[For vehicles equipped with keyless opera-tion system]
For information on operations for vehicles equipped with the keyless operation system,
refer to “Keyless operation system: Electron- ic immobilizer (Anti-theft starting system)”
on page 3-12.
[Except vehicles equipped with keyless oper-
ation system]
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 object
• When the key grip contacts metal of an-
other key
NOTE
• 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 additional key from the vehicle key. Then
try again to start the engine. If the engine
does not start, we recommend you to con-

Refer to “Keyless operation system: Keylessentry system” on page 3-22.

The driver should always carry the keyless operation key. This key is necessary for lock-
ing and unlocking the doors and tailgate,
starting the engine and otherwise operating the vehicle, so before locking and leaving the vehicle, be sure to check that you have the
keyless operation key.WARNINGl People with implantable cardiac pace-
makers or implantable cardiovascular-de-
fibrillators should not go near the exterior
transmitters (A) or the interior transmit- ters (B). The radio waves used by the key-
less operation system could adversely af- fect implantable cardiac pacemakers orimplantable cardiovascular-defibrillators.WARNINGl When using electro-medical devices other
than implantable cardiac pacemakers or implantable cardiovascular-defibrillators,
contact the electromedical device manu- facturer ahead of time to determine theaffects of radio waves on the devices. Elec-
tromedical device operations could be af- fected by radio waves.
You can limit the possible operations of
the keyless operation system in the fol-
lowing ways. (The keyless operation system can be used as a keyless entry system.) Consult a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
• You can limit operations to locking
and unlocking the doors and tailgate.
• You can limit operations to starting
the engine.
• The keyless operation system can be
disabled.

When keyless operation system opera-
tions are modified, the transmitters oper- ate as follows. • Only locking and unlocking doors or
tailgate: exterior and interior transmit- ters
• Only starting the engine: interior
transmitterNOTEl The keyless operation key uses an ultra-
weak electromagnetic wave. In the following
cases, the keyless operation system may not
operate properly or may be unstable.
• When there is equipment nearby that
emits strong radio waves, such as: a pow-
er station, a radio/TV broadcasting station or an airport.
• The keyless operation system is carried
together with a communications device such as a cellular phone or radio set, or
with an electronic device such as a per- sonal computer.
• The keyless operation key is touching or
covered by a metal object.

NOTE•A keyless entry system is being used
nearby.
• When the keyless operation key battery is
worn out.
• When the keyless operation key is placed
in an area with strong radio waves or noise.
In such cases, use the emergency key.
Refer to “To operate without using the
keyless operation function” on page 3-21.
l Because the keyless operation key receives
signals in order to communicate with the transmitters in the vehicle, the battery con-tinually wears down regardless of keylessoperation key use. The battery life is 1 to 3 years, depending on usage conditions. When
the battery wears out, have it replaced at a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.
l Because the keyless operation key continual-
ly receives signals, strong radio wave recep-
tion could affect battery wear. Do not leave
the key near a TV, personal computer, or
other electronic device.Operating range of the keyless
operation system
E00305700367
If you are carrying the keyless operation key,
enter the operating range of the keyless oper-ation system, and press the driver’s or front

You can only lock and unlock the doors and tailgate, start the engine and change the oper-
ation mode if the ID codes of your keyless operation key and the vehicle match.
NOTEl If the keyless operation key battery is wear-
ing out or there are strong electromagnetic
waves or noise present, the operating range
may become smaller and operation may be-
come unstable.Operating range for locking

E00312200133
If you press the engine switch without de-
pressing the brake pedal ( A/T or CVT ) or the
clutch pedal ( M/T), you can change the oper-
ation mode in the order of OFF, ACC, ON, OFF.
CAUTIONl When the engine is not running, put the op-
eration mode in OFF. Leaving the operation mode in ON or ACC for a long time when
the engine is not running may cause the bat- tery to be discharged, making it impossible
to start the engine, lock and unlock the steer- ing wheel.
l When the battery is disconnected, the cur-
rent operation mode is memorized. After re- connecting the battery, the memorized modeis selected automatically. Before disconnect-
ing the battery for repair or replacement,
make sure to put the operation mode in OFF.
Be careful if you are not sure which opera- tion mode the vehicle is in when the battery
is run down.
l The operation mode cannot be changed from
OFF to ACC or ON if the keyless operation
key is not detected to be in the vehicle. Refer
