attempt can only be achieved (subject to certain con-
ditions) using a keyless operation system “regis-
tered” to the immobilizer system.
All of the keys provided with your new vehicle
have been programmed into the vehicle’s electron-
ics. Refer to “Engine switch” on page 1-11. NOTE
l If

you lose one of the keyless operation keys,
contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Author-
ized 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 4 differ-
ent keys.
