For future performance and economy of your vehicle, we rec-
ommend that you carry out the following precautions.

Avoid revving the engine. Do not exceed 5,000 rpm for
the first 600 miles (1,000 km).

Avoid rough driving such as fast starts, prolonged high-
speed driving and rough shifting for the first 300 miles
(500 km).

The high-performance brake pads on your vehicle require
a short break-in period. Avoid hard braking for the first
300 miles (500 km) to prevent future abnormal brake
noise and vibration from your vehicle’s brake pads.

The standard-equipment tires use a high-grip compound.
Thus drive with extra care for the first 200 miles (300
km).

Do not overload the vehicle. Observe the seating capacity
(See “Cargo loads precautions” on page 4-13).

Do not use this vehicle for trailer towing.

Keep one F.A.S.T.-key and one emergency key in a safe place
together as a set of spare keys.
NOTE
The key is a precision electronic device with a built-in sig-
nal transmitter. Please observe the following in order to
prevent damage.
• Do not leave where it may be exposed to heat caused by
direct sunlight, such as on top of the dashboard.
• Do not take the remote control transmitter apart.
• Do not excessively bend the key or subject it to strong
impacts.
• Keep the remote control transmitter dry.
• Keep away from magnetic objects such as key rings.
• Keep away from devices that produce magnetism, such
as audio systems, computers and televisions.
• Keep away from devices that emit strong electromag-
netic waves, such as cellular phones, wireless devices
and high frequency equipment (including medical
devices).
• Do not clean with ultrasonic cleaners.
• Do not leave the key where it may be exposed to high
temperature or high humidity.

If you lose your key, to prevent the theft of the vehicle
immediately contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer.
If you notify an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer of
the key number, they can make a new key. The key num-
ber is stamped on the key number plate. Keep the key
number plate in a safe place separate from the key itself.

No keys other than those registered in advance can be
used to start the engine.
Refer to “Electronic immobilizer (Anti-theft starting sys-
tem)” on page 3-4.
Refer to “Free-hand Advanced Security Transmitter
(F.A.S.T.-key)”: “Electronic immobilizer (Anti-theft start-
ing system)” on page 3-41.

When the theft-alarm is in the system operational status,
the alarm operates if a door is opened after using the key,
the door lock knob or the power door lock to unlock the
vehicle.

The system does not enter the preparation status if the
keyless entry system or the F.A.S.T.-key operation was
not used to lock the vehicle.
Electronic immobilizer (Anti-theft starting
system)

[For vehicles equipped with the Free-hand Advanced Security
Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key)]
For information on operations for vehicles equipped with the
Free-hand Advanced Security Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key), refer
to “Free-hand Advanced Security Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key)”:
“Electronic immobilizer (Anti-theft starting system)” on page
3-41.
[Except for vehicles equipped with the Free-hand Advanced
Security Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key)]
The electronic immobilizer is designed to significantly 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 condi-
tions) using a key “registered” to the immobilizer system.
All of the keys provided with your new vehicle have been pro-
grammed to the vehicle’s electronics.

NOTE
Do not attach additional keys or accessories to the ignition
key. Such objects could prevent the driver’s knee airbag
from inflating normally. Refer to “Deployment of front
airbags” on page 2-45.

In the following cases, the vehicle may not be able to rec-
ognize the registered ID code from the key. This means
the engine will not start even when the 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 another key (Type
B)
• When the key contacts or is close to other immobilizer
keys (including keys of other vehicles) (Type C)

In cases like the above, move the offending object(s) away
from the key and turn the key back to the “ACC” or
“LOCK” position. Then try to start the engine again. If the
engine does not start, contact an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer.

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 an 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 an 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 an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer. Or it can be done by yourself (except
for vehicles sold in Canada).
For you to register the ID code yourself, follow the “Customer
key programming” procedure below.
If you choose to have an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer
register the ID code, take your vehicle and all remaining keys
to an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.NOTE
You are provided with two keys, but you may register up
to eight keys.

Customer key programming (Except for vehicles
sold in Canada)
N00562200070
You can program new keys to the system if you have two valid
(already registered) keys and blank (not registered) immobi-
lizer key (specially cut for your vehicle at your Mitsubishi
Motors dealer) by doing the following:
1. Insert the first valid key into the ignition switch and turn
the key to the “ON” position for 5 seconds.
2. Turn the key to the “LOCK” position and remove the first
key.
3. Within 30 seconds of turning the first key to the “LOCK”
position, insert the second valid key into the ignition and
turn it to the “ON” position. About 10 seconds later, the
immobilizer display will start to blink.4. When the immobilizer display starts blinking, turn the
second valid key to the “LOCK” position and remove it.
Within 30 seconds after doing so, insert a blank immobi-
lizer key into the ignition switch and turn it to the “ON”
position. Perform this operation no more than 30 seconds
after the immobilizer display starts blinking. When regis-
tration of the ID code is complete, the immobilizer display
will come on for 3 seconds then go off. If an error occurs,
the immobilizer display will go off during the procedure.
5. If you wish to register another key, perform the process
again from step 1.

NOTE
Perform the operation when the interrupt display screen is
not showing. The interrupt display screen may prevent
you from seeing the immobilizer display.

It is not possible to register a key if:
• the immobilizer display goes off during the procedure
• the immobilizer display does not come on within 30 sec-
onds after turning the ignition switch to the “ON” posi-
tion with a blank immobilizer key

The procedure will be terminated automatically if:
• a period of 30 seconds or longer elapses from the
moment when the first key is turned to the “LOCK”
position to the moment when the second key is turned to
the “ON” position
• a period of 30 seconds or longer elapses from the
moment when the second key is turned to the “LOCK”
position to the moment when the blank immobilizer key
is turned to the “ON” position

To use the new remote control transmitters, it is necessary
to register the key with both the electronic immobilizer
and keyless entry system.
Also refer to “Keyless entry system: Customer remote
control transmitter programming” on page 3-13.
