2014 Mitsubishi Outlander – Keyless Entry Remote & Smart Key Programming Guide

Standard Key or Remote Head Key – Immobilizer (Start Function) Programming

Note: This procedure is not valid for Canadian models. To register a new key, you must have two currently programmed keys. This process only programs the ignition/start function. If the key includes remote lock/unlock buttons, they must be programmed separately.

  • Step 1: Insert the first programmed key into the ignition. Turn it to the ON position for 5 seconds (do not start the engine), then turn it OFF and remove the key.
  • Step 2: Within 30 seconds, insert the second programmed key and turn it to the ON position.
  • Step 3: After approximately 10 seconds, the immobilizer indicator will begin to blink.
  • Step 4: Turn the second key to the OFF position and remove it once the indicator starts blinking.
  • Step 5: Within 30 seconds, insert the new unprogrammed key into the ignition and turn it to the ON position. If the immobilizer light stays on solid for 3 seconds and then turns off, programming is complete. If it turns off early or fails to blink, restart from Step 1.
  • Step 6: Test the new key to confirm it starts the engine.
  • Step 7: Repeat for any additional keys you wish to add. Remote Head Key – Remote Button Programming (Lock/Unlock Functions) This section is used to program the remote control buttons.

  • Step 2: With a programmed remote, press and hold the UNLOCK button for 4 to 10 seconds, then press and hold the LOCK button.
  • Step 3: Within 10 seconds, release the LOCK button first, then the UNLOCK button. The door locks will cycle (lock and unlock) to confirm entry into programming mode.
  • Step 4: Within 60 seconds, program each additional remote as follows: Press and hold both LOCK and UNLOCK for 2 seconds Release both buttons for 1 second Press and release UNLOCK
  • Step 5: If successful, the doors will lock and unlock again.
  • Step 6: Repeat Step 4 for each additional remote. If no remotes are registered within 60 seconds, the system will automatically exit programming mode.
