As part of the radio's anti-theft system on some older model year vehicles (2002 and older), the radio resets itself whenever it loses power from the vehicle's battery. Radio security codes are associated with each individual radio unit rather than the vehicle identification number (VIN). The radio security code must be entered in order for the radio to work. When you purchased your vehicle, you should have received a card that lists the four-digit security code for the radio (sometimes owners find it inserted in the Owner's Manual or glove box). A sample card is shown below. Once you locate the radio code, please click for instructions to input the radio code and deactivate the anti-theft system.
If you are unable to locate your radio security code card, please click to visit the Radio Code Retrieval website for instructions on obtaining your radio security code. You may also contact your local Authorized Mitsubishi Dealer for assistance. The FAST-Key allows the driver to unlock the vehicle simply by having the remote in a pocket or purse and gripping the handle, or pressing a button near the door handle on either of the front doors or pressing a button on the trunk. The FAST-Key system provides both convenience and security since the driver does not need to search for a key or remote control while carrying packages or when in a poorly lit area, for example.
With the FAST-Key, instead of inserting and turning a key to start the engine, the driver simply presses the ignition knob on the steering column to release the lock, and then twists it to start the engine. On vehicles equipped with a One-touch Start System (OSS), all the driver has to do is press a button near the steering wheel to start the engine. Yes, if you have a Mitsubishi Navigation System, you can change the settings so that all the doors unlock: Go to SET Equipment Power Door Locks Unlock Operation. If you don't have a Navigation System, you can still change the settings by using the buttons on your FAST-key fob:. Step 1: Press and hold Lock #1 button. Step 2: While holding down the Lock #1 button, wait four seconds and then Press and hold Unlock #2 button (do not allow more than ten seconds to pass). Step 3: Keep holding down both buttons and then release Lock #1 button first.
Step 4: Release Unlock #2 button second. Repeat the above procedure to return the settings back to the default. If the customer mode does not work, the dealership can use a specialty tool to modify the settings as required. Please click to locate your nearest Mitsubishi dealership.
Yes, there is! In the event the battery dies in your FAST-key fob, you will still be able to start your car! First remove the ignition knob 'cap' in your vehicle by slightly depressing the sides of the cap. Next, release the emergency key (looks like a 'regular' key) from your FAST-key fob: If you turn your key fob over, there is a button on the back of the fob that releases the silver emergency key.
Once released, remove the emergency key, turn it around, and place the end of the key (where the ring is) in the key fob. Insert the key into the ignition and turn the engine over. (You must make sure the FAST-key fob is attached/touching the emergency key when starting the engine; the emergency key does not snap into the FAST-key fob so you may have to hold the key and the fob when turning the key in the ignition. Once the engine has started, you can remove the FAST-key fob, leaving the emergency key in the ignition, and place the fob in a secure location.) You can now drive to your local in order to have your vehicle diagnosed. You can also find additional information in your Owner's Manual about the emergency FAST-key operation.
For vehicles equipped with a One-touch Start System, you can find additional information regarding using the emergency key in your Owner's Manual. Please contact our Customer Relations Call Center at 1-888-MITSU (1-888-648-7820) for further assistance. Please note that importing your vehicle to Canada (or any other country) voids the warranty on your vehicle, as stated in your Warranty and Maintenance Manual. Canada requires that owners of vehicles less than 15 years old provide proof that the vehicle is free from any recalls before the vehicle may be imported to Canada. The required recall clearance letter can be provided by the Customer Relations Call Center for a nominal fee. Click to register your vehicle online so you can gain access to special Mitsubishi offers along with the remaining warranty coverage on your vehicle.

Note: Powertrain warranty coverage terms on passenger cars and SUVs may be dependent on whether or not you are the original owner of the vehicle. The Service Engine Soon (SES) indicator illuminates when your vehicle's computer has sensed a discrepancy with one of the systems in your vehicle.
If you are not experiencing any problems driving the vehicle, schedule an appointment as soon as possible with your local Authorized to have your vehicle diagnosed. If you are experiencing drivability concerns or your vehicle is not operable, you may contact Roadside Assistance to have your vehicle towed to the closest. The number is 1-888-MITSU (1-888-648-7820), Option 1/Option 1. Roadside Assistance is available 24 hours a day. If you have not tightened your gas cap all the way after filling up, the SES light may illuminate. Be sure to always tighten your gas cap after refueling until you hear it click three times.
The CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) requires a specially formulated CVT Fluid: Dia Queen J4 CVTF. Other fluids should not be used with the CVT because the Dia Queen J4 CVTF has been formulated to work as an integral component in the transmission. Other fluids will affect the CVT's operation and may void the warranty of the transmission. This special fluid allows the constant velocity drive belt in the transmission to work without the friction that would quickly destroy the belt should normal ATF be used in the transmission.
Check with your local Authorized if you have any further questions. If the Forward Collision Mitigation (FCM) 4 determines that a collision may occur by using its integrated radar, it will provide a visual and audible warning on the combination meter to alert the driver of an impending danger, and controls the vehicle braking by increasing the brake fluid pressure or enhancing the brake pedal effort. If a collision is highly anticipated, the system will brake the vehicle automatically in order to avoid or reduce the injury or danger due to the collision/accident. The Roadside Assistance plan covers the following:. 24/7 Roadside Assistance services include towing, emergency fuel and fluid delivery, jump starts in the event of a dead battery, exchange of a flat tire with your inflated spare, lockout assistance and mechanical 'first aid' for minor roadside repairs or adjustment.

Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback Review
As a Mitsubishi owner, should you ever need it, you have access to 24-hour emergency roadside assistance for five full years (3 years/36,000 miles for Mitsubishi i-MiEV), regardless of mileage. Covered services include towing (even in the event of an accident, as allowed under law, where there is no police report filed due to additional property damage or personal injury), jump starts, flat-tire service, emergency fuel and fluid delivery, lockout assistance, towing to your closest Mitsubishi dealership if the vehicle is inoperable, and much more. Generally, there is no charge for any of the covered services for five full years, regardless of mileage (3 years/36,000 miles for Mitsubishi i-MiEV). However, you will be responsible for the cost of non-warrantable parts, lost key replacement or non-warrantable tire repair. You are also responsible for the cost of any personal services we arrange for you. Beyond the five years, and through the term of the 10-year/100,000 mile Powertrain Limited Warranty for the first owner where applicable, we will arrange for a warrantable tow to your closest Mitsubishi dealership at no cost to you, if needed. We can arrange to make or change your reservations in case of delay associated with a roadside breakdown.
At your request, we will notify your family members or colleagues of a delay, call a business associate to cancel a meeting, or take care of any other necessary details to help ease any inconvenience. If needed, overnight accommodations can be arranged at a hotel or motel, or existing reservations can be changed as needed due to delays. We can also assist you in finding needed telephone numbers and ATMs. You are responsible for any costs associated with any services that are arranged. GPS accuracy can fluctuate throughout a trip. A portion of the trip could have poor GPS accuracy which may have an effect on the data calculations.
In order for the Autostart feature to be as battery efficient as possible, the app may miss the first few hundred yards of trip. If you have an Android device, primarily use the same vehicle, and the vehicle has a Bluetooth device, we recommend that you enable the option to 'stop Autostart unless the Bluetooth device is connected', as this will significantly increase the Autostart accuracy as well as enhance battery performance. As a rule of thumb, the app uses 1% of battery life per hour when detecting Autostart. When recording trips, it sues 6-10% per hour of driving, depending on the phone make, model, and age.
It will use more power if the screen is left on, so we recommend to prevent the app from draining your battery completely, a function is built in to terminate the app when your battery reaches a certain level which is preselected for your benefit. You can review and adjust this level in the SettingsEnable Battery Monitor menu, and select the threshold at which the app is deactivated by selecting the 'Battery Threshold' setting, also in the settings area. The app is designed to minimize the amount of data that is transmitted both to and from your smartphone, and in normal use; the data load is the equivalent of downloading 2-3 songs to your phone. You can further reduce the data impact with a few simple settings, available in the under the main Settings menu.
Instead, the app will securely store the trip data on the device until the device is connected to a Wi-Fi network before uploading the data over the Wi-Fi connection. Users selecting this option may see a delay in trip results appearing on the news scroll as trip results are processed after upload.

When an airbag deployment is detected or crash sensors identify a collision in a registered Mitsubishi Connect vehicle, the system triggers a signal that the vehicle has been in an accident.

While all accidents are important to us, not all accidents are severe enough to automatically trigger a collision notification call. In such a case, a manual push of the SOS Emergency Assistance button may be required. Please note that all safety services are subject to cellular network availability. Regenerative braking occurs when motion energy is converted into electric energy using the motor as a power generator. While decelerating, electric energy will be created and used to charge to the main drive lithium-ion battery.
There are two ways of regenerative braking on the Outlander PHEV: 1. If you lift your foot off the accelerator pedal while driving (coasting), a braking force equivalent to the engine braking of a gasoline or diesel powered vehicle will be generated.
Also, if you shift the select position into “B” (REGENERATIVE BRAKE) from “D” (DRIVE), the regenerative brake force will become stronger. Shift the selector lever into “B” (REGENERATIVE BRAKE) position according to the driving condition.
Controlled via the steering mounted paddle shifters, you can increase or reduce coasting to your liking to charge up the drive battery. As greater brake force is applied by depressing the brake pedal, increased regenerative braking occurs.

