Electronic Immobilizer (Anti-Theft Starting System) - Mitsubishi Electric GRANDIS OXPE10E1 Owner's Manual

Electronic immobilizer
(Anti-theft starting system)
E00300201553
The electronic immobilizer is designed to signifi-
cantly 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.
NOTE
l In the following cases, the vehicle may not
be able to receive the registered ID code
from the key. This means the engine 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 (Type A)
• When the key grip contacts metal of an-
other key (Type B)
• When the key contacts or is close to other
immobilizing keys (including keys of oth-
er vehicles) (Type C)
In cases like these, remove the object or
additional key from the vehicle key and
turn the key back to the "ACC" or
"LOCK" position. Then try again to start
the engine. If the engine does not start,
we recommend you to contact your
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point.
NOTE
l If you lose your key, order a key from your
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-reg-
istered in the immobilizer computer unit.
The immobilizer can register up to 8 differ-
ent keys.
Locking and unlocking
CAUTION
l
Don't make any alterations or additions
to the immobilizer system; alterations or
additions could cause failure of the immo-
bilizer.
