Lock System set, it is not possible to unlock the doors using the inside lock knobs. If you
erroneously set the Dead Lock System, un-
lock the doors using the UNLOCK switch on the remote control switch or using the
keyless operation function.Setting the system

CAUTIONlWhen driving with a child in the rear seat,
please use the child protection to prevent ac-
cidental door opening which may cause an accident.Tailgate
E00301402461WARNINGlThe luggage compartment was not de-
signed for people to ride in it. Do not let
passengers ride in or let children play in
the luggage compartment. Riding or play- ing in the luggage compartment could re-
sult in a serious accident.
l It is dangerous to drive with the tailgate
open, since carbon monoxide (CO) gas
contained in engine exhaust gases can en- ter the cabin.
You cannot see or smell CO. It can cause
unconsciousness and even death.
In addition, if the tailgate opens when
driving, luggage could fall onto the road and cause an accident.
l When opening and closing the tailgate,
make sure that there are no people near-
by and that there is sufficient space be-
hind and above the vehicle. In addition, be careful not to hit your head or pinch
your hands, neck, etc.WARNINGl When there is a build up of snow or ice, it
should be removed before opening the tailgate. If you open the tailgate without
removing it, there is a possibility that the tailgate may close suddenly due to theweight of that snow or ice.
l When you open the tailgate make sure
that the tailgate is opened fully and re- mains fully open. If you only open the tail-
gate halfway there is a risk that the tail- gate may drop and slam shut. If you open
the tailgate while your vehicle is parked on an incline it is more difficult to do so than on the flat and also it may drop and
slam shut.CAUTIONl Do not stand behind the exhaust pipe when
loading and unloading luggage. The heat
from the exhaust could lead to burns.
l To avoid damage to the tailgate, make sure
the area above and behind the tailgate is
clear before opening it.NOTEl Locking/unlocking with the central door
lock switch, the keyless entry system, or the
keyless operation function also locks/ unlocks the tailgate.To open
After unlocking, press the tailgate OPEN
switch (A) and lift the tailgate.
NOTEl If you do not open the tailgate immediately
after pressing the tailgate OPEN switch, thetailgate can not be lifted. If this happens, press the tailgate OPEN switch again and lift
the tailgate.
l The tailgate cannot be opened when the bat-
tery is flat or disconnected.

E00301500891
The security alarm system is for alerting thesurrounding area of suspicious behaviour to
prevent unlawful entry into the vehicle by op- erating 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
following occur.
l Attempt an unlawful moving of the vehi-
cle. (the vehicle inclination detection function)
l Detect a motion in the vehicle. (the inte-
rior intrusion detection function)
l Disconnect the battery terminal.
The security alarm system is set to “active”.
When making changes to the settings, please
follow the procedure listed in the section ti- tled “Changing the security alarm settings”
on page 3-34.
CAUTIONl Do not modify or add parts to the security
alarm system.
Doing so could cause the security alarm to malfunction.NOTEl The alarm system will not be activated if the
doors and the tailgate have been locked us-ing a key, the inside lock knob or the central
door lock switch (instead of the keyless en- try system or the keyless operation func-
tion).
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 Serv-
ice 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 3-04 , 3-21 and “To operate using the
keyless operation function” on page 3-10.

NOTE•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
vehicle inclination detection function and the interior intrusion detection function.
Refer to “To deactivate the vehicle inclina-
tion detection function and the interior intru- sion detection function” on page 3-37.
l The sensitivity of the interior intrusion de-

please contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS
Authorized Service Point.The security alarm has four
modes:
System preparation mode (ap- prox. 20 seconds)
(The buzzer sounds intermittently and the se-curity indicator (A) blinks.)
The system preparation time extends fromthe 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 into ef- fect.
During this time, it is possible to temporarily
open a door or the tailgate without using the
keyless entry system or the keyless operation function and without causing the alarm tosound (for example, when you forget some-
thing inside the vehicle or realize that a win- dow is open).
System armed mode
(The 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.
If an unlawful opening of any of the doors, tailgate or bonnet is detected during the sys-
tem armed mode, the alarm will be activated to warn people around the vehicle of an ab-
normal condition.
Also, if unlawful moving of the vehicle is at-
tempted or a vehicle intrusion is detected, the alarm will be activated.
Alarm activation
The turn-signal lamps blink and the siren sounds for approximately 30 seconds.
Refer to “Alarm activation” on page 3-38.
