WARNINGl When  taking  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 in a place that is exposed to
direct  sunlight,  for  example  on  the  dash-
board.
• Do not disassemble or modify.
• Do  not  excessively  bend  the  key  or  sub-
ject it to strong impacts.
• Do not expose to water.
• Keep away from magnetic key holders.
• Keep  away  from  audio  systems,  personal
computers,  TVs,  and  other  equipment
that generates a magnetic field.
• Do  not  clean  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 “Electronic immobilizer”
section for details and key usage.

Electronic immobilizer (Anti-theft starting system) E00300200921
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.
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  and
turn  the  key  back  to  the  “ACC”  or
“LOCK”  position.  Then  try  again  to  start
the engine.If  the  engine  does  not  start,  we  recom-
mend  you  to  contact  your  MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.l Two keys are provided.
If  you  lose  one  of  them,  order  a  replacement
as soon as possible.
To obtain a key, take your vehicle and all re-
maining  keys  to  a  MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.
If you need an extra spare key, take your ve-
hicle  and  all  the  keys  to  a  MITSUBISHI
MOTORS   Authorized  Service  Point.  All  the
keys have to be re-registered in the immobil-
izer  computer  unit.  The  immobilizer  allows
up  to  8  different  ID  codes  to  be  registered;
you can register a maximum of 8 keys for use.CAUTIONl Don’t  make  any  alterations  or  additions
to  the  immobilizer  system;  alterations  or
additions could cause failure of the immo-
bilizer.
