• Keep away from audio systems, personal computers,
TVs, and any other equipment that generates a magnetic
field.
• Do not wash with ultrasonic cleaners or similar equip-
ment.
• Do not leave the key where it may be exposed to high
temperature or high humidity.

The engine is designed so that it will not start if the ID
code registered in the immobilizer computer and the key’s
ID code do not match. Refer to the section entitled “Elec-
tronic immobilizer” for details and key usage.
Keys should never be placed in areas which contain mag-
netic or metal objects as this may interfere with the trans-
ponder.
Electronic immobilizer
(Anti-theft starting system)
E00300201003
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 condi-
tions), using a key “registered” to the immobilizer system.
NOTE
●
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 registered 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 immobilizing
keys (including keys of other vehicles) (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, we recommend you to con-
tact your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point.
