if the key code matches the unique
identification key code previously
programmed into the ECU. If the codes
do not match, the engine and fuel
system will be disabled.
In addressing the specific content
requirements of 543.6, Mitsubishi
provided information on the reliability
and durability of its proposed device.
To ensure reliability and durability of
the device, Mitsubishi conducted tests
based on its own specified standards.
Mitsubishi provided a detailed list of
the tests conducted and believes that the
device is reliable and durable since the
device complied with its specific
requirements for each test. Mitsubishi
additionally stated that its immobilizer
system is further enhanced by several
factors making it very difficult to defeat.
Specifically, Mitsubishi stated that
communication between the
transponder and the ECU are encrypted.
The WCM has over 4.2 billion and the
OSS has over 2.4 million different
possible key codes that make successful
key code duplication virtually
impossible. Mitsubishi also stated that
its immobilizer system and the ECU
share security data during vehicle
assembly that make them a matched set.
These matched modules will not
function if taken out and reinstalled
separately on other vehicles. Mitsubishi
also stated that it is impossible to
mechanically override the system and
start the vehicle because the vehicle will
not be able to start without the
transmission of the specific code to the
electronic control module. Lastly,
Mitsubishi stated that the antitheft
device is extremely reliable and durable
because there are no moving parts, nor
does the key require a separate battery.
Mitsubishi informed the agency that
the Outlander Sport vehicle line was
first equipped with the proposed device
beginning with its MY 2011 vehicles.
Additionally, Mitsubishi informed the
agency that its Eclipse vehicle line has
been equipped with the device
beginning with its MY 2000 vehicles.
Mitsubishi stated that the theft rate for
the MY 2000 Eclipse decreased by
almost 42% when compared with that
of its MY 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse
(unequipped with an immobilizer
device). Mitsubishi also revealed that
the Galant, Endeavor, Outlander and
Lancer vehicle lines have been
equipped with a similar type of
immobilizer device since January 2004,
April 2004, September 2006 and March
2007 respectively. The Mitsubishi
Galant, Endeavor, Outlander and Lancer
vehicle lines have all been granted
parts-marking exemptions by the agency
and the average theft rates using 3 MY’s
data are 4.8061, 2.5410, 0.9507 and
VerDate Mar<15>2010

3.1547 respectively. Therefore,
Mitsubishi has concluded that the
antitheft device proposed for its vehicle
line is no less effective than those
devices in the lines for which NHTSA
has already granted full exemption from
the parts-marking requirements.
Based on the supporting evidence
submitted by Mitsubishi on the device,
the agency believes that the antitheft
device for the Outlander Sport vehicle
line is likely to be as effective in
reducing and deterring motor vehicle
theft as compliance with the partsmarking requirements of the Theft
Prevention Standard (49 CFR Part 541).
The agency concludes that the device
will provide the five types of
performance listed in § 543.6(a)(3):
Promoting activation; attract attention to
the efforts of an unauthorized person to
enter or move a vehicle by means other
than a key; preventing defeat or
circumvention of the device by
unauthorized persons; preventing
operation of the vehicle by
unauthorized entrants; and ensuring the
reliability and durability of the device.
Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 33106 and 49
CFR 543.7(b), the agency grants a
petition for an exemption from the
parts-marking requirements of Part 541
either in whole or in part, if it
determines that, based upon substantial
evidence, the standard equipment
antitheft device is likely to be as
effective in reducing and deterring
motor vehicle theft as compliance with
the parts-marking requirements of Part
541. The agency finds that Mitsubishi
has provided adequate reasons for its
belief that the antitheft device for the
Mitsubishi Outlander Sport vehicle line
is likely to be as effective in reducing
and deterring motor vehicle theft as
compliance with the parts-marking
requirements of the Theft Prevention
Standard (49 CFR Part 541). This
conclusion is based on the information
Mitsubishi provided about its device.
For the foregoing reasons, the agency
hereby grants in full Mitsubishi’s
petition for exemption for the Outlander
Sport vehicle line from the partsmarking requirements of 49 CFR Part
541, beginning with the 2012 model
year vehicles. The agency notes that 49
CFR Part 541, Appendix A–1, identifies
those lines that are exempted from the
Theft Prevention Standard for a given
model year. 49 CFR Part 543.7(f)
contains publication requirements
incident to the disposition of all Part
543 petitions. Advanced listing,
including the release of future product
nameplates, the beginning model year
for which the petition is granted and a
general description of the antitheft
device is necessary in order to notify
PO 00000
Frm 00069
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
8401
law enforcement agencies of new
vehicle lines exempted from the partsmarking requirements of the Theft
Prevention Standard.
If Mitsubishi decides not to use the
exemption for this line, it must formally
notify the agency. If such a decision is
made, the line must be fully marked as
required by 49 CFR 541.5 and 541.6
(marking of major component parts and
replacement parts).
NHTSA notes that if Mitsubishi
wishes in the future to modify the
device on which this exemption is
based, the company may have to submit
a petition to modify the exemption. Part
543.7(d) states that a Part 543 exemption
applies only to vehicles that belong to
a line exempted under this part and
equipped with the antitheft device on
which the line’s exemption is based.
Further, § 543.9(c)(2) provides for the
submission of petitions ‘‘to modify an
exemption to permit the use of an
antitheft device similar to but differing
from the one specified in that
exemption.’’
The agency wishes to minimize the
administrative burden that § 543.9(c)(2)
could place on exempted vehicle
manufacturers and itself. The agency
did not intend Part 543 to require the
submission of a modification petition
for every change to the components or
design of an antitheft device. The
significance of many such changes
could be de minimis. Therefore, NHTSA
suggests that if the manufacturer
contemplates making any changes, the
effects of which might be characterized
as de minimis, it should consult the
agency before preparing and submitting
a petition to modify.
