3Break-in recommendations
N00508700330
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 sudden starts, sudden accel-
eration, prolonged high-speed driving and sudden brak-
ing. 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
shift position (low gears).

Do not overload the vehicle. Stay within the seating
capacity. (Refer to “Cargo load precautions” on page 4-
12.)

Do not use this vehicle for trailer towing.

Ty p e 2Two F.A.S.T.-keys and two emergency keys are provided.
Keep one F.A.S.T.-key and one emergency key in a safe place
together as a set of spare keys.
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 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 3-4.
Refer to “Free-hand Advanced Security Transmitter
(F.A.S.T.-key): “Electronic immobilizer (Anti-theft start-
ing system)” on page 3-30.

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.

keyless entry system or the F.A.S.T.-key was not used to
lock the vehicle.
Electronic immobilizer (Anti-theft starting
system)
N00509100748
[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-
30.
[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.

4. When the immobilizer display starts blinking, turn the
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 switch and turn it to the “ON”
position. Perform this operation no more than 30 seconds
after the immobilizer display starts blinking. When regis-
tration of the ID code is complete, the immobilizer display
will come on for 3 seconds then go off. If an error occurs,
the immobilizer display will go off during the procedure.NOTE
When the key registration is completed, the immobilizer
display will come on within 30 seconds of turning the
ignition switch to the “ON” position with the blank immo-
bilizer key (specially cut for your vehicle at your Mitsub-
ishi Motors dealer).
5. If you wish to register another key, perform the process
again from step 1.NOTE
Perform the operation when the interrupt display screen is
not showing. The interrupt display screen may prevent
you from seeing the immobilizer display.

It is not possible to register a key if:
• the immobilizer display goes off during the procedure
• the immobilizer display does not come on within 30 sec-
onds after step 4.

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
is turned to the “ON” position

To use the new remote control transmitters, it is necessary
to register the key with both the electronic immobilizer
and keyless entry system.
Also refer to “Keyless entry system: Customer remote
control transmitter programming” on page 3-11.
