The following methods can be used to cancel
the system when it is in the system prepara-
tion mode or the system armed mode.
Pressing the UNLOCK switch on the key.
Putting the operation mode in ON.
Opening any one of the doors or the tail-
gate, when the system is in the system
preparation mode.
Holding the keyless operation key and
pressing the driver’s or front passenger’s
door lock/unlock switch, or pulling the
tailgate handle lever to unlock the doors
and the tailgate.
NOTE
The system preparation mode is not activated
when the doors and the tailgate have been
locked using a method other than the keyless
entry system, the keyless operation function
or the close and lock function (namely a key,
the inside lock knob or the central door lock
switch).
If the security indicator lamp in the instru-
ment cluster does not blink after the locking
operation using the keyless entry system or
the keyless operation function, the security
alarm system may be malfunctioning.
Have the vehicle inspected at an authorised
MITSUBISHI MOTORS dealer.
NOTE
The security alarm system can be activated
when people are riding inside the vehicle or
when the windows are open. To prevent acci-
dental activation of the alarm, do not set the
system to the system armed mode while peo-
ple are riding in the vehicle.
Avoid leaving valuable items inside the vehi-
cle even when the security alarm system has
been set to the “active” mode.
Cancelling the system
NOTE
If the battery terminals are disconnected
while the system is in the system preparation
mode, the memory will be erased.
It is possible to register up to 4 keys.
As long as they are registered, any of the
keys, other than the one used to activate the
system, can be used to cancel the system.
If you want to register additional keys,
please contact an authorised MITSUBISHI
MOTORS dealer.
The activation distance for keyless entry sys-
tem is approximately 4 m.
If it is not possible to lock or unlock the
vehicle by pressing the switch at the correct
distance or the security alarm system cannot
be set or cancelled using the switch, the bat-
tery may need to be replaced.
Replace the battery at your authorised
MITSUBISHI MOTORS dealer.
If you replace the battery yourself, refer to
“Procedure for replacing the key battery” on
page 3-5.
If the UNLOCK switch on the key, or the
driver’s or front passenger’s door
lock/unlock switch is pressed and no door or
the tailgate is opened within 30 seconds, the
doors and the tailgate will automatically
relock. In this case as well, the system prepa-
ration mode will go into effect.
