The security alarm system is for alerting thesurrounding area of suspicious behaviour to
prevent unlawful entry into the vehicle by op- erating an alarm if a door, the tailgate or the bonnet is opened when the vehicle has not
been unlocked using the keyless entry system or the keyless operation function.
Also, the alarm will be activated if any of the
following occur.
l Attempt to an unlawful moving of the
vehicle (the vehicle inclination detection
function)
l Detection of a motion in the vehicle (the
interior intrusion detection function)
l Disconnect the battery terminal.
The security alarm system is set to “active”.
When making changes to the settings, please follow the procedure listed in the section ti-
tled “Changing the security alarm settings”
on page 3-34.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 and the tailgate have been locked us-ing a key, the inside lock knob or the central
door lock switch (instead of the keyless en- try system or the keyless operation func-
tion).
Security alarm system*

NOTElIf the turn-signal lamps do not blink after the
locking and unlocking operation using thekeyless entry system or the keyless operation
function, the security alarm system may be malfunctioning.
Have the vehicle inspected at a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.
If the confirmation function (blinking of the
turn-signal lamps by locking and unlocking
the doors and the tailgate) is deactivated, the turn-signal lamps do not blink after the lock- ing and unlocking operation.
For information on the confirmation func- tion, refer to “Keyless entry system” on pa-
ges 3-04 , 3-22 and “To operate using the
keyless operation function” on page 3-10.
l The security alarm system could be activated
in the following situations.
• 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 open
• Leaving an unstable object such as a stuf-
fed toy or accessory in the vehicle
• Suffering a continuous impact or vibra-
tion by hail, thunder, etc.
According to the situations, deactivate the
vehicle inclination detection function and the interior intrusion detection function.
Refer to “To deactivate the vehicle inclina-
tion detection function and the interior intru-
sion detection function” on page 3-37.NOTEl The sensitivity of the interior intrusion de-

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 indicator (A) blinks.)
The system preparation time extends from
the point at which all of the doors and the
tailgate are locked by pressing the LOCK
switch on the remote control switch or the
keyless operation function to the point at which the system armed mode goes into ef- fect.
During this time, it is possible to temporarily open a door or the tailgate without using the
keyless entry system or the keyless operation function and without causing the alarm tosound (for example, when you forget some-
thing inside the vehicle or realize that a win-
dow is open).
System armed mode
(The security indicator continues to blink with the indicator’s reduced lit-up duration
time.)
Once the system preparation mode has ended,
the system armed mode starts.
If an unlawful opening of any of the doors, tailgate or bonnet is detected during the sys-
tem armed mode, the alarm will be activated
to warn people around the vehicle of an ab-
normal condition.
Also, if unlawful moving of the vehicle is at-
tempted or a vehicle intrusion is detected, the alarm will be activated.
