KeysEF21A - Gb
Two keys are provided and they fit all locks.
Keep one in a safe place as a spare key.
To h e l p prevent theft, your keys feature a
unique, hard - to - duplicate design. Also, your
vehicle’s locks are designed to prevent
opening by any means other than using your
own key.Ta k e care not to lose your keys or lock them
inside your vehicle.
To prevent your key number becoming
known to others, it is stamped on removable
key number tag rather than on the key itself.
Keep your key number tag in a safe place,
separate from your keys.
NOTE
(1) Replacement keys for your vehicle can
be made only by an authorized MITSU-
BISHI dealer. Give the dealer your key
number in the event that the original
keys are lost.
(2) The engine is designed so that it will not
turn over if the ID code registered in the
immobilizer computer and the key’s ID
code do not match. Refer to the section
entitled “Electronic immobilizer” for de-
tails and key usage.
(3) Keys should never be placed in areas
which contain magnetic or metal objects
as this may interfere with the transpon-
der.
Electronic immobilizer
(Anti-theft starting system)
EF11C-Vd
The electronic immobilizer is designed to re-
duce significantly the possibility of vehicle
theft. The purpose of the system is to im-
mobilize the vehicule if an invalid start is at-
tempted. A valid start attempt can only be
achieved (subject to certain conditions),
using a key “registered” to the immobilizer
system.

LOCKING AND UNLOCKING

NOTE
(1)In the following cases the vehicle may
not be able to receive the registered ID
code from the key. This means the en-
gine will not start even when the regis-
tered key is turned to the “START”
position.

When the key contacts a key ring
or other metallic or magnetic object
(Type A)

When the key grip contacts metal
of another key (Type B)

When the key contacts another
immobilizing key, or some other
transponder (Type C)
In cases like these, remove the object
or additional key from the vehicle key
and turn the key back to the “ACC” or
“LOCK” position. Then try again to
start the engine.
If the engine does not start, consult an
authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.
(2) Be careful not to damage the key with a
cutter etc. since there is a transponder
inside the key.(3) Two keys are provided.
If you lose one of them, order a key from
your authorized MITSUBISHI dealer as
soon as possible.
To o b t a i n a key, take your vehicle and
any remaining keys to your authorized
MITSUBISHI dealer.
If you need an extra spare key, take
your vehicle and ALL the keys to your
authorized MITSUBISHI dealer. Be-
cause all the keys have to be re-regis-
tered in the immobilizer computer unit.
The immobilizer allows up to 8 different
ID codes to be registered; you can pos-
sess a maximum of 8 keys.
CAUTION
Don’t make any alterations or addi-
tions to the immobilizer system; any
alterations or additions could cause
failure of the immobilizer.
