MITSUBISHI L200 2004 (in English) Owner's Guide

LOCKING AND UNLOCKING
(3) If you lose your keys, order a key from
your authorized MITSUBISHI dealer
as soon as possible.
To obtain a key, take your vehicle and
any remaining key to your authorized
MITSUBISHI dealer.
If you need an extra spare key, take
your vehicle and ALL the keys to your
authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.
All the keys have to be re-registered
in the immobilizer computer unit.
The immobilizer allows up to 8 differ-
ent ID codes to be registered; you can
possess a maximum of 8 keys.
CAUTIONDo not make any alterations or addi-
tions to the immobilizer system, al-
terations or additions could cause
failure of the immobilizer.
NOTE
(1) In the following cases the vehicle may
not be able to receive the registered
ID code from the key. This means the
engine will not start even when the
registered 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 im-
mobilizing key, or some other
transponder (Type C)
In cases like these, remove the above
object from the 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
.
