Replacement Keys; Additional Keys - Mitsubishi i-MiEV 2017 Owner's Manual

NOTE
 In the following cases, the vehicle may not
be able to recognize the registered ID code
from the key. This means the electric motor
unit will not start even when the registered
key is turned to the "START" position.
• When the key contacts a key ring or other
metallic or magnetic object
• When the key grip contacts metal of
another key
NOTE
• When the key contacts or is close to other
immobilizing keys (including keys of other
vehicles)
 In cases like the above, move the offending
object(s) away from the key and turn the key
back to the "ACC" or "LOCK" position.
Then try to start the electric motor unit again.
If the electric motor unit does not start, con-
tact a certified i-MiEV dealer.
 Electronic immobilizer is not compatible
with commercially available remote starting
systems. Use of commercially available
remote starting systems may result in vehicle
starting problems and a loss of security pro-
tection.
 A system failure is suspected when the elec-
tric motor switch is turned to the "START"
position, and the electric motor unit does not
start. In such a case, contact a certified i-
MiEV dealer.
Electronic immobilizer (Anti-theft starting system)
CAUTION
 Do not make any alterations or additions to
the immobilizer system. Alterations or addi-
tions could cause failure of the immobilizer.

Replacement keys

Only keys that have been programmed to the
vehicle electronics can be used to start the
vehicle.
If you lose a key, you can order a key from a
certified i-MiEV dealer by referring to the
key number.
To prevent vehicle theft, the ID code for the
vehicle keys must be changed.
Take your vehicle and all remaining keys to a
certified i-MiEV dealer to have your ID code
changed.

Additional keys

To add a key, you need to register the ID code
to the vehicle.
Registering the ID code can be done by a cer-
tified i-MiEV dealer. Or it can be done by
yourself (except for vehicles sold in Canada).
To register the ID code yourself, follow the
"Customer key programming" procedure
