E00305600470
The

keyless operation system allows you to lock
and unlock the doors and tailgate, start the engine
and change the operation mode simply by carrying
the keyless operation key with you.
The keyless operation key can also be used as the
keyless entry system remote control switch.
Refer to “Keyless operation system: Keyless entry
system” on page 1-18.

The driver should always carry the keyless opera-
tion key. This key is necessary for locking and un-
locking the doors and tailgate, starting the engine
and otherwise operating the vehicle, so before lock-
ing and leaving the vehicle, be sure to check that
you have the keyless operation key. WARNING
l People
with implantable cardiac pacemak-
ers or implantable cardiovascular-defib-
rillators should not go near the exterior
transmitters (A) or the interior transmit-
ters (B). The radio waves used by the key-
less operation system could adversely af-
fect implantable cardiac pacemakers or
implantable cardiovascular-defibrillators. WARNING
l When using electro-medical devices other
than implantable cardiac pacemakers or
implantable cardiovascular-defibrilla-
tors, contact the electromedical device
manufacturer ahead of time to determine
the affects of radio waves on the devices.
Electromedical device operations could
be affected by radio waves.
You can limit the possible operations of the
keyless
operation system in the following
ways. (The keyless operation system can be
used as a keyless entry system.) Consult a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
Point. • You can limit operations to locking andunlocking the doors and tailgate. Locking and unlocking

• You can limit operations to starting the en-
gine.
• The keyless operation system can be disa- bled.

When keyless operation system operations
are modified, the transmitters operate as fol-
lows. • Only locking and unlocking doors or tail-gate: exterior and interior transmitters
• Only starting the engine: interior transmit- ter
NOTE l The keyless operation key uses an ultra-weak
electromagnetic wave. In the following ca-
ses, the keyless operation system may not op-
erate properly or may be unstable.
• When there is equipment nearby thatemits strong radio waves, such as: a pow-
er station, a radio/TV broadcasting sta-
tion or an airport.
• The keyless operation system is carried to- gether with a communications device
such as a cellular phone or radio set, or
with an electronic device such as a person-
al computer.
• The keyless operation key is touching or covered by a metal object.
• A keyless entry system is being used near- by.
• When the keyless operation key battery is worn out. • When the keyless operation key is placed
in an area with strong radio waves or noise.
In such cases, use the emergency key.
Refer to “To operate without using the
keyless operation function” on page
1-18.
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 a
MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized Service
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.
