Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback, Owner'S Manual, Page: 59 / 433

If an unlawful opening of any of the doors, rear
hatch or bonnet is detected during the system
armed mode, the alarm will be activated to warn
people around the vehicle of an abnormal condition.
Also, if unlawful moving of the vehicle is attemp-
ted 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 ac-
tivation” on page 1-39.
NOTE
l The alarm will resume if unlawful actions
are taken again, even if the alarm has stopped.
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 1-39,
“Cancelling the alarm” on page 1-40.
NOTE
l When lending the vehicle to another person
or allowing the vehicle to be driven by some-
one 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 ve-
hicle, causing the alarm to sound, the alarm
would be a nuisance to people nearby.
Changing the security alarm settings
E00301600300
It is possible to set the security alarm to the “ac-
tive” mode or “inactive” mode.
Follow the procedure below.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” posi-
tion. If you started the engine with the key,
remove the key from the ignition switch.
2. Place the lamp switch in the “OFF” position,
and leave the driver’s door open.
3. Pull the windscreen wiper and washer switch
towards you and hold it there. (Since the igni-
tion switch is in the “LOCK” position, wash-
er fluid will not be sprayed.)
4. After approximately 10 seconds, the buzzer
will make a sound. Keep the windscreen wip-
er and washer switch pulled towards you. (If
the windscreen wiper and washer switch was
released, the setting change mode would be
cancelled. To start over, perform the proce-
dure again from step 3.)
5. When the buzzer stops, with the windscreen
wiper and washer switch still pulled towards
you, press the UNLOCK switch (A) on the re-
mote control switch to select the security
alarm settings mode.