Of the dozen different mainstream compact cars from which to choose, the 2017 Mitsubishi Lancer is the oldest, by far. Its current generation dates back a decade, and while some updates have been made over that span, the Lancer lags better options that range from the benchmark Honda Civic to ever-improving rivals like the Hyundai Elantra and Chevrolet Cruze. The Lancer's long-in-the-tooth status isn't its only detriment.
In addition to lacking the latest tech, safety and comfort features, the Lancer's lineup and engine choices have dwindled. The Evo performance model is gone, as are the versatile Sportback hatch and the spicy Ralliart turbocharged variant. Still, some bright spots remain.
In the Lancer's favor are available all-wheel drive, aggressive looks and a long warranty. The Mitsubishi Lancer has always been on the sportier side compared to more well-known competitors like the Toyota Corolla and Nissan Sentra, and that remains true. While the base 2.0-liter engine is rather anemic, the more recommendable 168-horsepower 2.4-liter moves the Lancer better than expected.
2017 Mitsubishi Lancer Owners Manual
All 2.4-liter models come with a selectable All Wheel Control system that lets you choose between front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD) for better traction on slippery roads. The Lancer is moderately fun in corners and its continuously variable automatic transmission does a decent job mimicking a conventional automatic. But more flingable fun can be had in a Mazda3, and a Honda Civic's CVT feels more natural.
Unfortunately the Lancer still uses a tilt-only steering wheel. Without the ability to telescope, it can compromise driving position. Outward visibility is good, but interior noise levels remind you you're in a dated compact car.
ROCKFORD FOSGATE SOUND SYSTEM This 9-speaker, 710-watt audio system available in a package brings some much-needed premium-quality fare to the 2017 Lancer. It also sounds really good. ALL-WHEEL CONTROL Mitsubishi calls the Lancer’s electronically controlled all-wheel-drive system All-Wheel Control. It includes a mode selector for front-wheel drive, all-wheel-drive 'Auto' or all-wheel-drive 'Lock,' to maintain optimum traction in all kinds of weather or driving conditions. It is now standard on all 2.4-liter Lancer models. Vehicle Details. Even in top form, the 2017 Lancer's 5-passenger interior is pretty drab and dated.
Hard plastics, minimal controls and a steering wheel that doesn't even telescope are what you'll have to live with in Mitsubishi's small sedan. Among the few bright spots is the now-standard 6.1-inch touch-screen display that controls audio functions and the optional navigation system. We hope you like black, as that's the only interior color available, whether you go with the standard cloth seating or available leather. The rear seat folds in a 60/40-split for added cargo flexibility. In its most basic form, as a Lancer 2.0 ES, this Mitsubishi sedan now comes better equipped for 2017 with standard features like a 6.1-inch touch-screen audio display, rearview camera, alloy wheels, Fuse Bluetooth hands-free phone connectivity and 4-speaker AM/FM/CD audio system with HD Radio and USB input. All Lancers include seven airbags and traction/stability-control systems. Of note is Mitsubishi's warranty, which covers 10 years/100,000 miles for the powertrain, a fully transferrable 5-year/60,000-mile basic warranty, and five years/unlimited miles of roadside assistance.
Stepping up to a 2.4-liter Lancer brings the larger, more powerful and more recommendable engine, automatic transmission, and all-wheel-drive system. SE and SEL models have sport-tuned suspension, heated front seats and upgraded audio system, while topline SEL models come with leather interior, rain-sensing windshield wipers and automatic headlights. The Lancer's lone major package, called 'Sun & Sound,' includes a sunroof and the premium Rockford Fosgate audio system. A navigation system is also available, as are rear parking sensors and roof-rack crossbars. The latest Lancer is available with just two engines, and only one of them is really recommendable. Base models use a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder that puts out a just-adequate 148 horsepower. The more recommendable choice is the 168-horsepower 2.4-liter.
For 2017, all 2.0-liter models are front-wheel drive (FWD), while all 2.4-liter versions are all-wheel drive (AWD). A manual transmission is used only in the base 2.0 model. All others use a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Note: As with other 2017 cars, the Lancer's fuel-economy ratings are slightly lower this year due to a change in EPA testing.
2.0-liter inline-4 148 horsepower @ 6,000 rpm 145 lb-ft of torque @ 4,200 rpm EPA city/highway fuel economy: 24/33 mpg (manual), 27/34 mpg (automatic) 2.4-liter inline-4 168 horsepower @ 6,000 rpm 167 lb-ft of torque @ 4,100 rpm EPA city/highway fuel economy: 23/30 mpg Note: Due to changes in EPA testing to more effectively reflect real-world conditions, some 2017 models show slightly lower fuel-economy scores than their 2016 versions. The 2017 Mitsubishi Lancer has a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) around $18,630 for an ES 2.0 model with the 5-speed manual transmission.
Adding an automatic transmission is another $1,000. At the top of the Lancer lineup, an SEL model is just under $23,000 and can climb another few thousand with a navigation system and the sunroof/audio package.
These prices are certainly enticing, but in reality aren't that far below better rivals like the Honda Civic or Mazda3. In the case of the Hyundai Elantra and, which are fresher, more efficient and match Mitsubishi's 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, those competitors start for less than the less-recommendable Lancer. Before buying, check the KBB.com Fair Purchase Price to see what others in your area are paying for their new Mitsubishi. As you've probably surmised, the Lancer's resale value is yet another area in which it trails the competition.
