Mitsubishi MOTORS Outlander PHEV 2016, Owner'S Manual, Page: 87 / 490

The security alarm has four
modes:
System preparation mode (ap-
prox. 20 seconds)
(The buzzer sounds intermittently and the se-
curity indicator (A) blinks.)
The system preparation time extends from
the point at which all of the doors and the
tailgate are locked by pressing the LOCK
switch on the remote control switch or the
keyless operation function to the point at
which the system armed mode goes into ef-
fect.
During this time, it is possible to temporarily
open a door or the tailgate without using the
keyless entry system or the keyless operation
function and without causing the alarm to
sound (for example, when you forget some-
thing inside the vehicle or realize that a win-
dow is open).
System armed mode
(The buzzer stops and the security indicator
continues to blink with the indicator’s re-
duced lit-up duration time.)
Once the system preparation mode has ended,
the system armed mode starts.
If an unlawful opening of any of the doors,
tailgate or bonnet is detected during the sys-
tem armed mode, the alarm will be activated
to warn people around the vehicle of an ab-
normal condition.
Also, if unlawful moving of the vehicle is at-
tempted or a vehicle intrusion is detected, the
alarm will be activated.
Alarm activation
The turn-signal lamps blink and the siren
sounds for approximately 30 seconds.
Refer to “Alarm activation” on page 4-33.
NOTE
l The alarm will resume if unlawful actions
are taken again, even if the alarm has stop-
ped.
System cancellation
It is possible to cancel the system activation
during the system preparation mode or the
system armed mode.
In addition, it is possible to cancel the alarm
once it has been activated.
Refer to “Cancelling the system” on page
4-32, “Cancelling the alarm” on page 4-33.
NOTE
l When lending the vehicle to another person
or allowing the vehicle to be driven by
someone who is unfamiliar with the security
alarm system, be sure to give the person a
proper explanation of the security alarm sys-
tem.
If a person who is unfamiliar with the securi-
ty alarm system accidentally unlocked the
vehicle, causing the alarm to sound, the
alarm would be a nuisance to people nearby.
