NOTE
The keyless entry key and F.A.S.T.-key are a precision
electronic device with a built-in signal 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 rings.
• 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 3-28.

When the theft-alarm is in the system operational status,
the alarm operates if a door or liftgate is opened after
using the key, the door lock knob or the power door lock
switch to unlock the vehicle.

The system does not enter the preparation status if the
keyless entry system or the F.A.S.T.-key was not used to
lock the vehicle.

system)
N00509100780
[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-
28.
[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.
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 immobilizer
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
“OFF” position. Then try to start the engine again. If the
engine does not start, contact an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer.

NOTE
The key may not operate properly when it is near an
object or facility that emits strong electromagnetic waves.

Electronic 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 switch 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’s elec-
tronics 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 must already have 2 registered keys. You
need to register the ID code to the vehicle.
CAUTION
!
Do not make any alterations or additions to the
immobilizer system. Alterations or additions could
cause failure of the immobilizer.
