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.
Operating range of the keyless opera-
tion system E00305700367
If you are carrying the keyless operation key, enter
the

operating range of the keyless operation sys-
tem, and press the driver’s or front passenger’s
door lock/unlock switch, the tailgate LOCK switch
or the tailgate OPEN switch, the ID code for your
key is verified. You can only lock and unlock the doors and tail-
gate,

start the engine and change the operation
mode if the ID codes of your keyless operation key
and the vehicle match. NOTE
l 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 be-
come unstable. Locking and unlocking

CAUTION
l
When the engine is not running, put the
operation mode in OFF. Leaving the oper-
ation mode in ON or ACC for a long time
when the engine is not running may cause
the battery to be discharged, making it im-
possible to start the engine, lock and un-
lock the steering wheel.
l When the battery is disconnected, the cur-
rent operation mode is memorized. After
reconnecting the battery, the memorized
mode is selected automatically. Before dis-
connecting the battery for repair or re-
placement, make sure to put the opera-
tion mode in OFF.
Be careful if you are not sure which oper-
ation mode the vehicle is in when the bat-
tery is run down.
l The operation mode cannot be changed
from OFF to ACC or ON if the keyless op-
eration key is not detected to be in the ve-
hicle. Refer to “Keyless operation system:
Operating range for starting the engine
and changing the operation mode” on
page 1-09.
ACC power auto-cutout function E00312300033
After approximately 30 minutes has elapsed with
the

operation mode in ACC, the function automati-
cally cuts out the power for the audio system and
other electric devices that can be operated with that
mode.
When the engine switch is pressed while the opera-
tion mode is in ACC, the power is supplied again
to those devices. NOTE
l It is possible to modify functions as follows:
• The

time until the power cuts out can be
changed to approximately 60 minutes.
• The ACC power auto-cutout function can be deactivated.
For details, consult a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
