Electronic immobilizer (Anti-theft starting system)
The electronic immobilizer has been designed to significantly reduce 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 conditions) using a keyless operation system “registered” to the immobilizer system.
All of the keys provided with your new vehicle have been programmed into the vehicle’s electronics.
Refer to “Keyless operation system: Ignition switch” on pages 1-11 and 1-18.
Note
► If you lose one of the keyless operation keys, contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point as soon as possible.
To obtain a replacement or extra spare key, take your vehicle and all remaining keys to your MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service Point. All the keys have to be re-registered in the immobilizer computer unit.
The immobilizer can register up to 4 different keys.
Ignition switch
To prevent vehicle theft, only the emergency key with the preregistered keyless operation key inserted can start the engine. (Electronic immobilizer function) Also refer to “Starting and driving: Starting the engine” on pages 4-15, 4-16.
LOCK
The engine is stopped and the steering wheel locked. The emergency key can be inserted and removed in this position.
ACC
The engine is stopped, but the audio system and other electric devices can be operated.
