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.

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.

• 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-

one who is unfamiliar with the security
alarm system, be sure to give the person a
proper explanation of the security alarm sys-
