3Break-in recommendations
N00508700255
Advanced automobile manufacturing techniques permit you to
operate your new vehicle without requiring a long break-in
period of low-speed driving.
However, you can add to the future performance and economy
of your vehicle by observing the following precautions during
the first 300 miles (500 km).
Drive your vehicle at moderate speeds during the break-in
period.

Avoid revving the engine.

Avoid rough driving such as fast starts, sudden accelera-
tion, prolonged high-speed driving and sudden braking.
These would have a detrimental effect on the engine and
also cause increased fuel and oil consumption, which
could result in malfunction of the engine components. Be
particularly careful to avoid full acceleration while in low
gear.

Do not overload the vehicle. Observe the seating capacity
(See “Cargo load precautions” on page 4-12).

Refrain from towing a trailer or other vehicle (See
“Trailer towing” on page 4-15).

NOTE
The key number (A) is stamped on the key number plate
as shown in the illustration.
Make a record of the key number and store the key and
key number plate in separate places, so that you can order
a key from your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer if
the original keys are lost.

The key is a precision electronic device with a built-in sig-
nal transmitter. Please observe the following in order to
prevent damage.
• Do not leave where it may be exposed to heat caused by
direct sunlight, such as on top of the dashboard.
• Do not take the remote control transmitter apart.
• Do not excessively bend the key or subject it to strong
impacts.
• Keep the remote control transmitter dry.
• Keep away from magnetic objects such as key holders.
• Keep away from devices that produce magnetism, such
as audio systems, computers and televisions.
• Do not clean with ultrasonic cleaners.
• Do not leave the key where it may be exposed to high
temperature or high humidity.

As your vehicle is equipped with an electronic immobi-
lizer, the engine is designed so that it will not start 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 details and key usage.
Electronic immobilizer (Anti-theft starting
system)
N00509100618
The electronic immobilizer is designed to significantly reduce
the possibility of vehicle theft. The purpose of the system is to
immobilize the vehicle if an invalid start is attempted. A valid
start attempt can only be achieved (subject to certain condi-
tions), using a key “registered” to the immobilizer system.
All of the keys provided with your new vehicle have been pro-
grammed to the vehicle’s electronics.

NOTE
In the following cases, the vehicle may not be able to rec-
ognize the registered ID code from the key. This means
the engine will not start even when the 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 or is close to other immobilizing
keys (including keys of other vehicles) (Type C)

In cases like the above, move the offending object(s) away
from the key and turn the key back to the “ACC” or
“LOCK” position. Then try to start the engine again. If the
engine does not start, contact an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer.

NOTE
Electronic immobilizer is not compatible with remote
starting systems. Use of these systems may result in vehi-
cle 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 the 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 Mit-
subishi 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.NOTE
You 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 2 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.

second valid key to the “LOCK” position and remove it.
Within 30 seconds after doing so, insert a blank immobi-
lizer key into the ignition and turn it to the “ON” position.

immobilizer indicator starts blinking. When registration
of the ID code is complete, the immobilizer indicator will
come on for 3 seconds then go off. If an error occurs, the
immobilizer indicator will go off during the procedure.
5. If you wish to register another key, perform the process
again from step 1.
NOTE
It is not possible to register a key if:
• the immobilizer indicator goes off during the procedure
• the immobilizer indicator does not come on for 3 sec-
onds after turning the ignition to the “ON” position with
a blank immobilizer key

The procedure will be terminated automatically if:
• a period of 30 seconds or longer elapses from the
moment when the first key is turned to the “LOCK”
position to the moment when the second key is turned to
the “ON” position
• a period of 30 seconds or longer elapses from the
moment when the second key is turned to the “LOCK”
position to the moment when the blank immobilizer key
(specially cut for your vehicle at your Mitsubishi Motors
dealer) is turned to the “ON” position
• more than 30 seconds elapse after the immobilizer indi-
cator starts blinking
