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

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). System armed mode

security indicator continues to blink with the
indicator’s reduced lit-up duration time.)
Once the system preparation mode has ended, the
system armed mode starts.

or bonnet is detected during the system armed
mode, the alarm will be activated to warn people
around the vehicle of an abnormal condition.
Also, if unlawful moving of the vehicle is attemp-
ted or a vehicle intrusion is detected, the alarm will
be activated.

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

ty alarm system accidentally unlocked the ve-
hicle, causing the alarm to sound, the alarm
would be a nuisance to people nearby.
