l
If the turn-signal lamps do not blink after the
locking and unlocking operation using the
keyless entry system or the keyless operation
function, the security alarm system may be
malfunctioning.
Have
the
vehicle
inspected
at
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point.
If the confirmation function (blinking of the
turn-signal lamps by locking and unlocking
the doors) is deactivated, the turn-signal
lamps do not blink after the locking and un-
locking operation. For information on the con-
firmation function, refer to "Keyless entry sys-
tem" on pages 1-04, 1-22 and "To operate us-
ing the keyless operation function" on page
1-09.
l
The security alarm system could be activated
in the following situations.
• Using a car wash
• Taking the vehicle on a ferry
• Parking in an automated car park
• Leaving someone or a pet in the vehicle
• Leaving a window and the sunroof open.
• Leaving an unstable object such as a stuf-
fed toy or accessory in the vehicle
• Suffering a continuous impact or vibra-
tion by hail, thunder, etc.
According to the situations, deactivate the ve-
hicle inclination detection function and the in-
terior intrusion detection function.
Refer to "To deactivate the vehicle inclina-
tion detection function and the interior intru-
sion detection function" on page 1-36.
l
The sensitivity of the interior intrusion detec-
tion function can be adjusted. For details,
please contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point.
The security alarm has four modes:
System preparation mode (approx. 20 seconds)
(The buzzer sounds intermittently and the security
indicator (A) blinks.)
a
The system preparation time extends from the
point at which all of the doors are locked by press-
ing the LOCK switch on the remote control switch
or the keyless operation function to the point at
which the system activation mode goes into effect.
During this time, it is possible to temporarily open
a door or the trunk lid without using the keyless en-
try system or the keyless operation function and
without causing the alarm to sound (for example,
when you forget something inside the vehicle or re-
alize that a window is open).
System armed mode
(The buzzer stops and the security indicator contin-
ues to blink with the indicator's reduced lit-up dura-
tion time.)
Once the system preparation mode has ended, the
system armed mode starts.
OG1E12E1
Locking and unlocking
If an unlawful opening of any of the doors, trunk
lid or bonnet is detected during the system armed
mode, the alarm will be activated to warn people
around the vehicle of an abnormal condition.
Also, if unlawful moving of the vehicle is attemp-
ted or a vehicle intrusion is detected, the alarm will
be activated.
Alarm activation
The turn-signal lamps blink and the siren sounds
for approximately 30 seconds.
Refer to "Alarm activation" on page 1-37.
NOTE
l
The alarm will resume if unlawful actions
are taken again, even if the alarm has stopped.
System cancellation
It is possible to cancel the system activation during
the system preparation mode or the system armed
mode.
In addition, it is possible to cancel the alarm once it
has been activated.
Refer to "Cancelling the system" on page 1-36,
"Cancelling the alarm" on page 1-37.
NOTE
l
When lending the vehicle to another person
or allowing the vehicle to be driven by some-
one who is unfamiliar with the security
alarm system, be sure to give the person a
proper explanation of the security alarm sys-
tem.
If a person who is unfamiliar with the securi-
ty alarm system accidentally unlocked the ve-
hicle, causing the alarm to sound, the alarm
would be a nuisance to people nearby.
