Programming Guide for 2016 Mitsubishi Mirage Keyless Entry Remote Fob (Smart Key)

Important Notice: This vehicle does not support onboard programming for keyless entry remote fobs. Programming requires specialized diagnostic equipment and must be performed by a qualified technician.

Programming Procedure

  • Step 1: Locate a Qualified Professional Find a certified automotive technician or service provider who has the necessary equipment to program the smart key remote fob for your vehicle.
  • Step 2: Consider Cost-Effective Options If your vehicle is still drivable, driving it to the technician’s location may save you money compared to having a mobile technician come to your location, as traveling to the service center is often more economical.
  • Step 3: Prepare All Key Fobs Ensure you have all current key fobs, including the one you wish to program. Some systems require all existing fobs to be present during the programming process.
  • Step 4: Provide Proof of Ownership The technician may ask for proof of ownership, such as your vehicle registration or title, before proceeding with the programming.
  • Step 5: Connect to the Vehicle’s System The technician will use specialized diagnostic equipment to securely access your vehicle's system and initiate the smart key remote fob programming.
  • Step 6: Programming the Smart Key Remote Fob The technician will initiate the programming process, pairing the new remote fob with your vehicle’s security system to ensure it functions correctly.
  • Step 7: Testing the Programmed Fob Once the programming process is complete, the technician will test the remote fob to ensure it works properly with your vehicle, verifying both the remote keyless entry and starting system.
  • Step 8: Program Additional Fobs (If Needed) If you have additional fobs that need to be programmed, the technician will repeat the process for each one. All fobs should be programmed in the same session to ensure they are synchronized with the vehicle’s system.
  • Step 9: Exit Programming Mode After all fobs have been successfully programmed, the technician will exit programming mode and return the vehicle to normal operation.
  • Step 10: Retrieve Your Vehicle and Key Fobs Once the programming is complete and tested, retrieve your vehicle and the newly programmed remote fobs. Ensure all fobs are functioning properly before leaving the service provider.
