NOTEElectronic immobilizer is not compatible with commer-
cially available remote starting systems. Use of commer-
cially available remote starting systems may result in
vehicle starting problems and a loss of security protection.
A system failure is suspected when the ignition key is
turned to the “START” position, and the engine does not
start. In such a case, contact an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer.Replacement keysOnly keys that have been programmed to the vehicle electron-
ics can be used to start the vehicle.
If you lose a key, you can order a key from your authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer by referring to the key number.
To prevent vehicle theft, the ID code for the vehicle keys must
be changed.
Take your vehicle and all remaining keys to your authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer to have your ID code changed.
Additional keysTo add a key, you need to register the ID code to the vehicle.
Registering the ID code can be done by your authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer. Or it can be done by yourself (except
for vehicles sold in Canada).
For you to register the ID code yourself, follow the “Customer
key programming” procedure below.
If you choose to have your authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer register the ID code, take your vehicle and any remain-
ing keys to your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.NOTEYou are provided with 2 keys, but you may add up to 6
more keys.Customer key programming (Except for vehicles
sold in Canada)You can program new keys to the system if you have two valid
(already registered) keys and blank (not registered) immobi-
lizer key (specially cut for your vehicle at your Mitsubishi
Motors dealer) by doing the following:
1. Insert the first valid key into the ignition and turn the igni-
tion to the “ON” position for 5 seconds.
2. Turn the ignition to the “LOCK” position and remove the
first key.
3. Within 30 seconds of turning the first key to the “LOCK”
position, insert the second valid key into the ignition and
turn it to the “ON” position. About 10 seconds later, the
immobilizer indicator will start blinking.
CAUTION
!Do not make any alterations or additions to the
immobilizer system. Alterations or additions could
cause failure of the immobilizer.

After completion of the steps above, the theft-alarm indicator
(A) will illuminate for approximately 20 seconds and keeps
blinking on and off, indicating that the system is armed.
NOTEThe system will be armed even if the engine hood is open,
but when the system is set, be sure that the engine hood is
locked.
The system will be disarmed if, while the theft-alarm indi-
cator (located in the front center of the dashboard) is illu-
minated, all doors and the rear hatch or trunk lid are
unlocked by remote control transmitter.
The system will be disarmed if, while the theft-alarm indi-
cator is illuminated, the ignition key is turned to the “ON”
or “ACC”.
The system will not be armed if a door is not completely
closed. If this happens, rearm the system as described
above.
The trunk lid can only be opened by remote control trans-
mitter without triggering or disarming the system even
after the system has been armed. When it is closed, the
system will be rearmed.
The driver should not arm the system until first confirm-
ing that all passengers have left the vehicle. If the driver
arms the system with passenger(s) in the vehicle, the
alarm may be activated when the passenger(s) open the
door.

3Power windows
N00510800338
In an ECLIPSE SPYDER, operating a power window switch
causes the door window and quarter window to move together.
However, within about 4 inches from the fully closed position,
only the door window moves without accompanying the quar-
ter window.
NOTEDepending on the position of the door window, the door
window may briefly stop then continue moving before
reaching the fully closed position.
Never try to operate the main switch and sub switch in dif-
ferent directions at the same time. This will freeze the
window in position.
Operating the power windows repeatedly with the engine
stopped will run down the battery. Use the window
switches only while the engine is running. NOTEIf a power window stops moving during operation due to a
drop in the battery voltage, it may not automatically return
to normal operability when the battery has been charged.
In this event, take the following corrective action:
With the door closed, pull up the power window switch to
fully close the window. After releasing the switch, pull it
up again for approximately 1 second. Normal opening and
closing of the window will then be possible.
1- Open (down)
2- Close (up)
WA R N I N G
!Before operating the power windows, make sure
that nothing can be trapped (head, hands, fingers,
etc.) in the window. Never leave the vehicle without removing the key. Never leave a child alone in the vehicle.

NOTEWhen leaving the vehicle unattended, be sure to close the
sunroof and remove the ignition key.
Do not try to operate the sunroof if it is frozen closed
(after snowfall or during extreme cold).
Do not sit on or place heavy luggage on the sunroof or
roof opening edge.
Do not apply any force that may cause damage to the
sunroof.
Release the switch when the sunroof has reached a com-
pletely open or completely closed position.
If the sunroof does not operate when the sunroof switch is
operated, release the switch and check whether something
is trapped by the sunroof. If nothing is trapped, have the
sunroof checked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer.
Be careful when tilting up the sunroof if a ski carrier or a
roof carrier is installed. Depending on the model of ski
carrier or roof carrier, the sunroof may contact the carrier
when the sunroof is tilted up.
Be sure to close the sunroof completely when washing the
vehicle or when leaving the vehicle.Do not put any wax on the weatherstrip (black rubber)
around the sunroof opening. If it is waxed, the
weatherstrip cannot maintain a weatherproof seal with the
sunroof.
After washing the vehicle or after it has rained, wipe off
any water that is on the sunroof before operating it.
Operating the sunroof repeatedly with the engine turned
off will run down the battery. Operate the sunroof only
while the engine is running.
WA R N I N G
!Do not stick your head, hands or anything else in the
sunroof opening. Before operating the sunroof, make sure that noth-
ing can be trapped (head, hands, fingers, etc.).Never leave a child (or other person who is incapa-
ble of safely operating the sunroof switch) alone in
the vehicle.

The top can be opened and closed using the switches. The top
moves only while a switch is being pushed.NOTEIf the OPEN switch and CLOSE switch are both pushed at
the same time, the operation indicator lamp will flash
slowly (approximately one flashes per second) and a tone
will sound intermittently and rapidly (approximately three
per second) to indicate that the top is not going to work.
To operate the top, release the switches and push the rele-
vant switch again.If the switches are continuously pushed one after the
other, a protection circuit may operate, making the electric
convertible top temporarily inoperable. In this event, the
operation indicator lamp will flash slowly (approximately
one flash per second) and a tone will sound intermittently
(approximately three times per second). Wait about 7 min-
utes, then try operating the electric convertible top again.
To open the top
N00505200031
1. Without obstructing traffic, stop the vehicle on a level,
firm surface where the top can be safely operated.
2. Securely apply the parking brake. If the vehicle has an
automatic transaxle, place the selector lever in the “P”
(PARK) position. If the vehicle has a manual transaxle,
place the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral) position.NOTEThe top can be operated with the selector lever of an auto-
matic transaxle in a position other than “P” (PARK) and
with the gearshift lever of a manual transaxle in a position
other than “N” (Neutral). For safety, however, you should
place the selector lever or gearshift lever (as relevant) in
the indicated position and apply the parking brake.
3. Start the engine.NOTEOperating the top without the engine running can drain the
battery. To avoid a dead battery, operate the top with the
engine running.

NOTEDuring operation of the top, if the switch is released
before the top has fully closed or retracted, the top will
stop moving and the operation indicator lamp will flash
slowly (approximately one flash per second).
If operation of the top is stopped for more than 4 minutes
before it has fully closed or retracted, the top (depending
on its location) will slowly move toward the closed or
retracted position. During this time, the operation indica-
tor lamp will flash rapidly (approximately two flashes per
second) and the top switch will be inoperable. When the
operation indicator lamp stops flashing (approximately 2
minutes later), the top switch will again become operable.
The operation indicator lamp is illuminated while the top
is moving.
When the OPEN switch is pushed, the door windows and
quarter windows automatically open fully before the top
starts moving.
If the CLOSE switch is pushed when the top is fully
closed, the operation indicator lamp flashes slowly
