NOTE
The key may not operate properly when it is near an
object or facility that emits strong electromagnetic waves.

Electronic immobilizer is not compatible with commer-
cially available remote starting systems. Use of commer-
cially available remote starting systems may result in
vehicle starting problems and a loss of security protection.

A system failure is suspected when the ignition switch is
turned to the “START” position, and the engine does not
start. In such a case, contact an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer.
Replacement keysOnly keys that have been programmed to the vehicle’s elec-
tronics can be used to start the vehicle.
If you lose the key, you can order a key from your authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer by referring to the key number.
To prevent vehicle theft, the ID code for the vehicle keys must
be changed.
Take your vehicle and all remaining keys to your authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer to have your ID code changed.Additional keysTo add a key, you need to register the ID code to the vehicle.
Registering the ID code can be done by your authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer. Or it can be done by yourself (except

For you to register the ID code yourself, follow the “Customer
key programming” procedure below.
If you choose to have your authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer register the ID code, take your vehicle and all remaining
keys to your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.NOTE
You are provided with two keys, but you may register up
to eight keys.

N00503100052
The Free-hand Advanced Security Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key)
enables the doors to be locked and unlocked, the trunk lid to be
opened, and the engine to be started simply by carrying it.
The F.A.S.T.-key can also be used as the remote control trans-
mitter of the keyless entry system.
Refer to “Free-hand Advanced Security Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-
key)”: “Keyless entry system” on page 3-45.
CAUTION
!
When the remote control transmitter case is opened,
be careful to keep water, dust, etc. out. Also, do not
touch the internal components.
The F.A.S.T.-key must be carried by the driver. The F.A.S.T.-
key is required for vehicle operations such as locking and
unlocking the doors, opening the trunk lid, and starting the
engine. When leaving the vehicle, make sure you are carrying
the F.A.S.T.-key and then lock the vehicle.
WARNING
!
Individuals who use implantable pacemakers or
implantable cardioverter-defibrillators should keep
away from the external and internal transmitters.
The electromagnetic waves used in the F.A.S.T.-key
may affect the operation of implantable pacemakers
and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators.

key is removed from the passenger compartment so that the ID
codes of the F.A.S.T.-key and the vehicle can no longer be ver-
ified, the warning display is displayed and the buzzer sounds 4

• If you shift the gearshift lever into the “N” (NEUTRAL)
position and depress the accelerator pedal, increases in
the engine speed will be limited.
Starting the engineYour vehicle is equipped with an electronically controlled fuel
injection system. This is a system that automatically controls
fuel injection. There is usually no need to depress the accelera-
tor pedal when starting the engine.
The starter motor should not be run for more than 15 seconds at
a time.
To prevent battery drain, wait a few seconds between attempts
to restart the engine.
Normal conditions
To start your vehicle:
Make sure all occupants are properly seated with seat belts fas-
tened.
1. Press and hold the brake pedal down with your right foot.
2. Press and hold the clutch pedal all the way down (manual
transaxle).NOTE
For models equipped with a manual transaxle, the starter
will not operate unless the clutch pedal is fully depressed
(Clutch interlock). This is a safety feature.
WARNING
!
Never run the engine in a closed or poorly ventilated
area any longer than is needed to move your vehicle
out of the area. Carbon monoxide gas, which is
odorless and extremely poisonous, could build up
and cause serious injury or death.
CAUTION
!
Do not push-start the vehicle.
Do not run the engine at high rpms or drive at high
speeds until the engine has had a chance to warm
up.
Release the ignition switch as soon as the engine
starts. Otherwise, the starter motor will be dam-
aged.
