MODEL 1989 Galant and Mirage
SERVICE INFORMATION

The new 1989 Galant and Mirage models are equipped with a new 8-cut key/lock system (E-Series Key). Keys for this new system can be cut only on a 47~ code cutter which is different from the 6-cut or 8-cut 45~ code cutter used on current Mitsubishi models.

CAUTION: DO NOT USE A 45~ CODE CUTTER FOR CUTTING THE NEW STYLE KEYS AS THIS WILL RESULT IN A MISCUT. A MISCUT KEY CAN CAUSE THE IGNITION SWITCH TO STICK IN THE START POSITION, RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO THE STARTER SYSTEM.

Contact your local key cutter supplier for information on the new cutter and key codes.
