Keys

1- Master key (Black)
2- Sub key (Grey)
Three keys are provided. Two of them are
master keys and the third is a sub key.
The master keys fit all locks. Keep one in
a safe place as a spare key.
The sub key fits all locks except the glove
box.NOTE
(1) The key number is stamped on the tag
as indicated in the illustration.
Make a record of the key number and
store the key and key number tag in
separate places, so that you can order
a key from your authorized MITSUB-
ISHI dealer in the event the original
keys are lost.
(2) As your vehicle is equipped with an
electronic immobilizer, the engine is
designed so that it will not start if the ID
code registered in the immobilizer com-
puter and the key’s ID code do not
match. Refer to the section entitled
“Electronic immobilizer” for details and
key usage.
(3) Keys should never be placed in areas
which contain magnetic or metal
objects as this may interfere with the
transponder.
Electronic immobilizer
(Anti-theft starting system)
EF11C-Pa
The electronic immobilizer is designed to
reduce significantly 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 conditions),
using a key “registered” to the immobi-
lizer system.

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 reg-
istered 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
immobilizing key, or some other tran-
sponder (Type C)
In cases like these, remove the object
or additional key from the vehicle 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 transpon-
der inside the key.(3) Three keys are provided.
If you lose one of them, order a key
from your authorized MITSUBISHI
dealer as soon as possible.
To obtain a key, take your vehicle and
any remaining keys to your autho-
rized 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 immo-
bilizer allows up to 8 different ID codes
to be registered; you can possess a
maximum of 8 keys.
CAUTION
Do not make any alterations or addi-
tions to the immobilizer system; alter-
ations or additions could cause
failure of the immobilizer.

(3) For vehicles equipped with the Day-
time Running Lamp, when the igni-
tion switch is“ON”, the headlamp low
beams etc. are turned on.
Refer to“Headlamps”.
(4) As your vehicle is equipped with an
electronic immobilizer, to start the
engine, the ID code which the tran-
sponder inside the key sends must
match the one registered to the immo-
bilizer computer. (Refer to page 2-2).
CAUTION
(1) Do not remove the ignition key
from the ignition switch while
driving. The steering wheel will
be locked, causing loss of con-
trol.
(2) If the engine is stopped while
driving, the brake servomecha-
nism will cease to function and
braking efficiency will deterio-
rate. Also, power steering sys-
tem will not function and it will
require greater manual effort to
operate the steering.
(3) Do not leave the key in the“ON”
position for a long time when the
engine is not running; doing so
will cause the battery to be dis-
charged.
(4) Do not turn the key to the
“START”position when the
engine is running; doing so
could damage the starter motor.

How to lock and unlock the steer-
ing wheel
EI01B-K
To lock
Remove the key at the“LOCK”position.
Turn the steering wheel until it is locked.
To unlock
Turn the key to the“ACC”position while
moving the steering wheel slightly.
CAUTION
Remove the key when leaving the
vehicle.
NOTE
If the front wheels are turned, the anti-theft
lock may sometimes make it difficult to turn
the key from“LOCK”to“ACC”. Firmly turn
the steering wheel to the left or to the right
as you turn the key.
Starting
EI02FOH
Tips for starting(1) Do not operate the starter motor con-
tinuously for anything longer than 10
seconds; doing so could run down the
battery. If the engine does not start, turn
the ignition switch back to“LOCK”, wait
a few seconds, and then try again.
Trying repeatedly with the starter motor
still turning will damage the starter
mechanism.
(2) If the engine cannot be started because
the battery is weak or dead, refer to the
“Emergency starting”section for
instructions on starting the engine.
(3) The engine is well warmed up if the
coolant temperature gauge needle
starts to move (the engine speed
decreases). Extended warming-up
operation will result in excessive fuel
consumption.
WARNING
Never run the engine in a closed or
poorly ventilated area any longer
than is needed to move your vehicle
in or out the area. Carbon monox-
ide gases are odorless and can be
fatal.
