The key fits all locks.WARNINGl When bringing a key on flights, do not
press any switches on the key while on
the plane. If a switch is pressed on the
plane, the key emits electromagnetic
waves, which could adversely affect the
plane’s flight operation.
When carrying a key in a bag, be careful
that no switches on the key can be easily
pressed by mistake.
NOTE
l The key number is stamped on the tag as in-
dicated in the illustration.
Make a record of the key number and store
the key and key number tag in separate pla-
ces, so that you can order a key in the event
the original keys are lost.
l The key is a precision electronic device with
a built-in signal transmitter. Please observe
the following in order to prevent a malfunc-
tion. •Do not leave anywhere that is exposed to
direct sunlight, for example on the dash-
board.
• Do not dissemble or modify.
• Do not excessively bend the key or sub-
ject it to a strong impact.
• Do not expose to water.
• Keep away from magnetic key holders.
• Keep away from audio systems, personal
computers, TVs, and any other equip-
ment that generates a magnetic field.
• Do not wash with ultrasonic cleaners or
similar equipment.
• Do not leave the key where it may be ex-
posed to high temperature or high humid-
ity.
l The engine is designed so that it will not
start if the ID code registered in the immobil-
izer computer and the key’s ID code do not
match. Refer to the section entitled “Electron-
ic immobilizer” for details and key usage.Electronic immobilizer (Anti-
theft starting system) E00300201872
The electronic immobilizer is designed to signifi-
cantly 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 (subject to certain conditions)
using a keyless operation system “registered” to
the immobilizer system.
All of the keys provided with your new vehicle
have been programmed into the vehicle’s electron-
ics.
The immobilizer indication lamp comes on in the
event of a malfunction in the system electronics.
NOTE
l In the following cases, the vehicle may not
be able to receive the registered ID code
from the key. This means the engine will not
start even when the registered key is turned
to the “START” position. •When the key contacts a key ring or other
metallic or magnetic object (Type A)

•When the key grip contacts metal of an-
other key (Type B)
• When the key contacts or is close to other
immobilizing keys (including keys of oth-
er vehicles) (Type C)

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-
tact your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point.NOTE
l If you lose your key, order a key from your
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point as soon as possible.
To obtain a replacement or extra spare key,
take your vehicle and all remaining keys to
your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point. All the keys have to be re-reg-
istered in the immobilizer computer unit.
The immobilizer can register up to 8 differ-
ent keys for use.CAUTIONl Do not modify or add parts to the immo-
bilizer system. Doing so could cause the
immobilizer to malfunction.Keyless entry system E00300301831
