For information on operations for vehicles
equipped with the Free-hand Advanced Secu-

[Except for vehicles equipped with the Free-

(F.A.S.T.-key)]
The electronic immobilizer is designed to sig-
nificantly reduce the possibility of vehicle
theft. The purpose of the system is to immo-
bilize 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 immobilizer system.
All of the keys provided with your new vehi-
cle have been programmed to the vehicle’s
electronics.
• Keep away from devices that produce mag-
netism, such as audio systems, computers
and televisions.
• Keep away from devices that emit strong
electromagnetic waves, such as cellular
phones, wireless devices and high fre-
quency 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 humid-
ity.
 If you lose your key, to prevent the theft of
the vehicle immediately contact an autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
If you notify an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer of the key number, they can
make a new key. The key number is stamped
on the key number plate. Keep the key num-
ber 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 system)” on page 5-4.
Refer to “Free-hand Advanced Security
Transmitter (F.A.S.T.-key)”: “Electronic
immobilizer (Anti-theft starting system)” on
page 5-27.
NOTE
 When the theft-alarm is in the system opera-
tional status, the alarm operates if a door is
opened after using the key, the door lock
knob or the power door lock to unlock the
vehicle.

The system does not enter the preparation
status if the keyless entry system or the
F.A.S.T.-key operation was not used to lock
the vehicle.

NOTE
NOTE
 Do not attach additional keys or accessories
to the ignition key. Such objects could pre-
vent the driver’s knee airbag from inflating
normally. Refer to “Deployment of front air-
bags” on page 4-27.
 In the following cases, the vehicle may not
be able to recognize 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 “LOCK” position.
Then try to start the engine again. If the
engine does not start, contact an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
