SECURITY SYSTEMS
Your vehicle has two types of security systems, as follows:
- Anti-theft alarm system
- Anti-theft immobilizer
ANTI-THEFT ALARM SYSTEM
The anti-theft alarm system provides visual and audio alarm signals if someone opens the doors, hood, and liftgate when the system is armed. It is not, however, a motion detection type system that activates when a vehicle is moved or when a vibration occurs.
The system helps deter vehicle theft but cannot prevent it, nor can it prevent the theft of interior or exterior vehicle components in all situations. Always secure your vehicle even if parking for a brief period. Never leave your keys in the vehicle, and always lock it when unattended. Be aware of your surroundings, and park in secure, well-lit areas whenever possible.
How to arm the anti-theft alarm system
- Close all windows. The system can be armed even if the windows are open.
- Remove the keys from the vehicle.
- Close all doors, hood, and liftgate. Lock all doors. The doors can be locked with an F.A.S. T.-key, door handle request switch (if so equipped), or liftgate request switch (if so equipped).
Even when the driver and/or passengers are in the vehicle, the system will activate with all the doors, hood, and liftgate locked with the power switch placed in the LOCK position. When placing the power switch in the ON position, the system will be released.
Anti-theft alarm system activation
The anti-theft alarm system will give the following alarm:
- The headlights blink and the horn sounds intermittently.
- The alarm automatically turns off after approximately 30 seconds. However, the alarm reactivates if the vehicle is tampered with again.
The alarm is activated by:
- opening any doors, the hood, or the liftgate without using the F.A.S.T. key (even if the door is unlocked by releasing the door inside lock knob).
How to stop an activated alarm
The alarm stops only by unlocking a door or the liftgate by pressing the UNLOCK button on the F.A.S.T.-key, or pushing the request switch (if so equipped) on the driver’s or passenger’s door in range of the door handle. The alarm also stops when the power switch is placed in the ON position.
ANTI-THEFT IMMOBILIZER
CAUTION
Do not make any alterations or additions to the immobilizer system. Alterations or additions could cause the failure of the immobilizer.
The anti-theft immobilizer will not allow the Plug-in Hybrid EV System to start without the use of the registered key.
If the Plug-in Hybrid EV System does not start using the registered F.A.S.T.-key, it may be due to interference caused by:
- Another F.A.S.T.-key.
- Automated toll road device.
- Automated payment device.
- Other devices that transmit similar signals. Start the Plug-in Hybrid
EV System using the following procedure:
- Remove any items that may be causing the interference away from the F.A.S.T. key.
- Start the Plug-in Hybrid EV System again.
If this procedure allows the Plug-in Hybrid EV System to start, Mitsubishi Motors recommends placing the registered F.A.S.T.-key separate from other devices to avoid interference.
NOTE:
- The key may not operate properly when it is near an object or facility that emits strong electromagnetic waves.
- The anti-theft immobilizer is not compatible with commercially available remote starting systems. The use of commercially available remote starting systems may result in vehicle starting problems and a loss of security protection.
