Only keys that have been programmed to the vehicle’s electronics can be used to start the vehicle. If you lose the key, you can order a key from your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer by referring to the key number. To prevent vehicle theft, the ID code for thevehicle keys must be changed. Take your vehicle and all remaining keys to your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer tohave your ID code changed. To add a key, you need to register the ID code to the vehicle. Registering the ID code can be done by your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer. Or itcan be done by yourself (except for vehicles sold in Canada).
NOTE
 Do not attach additional keys or accessories to the ignition key. Such objects could pre- vent the driver’s knee airbag from inflating normally. Refer to “Deployment of front air- bags” on page 4-29.  In the following cases, the vehicle may not be able to recognize the registered ID codefrom the key. This means the engine will not start even when the key is turned to the “START” position. • When the key contacts a key ring or other metallic or magnetic object (Type A) • When the key grip contacts metal of another key (Type B) • When the key contacts or is close to other immobilizer keys (including keys of othervehicles) (Type C)
 In cases like the above, move the offending object(s) away from the key and turn the key back to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position. Then try to start the
engine again. If the
engine does not start, contact an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.

The F.A.S.T.-key must be carried by the driver. The F.A.S.T.-key is required for vehicle operations such as locking and unlocking the doors, opening the trunk lid, and starting the engine. When leaving the vehicle, make sure you are carrying the F.A.S.T.-key and then lock the vehi-cle.
WA R N I N G Individuals who use implantable pace- makers or implantable cardioverter-defi- brillators should keep away from the external and internal
transmitters. The
electromagnetic waves used in the F.A.S.T.-key may affect the operation of implantable pacemakers and implantablecardioverter-defibrillators.

When a person enters the operating range of the F.A.S.T.-key while carrying the F.A.S.T.- key and presses the driver’s or front passen-ger’s door lock/unlock switch or the trunk lid OPEN switch, verification of the ID code is performed.The F.A.S.T.-key enables the doors to be locked and unlocked, the trunk lid to be opened and the engine to be started only
when the ID codes of the vehicle and F.A.S.T.-key match. The operating range is within about 2.3 feet (70 cm) of the driver’s and front passenger’s door lock/unlock switches, and the center of the trunk lid.
NOTE
 The F.A.S.T.-key uses weak electromagnetic waves.In cases such as the following, operation may be improper or unstable. • The vehicle is near a facility that emits strong electromagnetic waves, such as a TV transmitting tower, a power station, a radiostation or an airport • The key is carried together with other com- munication devices such as cellular phones or radios, or electrical appliances such as computers • The F.A.S.T.-key touches or is covered by a metal object • A keyless entry system is being used nearby • The battery of the F.A.S.T.-key is run down• The vehicle is in a location with strong electromagnetic waves or noise
Use the emergency key in such circum- stances. Refer to “To operate using the emergency key” on page 5-23.  The F.A.S.T.-key is constantly performing reception operations in its communication with the vehicle. This means that the batteryis always running down, regardless of how often the F.A.S.T.-key is used. The battery life is about 1 to 3 years, depending on theusage conditions.  Since the F.A.S.T.-key is constantly perform- ing reception operations, the reception of strong electromagnetic waves can accelerate the running down of the battery. Do not placenear electrical appliances such as televisions or computers.
