[For vehicles equipped with the keyless operation system].

For information on operations for vehicles equipped with the keyless operation system, refer to “keyless operation system : Electronic immobiliser (Anti-theft starting system)” on page 1-16.

[Except for vehicles equipped with the keyless operation system].

The electronic immobiliser is designed to reduce significantly the possibility of vehicle theft. The purpose of the system is to immobiliser the vehicle if an invalid start is attempted. A valid start attempt can only be achieved by using a key “registered” to the immobiliser system.

NOTE:
● In the following cases, the vehicle may not be able to receive the registered ID code from the registered key and the engine may not start. • 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 immobilizing keys (including keys of other vehicles). (Type C) In cases like these, remove the object or additional key from the vehicle key. Then try again to start the engine. If the engine does not start, contact an authorized MITSUBISHI MOTORS dealer.

● Two keys are provided. If you lose one of them, order a key from your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point as soon as possible. To obtain a replacement or extra spare key, take your vehicle and all remaining key to your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point. All the keys have to be re-registered in the immobiliser computer unit. The immobiliser can register up to 8 different keys.

CAUTION:
● Do not modify or add parts to the immobiliser system. Doing so could cause the immobiliser to malfunction.
