NOTE
When you transfer ownership of the vehicle to another
person, we urge you to alert the new owner that it is
equipped with the SRS and refer that owner to the applica-
ble sections in this owner’s manual.

If you decide to junk or scrap your vehicle, we urge you to
first take it to an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer so
that the SRS can be made safe for disposal.

If any of the following parts needs to be modified for use
by a handicapped person, the advanced airbag system will
be greatly affected. Please consult an authorized Mitsub-
ishi Motors dealer for assistance.
• Driver’s seat
• Front passenger seat
• Front seat belt
• Steering wheel
• Instrument panel
Do not modify your front seats, center pillar or cen-
ter console. Such modifications can adversely affect
SRS performance and may lead to injury.
Also, if you discover any tear or open seam in the
seat fabric near the side airbag, have the seat
inspected by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer.
If you find a crack in or damage to the front pillar,
rear pillar, or roof side rail where the curtain airbag
is located, have the SRS inspected by an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer.

N00508700297
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. For vehicles with turbocharger,
do not exceed 5,000 rpm for the first 600 miles (1,000
km).

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).

Do not use this vehicle for trailer towing.

NOTE
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.
• Keep away from devices that emit strong electromag-
netic waves, such as cellular phones, wireless devices
and high frequency equipment (including medical
devices).
• Do not clean with ultrasonic cleaners.
• Do not leave the key where it may be exposed to high
temperature or high humidity.

If you lose your key, to prevent the theft of the vehicle
immediately contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer.
If you notify an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer of
the key number, they can make a new key. The key num-
ber is stamped on the key number plate. Keep the key
number plate in a safe place separate from the key itself.
No keys other than those registered in advance can be
used to start the engine.
Refer to “Electronic immobilizer (Anti-theft starting sys-
tem)” on page 3-5.
Refer to “Free-hand Advanced Security Transmitter
(F.A.S.T.-key)”: “Electronic immobilizer (Anti-theft start-
ing system)” on page 3-41.

3 Electronic immobilizer (Anti-theft starting
system)
N00509100689
[For vehicles equipped with the Free-hand Advanced Security
Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key)]
For information on operations for vehicles equipped with the
Free-hand Advanced Security Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key), refer
to “Free-hand Advanced Security Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key)”:
“Electronic immobilizer (Anti-theft starting system)” on page
3-41.[Except for vehicles equipped with the Free-hand Advanced
Security Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key)]
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.
