Security alarm system*
E00301500569
The
security alarm system is for alerting the sur-
rounding area of suspicious behaviour to prevent un-
lawful entry into the vehicle by operating an alarm
if a door, the tailgate or the bonnet is opened when
the vehicle has not been unlocked using the keyless
entry system or the keyless operation function.
Also, the alarm will be activated if any of the fol-
lowing occur.
l Attempt an unlawful moving of the vehicle.
(the vehicle inclination detection function)
l Detect a motion in the vehicle. (the interior
intrusion detection function)
l Disconnect the battery terminal.
The security alarm system is set to “active”.
When making changes to the settings, please fol-
low the procedure listed in the section titled “Chang-
ing the security alarm settings” on page 1-29.
On vehicles equipped with MITSUBISHI Multi-
Communication System (MMCS), screen opera-
tions can be used to make the adjustment. Refer to
the separate owner’s manual for details. CAUTION
l
Do
not modify or add parts to the securi-
ty alarm system.
Doing so could cause the security alarm
to malfunction. NOTE
l The

alarm system will not be activated if the
doors and the tailgate have been locked using
a key, the inside lock knob or the central
door lock switch (instead of the keyless entry
system or the keyless operation function).
l If the turn-signal lamps do not blink after the
locking and unlocking operation using the
keyless entry system or the keyless operation
function, the security alarm system may be
malfunctioning.
Have the vehicle inspected at a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point.
If the confirmation function (blinking of the
turn-signal lamps by locking and unlocking
the doors and the tailgate) is deactivated, the
turn-signal lamps do not blink after the lock-
ing and unlocking operation.
For information on the confirmation func-
tion, refer to “Keyless entry system” on pa-
ges 1-04, 1-18 and “To operate using the key-
less operation function” on page 1-09.
l The security alarm system could be activated
in the following situations.
• Using a car wash
• Taking the vehicle on a ferry
• Parking in an automated car park
• Leaving someone or a pet in the vehicle
• Leaving a window open
• Leaving an unstable object such as a stuf-fed toy or accessory in the vehicle
• Suffering a continuous impact or vibra- tion by hail, thunder, etc.
According to the situations, deactivate the ve-
hicle inclination detection function and the in-
terior intrusion detection function. Refer to “To
deactivate the vehicle inclina-
tion detection function and the interior intru-
sion detection function” on page 1-31.
l The sensitivity of the interior intrusion detec-
tion function can be adjusted. For details,
please contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point.
The security alarm has four modes:
System preparation mode (approx. 20 seconds)
(The buzzer sounds intermittently and the security
indicator (A) blinks.) The system preparation time extends from the
point

at which all of the doors and the tailgate are
locked by pressing the LOCK switch on the remote
control switch or the keyless operation function to
the point at which the system armed mode goes in-
to effect.
During this time, it is possible to temporarily open
a door or the tailgate without using the keyless en-
try system or the keyless operation function and
without causing the alarm to sound (for example,
when you forget something inside the vehicle or re-
alize that a window is open). Locking and unlocking
1-28

The buzzer will sound twice and the function will
be activated.
NOTE
l The
function will be activated again if the fol-
lowing operation is performed. • If the doors and the tailgate are unlockedusing the keyless entry system or the key-
less operation function.
• If the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” or “ACC” position (except for ve-
hicles equipped with the keyless opera-
tion system).
• If the operation mode is put in ON or ACC (vehicles with the keyless operation
system).
Cancelling the system E00301800490
The following methods can be used to cancel the
system

when it is in the system preparation mode
or the system armed mode.
l Pressing the UNLOCK switch on the remote
control switch. l
Turning
the ignition switch to the “ON” posi-
tion (except for vehicles equipped with the
keyless operation system).
l Putting the operation mode in ON (vehicles
equipped with the keyless operation system).
l Opening any one of the doors or the tailgate,
or inserting the key into the ignition switch
(except for vehicles equipped with the key-
less operation system) when the system is in
the system preparation mode.
l Holding the keyless operation key and press-
ing the driver’s or front passenger’s door lock/
unlock switch, or the tailgate OPEN switch
to unlock the doors and the tailgate (vehicles
equipped with the keyless operation system).
NOTE l If the bonnet is opened during the system prep-
aration mode, the system preparation condi-
tion is suspended.
The system returns to the system preparation
mode when the bonnet is closed.
l If the battery terminals are disconnected
while the system is in the system preparation
mode, the memory will be erased.
l It is possible to register up to 8 remote con-
trol switches for the keyless entry system
and 4 remote control switches for the keyless
operation system.
As long as they are registered, any of the re-
mote control switches, other than the one
used to activate the system, can be used to
cancel the system.
If you want to register additional remote con-
trol switches, please contact a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point. l
The activation distance for the keyless entry
system is approximately 4 m.
If it is not possible to lock or unlock the vehi-
cle by pressing the switch at the correct dis-
tance or the security alarm system cannot be
set or cancelled using the switch, the battery
may need to be replaced.
Replace the battery at a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
l If the UNLOCK switch on the remote con-
trol switch, or the driver’s or front passen-
ger’s door lock/unlock switch is pressed and
no door or the tailgate is opened within 30
seconds, the doors and the tailgate will auto-
matically relock. In this case as well, the sys-
tem preparation mode will go into effect.
l The time between pressing the UNLOCK
switch on the remote control switch, or the
driver’s or front passenger’s door lock/un-
lock switch and automatic locking can be ad-
justed. Consult a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.
On vehicles equipped with MITSUBISHI
Multi-Communication System (MMCS),
screen operations can be used to make the ad-
justment. Refer to the separate owner’s man-
ual for details.

Sunshade*
E00302800279WARNING
l Never leave a child (or other person who
might not be capable of safe operation of
the sunshade switch) in the vehicle alone.
l Before operating the sunshade, make
sure that nothing can be trapped (head,
hand, finger, etc.).
l Do not bring your head, hand, finger, etc.
near the opening edge of the sunshade re-
ceptacle while the vehicle is in motion.
It may cause injury to your head, hand,
finger, etc. in the event of sudden braking. CAUTION
l
Do
not place heavy luggage on the panor-
amic glass roof. Doing so could damage
the glass roof.
l Do not hang heavy luggage from, allow a
person to hang onto, or apply any other
strong force to the opening of the sun-
shade receptacle or the parts between the
ceiling and the sunshade opening on ei-
ther side. Doing so could damage the sun-
shade.
NOTE l Release

the switch as soon as the sunshade
reaches the fully open or fully closed position. l
If
the sunshade does not operate when the sun-
shade switch is operated, release the switch
and check whether something is trapped by
the sunshade. If nothing is trapped, we recom-
mend you to have the sunshade checked.
l Operating the sunshade repeatedly with the
engine stationary will run down the battery.
Operate the sunshade while the engine is run-
ning.
l Close the sunshade when parking the vehicle
for a long time. Parking in the hot sun with
the sunshade open will make the vehicle in-
side extremely hot.

head or hand near the sunshade when opening or
closing.
The opened sunshade will become operational after
a few seconds. CAUTION
l
The
safety mechanism is cancelled just be-
fore the sunshade is fully closed. This al-
lows the sunshade to close completely.
Therefore be especially careful that no fin-
gers are trapped in the sunshade.
NOTE l The

safety mechanism can be activated if the
driving conditions or other circumstances
cause the sunshade to be subjected to a phys-
ical shock similar to that caused by a trapped
hand or head. Locking and unlocking
