If you are carrying the keyless operation key,
enter the operating range of the keyless oper-
ation system, and press the driver’s or front
passenger’s door lock/unlock switch, the tail-
gate LOCK switch (when locking) or pull the
tailgate handle lever (when unlocking), the
ID code for your key is verified.
You can lock and unlock the doors and the
tailgate, start the engine and change the oper-
ation mode only if the ID codes of your key-
less operation key and the vehicle match.
WARNING
When using electro-medical devices other
than implantable cardiac pacemakers or
implantable cardiovascular-defibrilla-
tors, contact the electro-medical device
manufacturer ahead of time to determine
the adverse effects of radio waves on the
devices. Electro-medical device operations
could be affected by radio waves.
NOTE
The keyless operation key uses an ultra-weak
electromagnetic wave. In the following
cases, the keyless operation system may not
operate properly or may be unstable.
• When there is equipment nearby that emits
strong radio waves, such as: a power sta-
tion, a radio/TV broadcasting station or an
airport.
• The keyless operation system is carried
together with a communications device
such as a cellular phone or radio set, or with
an electronic device such as a personal
computer.
• The keyless operation key is touching or
covered by a metal object.
• A keyless entry system is being used
nearby.
• When the keyless operation key battery is
worn out.
• When the keyless operation key is set down
in an area with strong radio waves or noise.
In such cases, use the emergency key.
Refer to “To lock/unlock without using the
keyless operation function” on page 3-10.
Because the keyless operation key receives
signals in order to communicate with the
transmitters in the vehicle, the battery con-
tinually wears down regardless of keyless
operation key use. The battery life is 1 to
2 years, depending on usage conditions.
When the battery wears out, replace the bat-
tery according to the description in this man-
ual or have it replaced an authorised
MITSUBISHI MOTORS dealer.
Refer to “Procedure for replacing the key
battery” on page 3-5.
NOTE
Because the keyless operation key continu-
ally receives signals, strong radio wave
reception could affect battery wear. Do not
leave the key near a TV, personal computer,
or other electronic device.
Operating range of the keyless
operation system
NOTE
If the keyless operation key battery is wear-
ing out or there are strong electromagnetic
waves or noise present, the operating range
may become smaller and operation may
become unstable.
