l
Because the keyless operation key receives
signals in order to communicate with the trans-
mitters in the vehicle, the battery continually
wears down regardless of keyless operation
key use. The battery life is 1 to 3 years, de-
pending on usage conditions. When the bat-
tery wears out, have it replaced at your
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Serv-
ice Point.
l Because the keyless operation key continual-
ly receives signals, strong radio wave recep-
tion could affect battery wear. Do not leave
the key near a TV, personal computer, or oth-
er electronic device.
