case of parts ( MITSUBISHI
MOTORS original replacement or exchange
parts as well as MITSUBISHI MOTORS
genuine accessories) that are recommended and released by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point and that are attach- ed or installed by a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point can you assume, that optimal safety has been provided. Thesame also pertains to modifications of
MITSUBISHI vehicles with respect to the
production specifications. For your own safe-
ty, in such cases, you should only undertake
modifications according to the recommenda-
tions of a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized Service Point.Modification/alterations to

Electronic immobilizer(Anti-theft starting system) E00300203472
The electronic immobilizer is designed to significantly reduce the possibility of vehicle
theft. The purpose of the system is to immo-
bilize the vehicle if an invalid start is attemp-
ted. A valid start attempt can only be ach- ieved by using a key “registered” to the im-mobilizer 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 objectNOTE• 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
NOTEnot 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.
l 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.

Security alarm system*E00301500657
The security alarm system is designed to pre- vent unlawful entry into the vehicle. It will
alert people nearby if a door, the backdoor, or the bonnet is opened when the vehicle has
not been unlocked using the keyless entry system.
Also, the alarm will be activated if any of the
following occur.
l Attempt an unlawful moving of the vehi-
cle. (the vehicle inclination detection function)
l Detect a motion in the vehicle. (the inte-
rior intrusion detection function)
l Disconnect the battery terminal.
The security alarm system is set to “active” when the vehicle leaves the factory.
When making changes to the settings, please
follow the procedure listed in the section ti- tled “Changing the system settings” on page
3-12.CAUTIONl Do not modify or add parts to the security
alarm system.
Doing so could cause the security alarm to malfunction.NOTEl The alarm system will not be activated if the
doors (including the backdoor) have been
locked using a key or the central door lock switch (instead of the keyless entry system).
l If the turn-signal lamps do not blink after the
locking and unlocking operation using thekeyless entry system, the security alarm sys-
tem may be malfunctioning.

ice Point.
l In the following situations, the security
alarm system could be more likely to be ac-
cidentally activated.
• Using a car wash
• Taking the vehicle on a ferry
• Parking in an automated car park
• Leaving someone or a pet in the vehicle
• Leaving a window, door, or the sunroof
open
• Leaving an unstable object such as a stuf-
fed toy or accessory in the vehicle

tion by hail, thunder, etc.
l The sensitivity of the vehicle inclination de-
tection function and the interior intrusion de-
tection function can be adjusted. For details,
please contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.The security alarm has four
modes:
System preparation mode (ap- prox. 20 seconds)
(The buzzer sounds intermittently, and the se-
curity alarm indicator (A) blinks)
The system preparation time extends from the point at which all of the doors (including the backdoor) are locked by the keyless entry
switch to the point at which the system acti- vation mode goes into effect.
During this time, it is possible to temporarily
open a door without using the keyless entry system and without causing the alarm to sound (for example, when you forget some-
thing inside the vehicle or realize that a win- dow is open).

the system armed mode starts. If an unlawful
opening of any of the doors (including the backdoor) or the bonnet is detected during
the system armed mode, the alarm will be ac-
tivated to warn people around the vehicle of an abnormal condition.
Also, if unlawful moving of the vehicle is at-
tempted or a vehicle intrusion is detected, the alarm will be activated.
